Transforming People Academy

Believe in yourself.

Perfection is overrated. It’s an idealistic thought not of this world but from the world of numbers and theory. We live in a world of physics. Of physical things. Things get messy and ugly and messed up. Without the darkness there is not light. Without pain there is no concept of relief. Without challenge there is no achievement. ⠀
⠀
I have coaches thousands of clients and students over the past 15 years. That’s a lot of stories of people seeking to be better, to breakthrough, to rise above the pain of banality. One things is clear: Seeking Perfection is where we most often lose out on creating our dreams.

You are build to fail and recover. We call it resilience. You are designed to learn from your mistakes. If you have never failed in your life, you have never aimed for anything of significance. ⠀
⠀
Please. I beg you. Aim higher. Take some calculated risks. Ask for help and build something incredible.

“There is no user manual for life but the one you have yet to write. “

At the end of your life pleas do not hand in your notebook with blank pages. Write the story you dreamed of living and made it happen. Have no regrets. How would you feel having got there and looking back on all the achievement you made along the way.

Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try. ⠀

Believe in yourself⠀

Have you ever been handed a Herculean Task only to cry “why me?”⠀
⠀
Take a flash back to 2003 and my first Personal Development training - an event I knew nothing about except a close friend who said “Just do it”.⠀
⠀
It was at a pivotal moment In my life. Burnt out. I was an emotional rollercoaster. I had chronic insomnia. I was desperate for change. ⠀
⠀
I went all-in on every assignment. I committed and followed the process. That weekend I cured my asthma, got my confidence back, overcome phobia, healed up conflicts, overcame major obstacles in my thinking and totally changed my life. ⠀
⠀
That’s when I decided to go all in and then teach what I had learned. ⠀
⠀
I put my greatest insights into my book on the Pillars of Transformation (available from amazon) and for the next 15 years I devoted every spare minute to teaching this material to as many people as I could. I coached people and trained coaches from all over the world. ⠀
⠀
But over the years, a deeper realisation sank in. I was quite unique. Most people did not have the transformation that I did. Most people did not commit. Most people didn’t face the mountain in front but turned their back on the mission. ⠀
⠀
Why? Because being a Change Catalyst also means being an entrepreneur. ⠀
⠀
Being an Entrepreneur is hard. Anyone who says otherwise is a dreamer. ⠀
⠀
Why is this the case? It is because the alternative is so easy. ⠀
⠀
It’s easy to turn up to work every day, to ask your boss for a raise, to coast, to pretend you are busy, to just clock-in the hours, to do just enough and to know you will always have a pay check coming every week even if everything goes wrong! ⠀
⠀
That is, until everything goes wrong,⠀
.. like a global pandemic. ⠀
⠀
But it’s not so easy to be 100% responsible for your destiny, to have a mission greater than you can ever achieve if you take the easy path. ⠀
⠀
As an entrepreneur, you are not just responsible for your success! You are responsible for which mountain you climb, and for whom you bring along with you on that path. ⠀
⠀
You may not have chosen your mountain, but it’s your choice to climb it or not. ⠀
⠀
Don’t take the easy path.⠀
⠀
Aim Higher.

“I’m not ready”. Who ever is? Perfection is the thief of Joy. Your desire to be perfect will stop you from doing all the things you really want to do.

Every day you lose opportunities when you allow fear to stop you moving forward. The only regrets I have in my life are the things I decided not to do..And In those fleeting moments I would say “it’s wasn’t for me” or “I made the right decision “ or “my gut told me it wasn’t the time”.

Here is the reality : Your Gut is not the most intelligent organ in your body. Your gut reacts out of FEAR. Your gut feeling is that feeling that says “stay safe, take the easy option. Say No for now”.

The most powerful intelligence does not come from your Gut but from Heart-Mind Coherence. It’s what I call The Law of Coherence in my book “Pillars of Transformation (available from ).

When you dream and you have a plan to make that dream a reality you tap into a force that goes beyond normal intellect. You tap into a state of Flow. This is the one true attribute of Leadership and Champions.

So, really question are you on the right path. Are you getting the support you need. Are you making steps every day to make your world a better place. Walk the wire.

Aim Higher.

A lot of people including myself are hitting indecision points. A lot has changed for all of us. I have gone through a massive amount of change too recently.
-

In the comfort of my own mind I thought it was perhaps because I has just reached a new peak on the mountain and realised the long term climb was much, much higher than expected and I just needed a new strategy. The truth be known is that I'm thinking bigger because I feel more supported than I ever have before so I feel ready to take a bigger leap of faith.

-

That's scary. Really scary 😱 and exciting 🔥😁

-

And so I find myself projecting onto others. Should we change the name of one if our programmes or not? Should we change the logo. I get caught up in debating the micro decisions instead of focussing on the macro. The big picture. The details will sort themselves out.
-

Then this quote came to mind. “It's not about making the right decision. It's about making the decision right.”
-

It changed something inside of me. So, what does it mean for me? Just move. Take action. Move forward. I have given up on getting things right. Some People will throw dirt anyways. Some people will hate anyways. But the people who matter will support you. They will recognise the journey. Because it's their journey too.
-

I'm not there yet. I hit a block most every day. It Sucks some time. Never mind. I Make it right. The secret: Find some amazingly positive people to surround yourself with and walk bravely into the unknown.
-

Believe me. No one knows the answers. They just look like they do.

Make it right.
