So very sad to hear about the death of Bob Proctor, an unbelievable man in the personal development space. If you have never read one of his books or looked at his clips on You Tube, please do yourself a favour and look this legend of a man up,, he can change your life.

What do you think is the number 1 worry for the average man?

It always amazes me how certain things resonate with me and others do not.

Over the years I have followed so many health and fitness experts and motivational quotes to get motivated to lose the blubber around my waist!....yet nothing has really worked for me.

Until now!

Was it something from The Rock, Joe Wicks or any of the others with bodies like granite?

No

It was from the aged Warren Buffett (his surname has been a downfall to many a diet for me!) Yes, the billionaire probably not well known for his health tips, but I was lucky to read the following extract from a talk Mr Buffet had with some students.

"I will give you all a car, it can be whatever car you want, no matter the cost. However, there is one condition and that is, you will have this car for life and no other car. You will no doubt look after that car and care for it so it can last a life time"

"Obviously I am not giving you all a car and indeed you will have more than one car throughout your life, BUT you only get one mind and one body to last a lifetime, so you need to care for this"

Wow, I only have a ford fiesta, but I would never let it get rusty, low battery or fill it up with diesel (it is a petrol car), yet I am happy to fill my body with dodgy fuel (eg Sugar) forget to get a regular MOT, fail to make repairs quickly and so much more.....

Well, thanks Mr Buffett, changes are being made, better fuel and a few repairs are being carried out.

Happy Men's International Day!

Did you know that su***de is the highest cause of death for men under 45 in the western world.

We all know that men are unlikely to ask for help or tell a mate they need support, we also know that as men, we are unlikely to question a mate and too many times accept:

"things are not too bad, mate"

"I am alright, you?"

We need to look our mate in the eye and tell him

"That's great mate, but you know if you ever need to talk about something or need support, you can count on me, I know I can count on you"

Talk about lightening striking twice!

Following the disappointment with England losing the final, I awake on Monday morning to hear the devastating news that my favourite aunt and godmother had passed away (she was ill, but no one expected such a sudden down turn).

It is amazing how our feelings and emotions can change in a heartbeat, that is why it is so important to remember when life is hard 'This too will pass'.

I have decided to delve into the methods of the Stoics to help me handle the rollercoaster of life.

I have a few calls from friends asking why I am investing my free time in coaching others (in a supportive manner), so I thought I would answer that here.

Unfortunately due to various reasons, several male friends/family have committed su***de and I cannot help feel sad that they must have all had dreams and goals that were never met. Now, I am not suggesting that not fulfilling their goals was a reason they took such sad tragic actions, but it made me realise that life is short and so often family and finance pressures (to name but a few) can often take over our brief lives and that so many do not get the chance to fulfil their dreams and passions.

It is this reason why - and I hope my female connections forgive me - I want to help other men to achieve their goals in life and live a fulfilling life. We all know that so many men suffer from depression and other mental health issues and many fail to acknowledge this and seek help from the wonderful resources to hand, such as counsellors or even just chatting to a mate. I feel the reason is often because men prefer to look forward rather than back and by seeking help from the many coaches available, they can start to actually fulfil their ambitions and find within the solutions that they seek.

Will England win or lose? Who knows, but what we do know is that you have to be in it to win it!! Same with any goal

Wow, what a year so far, COVID, Lockdowns and England defeating Germany!! Sorry I have not been sharing any content, there are various reasons which I will not bore you all with. But I am hitting it again and plan to continue to thrive and not just survive.
