The Time is NOW!

99-SECOND READ

'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now '

Chinese Proverb


The same rule applies to any change you want to make to yourself or your life!


How good is your life of 10 right now? What would make it better?


Any important change you want to make in your life will scare you to some extent: breaking a habit, changing your career, starting a business, making time for your hobbies, working on your dream, improving your relationship, learning something new, or going somewhere new. All of these things are scary on some level.


The reasons why you say you're not doing what you want, or making the change, aren't true. They are just plausible-sounding justifications.


  • I don't have enough money
  • I'm too busy right now
  • It will be easier when...
  • I'll do it after I get married/buy the house/sell the car 


Nope! They are not the real reasons; Fear is the real reason. It's always easier to wait, to downplay their importance... I put off travelling the world for the whole of my twenties ('I'll do it next year'), not because I couldn't afford it, but because I didn't prioritise it. 


You, reading this email, can either come up with plausible-sounding reasons to delay or you can make it happen...

In a warm, non-judgemental space, I will support you, encourage you and hold you accountable to making your goals happen, right now, one step at a time.


"Don't wait. The time will never be just right." - Napoleon Hill 


If you don't make the change you want to make in your life now, when will you, really? 


There will never be a 'right' time, you will never feel 100% ready.

'I had a true breakthrough session with Simon. In just our first session together, he was able to identify the root fears blocking me and through his thought-provoking questions helped me come up with a solution to break that pattern.


I wasn't expecting this level of breakthrough in my first session with him, but was very pleasantly surprised! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to help unlock your highest potential!'
