My 'Reading' List

Well I hope that you've recovered from the festivities. Yesterday was absolute mayhem here, it's the day we visit everyone who we didn't have time to go see on Christmas day. Onwards!

I promised that today I would list all of the amazing resources that I was endowed with over Christmas. These are the things that I will be reviewing as I devour them over the next few weeks and months.

So here is the list:

Awaken the Giant Within - Anthony Robbins
Strangely I have thus far gone without ever accessing Tony's materials and now feel it's time to tap in to his phenomenon. This is a 2 disc audio set and is at the top of my list and will be first to receive a full review here on completion.

Lessons in Mastery: - Anthony Robbins
A second audio CD set - yes as well as the tons of books I have I like to change the sensory interaction I have with learning materials and recently I have been absolutely loving audio learning. This is a mammoth 5 CD audio set so will of course take a little time and much commitment to fully appreciate.

Off the Wall Marketing Ideas: - Nancy Michaels & Debbi J. Karpowicz
This looks very interesting in it's paper-back and funky layout. I'm very much looking forward to seeing just how good the ideas within really are.

Motivating Your Audience - Hanoch McCarty
Always having been interested in the greatest ways to communicate I am very excited to see what tips McCarty shares from his years in the speaking business that can bed applied to daily communication and being for effective when persuading people.

The Missing Secret - Dr Joe Vitale
Joe Vitale was once a magician, before that he lived on the streets. Since then the story goes that he discovered something within himself that turned his life around. Not only a spiritual man but also looked upon by many as a marketing genius. I'll stick my nose in to this audio CD set and tell you what I think about it all.

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion - Robert Cialdini
A classic text of human psychology. Another one that slipped through the net. Persuasion is useful in many facets of life, from conversing with friends to selling to clients and even communicating more effectively with those clients who are already sold on us.

Guerrilla Marketing - Jay Conrad Levinson
This book focuses on how to maximum return for very little investment. Ideal for the small business which is what makes it so appealing. Many of the marketing books out there at the moment focus on ideas and concepts that we small business owners could never do. This book is focused on marketing and sales for us little guys. It should be packed with ideas. I'd hope.

So that indeed is the list of things I will be reading over the next few weeks and months. If you like what you see then you might want to grab a copy. For ease I've linked the titles with amazon so you can read other reviews and even grab your own copy if you so wish.

Have a great day. The big announcement is coming soon!

Resolutions are SUPER Important in 2009

I hope you had a GREAT Christmas day yesterday! I'll tell you all about mine tomorrow. But FIRST something I saw and immediately made me think I just HAD to share it here with you.

I hate to mention it but yes 2009 is going to be even tougher on all of us than this past year. So we have to work harder at achieving everything that we want. For that reason I am encouraging you to set more steady, life changing New Years Resolutions for 2009. And more importantly I want you to work hard at keeping to them.

If we start 2009 with the mind-set of achieving everything we state, everything we desire then that is a great head-start in this unstable world economy.

I have set myself some goals, I am going to read more. I am going to achieve more. I am going to not only survive 2009 but I am going to use it as my platform for super success. I believe that I will do that simply because I've stated it and truly believe it.

Of course that is not enough. I have to DO something about it too. Thinking alone never made anyone successful. It's the doing that counts. Making sure that you go out there and DO the things you said you would. Prove to yourself that you can keep your word and you WILL reap the incredible rewards.

Maybe you think it could be too hard, too tough with all that's going on in your life. Well, as you know I am going to be reviewing some resources throughout the year that Tess got me for Christmas (I'll be posting a full list of them tomorrow) - here is the very first resource:

Gary Ryan Blaire is known as The Goals Guy. He is focused on allowing people to realise their goals and commit to success. He has a new programme called Got Resolutions which focuses on making sure that you keep to your resolutions for 2009 - and we know it's damn important right now more than ever. I don't want to give too much away but it's called Got Resolutions and it's ready now. What I can tell you is...

The program reveals the secrets to a step-by-step system for turning your Resolutions into reality. It actually explains how to attract and create the life you want in complete detail. NOTHING is left out.

You see, Gary is a master at strategic planning. He has taken some of the most sophisticated success strategies and distilled them down into an easy-to-use-system that really works.

Don't just take my word for it, here's what Best-Selling Author Brian Tracy has to say;

"Got Resolutions? is a serious program for serious people, who want to make serious and immediate change in their lives. There is no better way to start the year, and Gary Ryan Blair will show you how to finally turn your Resolutions into reality!"

I encourage you to take a look at the "Got Resolutions?" program and prepare to be excited and amazed!

I'd love your comments and reviews on this programme. If it is something that interests you please click here for more information.

Tomorrow I'll unveil the list of things that I will be reviewing over the coming weeks and months.

Ho ho ho, a Merry Christmas to you! I have something very special aboard my sleigh for you.

For Christmas Tess is buying me a towering amount of books, audio-books and other things related to therapy, marketing, self-help and motivation. This is great news for a whole bunch of reasons:

1. I will learn so much from them I am sure.
2. I will be passing information from these resources on to you throughout the year right here on this blog.
3. I will review each resource as and when I wade my way through it in full right here. That means you will be able to experience the whole thing with me right here, and if you find the review is encouraging or relevant to you then of course you can go ahead and get it. More importantly if you'd considered the thing before and after reading my thoughts and feelings on it you decide it's not for you then you can keep that £££ in your pocket!

Now - they won't be in my mits until Christmas Day so I have no idea what is in store for us just yet. However the day following boxing day I will post a full list of them here so that you can look forward to the reviews and even pick out the ones you want to watch out for in particular.

2009 is going to have even more in store for us and will include a REGULAR newsletter as well as a whole truck-load of other exciting features which will be exclusive to you right here. As soon as they are confirmed I will let you know every minute detail of what I have been planning now for 3 months.
