Surely not! It’s actually why we decided to call ourselves Action Podcast, because at the route of all your dreams is the simple choice that you have to make, do you take ACTION? A goal with out action is just a day dream, a flight of fancy that doesn’t amount to anything, but just by taking that first step you are on your way. Find out more in this podcast with Gina and Paul and the muse over a famous quote from Henry Ford “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do”.

C.H.A.N.G.E. The final frontier… The big C-word is an inevitable part of life, but something most of us resist on a daily basis. We like to think we’re flexible, that we can always ‘go with the flow’. But instead, many of us simply tie ourselves even tighter to our mast of familiarity.
Find something you’re scared of, and 9 times out of 10 it involves some kind of change in your life: new job, new relationship, new hair colour, new house, new school, new teacher, new country, new car! The list is endless.
So why do we resist? And how can we overcome the fear of change? Or rather, do we really have to?

Just before our most recent podcast, Paul and I spoke together about the power of simply being in the moment. Of literally smelling the roses, coffee and whatever else turns you on. Of just looking around at all the things in our lives that we were thankful for. It stopped me dead in my tracks. Even more so when I tried an exercise he’d done himself to reinforce and connect with gratitude. When he described it to me, I can honestly say I had a moment of epiphany. It seemed so simple, yet so incredibly powerful, so I’d like to share it with you now:
Just take a sheet of A4 paper, and write the word ‘thank you’ over and over again… until a name comes up. Then keep writing again, ‘thank you’ over and over. Until more names come up. Like me, you’ll probably be quite surprised at the names on the list. You may find other words arise, not just names. That’s perfectly okay. Whatever messages you receive from your subconscious are very powerful, so own them all.
Then take some time out to just reflect on all the great things you have in your life. It could be good health, family, your children, a great job, getting fired from a job you loathed, being in a great relationship, or finally leaving a toxic one. Whatever you have to be grateful for, I can guarantee if you take just 5 or 10 minutes each day to remind yourself of all these wonderful people and situations, you’ll feel far more at peace with yourself – and the world around you.
The book Paul mentioned in this podcast is Moon Over Water

Ever get the feeling that you seem to be putting a lot of effort in but don’t really seem to be getting the results out? Maybe you just need a break, some time out to relax and allow yourself to have some fun. Paul and Gina talk about how being too focused on one thing can actually be counter productive and a simple break can result in some refreshing ideas and results that just pure hard work can cause you to over look.

Do you have a big event coming up? Have you spent more time worrying about it than actually planning for it? Paul and Gina talk about two real life examples where clients have come to them with some major event that was looming up on them. They discuss how to work through the planning process and dealing with the situation if things don’t quite go to plan.

Paul and Gina discuss the fine art of accessing and using your intuition. Do you often have a gut feeling to do something, a calling perhaps? Do you follow it through with action, or just ignore it? Using your intuition as a way to finding solutions to current issues can bring greater meaning and clarity to your life. Simply ask yourself: “What do I love?” and you will hear your intuition speak. It’s a simple as that! Your intuition speaks the truth. Follow your intuition, instead of your rational mind, and you’ll be much happier.

Paul talks to Gina about his recent time away relaxing and ponders on why we feel the need to earn the right to treat ourselves. It’s great to celebrate our achievements but getting through each day is often cause enough to treat yourself.

Creating rapport
Other people are our greatest resource. Most everything you’ll ever want in life, you’ll need someone else to help you get it. From dry-cleaning to a promotion. From the fine art of sexual conjoinment, to that convertible you’ve been coveting. It takes (more than) two to tango. You can’t do it all alone. The benefits of creating and maintaining rapport with other human beings are enormous, so unless you’re a natural, it’s an essential skill worth learning.
