“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

Henry David Thoreau

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

JST 150 – Having The Courage to Ask for What You Want

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

“If you wish to understand control, think of a little child that is given a taste for drugs.
As the drugs penetrate the body of the child, it becomes addicted; its whole being cries out for the drug.
To be without the drug is so unbearable a torment that it seems preferable to die. Think of that image –
the body has gotten addicted to the drug. Now this is exactly what your society did to you when you were born.
You were not allowed to enjoy the solid, nutritious food of life namely, work, play, fun, laughter,
the company of people, the pleasures of the senses and the mind.
You were given a taste for the drug called approval, appreciation, attention.”
Anthony de Mello

“How would your world start to change if you were willing to ask for what you want?” It turns out that if you’re willing to ask for what you want, new possibilities emerge, and you may be surprised at how often you get what you’ve asked for. You may discover that it’s easier to get what you want than you may ever have suspected. In this article, we’re going to explore the power of asking for what you want. Read More →

NB The next three weeks’ professional practice multipliers are focused around what I call leverage: your commercial transformation. This is important because most of us have been educated for a world of jobs and employment. We haven’t necessarily learnt the key elements you need if you want to run your own practice and work for yourself. If impact is about what people pay you for, leverage is about how you get paid, how you get scale and how you multiply your impact in a variety of ways. Read More →
