@font-face { font-family: "Arial"; }@font-face { font-family: "ＭＳ 明朝"; }@font-face { font-family: "ＭＳ 明朝"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; }.MsoChpDefault { font-family: Cambria; }div.WordSection1 { page: WordSection1; } I am a great believer in the maxim that everything happens for a greater reason, nothing is ever by chance.

For 15 years I was a professional therapist andI ran my own private practice very successfully. I suppose you could argue too successfully, because this was the main reason behind me moving into internet marketing. You see I was trading time for $$ and although I was earning lots of $$ I had no time to enjoy it. It’s a crazy situation where you have the money but no time to enjoy it. So, I learned to work smarter not harder and came to online marketing.

Now, you must understand something that is crucial to this story – and that is that I loved being a therapist and was very very good at it BUT if anyone had said to me WHY did I love it so much I would have struggled to give the answer. I knew I was good at it because I never needed to advertise and I had more clients than I could really cope with and everyday I was so happy to get to work. But, the core reason for doing what I do I could not articulate because ‘just being able to help people’ did not feel adequate.

Now, moving into internet marketing was a new challenge and yet again one I loved and still do love but if someone where to say to me WHY did I love this so much I would be able to answer. I loved the challenge of learning new skills, I loved being able to share these skills with others, I loved being able to use leverage to work smarter not harder and I loved having the time. I could explain and qualify WHY I loved my work. Again, I had found success.

Now fast forward to today, December 7th 2010. I was sitting working as I usually do and my phone rang. It was a lady I did not know and she was asking me if I was still a therapist because she wanted a Reiki treatment. I rarely do treatments these days and cannot remember the last time I did Reiki, but something made me say ok and I agreed to see her this evening – again a departure from my usual routine of giving someone an appointment a few days hence. So, when she arrived I did the consultation then settled her into the treatment and away we went.

But…..

After a few minutes……

Something amazing happened……..

You see by giving this treatment and by losing 'myself' into the energy of the treatment I actually became aware of 'why', why I do what I do

My 'WHY' is to enable others to rediscover who they truly are so that they can become what they truly deserve to be. By giving a treatment to someone I am not really doing anything – well that’s not quite correct but stick with me on this.

You see what I am doing is creating and holding the space for that person to process and clear their 'stuff'. They do this purely as a passive activity with their subconscious mind whilst their conscious mind is quietened and stilled. In fact the treatment is not the important part for the client (although it does a damn good job at stopping the chatter of the conscious mind), it is the creation of that time and space to clear and sort that is the most important part. This is why I also worked successfully with people with Feng Shui and dowsing because they all do the same thing deep down. This is why I never had to look for clients because subconsciously they were drawn to me.

It was by working very deeply on a physical/emotional/energetic level with my client tonight that allowed me to reconnect with my own purpose and why.

As I said earlier I can articulate why I love my internet marketing work so much easier but the core 'why' is exactly the same. Working with 'real' people is just like working with people over the internet where we provide mentoring and support and help with personal development.

I know from my own experience how vitally important it is to make that time for ourselves to discover who we are and why we are here I also know that very few people understand the importance of this and very few actually do it.

I also know that the ones who do this well are the 1% who succeed like no others because they have the clarity and vision to see exactly where they are going and why they are going there. These people act like a light attracting moths because they not only have what others want they have the secret to getting there and that is one of the most valuable skills you can ever have.
