I was loaned “Cirque du Soleil The Spark; Igniting the Creative Fire that Lives Within Us All By Lyn Heward and John U Bacon” by a friend who is a trained psychologist but who works in “quality systems” for many international clients. Her “introduction” was; “I give a copy of this book to all my key client contacts – it’s never failed to provide a powerful message about what I will be working with them to achieve”.

The ability to set goals and the motivation to do what it takes to achieve them is the mark of a truly successful person. Without a goal a person can become disempowered with no sense of purpose and no control over their lives or their destiny.

What with the recession, job losses, house prices plummeting, budgets being cut, you’re still in one piece- right? If you are heading off on a well deserved summer break with your family or friends , it’s an excellent time to reflect on the goals you set yourself at the beginning of the year. So how are things going? Are you on track, or nowhere to be seen!

Let’s face it, there is so much stuff out there on the subject of personal development. Books of all shades adorn shelf after shelf in our national book stores. That’s before we consider online sales, and all the self-published work out there.
