When I was studying an online business course recently, I was asked what my USP was. This is the one thing about me that singles out my work from all the other work that’s out there in the public eye. In other words, how do I grab the attention of prospective clients and encourage them to do MY mentoring course?

I thought for a while, as it’s a big question, then I realised that my USP is timing.

My understanding of planetary movements and cycles can assist a client to have a clear overview of what is in front of them and when the best times for pushing ahead and pulling back are likely to be.  So, I can say, as I did yesterday, to a client - by a certain time of this/next month etc, you will be able to take advantage of the astronomical “weather” to launch your latest project; and these are the times when you are likely to be pushed and challenged, or when you will experience resistance from the outside world to your ideas - in other words, the best times to take a holiday.

If a client wants relationship, self-development or career mentoring, then together we can explore and reveal their expectations, gifts, talents, passions and needs by examining their birth chart and working with whatever comes up as a result.

I find that working at this in-depth level with a client is so rewarding and ultimately power giving to them that I would suggest that what I can offer is truly “Unique”.

Available Sessions:

Three new spaces for the Mentoring Program will become available starting on 25th August, 2008.

I will need your birth data - i.e. time, date and place to fulfill my USP - as described above.

The fee per session is £40 GB or equivalent, See payment instructions here

We initially start with 6 sessions and work on the phone and back up with email contact. You will receive a copy of my Mentoring Program e-Book.

I am in the process of putting my Mentoring Program into an email format, so that you can study with me without having to rely on appointments on the phone. They will still consist of 6 initial lessons with an option for further work with me later.

These lessons will not replace my personal telephone sessions - you can still chose that option if you wish - it is really to facilitate ease for those of you outside of the UK or Europe.

This is a question that everyone first asks when they look at affirmations. They say - how can they work - they’re only words? They say - it’s all just positive thinking for the chattering classes - rubbish! To be honest, I’ve heard them all and more - some too rude to write down here for your tender eyes.

So, let’s start by ascertaining what an Affirmation really is. The Concise Oxford Dictionary says: a statement of fact; a strong assertion. (Note the word “strong”, there). It is also a legal statement for those who do not wish to make a religious declaration in court, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. It seems that ANY statement we make strongly about ourselves as if it were true is an affirmation - and nowhere does the definition mention positive thinking!

This article offers a way of achieving complete freedom from the grind of failing relationships. In fact, what is going to be written here should be taught from the moment we come into the world until the day we leave it.There are many different kinds of relationships - there are friendships, acquaintances, neighbours, colleagues, parents and children; and, of course, the biggie - life partners, whether married, live-in, or even, divorced. Then we have relationships with the people who run our services, such as supermarket cashiers, staff, utility workers, medical practitioners and dentists. We even have relationships with our cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and other pets.  

And in every single one of those relationships described above, we have expectations from them and of them. In other words we expect them to behave in a certain way, and when they don’t, as inevitably they won’t, we are disappointed and blame them. The result being that the relationship becomes an unhappy one.

A couple of weeks ago I launched my Mentoring Program and everyone said “eh?” - that’s a direct quote by the way. Then they said - “ooh sounds way too scary - what is it and what will you do to me?”

So, this post is to answer those very British questions. 

And, first of all, I do nothing to you at all. I do very little - it’s you who does the work - I simply mentor. I act as a mirror - that’s what mentor means, by the way - to show.

We all, including me (or even especially me!!) have inner voices that swim beneath the surface in the undertow of our unconscious mind, drip feeding the old self-defeating statements that have been there for what seems like forever. They are designed to keep us less than we could be, helpless and dumb. Such statements always have their roots in childhood - things that the kids at school sniggered at us, out of their own insecurities; things that parents and siblings said, often unthinkingly, though not always. We took them as gospel and believed that they said something about our intrinsic value as individuals. And guess what - they said nothing about who we were then or who we are now. And yet, the voices go on unheard and powerful, keeping us hooked in.
