positivity, fitness & business emails

Last week was a bit of a revelation.

 

I ummed and ahhed about letting Morty loose in the hallowed C2GO newsletter again, you see, me & Morty have “enjoyed” an up & down relationship over the 10 years we’ve been friends, (maybe Ill tell you all about our turbulent years in another email or maybe he will!) but my goodness as soon as I let that email go it was like an avalanche!

 

Both of us fielded emails & tweets & FB messages all day  PLUS with my own daily emails It’s been like my mailing list  all woke up at once and got in touch.

 

I LOVE it.

 

Joking aside I have received so many beautiful emails  and I’m so glad so many of you are enjoying and responding to the daily positivity. It means SO MUCH and I care very much what you all think and how you are all doing.

 

This weeks newsletter sees another 30 or so Top Tips from Morty. I’ve not edited it, so he’s all laid naked and bare, there is a  smattering of profanity and hope it doesn’t offend!

 

We also have the trailblazer that is Jo De Rosa and I have been promising Jo I will go and take time out and visit her in her beautiful retreat very soon. I’ll let you know the dates if anyone wants to join us for a couple of days mid week for a chill out you are more than welcome.

Make It Happen SEMINAR with ME!

 

This is the seminar I nearly didn’t do……. UNTIL recently.

I’ve been working so hard and at such intensity on KSFL that

KSFL, Nutrition, Fatloss, Detox has been all I could think about.

Then I did a “Celebrate and Reflect” exercise  and I realised over

the last 12 month how much had changed.

 

How much I have changed.

How my mindset has changed, my daily routines,

my priorities & where I think the industry is going.

I can feel a new conversation needs to be had.

Many of us have moved into a new era with meditation,

positive thinking, shift in perception, intentions

all these things I have dabbled in over the last 20

years but now its part of my daily life,

I’m super committed, its like training,

like teaching and building my business and

I’m excited to tell you what a difference this has made.

 

My business has grown beyond where I thought it could go

and I’ve got so many tips, ideas and strategies that

I know YOU can implement in your business and personal life.

 

If you are feeling this new direction and you are

ready to move

ahead again come and join me.

 

I’ll be covering positivity, law of attraction,

changing your thinking

plus building your platform to reach more and

more people online

and for the first time I’ll be looking how you

can make more money

in fitness. A topic I’ve shyed away from in the past.

 

Its going to be a seminar like I’ve never given PLUS

I’m only doing it on one day 10th May at the Hilton Hotel

East Midlands Airport right by J24 of the M1

81. You can’t help everybody… and you

shouldn’t even try.

 

82. If I can’t find you in google, I’ll take

my money elsewhere

 

83. Facebook is where people go to avoid

making decisions, Google is where people go

to make decision.

 

84: Discounts are the fastest way to devalue

what you do.

 

85: Your email list holds INCREDIBLE power.

can’t afford it. they’re just telling you

that.

they dont value what you offer as much as

they did.

 

90: Beauty Therapists are FULLY booked in my

town. Proof theres money everywhere.

 

91: Zumba has disappeared from my home town.

program is if no-one can follow it.

ironing. You don’t need to hire a trainer.

should be the LAST thing that you do/

 

95: Trainers will break your heart.

 

96: If you wont invest in coaching, people

wont invest in you.

 

97: “Manning up” when you’re training is all

well and good, its manning up in business you

need to do.

 

98: Flyers and Leaflets DO work.. you’re just

doing them wrong.

 

99: The confused mind can’t make a decision.

Bare this in minda when you tell me how many

things you ‘specialise’ in.

 

100: Filling you ego and filling your bank

account are 2 completely different things.

 

101: Public speaking is INCREDIBLE for

positioning.

 

102: Having the courage to be yourself 100%

of the time, will change your life.

 

103: The moment you accept personal

responsibilty for where your income is right

now, is the moment things will change

dramatically.

 

104: Worrying what people think of you will

cripple your chances of success.

 

105: If you’re fully booked for 12 hours a

day. Raise your prices.

 

106: If you’re attracting clients that are a

pain in the ass. Raise your prices.

everyone would wear clothes from primark and

eat smart price meals.

 

108: I can steal most of your clients,

because I’m better at marketing than you. Get

better at it.

 

109: Marketing is the reason that poor

trainers can earn more than brilliant ones

 

110″ Stop celebrating 7 day weeks and 14 hour

days likes it some kind of trophy. Its not..

 

111: Negativity is great. Use it as fuel to

light you fire.

 

112: There isn’t much to be gained by proving

someone wrong.

 

113: There is nothing that says ‘too much

time, not enough clients’ like arguing about

nutrition over the internet.

you’ll struggle to reach your income

potential

 

115: Unsubcribes are GOOD.

 

116: Telling your clients that the magic

than it needs to be.

industry. Study marketing and you will.

ALWAYS cheaper.

 

124: Completely ingoring people that talk

shit about you and try to wind you up..

drives them INSANE.

dangerous words in the english language.

you or what you have to say. Get over it.

other things to do

Giving Yourself A Reference Point

by Jo De Rosa

 

 

We had a holiday last week. But let me be clear, our ‘holiday’ had no beach in sight….only an absence of customers!  We decided to take no bookings for a week seeing as our retreat centre/hotel has now been open 5 months and in that time we have worked flat out.

 

Holidaying in Your Own Luxury Holistic Hotel

Not wanting to leave the business yet to have a holiday abroad, we decided that we would sleep in each of our guest rooms seeing as we have not done that in the 7 months we’ve lived here.

 

And how interesting!

What lovely rooms we offer!

 

We started off in our ‘Small Deluxe’ room, which is actually not small at all, and holidayed all week ending up in the ‘Large Deluxe’ which is actually more like an apartment and husband and I wondered why we didn’t take this room as our own when we moved in 😉

 

What lucky customers we have!

No wonder they have smiles on their faces when they come down for meditation and breakfast in the mornings!

 

Venturing Outside Our Bubble

When you live in a luxurious boutique hotel you don’t need to get out much, but

towards the end of the week we travelled into Central London for a networking event. We booked ourselves in to the hotel in Marble Arch where the event was being held, and paid nearly £250 for a room. Obviously we held high expectations for our one night stay paying that sort of money, and how interesting the experience was!

The room was nice, but we are now hoteliers! And what that does is take the innocence of staying in a 4 star (and above) hotel away…..forever.

We quickly realised that we have become hotel critics.

Our towels are softer, our bathrobes fluffier, our bathrooms cleaner, our beds comfier, and we have no annoying air conditioning that keeps you awake all night. All of that, and then the noise of being in Central London and a large hotel with so many other bodies crammed in.

 

The Penny Clicks

And then it stuck us, as we sat in a huge windowless basement dining room with 250 others for breakfast, HOW GOOD WE ARE.

Sometimes it takes us going outside of our comfort zone to put the pieces together and truly GET how far we’ve come.

This Central London hotel had given us the perfect reference point!

 

Finding Your Passion

My husband Dominic and I are absolutely 100% living our dream. We LOVE what we do, and what we offer at Inner Guidance. We give ourselves 100% to our guests delivering to them over and above what they expect. We have both found our PASSION: Dominic in the kitchen creating healthy, clean food in an exciting and educational way (he made raw chocolate and banana ice cream in front of our guests last night to show them how simple it is), and me in my yoga, meditation, and mentoring capacity.

 

Life Becomes EASY!

When you live your life from this place of passion and love for what you do, everyday is fun. We get confused what the day is because it doesn’t matter anymore -because everyday is filled with doing what we love.

 

I see posts on Facebook about ‘thank god it’s Friday’, ‘I hate Mondays’ etc…. and feel sad for those people, that they haven’t yet found their passion. Yes it’s nice to have a day off and have a duvet day now and again, but when I have those I am raring to go even more than before!! Whether that is a Monday, Thursday or Sunday.

 

Find Clarity By Giving Yourself Some Space

….and find out what IS your passion. If it’s not what you are currently doing then CHANGE IT, come and spend a night or two at our Holistic Hotel and get some clarity.

 

In your next meditation begin by asking the question, “IF I COULD DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?”, and then let the question and any potential answer go……

What you will find is that the answer will come to you in the coming hours, days and weeks in the form of a conversation you (are meant to) overhear, a book that you (are destined to) start to read, or a TV program that you (are supposed to) turn over to.

 

The answers are everywhere….IF WE ONLY HAVE OUR EYES OPEN to them. Meditation and being in that calm, connected space will help us to see.

 

And I can truthfully say that there is no other place that I’d rather be in the world right now, than right here in my own dining room with the open fire roaring next to me as I write this, guests upstairs happy in their fluffy robes and luxurious rooms, and husband clanking around in the kitchen making our next culinary delight x

 

We hope to welcome you soon to Inner Guidance Holistic Retreat Centre and Hotel, share our knowledge, and help you uncover your true purpose in life….

Ps. We are currently offering a 50% discount on hotel stays meaning you pay just £75 per night (for 1 or 2 people) in an en suite room, to include morning meditation and a full healthy breakfast!!
