Here are some quotes that I
have crossed my path in the past 30 days;
“He who knows much about others may be learned, but
he who understands himself is more intelligent. He
who controls others may be powerful, but he who has
mastered himself is mightier still.” -
Lao-Tzu
“We can’t let our ego deter us from our goal”.
– The Da Vinci Code
“Stop chasing the mice inside your skull.”
– Avner, played by Eric Bana in the
film - Munich
“Every civilization finds it necessary to
negotiate compromises with its own values.”
– Golda Meir, played by Lynn Coehn in the film – Munich
The
final Personal Reflection is a photo of one of our
hanging baskets which is one of my off work
pastimes.
Enjoy
the read.

You know how some people who
run their own businesses know that they need to take
the time out to plan the future, but never seem to
find that time or, if they do, they don’t know
“where to start?”
Which means that they just show
up day after day, year after year, working as hard
as they can, but they never seem to make any
progress? And their business is running them, versus
them running their business? Does that sound
familiar?
In fact, sometimes they even
attend specialized workshops where they are shown
what to do, but even then they still don’t find the
time to do it?
Well in working with my
clients, I’ve come to recognize this problem, and I
am very excited to announce that we are presenting
our first ever coaching “annual retreat” to help 20
individuals prepare and plan for the best start to a
new year of business, that they have ever had.
The retreat will be held at, The
Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa from January 11th
– 15th, 2007. This is Vancouver Island’s
Premier Spa and Adventure Resort with awe inspiring
views, gourmet cuisine, and the fabulous Oceanside
Spa with the exclusive Pacific Mist Hydropath. The
location is secluded and the scenery is awe
inspiring and there will only be room for twenty
individuals.
The benefits of which are…
- A facilitated business and
personal planning retreat, working exclusively
with Simon and Laura Reilly on creating and
refining your 3 year vision for you and your
business.
- Taking the materials we
use in our first workshop, we will be working
with you to answer the “3 year question” – “If
we were meeting here, in January 2010 and
looking back over the last 36 months, what would
have to have happened both personally and
professionally for us to be happy with our
progress?”
- This will involve an
examination of your key professional and
personal goals together with a discussion of the
key roles that each of you intends to fulfill
during the period in question.
- We will translate that 3
year vision into a 12 month plan of action –
followed by a further translation into 90 day
goals.
- Our next step will be to
create a Time Management Plan and Calendar for
the Next 12 Months
- Our next step will be to
create the Financial Controls and a 12-month
Cash Flow Forecast leading to accurate and
realistic pricing and activity projections
- Our next step is to
“Breakthrough” all the limitations that have
stopped you in the past and show you a system
that will continue to Inspire you to meet and
exceed your vision and goals.
- Please note that we will
be continuing to refine the components of the
retreat right up until January so we will keep
you posted.
- The format will be
suitable for any business.
- With training in the
mornings, the afternoons are open to work on
your own material with me being on hand to
answer questions and provide you with additional
assistance, then working dinners to discuss
progress each day.
- Benefit to you – a focused
period of planning with one of Canada’s leading
business coaches on hand to guide you along the
way.
No more than 20 people in
attendance – travel to arrive Thursday evening,
leave Monday morning.
- The location is only 2 ½
hours from Vancouver by ferry via Horseshoe Bay
including the drive time. Or you can fly from
Vancouver Airport to Comox Airport, and we will
arrange to have you picked up at the airport and
driven to The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and
Spa.
- The environment is
inspirational – we have researched our location
carefully to ensure that the standard of
accommodation is superb, whilst allowing you to
“get away from it all” in comfort and in a
location that is truly beautiful.
No interruptions – emergency
contact with family and business – leave the “stuff”
behind and work together on your future plans.
In fact, we are going to make
sure that you have adequate time to spend “alone”,
implementing the ideas we discuss and creating the
finished product that you can take home on Monday.
Our suggested itinerary will
be:
- Thursday evening –
Greetings, introductions and welcome dinner
- Friday morning – coaching
on what has to be achieved and how to do it
- Friday afternoon – private
time (with Simon on hand if you need him)
- Friday evening – informal

Time
- Sunday evening – working

- Monday morning – final

Full board and lodging
provided – nothing for you to think about from when
you arrive to when you leave.
Take a look around the web site
for the location – it’s fabulous.
Daily activities – formal
coaching, outdoor leisure, spa treatments, and more
informal coaching in the evening.
- Be prepared to work hard
and have fun at the same time.
- You may find yourself
coaching at a dining table, having a massage,
working out in the gym, or walking along the
beach – whatever it takes to stimulate your mind
and energize you about the future.
Amazing company – Simon
Reilly “live and uncut”, Laura Reilly, PLUS you and
19 other people in business.
- Simon Reilly will be there
to make sure all of your questions can be
answered.
- Don’t underestimate the
benefit of working with 19 other people in
business who may have varied experiences that
they can share with you.

vision, 12-month plan and 90-day goals.

I’m taking the liberty to re-publish my May 11, 2006
Blog.
Today was a landmark day as Duncan Robinson & I
offered a brand new presentation to the Vancouver
audience at
Pro-Seminars.
Part of the focus of the presentation offered that
the Leading Advisor Coaching System can be used to
eliminate the blocks that advisors face when trying
to create a Vision, Brand, Niche and all the of the
pieces in between.
While I am not sponsored by TD Mutual Funds I drew
the audience’s attention to the
TD
Mutual Funds – The Advisors Guide To Business
Building – Volume 4
which is all
about Branding. The TD Mutual Funds Advisors Guides
To Business Building are excellent. A chapter of the
Volume 4 guide is entitled; What Is Your Storey?
“Storytelling is a primary means by which we convey
what we do, especially in financial services where
it's hard for purchasers and prospects to understand
precisely what it is that you do and the value of
what you do,”
says Harry Beckwith author of What Client’s Love.
The highlight of today’s presentation was a 7 minute
memorial video of Duncan Robinson’s son Michael that
included a 25 minute presentation on “What Is Your
Storey” by Duncan Robinson.
You could have heard a pin drop and you could also
hear grown men weeping as it was that powerful.
Michael legacy has provided Duncan the conviction to
do whatever it takes to make a difference in both
the lives of others and his own life. Duncan
received many acknowledgements and thanks for
reaching out and touching the audience to remind
them that their business is not about selling
products and that it is about building relationships
and making a difference.
It was great to hear from Tom Miller of Pro-Seminars
that our combined presentation really added value to
the day. Many thanks to Alex Nicholson of
Pro-Seminars at the same time.
Here are the written testimonials that we received:
Your presentation today was very pointed, you tell
it the way it is. The insights you share are
enlightening, and I can relate what you are saying,
to the struggles I am having within my business
today.
Your message is clear and delivered with conviction;
you are inspiring to listen to.
I get the feeling that you believe in your message,
and you have compelled me to fill out your feedback
form – something that I never do.
Listening to your presentation today, I have
realized that I need to refocus the direction of my
business. Thank you for the message!
Your presentation simply gets to the point.
You speak the truth and your honesty is so very
refreshing. I’m really looking forward to reading
your 12 Day E-Course.
Your theory behind Values & Unmet Needs is
fascinating. In one short hour, you have outlined
exactly what I am struggling with, it was like you
were reading my mind. But the best part was, you
have the answers.
Your energy is infectious.
Here is Duncan Robinson’s Model For Success
Click Here for
Duncan Robinson's Web Site.
• Total Commitment & Conviction: have both
commitment & conviction and strive to achieve your
dream goals. If you visualize them you will achieve
them. Decide to become more of that relationship
person, decide what’s important to you & your
legacy. Let the client see the persistence,
patience, your heart, and do anything attitude…..
• Accountability, to yourself, your family, and your
heart, lay out the plan and work an extra hour a
day…
• Life Strategy, is it firmly locked into your mind,
do you know what’s important. At the end of the day
it will matter the difference you make in a person’s
life.
• Exercise, your body & brain, and start a fitness
program, make it a lifestyle decision, and stay
committed to your plan. You’ll be amazed at the
results.
• Mindful of Others, give to the community, in time,
give as much as you can and expect nothing in
return.
• Comfort Zone, get out of it, stretch your
limitations, set lofty goals, for me it was breaking
the 3:00:00 marathon. Now it’s achieving Top of the
Table. Set your expectations higher than you can ask
or imagine and watch the results. Life is a test and
it is long…
• Reward Yourself: Holidays, self satisfaction,
being the person you’d like to be, happy & content,
and living life on purpose, with a purpose.
• Inspire 2 people each and every day.
• Put Passion into every thing you do.
• Poem, “God’s Lent Child”; this was passed onto me
just after Michael died and now I share it with
clients who have lost a child or a loved one.
• I’ve Learned there is nothing I’m able to do to
change what’s happen, except change what I can into
the future, that’s what I do now.
• Now Look around and discover the difference you
can make each and every day, in the work we do and
you’ll discover your gift. You all have gifts,
embrace the gift and you’ll experience a changed
person.
* GOD’S LENT CHILD*
“ I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine,
“ God said, “For you to love, the while he lives,
and mourn for when he ‘s dead”. It may be six
or seven years or forty- two or three; But will you,
till
I call him back, take care of him for me ?
He’ll bring his charm to gladden you and
(should his stay be brief) you'll have his
lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from
Earth must return. But there are
lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search
for teachers so true, and from the things that
crowd life's lane, I have chosen you.
Now, will you give him all your Love ?
Nor think the labor vain ? Nor hate me when I come
to take, this lent child back again ?
I fancied that I heard them say, “Dear Lord,
THY WILL BE DONE”.
For all the joys thy child will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love
him while we may and for the happiness
we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should thy angels call for him much sooner than
we've planned, we'll brave the bitter grief
that comes and try to understand.
