Christmas 2008

My time in the rollercoaster world of Abu Dhabi has come to an end; but the travel hasn't stopped as i am soon off to the UK as well as the exotic destination of Morocco for some quality time with friends and family.  Next year is going to be even bigger than 2008, so a good time to refresh and refocus.

As part of the Christmas spirit, the focus of this newsletter is much lighter than the last "credit crunch" special and the Keys To Success Club Santa has a special gift for all non members which you can open now or save for Christmas Day.

Here at Keys To Success Club there is alot of focus on achievement and making use of your talents, however it is really important to take the time to appreciate the world we live in. There is nothing better than some real life experiences to increase your zest and energy for life.  And don't forget to keep your attitude to life "light" and not take everything too seriously; it is good to have fun and remember to laugh.

In the spirit of this theme, I shot some video of "Sculptures By The Sea"; it is a great spectacle that brings together all the great aspects of Sydney beach lifestyle; sun, surf, art and socialising.

 

And for a bit on the lighter side, enjoy this short clip called "dog at home"

 

In other news, we are finalising our expert panel for our personal development division and we have some great people in the mix including:

To your success.

For my special gift, please download the inspirational interview with Jospehine Thomson.  When someone is diagnosed with 6 months to live in their 20s and comes through the other side, you know there is going to be some interesting insight... 

Conquering Fear

At age 24, Josephine Thomson was diagnosed with cancer and was given six months to live. Forced to re-evaluate her life, she was successful in overcoming the ultimate fear, death, by beating her health illness and going on to have children that doctors said she would never have. In 2000, Josephine pursued a career in success coaching and within a few short years she became one of the most successful practitioners. In this downloadable chapter, Josephine reveals her beliefs about life, health, goals, attitude, fear and relaxation in this motivating story of achievement
