Hi ~Contact.FirstName~,
There's not much pre-amble from me this week, as last night I was 'painting the town red' during my annual Christmas party, with my lovely patner Kate and with a few of my closest business associates and their partners... So now for the first time in a long time this morning, I seem to be nursing a very 'delicate head' ... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the red wine...
Why tell you this? Well I guess because it's important to rememeber that every once in a while you should reward both yourself and all the people that help you in your entrepreneurial activities for all the hard work put in over the previous months. Give yourselves a break, treat and spoil yourself rotten... recharge your batteries (especially during the Christmas period). Rememeber to say Thank you. Properly.
Yesterday we all took the afternoon off to get ready and be taken to London for a dinner and private concert featuring Daniel and Natasha Beddingfield together with Leona Lewis and Joss Stone - All part of the Awards Night for Global Angels, which is a charity which I have recently decided to become involved with (see: http://www.globalangels.org)
No matter how large or how small, make sure you let the people you work closely with, know that you appreciate them.
Until next time

A very quick thought for today, but one that can make a big difference to you.
When you make your to-do list for this week (please say that you ARE going to make one!) add an extra column on the side.
This column is the one for other people to do.
One of the hardest success secrets to learn is that nobody gets there all on their own. The people at the top of the tree got there because they learned that some things are best done by them, and some things aren't.
You 'they-do' column is where you put all the jobs that can and should be delegated. Don't beat yourself up about it. If it can be efficiently passed on, do it without guilt.
By writing it down in your 'they-do' column you achieve two things: you make the act of delegation official in your mind, and you provide yourself with a reminder of who is now responsible, and when by. You are now not responsible for the doing, but you ARE responsible for checking that it is done, and done well.
A good delegator is not an abdicator. You are not simply moving things off of your desk for the sake of it. Your role should be to facilitate that the work gets done by the most efficient means.
Your 'they-do' list is a very powerful tool. Use it.

Do you have limiting beliefs?
Of course you do! We all do. And almost every one is false.
Successful people always assume they CAN do something and then set out to prove it.
Everybody else assumes they CAN'T do something and then set out to prove it.
Just for today, put your limiting beliefs to one side. Let your mind do a 180-degree flip and see the world through the eyes of a super-success.
I have a saying in my seminars:
"Can you learn to learn you can?"
Try saying that backwards and you'll get the idea.

My favorite fruit is the banana, and I have always been fascinated to see great columns of them growing on their huge palm-like trees.
So it has come as a shock to learn that I've been wrong all these years:
Bananas are not fruits - they are berries.
Banana trees are not trees - they are the world's largest herb, closely related to the lily.

Richard Wiseman, in his book 'Did You Spot the Gorilla' (a highly recommended paperback about research into luck) tells a great story.
He ran an experiment where he asked people to sit down with a newspaper and count the number of photographs inside.
Half way through the paper was a half-page ad that said in big type, 'Win £100 by telling the experimenter that you have seen this.'
Previous to the 'experiment' all the subjects had been asked to rate themselves on a luckiness scale.
Most of the people who thought themselves lucky spotted the ad and won the money.
Most of the people who felt unlucky didn't see the ad.
Their conclusion is that both groups had the same opportunity, but the unlucky ones were focused on the task in hand so much that they could see opportunity when it was staring them in the face. The lucky people, even though they still managed to count photographs perfectly well, maintained a wider vision that allowed them to grab at unexpected chances.
My conclusion is this:
'If you want to get lucky, take off your blindfold.'
