Dear Cyril, There’s so much wrong with South Africa, you can’t possibly know where to start. There’s only one way out of your dilemma. You need to learn the technique of Dreaming Dreams. Here, I’ll teach you – But let’s just have a little chat first, to set the scene… If you try to prioritise your actions, you’ll find yourself trying to put out one fire while something else has to be left to burn. But so many of these fires are devastating and have to be tackled immediately. And how will you ever know whether…

You may have read my article on Mind Power and Essential Tremors in which I describe how, about 2 years ago, I cured my uncontrollable shaking hands using my mindpower techniques and thereby saved my medical aid the R1m that they had pre-authorised for a brain operation. I’ve now decided to cure my high frequency deafness the same way. It’s a well known fact that if you go public on something you intend to achieve, you increase your chances of success dramatically. So I’ve decided to challenge myself publicly to self cure my high frequency deafness (let’s call…

I have achieved the most amazing results with Mind Power. I have a condition called Essential Tremors (ET). This causes uncontrollable shaking. With some people it can be the head, with others the legs, often in the form of so called restless leg syndrome and in my case, shaking hands. Over the last ten years it has become progressively worse despite increasing dosage of chronic medication. Eventually it got to the point where I could not drink coffee with clients because I would have to use both hands to hold the cup and I could no longer read my own…

Quote of the month -“I just lower my expectations until I am pleased with my achievement” Where did that come from? No, it wasn’t Angie Motshekga, the ex-Minister of Basic Education! It was my response to my lovely wife, Helen, when she said something about me being so proud of my body (we train regularly) whereas she is never satisfied with her achievement. But really, I was only joking. The real me believes in aiming so high that I can never actually achieve what I aim for, but by striving for the impossible I almost invariably achieve the improbable. That’s…

We have formed about 1 000 companies since my partner packed her bags at the end of October 2014. That’s an average of over two per working day. Each of these represents someone’s dream. I know from their non-submission of tax returns and CIPC returns that the vast majority of the dreams turned to dust. Here’s my advice. 1) You must have a product/service that people already want. 2) You must be able to produce/deliver that product. 3) You must be able to market that product. 4) You must be able to sell that product at a price that is…

So you don’t believe in telepathy. Well, try this on for size. On Friday evening, my wife and I got to talking about our childhood (we don’t have television) and she couldn’t believe that I had never had a teddy bear. I was pretty sure that I hadn’t, but phoned my sister in the UK to confirm. She didn’t answer the call, but called me back the following morning. I jokingly told her why I had called her the previous evening. She confirmed that neither of us had a teddy bear when we were young, but that the reason she…

You may have read books on the power of the mind. There are plenty of them out there. Why? Because the mind is so powerful. Many years ago I coined an expression for one of my consulting techniques. I called it “Dreaming dreams”. It works. Like this – Forget about where you are at, ignore how you are going to achieve your goals, simply imagine you are already there. Picture the perfect business, lifestyle, golf shot or whatever it is you would like in life. Just one dream at a time – don’t make it too complicated. Focus on the detail, see it happening…

I wrote this post in early October 2014. At end October, my partner upped and left with practically all of our clients. so instead of being the best year of my business life, 2015 turned out to be one of the worst. Now read what I wrote – This is going to be one hell of an exciting year. Why? Because I said so! I’m going to shove my foot down hard on the gas pedal and our practice is going to grow like there’s no tomorrow. Year ended September 2013, growth 31% – fact. Year ended September 2014, growth…
