Success Story:
I fell into the Personal Development industry approximately
2.5 years ago (things always happen for a reason) at
which time I was offered to do a number of programs
promoted by a personal and professional development
company I had been offered a marketing position with.
I gained a huge amount from a variety of different trainers
but the really life changing training that I undertook
was with Chris Howard at Christopher Howard Events doing Breakthrough
to Success, and then on to do the NLP Results (Level
1).
Up until 6 months ago I was working full-time for other
companies always having the dream to start my own Marketing
Consultancy but never taking the leap from full-time
employment. A good friend spoke to me before I started
NLP Results and said that my whole life would change
after that training. So off I went, in July 2004, to
complete my training and I put some huge goals in my
future that all related back to my business being created,
having a strong client base by February 2005 and having
more time to develop a family with my new husband. I
came out of that training with invaluable life and business
tools, and the drive to start my own business.
3-4 months later I had resigned from my full-time position
and had 2 clients that had been referred to me from
my network that had built over the years. Now, I have
5 different large clients with a client base that continues
to grow through referrals. I am loving the variety and
control I have over my career and time, always being
offered opportunities and challenging roles that push
my limits.

My life shifts:
- Own and run a successful Marketing and Communications
Consultancy for approximately 6 months
- Doubled my income
- Control over my own time
- Work with fantastic clients
- Work with people who want to work with me
- Support my clients on another level, using NLP, looking
beyond what they would normally think about
My family relationships have moved to the next phase,
me being able to offer support on another level beyond
the norm…

NLP Favourites and Personal Tips: There
is alot of different tools that I use everyday of my life
but I would have to say that my favourite tool/technique
would be putting goals into my future timeline. This is
where I have seen huge results. A personal tip would be
that you always get what you focus on and if you are driven
to get what you want and put that goal out there…than
you will get it!

Fun Fact: I am 25 years old
and am an aunty of 16…who knows soon I could have 1 niece
or nephew for every year of my life!! Can't wait to teach
them all some cool techniques to use on bully's at school.
