Hello {!name_fix},

Can you honestly look back over the last 12 months and tell me that you know where all the time went? I know I can't... and that is one of the words I usually ban! However looking back over the last 12 months, I hope that you will feel a sense of achievement—even in the little things—and really see how far you have travelled forward in realising a lot of the goals you mapped out for yourself this time last year.

I thought you might like to see a picture of my grandson fulfilling one of his ambitions. This picture was taken a couple of weekends ago, when he finally managed to spend his birthday gift from Albert and me—his birthday is in April, and he's a very busy chap!

Here he is enjoying his day of falconry, and I really hope you can see not only his pleasure, but also excitement and amazement at the grace and size of this magnificent falcon with whom he had the pleasure of working. He suggested to me that an actual falcon might be welcome as a Christmas present, however his parents weren't too keen. :(

I'm hoping that this will inspire you to reach out and fulfill your own dreams. A dream will remain just that until you put a date on it, and then it transfers across and becomes one of your goals. Remember to take action, and set yourself up now by laying out your goals, desires and dreams and discover how you are going to achieve them by making a plan that you can easily implement... it would be my honour to help you with this, whilst also learning how you can make a real difference in the world.

For now, I would like to remind you that you have the opportunity of a free 30-minute consultation with me to discuss where you are in your life, what problems you may be facing and discover what your solutions are. Please remember to click on my Skype link or email me (susie@susiebriscoe.com) to schedule a time.

Let me know your thoughts, but for now, sit back, favourite mug of hot drink in hand, and settle down for a comfortable chat with a friend.

Loving hugs,

Get Rid of Procrastination, Now!
by Susie Briscoe

With all the New Year Resolutions you may be planning, I thought this would be a helpful thing for us to look at today... so I'm hoping that you'll agree. For me, it's always timely to just take stock at this time of the year, and I'm wondering how many of these 'issues' you will identify with. Well now is the time, as the walrus famously said!

Do you put off your work for later, only to find your deadlines steadily creeping in? Then you, my friend, are one of the millions of people afflicted by the procrastination virus. Procrastination is the biggest reason for loss of productivity and late output. Though many would not admit it, they would benefit greatly if they start their work on time.

For many people, putting off their work for later is more habit than desire. It can be so hard to get into a groove where starting your tasks in a timely fashion is a priority, especially if the consequences for being late are things that one can probably bear.

If you are one of these people, yet you desire to shake off your propensity for procrastination, then you have come to the right place. Here are a few tips to help you overcome this dilemma and become a more productive and reliable person.

1. Set Schedules. It is very important that you have a list of activities to accomplish per day. This will help you realistically budget your time and resources. One of the cardinal sins people commit in regards to performing their tasks is to put off their work because they feel like there is so much time left. A journal, organizer, or calendar of events will help you plan and schedule your task so that you can start them promptly and finish them on time.

2. Save The Vacation For Later. Many people put their work off for later saying, "I'll just have a little fun then buckle down to work later." While it may be true that they may have more than enough time to accomplish their tasks, it would be better if they finished their work first and relax afterwards.

Wouldn't relaxation be sweeter if it were after a taxing job? If you choose to lay back and relax before doing your tasks, you will be more prone to burnout and will have nothing exciting left to look forward to after accomplishing a task. It is always better to have slack period AFTER a job than before one, especially considering that people are wont to overusing their slack time. This is suicide if you are heading towards a deadline.

3. Never Underestimate Your Tasks. Sometimes procrastination sets in because people underestimate the resources, difficulty, and time spent for a particular task. They will usually say, "It's just mowing the lawn, it's easy; I could do it in a jiffy." The problem is, no matter how trivial the task, it still takes time and resources to accomplish. If you underestimate a task, you will most likely set too little time to do it and schedule it too close to its deadline.

4. Don't Allow Yourself To Get Comfortable Doing Nothing. It would definitely help if you kept a subconscious alarm whenever you are doing nothing. Get this alarm to remind you of things that may need to be done. This will help you foster the notion that jobs accomplished now means more time for relaxation later. However, even if this is the case, do not forget to put ample time in for rest and to remove all thoughts of troubles before hitting the sack. The trick here, however, is not to overdo you rest. There is a difference between resting and idling. Always set the right amount of time for rest and stick to that schedule.

This is where I share my best mentors & resources with you; please take the time to look at each of these suggestions, as I personally find them all to be extremely helpful in my business life...

I know that I'm repeating myself here, however this offer is just too good to be missed and I'm hoping that you will definitely take advantage of Neil's generosity and buy before the price goes up... and remember if you do, we will be doing this together. I have already benefited from working with Neil:

My good friend and colleague Neil Dougan, The Immortality Coach, is based in Perth, Western Australia—like me, he has clients all around the world—and I can highly recommend him, as he has been helping me with my own health issues recently using his powerful Consciousness Medicine technique. Neil has been telling me about a new programme he intends to launch in the New Year, which is focusing on just one aspect of his practice: healthy lifestyle eating and keeping fit.

As a special treat for you, he has agreed to show this programme, just prior to the launch whilst it's in its beta stage. The two links below will give you all the information about it together with its pre-launch early bird price.

Given that it's the festive season, and we are all partying and celebrating hard, I highly recommend you take a look at his Trim © programme.

This is the message from Neil:

"After two years of intensive development, I am so excited to be able to offer to you today the full Trim 18-week programme. Act quickly to pick up this 18-week integrated programme that will literally change your life on so many levels.

Launch video is here.
Access to TRIM is here.

Entry pricing will not last, so Act Now. I look forward to seeing you in the members area."

Giving Back... Contribution is such an important part of our lives these days, whether at a local community, an individual or a global level.

Charity Begins Where Interest Ends
Music: Fugue in F# major.
By Dimitri Shostakovich. Sequenced by J. Marques.

Charity begins where interest ends,
Having little interest but in giving,
Removing self from self, that there be space
In which a much-loved guest might feel at home.

So might one find delight, though ravens rend
The unembroidered fabric of one's being:
Miracle of unrequited grace,
A wave of wonder welling up from stone,
Singing as it breaks of selfless grieving.

I bought the 1-on-1 coaching (16 sessions) this morning. I'm so excited to be working with you! :)

Me too, Gyoa! Ideal time to start at the beginning of the year with all your resolutions ready to be made!!

My favourite Martha Graham quote... I just LOVE it!

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.

And another just because it's the end of the year and the beginning of 2015 is just around the corner!

"No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times."

- Martha Graham

Martha Graham Choreographer (1894-1991). She is considered by many to be the 20th century's most important dancer and the mother of modern dance.

Martha Graham was born in Allegheny (now Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, on May 11, 1894. As a child, she was influenced by her father, a doctor who used physical movement to remedy nervous disorders. Throughout her teens, Graham studied dance in Los Angeles at Denishawn. In 1926, she established her own dance company in New York City. She danced into her 60s and choreographed until her death in 1991, leaving the dance world forever changed.

Susie Briscoe has devoted nearly a decade of her professional life to achieving excellence in entrepreneurship. She now brings her years of hands-on experience to help struggling business owners breakthrough their own blocks and overcome their personal gremlins to become the success that they know they are meant to be.

Susie has identified 'Leading Legacy' work as a major part of her passion. This is about filling the gap; working with people who still have an empty feeling inside themselves for whatever reason, and finding a way to give back to the world whilst recognising the importance of not wasting time as the clock continues to tick...

With her signature spirited style, 'can do' energy and exceptional skills as a catalyst and educator, Susie is without question the go-to-girl for guidance on overcoming disadvantages and finding 'silver lining rainbow solutions' within any grey clouds. Since 2004, Susie regularly meets and speaks with clients from around the world to educate and inspire them to bring money and meaning into their business and personal life, showing how to overcome any individual hurdles along the way.

She has successful experience of working with all ages, from teenagers in their senior year at school or technical colleges approaching University and other life choices to those either retired or approaching retirement who recognise there is still music yet to be played within them.
