It's fifteen years since I ran my first Personal Development Workshop - and sixteen years working for myself is fast approaching. In all those years I've met hundreds of people who wanted, for one reason or another, to change their lives. Some had reached a crossroads in their career, some were suffering from the proverbial mid-life crisis, some had serious (and incorrect) doubts about their own capabilities but many simply wanted more out of life.

And the bizarre thing was that, even though they were seeking this extra 'something' from life, they had, for most of their adult lives, continued to do the same things, day in, day out. Their lives were largely repetitive and routine - as our subconscious mind dictates they should be! What's bizarre about it is that they were becoming frustrated because things weren't moving forward in their lives, their lives weren't changing.

Isn't it obvious that, only a fool would expect something new to happen if they keep on doing the same thing? But, of course, we're all fools - psychology proves that.

No - if you want your life to change you are going to have to do something different. And, believe it or not, something small will do! If you were to reverse the knife and fork in your hand next time you have a meal or if you were to tie your laces the 'other way around' you will 'depotentiate' your mind - it won't know whether it's coming or going!

And that means that you - deliberately and consciously - will be able, for perhaps the first time in your adult life, to dictate your chosen direction to your subconscious mind - not the other way around as has been the case.

All the greatest of journeys start with the tiniest of steps - take some tiny steps today.
