Live from the End of your Vision

Every great vision begins with a thought that first comes alone within our imagination. Outstanding Leaders know that to accomplish anything in life they must first expect it of themselves. Over the last four years I have been studying the work of Neville Goddard, and he passionately believes that to make your future vision a present fact, you have to assure the feeling that the vision fulfils. Living from the end means you call the things that don't exist yet and know that they are on there way. That sometimes calls us to live fearlessly and trust that all things are possible. So I have written down nine ideas, you can live from the end of your vision every day.

• Infinite patience produces results.
• Never allow the outside noise of people around you into your imagination.
• Make time every day to see and feel the vision completed.
• Communicate that vision to everyone in the company every day.
• Ignore anything that is not in alignment with the vision.
• Every night in the last 5 minutes before you sleep, fill your subconscious with thoughts of the vision completed.
• Know that the right people, the right help and whatever else is required to complete the vision is on its way.
• Being positive about your vision is not enough.  Be yourself, be real and know that your vision is part of your bigger purpose.
• Every day ask yourself what does it feel like to have completed the vision.
• By practising some of the above ideas you will retrain your subconscious mind and leave a lasting legacy in the world.

Outstanding Leaders get over Terror Barriers

I got a phone call in January 2012 from a business colleague, and friend asking me to attend a fitness boot camp with her in March. My reply to her was No, and why would I want to put myself through 7 days of torture...


Ten hours of exercise per day. There was silence at the other end of the phone, and then came the reply from her. "Molly, what a great excuse you are making, especially as you are the very person who goes into Organisations across the world and teaches people how to overcome excuses."


I was initially speechless and realised she was right.  I was being encouraged to step forth like never before and jump out of my comfort zone, so I agreed to go. We headed off to Devon in the 17th of March to Prestige Boot Camp. On the long car journey down we began to discuss our terror barriers and I realised mine were huge. The excuses that I had made since I was eleven years old, about strenuous exercise. However on this new journey I promised myself to keep an open mind no matter how tough the fitness training was. Every day we started at 7am and finished at 6pm


10 Tips on How I Overcome my Terror Barriers to Exercise;

1. Stay, be and live in the moment.
2. Dream about how good it will feel once it's all over.
3. Get up at 5.05am, sit, imagine and see yourself succeeding, and the day over.
4. Prepare your mind and then your body will follow.
5. Use affirmations like - It is easy; It is not taking a long time.
6. When you feel you can not move one more inch, see yourself taking one more step.
7. Use music and have your favourite songs recorded.
8. Laugh with colleagues.
9. Be honest, be real, and let the tears flow when you are overcome with exhaustion.
10. Never, never give up.

By the end of day seven I was seven and a half pounds lighter and had lost seven inches. How I felt was beyond words and it taught me a great lesson. That lesson was embrace your terror barrier and take action. Possibility lives on the other side of the terror barrier.
