I am now back at my desk after a whirlwind tour in Western Australia where I met many absolutely fabulous women who are eager to bring pizzazz into their lives and achieve the success they deserve.

A special thanks to Helen and Donna who welcomed us to their amazing Unearthed African Day Spa in Ellenbrook, where we not only got to meet and inspire a wonderful group of ladies, but have been invited back to present again in November. More on that one to come.

And a huge thank you to Linda who opened her house for a private function where I had the chance to speak with many women and open their minds to the wealth of opportunity that is waiting for them as they grow both personally and professionally.

Listing everyone I wish to thank would take me all day, so suffice it to say, thank you all - you know who you are. I can't wait to return to WA in November to present to more and more women and also conduct a 2 day workshop with other wonderful trainers.

So, not only am I creating my very own Opus, but I see many others who are creating theirs.

Are you? To be inspired and motivated and grow from Vision ... To Plan ... To Performance

If I can impress one thing upon you today - that is to make sure you watch The Opus.

Today's success tip comes from George Faddoul.

George became a master practitioner and trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy and hypnosis. Since then he has trained thousands of people in Australia and overseas and has become a dynamic speaker on a range of topics.

As a success coach what is the most common question you get asked and what is your answer to it?

'George, you're always smiling, you're always happy, what's your secret?' My answer is to start with the right attitude! They then ask me, 'How do you fix someone's attitude?' I tell them to make sure they take their vitamins every day.

'Vitamins?'

Vitamin A is for Attitude - everything counts. If you say it, do it.

Vitamin B is for Belief - believe in yourself and your product.

Vitamin C is for Courage - courage to ask for your outcome.

Vitamin D is for Discipline - the discipline to do what you ought to, the determination to see it through, and the dedication to stay on track.

Vitamin E is for Enthusiasm - enthusiasm is the elixir of the Gods. As Winston Churchill said, 'Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm'.

Vitamin F is for Fun - life is too valuable not to take this pill every day.

But then they chuckle and say, 'Come on, come on, what are your real principles for success?' I then take them through the

Five Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) principles for success.

Principle One: Know your outcome - imagine you're boarding a plane. Wouldn't you want to make sure that where you think you're going is also where the pilot is going? Steven Covey says, 'Begin with the end in mind'.

Principle Two: Take action - when the plane is parked on the runway and gets the clearance to take off, the pilot will apply full throttle - 100 per cent power for take-off. Nothing else will do. As my favourite philosopher, Jim Rohn, says, 'Don't just take action, take massive action'.

Principle Three: Have sensory acuity - that's your radar; your positioning system that makes sure you're still on track.

Principle Four: Develop flexibility - flexibility is the trait you'll need to have in order to make the necessary adjustments to stay on course. If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. So for things to change, you have to change.

Principle Five: Be excellent - always be on your best behaviour both physically and mentally.

The Person Responsible for Your Success

by Jack Canfield

It’s time to meet the person who has been responsible for the life you live right now.

This person has created your income, your debt, your relationships, your health, your fitness level, your weight, your attitudes and your behaviors. Who is it? To introduce yourself, just walk to the closest mirror and say hello! This person is you!

Although one of the popular myths out there is that "external factors" determine how you live, the truth of the matter is that you are in complete control of the quality of your life.

It’s time to look at the life you’ve created and determine what is working and what is not.

Certainly there are wonderful things happening in your life, whether it’s your job, your spouse, your grades, your children, your friends, or your income level.

Congratulate yourself on these successes; you are creating them for yourself! And then take a look at what isn’t working out so well. What are you doing or not doing to create those experiences?

It’s time to stop blaming outside factors for your unhappiness.

When you realize that you create your experiences, you’ll realize that you can un-create them and create new experiences whenever you want. But you must take responsibility for your happiness and your unhappiness, your successes and your failures, your good times and your bad times. When you stop blaming, you can take that energy and redirect to focus on creating a better situation for yourself. Blaming only ties up your energy.

It’s also time to stop complaining.

Look at what you are complaining about. Really examine it. More than likely it is something that you can do something about.

Are you unhappy about something that is happening? Make requests that will make it more desirable to you, or take the steps to change it yourself. Making a change might be uncomfortable to you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. It might mean that someone gets upset about it. It might be difficult to change or leave a situation, but staying put is your choice so why continue to complain? Face the facts that you can either do something about it or not. It is your choice and you have responsibility for your choices.

Successful people take 100% responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images that visualize and the actions they take.

They don't waste their time and energy blaming and complaining. They evaluate their experiences and decide if they need to change them or not. They face the uncomfortable and take risks in order to create the life they want to live.

Taking responsibility requires you to first decide to believe that you create all your experiences. Second, to pay attention to yourself, your behavior, and your life experiences. And last, to face the truth and deal with what is not working in your life. You have to be willing to change your behavior if you want a different outcome. You have to be willing to take the risks necessary to get what you want.

Isn’t it a great relief to know that you can make your life what you want it to be? Isn’t it wonderful that your successes do not depend on someone else?

Commit to taking 100% responsibility for your every aspect of your life. Decide to make changes, one step at a time. Once you start the process you’ll discover it is much easier to get what you want by taking control of your thoughts, your visualizations, and your actions!
