Mindset

Presenter - David Binks

Achieve your goals and dreams with a “positive mindset”!

Most people want a successful, happy life and likely have identified goals to help them get there.

Whether these goals are for business, home, family, or just self-improvement, having the right, positive mindset is the key to making things happen to achieve them.

Everyone’s version of success is unique and we all have our own goals that align with our vision and values but need a positive mindset to realize them.

So, if you tend to have a negative mindset or are currently stuck in a rut, there are ways to help you improve your mindset and as a result, change your life for the better.

During the Mindset session with David, you will discover…

the difference between the ‘have’s’ and the ‘have – not’s’, the ‘do’s and the ‘do-not’s’ and the ‘can’s’ and the ‘can-not’s’.
that you’ll “believe it when you see it”.
that it’s your ‘RAS’ that keep your goals on track.
that past conditioning may be your best friend, or worst enemy.
that your attitude determines your altitude.
how to change limited thinking into abundance thinking.
how to change a negative mindset into a positive one.

Goal Setting

Presenter – Bill McGowan

Goal setting is vital in bringing about purposeful positive change.

Bill will provide you practical tips and ideas about how to develop and utilise goal-setting strategies. He provides practical information about how to use these strategies, practical tips and ideas to help you achieve your personal and business goals.

Goal setting is a helpful way to build the career you want. By setting objectives and creating a clear roadmap for how you’ll reach your intended target, you can decide how to apply your time and resources to make progress. Without goals, it can be difficult to determine how to successfully start or run a business, get a certain job, promotion or other milestones you want to achieve.

Everyone’s version of success is unique, so we all have our own goals that align with our values and vision for our lives. Learning to be a goal setter is one of the most important factors in your becoming a successful business person. During the seminar Bill guides you in the direction of using a goal book, as written and visual goals tend to work best.
