Jonathan Talks about his story of quitting his corporate job to do something that he truly loves, which is helping others realise their potential.

However, when he realised there were hundreds of other people who were tired of their jobs and wanted to go it alone, and become an entrepreneur, he was suddenly in hot demand.  Ignoring the signs, at first, Jonathan eventually succumbed and started teaching others how they could go about making a living doing what they loved.

Check out the interview below

 

You can find out more information about Jonathan’s

TRAILBLAZER Movie here

and watch the great video we were talking about during the interview.

If you have any questions for Jonathan I am sure he would be happy to answer them here.  Just leave a comment below and tell us what you think of the interview.

The tool is called REBT which stands for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy.  In this video I wanted to go over the basics of REBT and show you how you can control, with practice, your irrational thinking and the resultant beliefs about yourself.

I truly believe if we can control our thoughts we can control the way we act and feel about life and REBT is a great tool for this.

As ever I welcome feedback on this topic and the videos themselves as I am always looking to improve them.

I think a lot of us think that setting a goal is a matter of writing it down, thinking about it a few times and then getting on with our life. There is so much more to it than that and in this video I want to share with you the other steps involved in setting goals which will you you a much higher success rate at reaching them.

I am testing a new camcorder, which is why I am doing a video tonight and another one at the weekend.

I can’t tell you too much about the video except it is only 6 minutes long and I hope you find it worth watching.

As ever, it would be great to hear your comments about the video itself or the content.

This is what I briefly discuss in the video, the feeling deep inside of you when you are meeting the right people, reading the right books, synchroncities start happening all the time, and the right things just comes to you at the right time.  Trust in the process of change,trust in yourself and believe that change can happen for you.

I’d like your thoughts on what I discuss in the video or if you think I am a little ‘out there’ let me know that as well.

I have collected 10 pieces of beautiful music from my collection and found them on youtube and listed them all here. I hope you enjoy these pieces, they really do have the power to transport you to another world.

10 Beautiful pieces of ambient music

Artist/song
Brian Eno – An ending Ascent

This is one of my favourite pieces. I first heard it driving from Edinburgh to Glasgow on a beautiful summers night as the sun was going down, it’s simply amazing.
Arvo Part – Spiegel im Spiegel

This is another beautiful piece of piano music from the Estonian composer. I remember hearing this on a dark night in 1999 looking out the window over Glasgow city centre and I was hooked.
Simple Minds – Shake off the ghosts

Simple minds are not known for their intrumentals but they actually recorded quite a lot of them. This one I heard on a winters night, it was snowing and I was in my girlfriends house at the time. The lights were out, the orange lights outside showed the snow falling heavily and I was standing at the window alone. It’s a moment and a tune I will remember forever.
Bach – Sheep may safely graze – performed by St. Martin-in-the-Fields

I used to be one of those people who thought classical music was boring and a bit dull. However that changed about 10 years ago and this is one of my favourite classical pieces.
Harold Budd & Brian Eno -
 The Plateaux of Mirror First Light

Two geniuses at work. This is a beautiful piano piece. I heard this over 10 years ago and appreciate more every time I listen to it.
Vangelis – Hymne

I love Vangelis’ work and this is one of my favourites from them. It’s a bit 80′s but it is still a beautiful piece.
Pachelbel – Canon in D

When I was married a few years ago we had a harpist playing this in the background and it was beautiful. One of my all time favourites even though it might be a bit cliched to classical music lovers.
Brian Eno – Silver Morning

There is something indescribable about this piece. It gets hold of you and transports you into another world, amazing.
Full Sail by Ryan Farish:

I heard this last year and think it is just a beautiful piece of music. It’s upbeat but ambient.
Diatonis – Aurora

I discovered this on youtube a few months back and fell in love with it.
