So, when you have to take a decision ask yourself is this decision going in the right direction? Yes or no? If it is no, you just discard it. Is it an open platform? So even if you are not really getting to your final destination is it helping you to move forward later on or is it a dead-end? And the third is the most important… Can I get a benefit in the short-term? That could be an economic benefit or any other sort of benefit but show be a benefit in the short-term otherwise it means that it’s not the right moment to take that action. And the last aspect I already mentioned before… Do not give up.”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-lLu

He has a diploma with distinction in clinical hypnotherapy, has worked with the occasional celebrity, has an international client list and has also been featured in the national press and on radio and TV. MORE INFO BELOW JUST IN CASE YOU NRED IT... His interest in hypnosis happened pretty much by accident and out of desperation when his wife was struggling with a terminal illness. Twenty years on Tim is a hypnotist and his wife is now a multiple transplantee and a rare survivor of three terminal illnesses. As a hypnotist and therapist Tim likes to specialise in mindset and problems that other therapists either don't want to work on or have otherwise failed with. This means that he mostly works on alcohol and other addictions, also serious eating disorders. But he also likes to work on things like performance, post traumatic stress, and anxiety. His method for treating PTSD was recently independently endorsed by proffessionap neuroscientists in a published independent clinical study which reported positive outcomes for every participant.

And he has also created tools and methods which are being used in a number of UK schools to help children with mental health issues. He says that hypnosis absolutely isn't what you think it is and that everyone should understand it. Although he is now a professional hypnotist and therapist he also says there are some serious problems in the world of hypnotherapy. “don’t let anybody else tell you that you can’t do it. Decide that you are going to do it better than anyone else and don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t. And again, I think this comes back to what Henry Ford said and Dave Ellman, what the mind expects to happen is generally realised. So, decide you are going to do it really, really well. If you set your sights all low it’s hardly going to be a surprise if you don’t achieve very much ”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-lL4

In the beginning is about saying yes to everything because your wheelhouse is just forming, you are trying to figure it out, you are seeing what sticks. And that is going to push you and keep you up at night… Like literally there were many late nights because we said yes. But I think keeping that early door open to anything helps you figure out what works and what doesn’t. And then there is a shift and we have to learn the power of no and stay in your lane which Lee spoke about and realising that you can’t be all things to all people and that being busy only works if you are trying to get to where you want to go but it’s not going to work if you are burnt out in the process. And so, it’s finding that balance of when to say no yes and when to say no. And then as you get more established and as you move on into the maturity of your business don’t be afraid to challenge your own status quo. When something comes along and it’s uncomfortable and scary but it fits within your wheelhouse sometimes saying yes can transform what you are doing “ [Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-lKV

I think that entrepreneurs are a rare breed and being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone. And so often times we go to family and friends for advice and it’s important to keep in mind that they are giving advice based on who they are and not who you are. And so have confidence in who you are and if you stay resourceful you will be able to get through the challenges of being an entrepreneur. But be careful who you go to for advice.

If you are passionate about and if it makes you happy… And certainly, there is financial stuff to it and you’ve got to be able to make money in most cases. Just go and do what makes you happy, take care of your customers and the money will come. Don’t just sit around and think oh should I, could I?
