    The new website was supposed to go live at 6pm – and for the last hour I have been sitting at my computer absolutely paralysed with fear.

    I don’t know if any of you have read “The One Minute Millionaire” but it was one of the books that Mr Big asked me to read as part of the Mentoring programme after he saw the amazing people that threw their hands up to be part of the Matrix game we are playing.

    Towards the end of the book, Michelle has run out of time to raise the one million dollars she needs to get her children back – and the last roll of the dice is an email marketing programme selling places on a seminar run by her mentor and supporter, Sam.

    All day today – as we have been finishing the web-page offering out the training events and the books, I have been feeling so nervous, so anxious, so like Michelle in the book. Because I realise that what I’m about to do is perhaps the biggest thing I have ever done in my life – I’m about to claim back a future for me and for my boys by doing the one thing in the world I am most passionate about, giving great people a better future because they are better equipped to learn, unlearn and relearn throughout their lives.

    I so wanted to be at this point, cool, calm, collected and confident that the moment I throw the button and go live that sales will come flowing in – but instead here I am making up a post on the hoof and being unsure of what to say – and all the advice Mr Big would give me was, “be honest.”

    So I hereby stake a claim for a great future for all of us that have ever been in crippling debt; been left single Moms; wept at seeing their kids do without; scrimped on food so that their families are well fed.

    Every one of us that has harboured a secret dream that we are too afraid to share with those around us because that dream is so tender, so fragile that one rough, unsupportive comment would be enough to make it wither up and die.

    Every one of us who has spent time standing with our noses pressed against the window of life – and wished we were inside partying with the “happy people”

    Every one of us who are brave enough to admit that we too have spent days staring at the pile of ironing – and couldn’t find he energy to pull out the board and set to work.

    I claim a better, more prosperous and happier life for us all – because we all deserve it, and so do our families, our friends and our colleagues. The best way for us to bless them is for us to lead the way with grace and, well, a bit of bravery. If that means I am one of the first to climb the mountain, then so be it Universe.

    Without the support of the people in this Matrix I would still be sitting looking at my pile of ironing – still stuck on a life of benefits and no future. I am now at least on my own two feet, moving forward and focussing on a better future for my boys. For this each and ever one of you has my heartfelt thanks.

    I don’t know whether anyone will book on these courses, because, I’m not a marketing expert and may not have found the right words to attract those 1000 people my way.

    But if my conviction that this is a brilliantly powerful thing for people to do holds any sway, then on Monday I will be of benefits and rolling again.

    So 50 minutes later than my deadline, and with my heart in my mouth I have pressed the button that means the site is there for all to see. (It’s now listed as my homepage).

    If you can find it in your heart to help spread the word, please compose an email introducing who/what I am trying to achieve to the people you know who may love this opportunity and give them a link to the homepage.

    · People with children at secondary school, at college or universities.
    · Who work in schools or education of some kind
    · Or who have great connections with business or networking groups

    I hope some of scottishlass’ luck rubs off on me today – because I really feel that the next 48 hours are in the lap of the God’s and the hands of the Matrix.

    I’m off to have a cuddle with my boys, a stiff drink and maybe a bubble in the bath after I’ve put them to bed.

    I wish you all, all the joy in the world.

    Hi everyone.

    Still on the Make Do thread but nearly finished reading it. I have not read all this thread yet.

    For the past few days Ive been thinking what can I do. This morning I had a light bulb moment. I thought of skills I do have. Before I retired I had a paid job alongside that for 13 years I was a counsellor for a voluntary organisation. For the past year I have been involved in a pilot scheme with the pallative care team at the hospital I do my meeting and greeting at. A new pilot scheme is starting with new volunteers and today I have offered to be a listener to the volunteers and been accepted.

    I also am trained in Emotional Freedom Technique. Its about tapping on accupressure points. I have been drawn to cosmic ordering for a long time. So just thinking how I can use these. I dont want to start a business but use this knowledge in some way.

    I just love all this and am amazed at the miracles that have happened already.

    Love the new web site. Brilliant!

    Have to agree with the others - easy to read after a long day (which, lets be honest - a lot of your target audience might have had).

    I asked at work the other day about getting your books back and was told that there is no budget for having you in this year but they're looking at another startegy on Q1 so will propose you then. But seeing as we've now been hit in our building by staff number reductions (had to happen) I don't know if that will pan out.

    Sorry - but I will pass on this e-mail address tomorrow (overtime that I foolishly said yes to today.......) and with my new "friends" from my ooops e-mail the other day, I may have a few more people to pass this on to...

    Have a great weekend (the last weekend of peace for a long time) and enjoy Dr Who.
    PS, - come up if you want - & I CAN TEXT NOW :D.

    Enjoy your boys this weekend

  • Ok, so you've finally manged to entice me out of lurkdom MG. :o

    I came across your journey a couple of weeks ago and have been frantically reading to catch up - I have to admit that your last post brought tears to my eyes.

    I wish you every success for the future and thank you for bringing us all such a motivating and inclusive thread. :D

    Yay, well done Scottish Lass on the job, that's fantastic news :):)

    Yay, well done Clairewop on making the "lucky earrings" ;)

    Yay, well done Karmacat for asking the green questions......I concur with a lot of other people's comments, it's hard to gauge what's really worth it, as a friend who owns a lighting company is very scathing of 'energy saving' lightbulbs, and

    YAY to MG - love the website and am very excited about you coming to Brighton :)
