ooo i would love to meet up in october what date ? if i am not at my course in aviemore it would be perfect mr el can make you one of his delicious chinese ...please let it not be when i am away please please

mr el and i have started on a healthy kick trial he has decided that he feels the pain in his back is due to his medication (which it very well might be) when he read up on the side effects it all seems to fall into place and that being so he needs to get his blood pressure down so that he can stop taking the medication so he (we) need to get healthy ...i need to get healthy anyway if i am going to do the wwh and the jogle so it works out well for both of us

elantan

hello all,

thanks to bob for the reminder

i have been busy busy busy as i am sure you guessed by my abscence ...well what have i been up to


ok i started uni and i am enjoying it i feel i have so much to do and not enough time to do it but i am sure we all feel that way sometimes... the course i am doing has continuous assessments so i have to write a review every week join in online debates everyweek and do presentations and group work constantly so it is keeping me very busy ...it is giving me new insights one of which is i dont want to do the job that the uni is suggesting is done with the qualification ...i knew this before i applied... the reason i chose the course was because it fitted in with my work and family life etc so the desire to do the work was never there but that is ok and it sits well with me i am learning alot and gaining new transferable skills all the time.....

my business well i have completed my diploma in clinical hypnotherapy and the master n.l.p practitoner along with e.f.t and c.b.t and i love that this is where my heart has lay for a good few years now it is what i want to do...i hope to launch my business in january and start treating clients then but i have joined with a fellow hypnotherapist and together we are going to be doing another kind of buiness that sits well with both if us


my treatment room is coming along very nicely i have spent a fortune alot more than i had every planned but i am happy with it and i hope to get some of it back through tax etc...

my son's uni well that has been a nightmare i found out that contrary to what i had been previously told my husband and i are financially responsible for him till he is 25 and according to the s.a.a.s we have t give him £3,000 a year something we just cant afford


my debt has went through the roof it really has my savings depleted and debt mounted up i need to get back on top of it and soon but it seems that money is just slipping through my fingers with this business ...i still have to produce some business cards etc i am waiting for a logo which someone has offered to do for me and i need a web site so more money is going to be spent i think before i get some coming back in....


so i will need to get on top of the bills and no doubt will have to annoy all you good people and badger you all for advice etc

hope you are all well

elantan

well first night shift down three to go ...i spent all of last night doing business stuff no studying at all ...need to get me finger out for tonight me thinks lol ...and i think i need to cement what i expect want and plan for this business it's ok just writting stuff still need this still need that etc but i need to have some kinda focus...think it's because it is all new to me and i dont quite understand it yet so a bit of brainstorming coming my way i think ...

oh and i need to have a look at the finances also ...see when i can realistically pack in job no.2 etc

I am really pleased that they hypnotherapy stuff sits well with you - you sound very positive about it, and once you get going, you will get a reasonable amount of money coming in.

Like all businesses, you get out what you put in - so make the effort and you will get the financial reward. That means that you will have to spend money to start with, but once you are going, you will get word of mouth recommendations, which are the best type of all as they are free, and your "spends" will be far lower.

As for the debt/savings - well, you have been through some big changes this year so things are bound to change.

Get it all written down, and make a plan about what you need and how you are going to tackle things.

And keep posting from time to time - we love to know how you are getting on!

elantan

i will need to get back on top of that (the posting that is) i have deff missed a good few people on here i spent some of my time lurking and catching up but i think now that i am nearly there with the expensive spends on the business i need to start getting the debt back down again ...i dont think there was too much point before as it had to go up till i had everything in place so to speak
