Travel Tips Be Careful

Wherever tourists gather, be it at a castle, railway station or in a café bar you are more than likely to be approached by gypsies offering bunches of roses and or other plants. These can be very nice and a good buy but be careful. If this happens, first hang on to your bag. They are often in groups and whilst you are looking at the offerings, another picks your pocket or your bag. It happens all the time.

You will come across beggars everywhere, outside supermarkets at the bus station and again at tourist attractions. They often have a sign printed in English telling you their story. You may be approached by children or by young women with a card saying that they are refugees and have no money. If you feel strongly about these issues you should make a donation to a registered charity as often money given in the streets ends up in the pockets of organized gangs.

Finally, how to deal with the Looky, Looky men of African origin who sell CDs DVDs and watches, toys and sunglasses. More and more they drop by your table as you enjoy your coffee in the sun. They have a great sales pitch but the goods are sometimes worthless. If you are tempted to buy it is always a good idea to ask around bar owners and local residents to find out who are the regular and reputable Looky, Looky men because some of their stuff can be ok. If you do not want to do business with them Keep your money in you wallet or purse Smile and say no thank you and they will go away.
Stuff Happens… Now What Are You Going To Do About It?

Ok I’m focused and know where I’m going and now I’ve received an email
telling me that my friend Bob Mouncer has been called away to London as
a friend of his is seriously ill. Bob is proof reading my book, my dead
line for getting my book back was Mid-November. My first instinct was to
panic, my second was, there’s nothing that can be done about it, I’ll just
have to deal with it after all nothings set in concrete and the date for
the launch can be moved.

I’ve slept on it and have decided to start reproof reading, this means
learning the ebook software will have to wait. Stuff Happens.

What do you do when you’ve made up your mind to move forward on your
dreams, you start on your goals, and then calamity strikes? You have
to decide to keep your eyes on the prize and not on the problems.
Problems will come, in fact, they must come. That’s how we grow, however,
we must decide whether we will go through the problems or grow through
the problems. That decision will determine our actions. And our actions
will determine our results.

So when life gets in the way as it sometimes does and it knocks you down
and tries to knock you out, Just pick yourself up, Dust yourself down, and
now get moving again in the direction of your goals.

Fellow entrepreneur, we all have challenges on our journey towards our goal
for greater success, but please do not stop. Don’t give up. No matter what
don’t let anything wreck your success. Focus on the prize of achieving the
goal rather than the pain of the problem. In time, you will see your prizes
grow and your problems shrink. Most of all, you will grow yourself and
achieve success.

By the way I’ve had a second email from Bob, telling me he’d taken my
book with him to London and that he thinks we can still achieve by
mid-November deadline what a gem. Oh dear that means I’m back to
getting to grips with  the ebook software which is another challenge.

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing over and
over again and expecting different results.
 Stuff Happens… Now What Are You Going To Do About It? Part 2

Well this morning I’ve received bad news from my friend Bob Mouncer.
Bob called me from London to say his friend has passed away they were
friends for over 48 years so it as hit him hard.

As you can see I’m running late Mid-November as gone and I’ve decided
that our website will have to go online now before the book is ready. I’ve
had to refocus as it was nearly ready and I’ll tweak it  as we go along, I’m still
getting to grips with the software for the book, yes Stuff Happens.

Ok what now, it’s time to refocus yet again, looking at my list there’s lots
to do. Going to start to look for place to sell my  book, any suggestions great
fully received please leave a comment on my blog.

Our auto responder is up and running and when you sign up for our Tips,
Advice and much more newsletter we be giving you Suzanne Morrison’s
10 Free SEO Tools. Suzanne’s book was a great help to me whilst I’ve been
building our website, and there are links to other FREE stuff that will help
you build your website.

I’m setting a new launch date for my book, as I said in my last post nothing
is set in concrete




www.developingyoursuccess.com

On a brighter note the sun is shining, I’m going to take a couple of hours off
and go with my husband James to take the dogs for a walk and maybe do a
bit of Christmas shopping, then it will be back to work, it as become a
labour of love, which is a good job really it as taken a long time  to fulfil
my dream I’m now 90% of the way there and by Christmas it will be 99%
the last 1% is for my book to become a success.

This luxurious train operates on two routes in Spain.

The ‘Al Andalus’ itinerary travels through Andalusia in southern Spain, with visits to (amongst other places)  Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Ronda and Cadiz, thus taking in a wide sweep of Southern Spain, whilst being transported through stunning scenery from the mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the Atlantic Ocean.  Andalucia today is the result of cultural influences that encompasses the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Byzantines and of course the Moors, all before the Christian Spanish era that has become modern Spain.
This historical kaleidoscope has produced a number of World Heritage sites and cities, set in a varied and fascinating landscape, much of which is protected for its flora and fauna.
The ‘Ibérico’ itinerary is Madrid to Zaragoza, or Zaragoza to Madrid, with a full programme of visits to perhaps less well known cities, sites and towns.  The tour takes in Pamplona, la Rioja wine tasting, Moorish and Roman Burgos, Ávila – City of the Stones and Saints, with thousand-year old city walls and many Romanesque and Gothic churches and  Segovia, with much Roman architecture.  This part of Spain is rich in military history, with many battles being fought over the centuries, not least the Peninsula War.
About the Train - The lounge, bar and restaurant carriages were built in France between 1929 and 1930 by the Wagon-Lits Company, and have now been restored to their original splendour, which is matched by on-board service, attentive without being obsequious.  This is the epitome of romantic travel; Belle Epoque charm mingles with the comfort of  the modern age, allowing the traveller to revel in the pleasure of the journey.
It is worthwhile noting that the sleeper carriages have private bathing facilities for all suites – shower, toilet and wash basin.

Once upon a time, Spain had one of the most backward train networks in western Europe.  Now, they have one of the best, indeed, one of my favourite rail systems.  High-speed AVE trains (Alta Velocita Espagnol) link major cities at up to 186mph, and if you book in advance online you can find some great cheap fares at the official Spanish rail website, www.renfe.com.  This page will give you a heads-up on how to travel cheaply around Spain by train.

Time to get moving – How to Overcome Procrastination

I’ve been intending to write about procrastination for a long time, but I have never had time to do it.

Procrastination is nothing to be ashamed of , almost everyone gets a bout from time to time.  I understood it was time for me to get off Twitteran d share some powerful ideas to help you stop time wasting for good.

Overcoming procrastination can gain you more time, increase your sense of accomplishment and take away the frustration of feeling stuck.

Learning how to begin work projects, do what really matters and grasp the day can have a massive impact on your happiness and success.

What is procrastination?

Psychologists define procrastination as something “counter-productive, needless and delaying” – and that is no fun after all.

We all have some great techniques for procrastinating, some of my personal favourites include:

“ There no rush it can wait.”

“ Its not Important.”

“I’ll start doing that this afternoon / tomorrow / next week / next month…”

“I’ll just clean the house / bathe the dog / take out the rubbish / check Facebook / cut my toenails first….”

“Every time I’m about to start, the phone rings / my boss comes by / I get an urgent email….”

What makes us come up with these fiendish avoidance tactics?

Check your Head

According to the Mind Gym, procrastination is typically driven by our deeper beliefs about the world.  If we can identify the underlying assumptions and motivatiorn, we can start to understand and beat our procrastination.

They suggest some common beliefs that lead to time-wasting:

Perfectionism, do you try for absolute perfection in everything you do?  Perfection is such a high standard to reach, this creates a massive amount of pressure to perform well.  Trying to write the perfect CV, create the ideal Powerpoint, have the perfect call with that customer is such a daunting task.  It is easy to understand why starting such a task feels frightening and is easy to put off. To somwe other time.
   
Certainty, “Before I take my dream trip to Canada / start this project on marketing to clients companies / go to that evening class, I need to know all about it”.  The need for certainty can make us to spend years in the research phase and never get started.  We fear that unless we’re an expert, we’ll be exposed as a fraud, look stupid and everything will go wrong.  So we never start.
   
Fear of failure, starting is the first step on the downward trip to failure, public humiliation and destitution.  Failure has stopped many good ideas and projects in their tracks.  This is probably the single largest cause of procrastination.
   
I’m not up to doing it , when we don’t believe we can do something, we’ll find every reason and excuse in the world not to do it.  The most debilitating idea in the world is “there is no way I can do this”.

Next time you find yourself watching TV or re-tweetig that latest fascinating post, take a second.  What are you putting off and why?

Changing Minds

If you want to beat procrastination, start by changing your thinking. You can only change some things in your life if you change some things in your life. Once you’ve identified what is behind your procrastination, try this approach:

Step 1 – Re think your belief

Start to take the pressure off yourself by looking at things that effect your beliefs in a less harsh way:

“I need get a perfect result” becomes “I’d like a perfect result”

“I need to know everything about this” becomes “It would be good to know everything about this’

“I’m terrified of failing” becomes “It would be better not to fail”

“I can’t do this” becomes “I’m not sure if I am ready for this”

Immediately, these beliefs become less imposing and less of a barrier to getting starting.

Step 2 – Create a safety net

Now to further reduce your belief.  Add in a get-out clause that makes the belief even less daunting.  For example:

“I’d like a perfect result but if I don’t get one it doesn’t matter.”

“It would be good to know everything about this but I already know enough to start and I’ll keep learning as I go along.”

These statements take away the terrible future events we’ve already imagined for the task.  It is ok if we try our best and we don’t quite reach perfect.ion.  If we do fail, we may even learn more than if we succeed.

Step 3 – Go for it

With the newly installed belief in place, it is time to get started!  When I’ve used this technique, it often feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.  I always find that just taking action is the best way to beat procrastination.

I know one of the major reason I procrastinate is because I look at the task as a whole and forget to use the salarmi approach. So when I think of all the stuff I still have to do to get to my goal, it can be demotivating. But once I just focus on the task at hand and enjoy the process, it get’s much easier to get things done.


“Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.” Johann von Goethe
