It's a photo update today - we've been with some fabulous people in beautiful places since our last newsletter, which was sent from sunny Adelaide. Don't miss the success tip below - this week it's an excerpt from the new book, Lifting the Lid on Quiet Achievers - Success Stories of Regional Entrepreneurs.
Here we are pictured with colleagues from Joanna Martin's Million Dollar Masterclass in Sydney. These are inspiring people from all over Australia who we are privileged to learn and grow with.
We spent a day on personal development with a focus on our business, and a day on public speaking skills. Both incredibly useful days!
On our way from Sydney to Sawtell, on the mid-north coast of NSW, we spent a little time with Peter Coe, a Results Coaching Systems colleague and friend at a fabulous cafe on the water at Port Macquarie. It was lovely to connect there face-to-face as we're usually on our Coaches Connect telecalls with colleagues across Australasia.
An apartment right on the beach at Sawtell was a great place to be writing final thoughts for the book, while Lyndon attended Ray Andrews conference where he learned a great deal about temperament analysis and supporting people to know themselves better.
When we weren't busy working, we went for walks along the beach, several times a day... it was incredibly refreshing - especially the cold water!
Have an awesome week!
Cheering you on,
Lyndon & Kerrie

A little encouragement for those facing challenges...
Challenges are great learning opportunities! I’m so aware that the greatest challenges are usually right before a breakthrough - so there’s absolutely no point in giving up at that point – you’re almost there!
We all experience adverse circumstances but our response is what makes the difference. I know I can be very hard on myself, but I’d rather go that way than blame others. To reflect on, and be aware of one’s own thinking, is the most useful skill to develop. This is essential in making the right decisions. People can blindly follow the advice of others, often given in sincerity (as it’s worked for them) but if it’s someone else’s idea, the wheels can easily fall off down the track, either from lack of knowledge, passion or simply because it was someone else’s idea. The opinions of others can shape us and we need to think carefully for ourselves. If you follow the advice of others, you’ll blame them when things go wrong and possibly forget to praise them when it goes well. It is so incredibly important to think challenges through yourself.
As you do, your brain will increase it’s connections for problem solving and your thinking habits that build resilience and creativity strengthen. You can literally train your brain to be looking for solutions. Julie Woods, author of How To Make A Silver Lining – 8 Keys For Adapting To Extraordinary Change, wrote about her learning from her first 10 years of blindness, and is a champion when it comes to building this habit of looking for solutions and the learning in every challenge. Julie looks for the learning in everything. When faced with an apparently insurmountable challenge, Julie looks at it creatively, and rather than being shattered by disappointment, asks herself, “what can I learn here?”. When you’re thrown into a difficult situation, it can be useful to think, “this is interesting … if I have to be here for the moment, what can I learn?”. This shifts your thinking from panic, annoyance or stress to a creative space – all the better for problem solving.
