Why A Snail Could Be The Key To Your Success.

23rd June 2015 by VParmar 1 Comment

Ninnian took her place on centre stage and took a deep breathe to calm any nerves before she smiled and said “Today I want to talk to you about something that inspires me…..I want to talk about Snails”

Now, I’ve heard a fair few motivational or inspirational speeches in my time but never have I heard anyone say their success was inspired by a snail.

But as this young student, who was competing in the Midlands Speaker of The Year competition, began to explain it all made sense.

Here is what she shared : [Read more…] about Why A Snail Could Be The Key To Your Success.

7 Ingredients For Your Own Popeye Like Spinach.

17th June 2015 by VParmar Leave a Comment

When I was a kid one of my favourite cartoon characters was Popeye The Sailor Man.

The premise of each episode was simple. Popeye and his girlfriend Olive would be going on with their lives when Brutus (the bully in story) would try and muscle his way in an effort to steal Olive away.

Brutus was big, burly and stronger than Popeye. He would set out all kinds of tricks and traps to catch Popeye out.

Popeye would fight back with great energy, spirit and determination against everything Brutus threw at him but there would come a point when it just became too much and Popeye would find himself stuck, trapped and facing defeat.

Then, in that moment of seeming defeat, Popeye would dig deep and declare “That’s all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more!”

Popeye reach for his can of Spinach, the source of his super strength, and instantly would be transformed with a surge of power. He’d break his way out of the trap he was in, beat Brutus and send him away with his tail between his legs.

But What has Popeye The Sailorman got to do with you? [Read more…] about 7 Ingredients For Your Own Popeye Like Spinach.

The Power Of Small

Last week I finally managed to cross a long time goal off my bucket list, when I took the skies in a plane.

I’m sure most people reading this will have had some kind of experience of flying on a jumbo jet but let me tell you being up there in a two seater semi acrobatic plane is a completely different experience.

It’s both exhilarating and a little terrifying at the same time. I mean, there just a few inches of plastic and fibre glass holding us up in the open air!

Whilst up in the clouds getting used the flight controls, my instructor asked me to turn the plane to the right and that’s when something happened that I wasn’t quiet expecting. [Read more…] about The Power Of Small

What Are Your Daily Standards?

12th May 2015 by VParmar Leave a Comment

In previous blogs and posts on various media channels, I’ve shared my belief that our daily standards and habits are the key to achieving your goals. From my own experience, it was raising my own personal standards and not setting lofty goals that has enabled me to transform my health and wellbeing, enjoying greater success in my business and have a happier family life.

My belief in daily standards was inspired by my friend Derek Mills, best selling author of the 10 Second Philosophy, International Speaker and the ‘go-to-guy’ on daily standards.

I asked Derek to share some of his ideas and thoughts on standards with my tribe, here it is…and it is epic.

I’m motivated but how do I get my team there?

“I’m motivated but how do I get my team there?”

This was a question I was asked by a business owner following a meeting.

Many of my blogs have looked at personal motivation where I’ve stressed the importance of finding leverage and knowing your ‘why’, but when you are trying to motivate others it’s a little bit different. [Read more…] about I’m motivated but how do I get my team there?

Mind The Gap – Finding Your Leverage

21st April 2015 by VParmar Leave a Comment

Recently I met with successful lady who has done very well in her career but is unhappy.

She talked about how she felt frustrated, undervalued and under-utilised by her company. She explained to me she was looking for a new challenge and I could see the pain in her eyes.

So I asked what she had done so far to make the change happen.

She told me that she hadn’t done a great deal other than put her CV out to a few people.

Now, from everything she said it would appear that she had the perfect motivation but yet she wasn’t taking enough action to change her situation.

She’s not alone.

Most of us at some point have had dreams of doing something different.

Maybe a change of job? A new career? Starting a business? Perhaps taking up a new activity in your spare time?

However often we fail to take quality of action we need to make things happen – why? [Read more…] about Mind The Gap – Finding Your Leverage
