Inspiration without the words

Translate Into:
Hi Team.

Before today's offering, a brief update...

Accountability Partners

The Bald Man has been working his muscular ass off to develop our Accountability Partner Forum with his buddies Brendon Sinclair and Anthony who are Web Designers & Web Marketing Experts over at Tailored Consulting. They are guns at what they do - thanks lads. We expect that the forum will be up and running by the start of next week. We have had an amazing response to the Accountability Partner concept, so we want to get it right from the start and ensure that we create something which not only adds value to our site, but also to your life. Thanks also to everyone who offered to help in getting the forum up and running.

Ideas from you

Like everything the Bald Man and I do, this site is a constant work in progress. Everything you see and read on this site is the result of much thought, discussion, planning and care on our behalf. We are doing our very best to create something of genuine value in the rapidly expanding world that is the Blogosphere, and also striving to develop a resource which stands alone as a beacon of inspiration, education and hope in a vast wasteland of Personal Development crap. Sometimes we get it right, often we get it wrong, but every day we're doing our best to create something spectacular. We will absolutely continue to do the best we can, with what we've got. For us and for you. As you've probably gathered, we're not interested in developing an ordinary website. What's the fun in that? Ordinary is boring. We will continue to do, be and create amazing, not because we're more talented than the next person but because that's the standard we have set for ourselves.

Over the coming year we have many goals for the site. At the top of our list is to build a Cyber Community where people can come together, build relationships, learn, grow, exchange ideas, help each other out, contribute to something or someone other than themselves, encourage other people and generally, do some good. The forum we're about to launch will be a big part of this.

With all this in mind, we would love your feedback, ideas and suggestions about how we might develop the site over the next year or two. How can we make it better? What would you like to see more or less of? Be creative, be specific and be honest. Obviously we can't act on every suggestion but we will definitely discuss and consider them all. Thankyou for your help.

Renovate Your Life Workshop

We've also had a great response to our Personal Development Workshop (RYL) coming up in June, with a bunch of people booked in already and a whole lot trying to figure out accommodation, airfares and the general logistics of a weekend interstate. If you have any general enquiries give Johnnie a call on (03) 9553 8857 during business hours and he'll sort you out.

Okay, enough news and chat.

Some music to massage your tired soul...

We all know that periodically I have a propensity to be somewhat verbose; I talk too much. I did it again, didn't I? It's an only-child thing. I'm working on it. In fact, today is part of my less-is-sometimes-more rehab process. Instead of trying to inspire you with a mountain of words, today I thought I'd let a very talented Australian musician share some inspiration with you via his incredible gift. For once you don't have to think, just listen. Nice. Sometimes it's good to turn off your brain for a while and just be. I don't know about you, but music inspires me, moves me and takes me to a better place. It's good for my head and my heart. Sometimes I find that not thinking is the therapy I need.

Many of you Aussies will know John Butler for the amazing talent that he is, and for my international friends, I'm sure he's someone you'll enjoy meeting. Take a listen as JB makes his guitar talk and let me know what you think by clicking on the comment thingy.

Enjoy.
