Yes, YEs, YES- Michael Heppell


I've always suspected that those "breakthrough" moments that come at the end of workshops with the big-time Life Coaches ans trainers- like Tony Robbins and Michael Heppell must be a bit of a con.

Walking across hot coals?

Must be something to do with heat transference speed..

Karate chopping blocks of wood?

The wood must be really thin..Or pre-weakened..Surely?

Yeah, well, now I know differently.

I've just spent the last two days with the lovely Michael Heppell and the big finale of his How to Be Brilliant! workshop is having to create a Power Move (and noise), then chant "yes, Yes, YES", then have a go at striking your way through an unfeasibly thick plank of wood.

On which you write the name of the obstacle you want to break through.

I chose "Fear".

Did I do it?

What do you think?

The whole of Mayfair reverberated to my Power Move and Yes, YEs, YESs.

I struck that wood with the force of a Ninja (turtle or hero?).

And..

just about made it through to the other side.

No, it snapped like a match and Michael had to duck to avoid the energy heading for his head.

But, just between you and I, it did hurt (inside I Ouched).


But the adrenaline and feeling of success pushed all that aside.

Just look at me...

That's not red-eye you can see. It's fire coming out of my eye sockets.

Here's a close up of my target...

I have to say, putting aside all English reserve and cool.

It was BLOODY FANTASTIC.

I will keep that wood by my desk and whenever I feel doubt (fear? no way) I will take myself back to that moment and roar..

Or make a nice cup of tea and drift off to my White Island (not a holiday camp for people like Carol Thatcher), no a beautiful place where I cleanse my energy and Power Up..

I'm about to go to the gym to see Matt (he who must be obeyed), so I can't chat on...

But suffice it to say, after yesterday's Day 2 with Michael- How to be Brilliant in Business, I'm all set.

In the next 90 days I will be establishing my own company and using my skills to....(got to write my Mission Statement...so watch this space).

If you want a blow by blow account of the next 90 days, to see how I get on...

Check me out on..

Sorry, "Follow Me" on..

Twitter

Michael taught me how to do it properly and now I am all of a Twitter..

I Twitter therefore I am? (Sad?)

Follow me and see!
