Diary blog: Book launch countdown (20 days)
20 days to go!
Yesterday was a good day!
It was a long one (circa 12hrs on book and clients) but it was fun. That may have had something to do with letting go of criticism (for a day at least!) AND squeezing in a Bowen & Emmett Treatment with the lovely Mary Macfarlane (Bowen in Lothian).
I always feel a Bowen session re-sets my mind, body & spirit. I did more edits in the morning and then popped into Mary’s on my way into the office. It was a really good session as I went in with ‘letting go’ very much in mind.
When I got to the office, after catching up with Margaret, I then fell energised to jump back into the book. After 3hrs I emailed it over to Mary, my editor (too many Mary’s in today’s blog!) then got working on accounts for my clients.
To give me a further boost I noted an email had come in from my one my mentors.
This mentor has a special place in my heart as she had the patience to help me see my mind challenges and encourage and train me. If I am honest, I was a little concerned about what she would think of the book. I mean she knows it all right? And who I am to think about writing a book about something she has been doing for years!
After reading the review I was overwhelmed with support and encouragement which if truthful gave me the energy to work until 10pm last night (I’m taking most of today off though!). Here it is.
“A must read for anyone new to running a business! Successful Business Minds is an excellent resource for anyone either considering starting a business or anyone who is running a business and feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
One of the biggest challenges any business person will tell you that they face is that of keeping a positive mindset and ensuring that we have the personal resilience to keep going when things get tough and that this can be the difference between success or failure. Running a business can be lonely and keeping the mind in a healthy place can be a greater challenge than bringing in the sales. I love the way Helen has used her insight of hypnotherapy and NLP, blended it with her own wealth of knowledge in accounting and applied it to business to help individuals to fully align their thinking when it comes to running a business.
Being self-employed and running a business is way much more than having a business plan and turning a profit and with Helen’s insight and business knowledge in this book she helps the reader to understand the importance of aligning the conscious, unconscious and creative part of our mind to be fully present and aligned as an entrepreneur and thus enabling us to engage with our business and customers authentically and in alignment with who we are and to develop a healthy, successful business mindset, which after all is where all our business success will ultimately flow from. Fantastic Book Helen x”
