Happy Chooseday from India!
India is making a major impact in my life! I’m fortunate enough to be here at the Vibrant Gujarat event, with thousands of people, including 450 of us in the delegation from Australia.
It is an incredible experience as this event was truly world class, the calibre of speakers was phenomenal. Leaders from World Bank, MasterCard, Rio Tinto, several other companies and countries made it an enriching and enlightening experience.
Several things have been front of mind while visiting India.
1. The importance of accepting and being in awe of what is. The way things are, the richness and diversity of the people. Just like its important to have complete acceptance and awe of yourself and your skills and talents.
2. I have noticed the Indian culture is very respectful of all religions, cultures and beliefs. I think other countries can learn a lot from this. Individually, when we choose to see the person rather than the stereotype, we connect and find the commonalities rather than the differences.
3. Awesome attitudes exist towards the customer here. Yes, I’m well aware my experience may have been slightly skewed with my stay in luxury hotels. I’ve chosen to take these service levels with me and see how I can serve my coaching clients and audiences even better.
What do you choose to focus on today?
Have a great choose day!
With love and gratitude,
Jill

When Fear Grips the Nation
We watched in horror as the drama unfolded in Sydney. It all felt surreal as the television channels played footage over and over. #SydneySiege rallied on Twitter. Comments were coming thick and fast on Facebook.
Fear gripped the nation, and paralysed Sydney. The biggest city in Australia ground to a halt. Amazing how one crazy person can have such an effect over millions of people.
Eventually around midnight we got news that the gunman had been shot by police. While part of me wanted to be pleased that this justice had been done, I was filled with intense sadness. There didn’t seem anything to be pleased about.
Two other people have also died. I keep thinking about the families and loved ones that have been left behind.
I’m sad that this couldn’t have been resolved without loss of life. I’m sure police handled it as best they could and it’s also important to be grateful that all the other hostages did escape alive.
Shock that such a thing could happen in Australia, where we feel safe and at peace.
I never watch television. I even had to get my kids to show me which remote to use and which channels were where! Yet I was glued to the coverage as much as I could.
It’s almost as if we are no longer innocent. I let my daughters watch it with me as I know they would have heard about it from their friends anyhow. We used it as an opportunity for discussion . I also made sure we watched some funny movies before going to bed. It’s important to shift the emotion to something more positive.
We have the option now to continue to be consumed by horror and fear. Or we can choose to consciously change our vibration.
This is way easier said than done. As I write this I continue to watch, stunned and disbelieving. I know that it doesn’t achieve anything to watch, but it’s hard to pull myself away.
But at some point we have to move on. Get some work done and resume our to-do list.
It does give us an opportunity for compassion.
There is a great initiative #illridewithyou – Sydneysiders who are offering lifts to Muslims who fear being targeted on public transport.
Out of every disaster comes some good.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting we brush the disaster aside and glibly say “let’s just look for the good”. It’s more about respecting what has happened and realising that seeing the good does not take anything away from those that have suffered.
This morning I couldn’t find my car keys. When I walked out to discover they had been in the ignition all night long, car unlocked and easily accessible from the road, it was heart warming. A great reminder that in spite of what happened in Sydney, there is so much going right. Indeed the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue and there is calm.
As it’s Chooseday, what do you choose to be thinking about today?
This week’s Chooseday video message is about overcoming challenges. I recorded the video before the Sydney Siege had begun. It’s very apt for right now.
Kind regards

Chooseday Message for Parents
If you have children on school holidays, enjoy this inspirational message!
Vasbyt. Suck it up Princess….
I see many South Africans (and Zimbo’s) come to Australia and think they have to start from scratch. They try and shrink into a position that doesn’t fit them, and then they wonder why nothing is working!
They’ve heard that you have to do your own housework and you can’t have domestic help, so they set about learning how to do their own mopping and ironing and mowing the lawn.
I returned a call from a CEO one Saturday morning – to find he was cleaning the toilet as he does with his family every Saturday “Housework” morning. This is how some families work, the jury is still out as to which is the most efficient way to keep our place clean…. Is this the life you imagined?
You go from having a maid who does everything, a gardener that also washes your car every week, and a team of staff in your business, to thinking that you need to start from the bottom. Vasbyt. Grin and bear it. Suck it up princess!
Why? Why should you start at the bottom when you’ve been at the top in another country? Who said that these are the rules? Is it what you’ve heard?
We all know that things are different in Australia – but who dictates what changes and what stays the same?
If you really want to enjoy living here, and thrive like you have (in another life), it’s time to decide what you really want. Ja, sure you think you know what you want – but do you really know, mate?
You wanted to move to Australia, and then after the major upheaval you wonder if it’s really what you wanted!
You could just hug Precious if you ever saw her again….
Then you look at the beliefs you have – about living here, about working here, about re-establishing yourself in a world where no-one cares what school or university you went to, or where you grew up, or who you know in the echelons of Joburg society nor that you lived in the northern suburbs or have a beach house.
It’s important to go through a process that has worked for so many others in your situation. Here are the four steps that I have tried and tested with clients and through research on successful people:
- Decide
Clear your head and tap into what you really, really want. Decide what you REALLY, reallly want. What YOU want, not what others want nor what you think others would be impressed with. Yes I know you’ve always had a good idea – and you’ve acted on them. Simply getting here is evidence that you can set goals and achieve them. Take it one step further and see what happens when you go into this in-depth. Every single person that I have a conversation with tells me that they get clarity that moves them into action. - Shift your Beliefs
You grew up in another country, a couple of years ago (let’s not say how many). You didn’t even have TV till you were 6, you remember Haas Daas when it wasn’t the SABC test pattern. Now you talk to your family on Skype and you can see them on your screen – how things have changed. The world has changed, but have your beliefs changed? Beliefs determine our thoughts and actions. Shifting those beliefs to ones that really serve you now, that will get the results you want. What you thought was right may need to be shifted slightly. - Get Connected
Get Connected to yourself first. You move with yourself – so if you weren’t happy in another country, you’re unlikely to be happy now. If you can’t live with yourself, then let me tell you how difficult you are to live with! Connect to the true you – the you that’s inside there. Listen to yourself, take your own advice, walk your talk. Are you clear on who you should be connecting to? You’ve left your entire network behind, or so you think. I see too many hi-flyers come here and think they need to connect to the bottom of the barrel (or try to prove that they are somebodies and failing dismally!). Then they wonder why the connections aren’t going anywhere. You are still somebody important, It’s just that things are a bit different in Oz. Do you have someone that sees your potential when you aren’t? Are you surrounded by big-picture thinkers who encourage you to keep going when you feel like giving up?
Getting connected to others starts with getting connected to yourself and your family.
Looking outside of you for resources and progress isn’t going to do it.
It’s time to look inside, acknowledge who you are and what you’re really good at. So you can stop doing the things that aren’t your core strength and stick to what you’re good at. What? You’re not sure if you actually were an expert in anything? You and I have lots of work to do!
I know that you are an expert in something. It may be in another field, in another country – but what’s in your head travels with you. - Getting connected to Spirit – whatever that means to you. I call it God, but others may refer to it as the Universe, Energy, Universal intelligence – it doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s how you relate to it. You know that there is an intangible something that is bigger than you. It’s also inside of you. You may even need to reset and re-examine your beliefs to see what serves you now. Tap into the quiet voice inside of you – the gut feel, the intuition or divine guidance that keeps you on track.
- Take Action
Thinking without action is about as effective as acting without thinking. It’s more about what you can stop doing, and how to clear out the noise that is stopping you from thinking clearly and getting the results you really want.
Having a clear way forward ensures that you get what you really, really want.
Moving countries is a great achievement. You have done well.
“I feel like I’ve taken 10 steps backwards financially” is a cry that I hear often. What you’ve really done is taken a giant step across the ocean. Now is your opportunity to capitalize on everything you’ve done and make it worth your while.
Start the process that will make a big difference to you!
If you’re looking for growth and advancement, start by shifting your attitudes, beliefs and actions.

What goals do you have?
Yes! I brought Loral Langemeier to Perth in September 2011 and and again in September 2012. I’m sharing this story to illustrate how, when you get clear on your goals, they very often come true!
You have probably heard the story about how, four years ago, I read “The Secret”. We had just arrived in Australia, from South Africa to a small village called Hopetoun, on the southern coast of Western Australia (population: 300!) Our kids were 5, 7 and 11 – and it had been a whirlwind journey of packing up our life and moving to a whole new environment. My husband was starting a new job and the kids went into a brand new school.
The book made such an impression on me, that I bought the audio and the DVD version of it. I decided that I would study with the teachers featured in The Secret. So I started reading several books and programs – from Bob Proctor, Loral Langemeier, John Assaraf, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, amoungst others.
Loral Langemeier made a big impression on me. She had become a millionaire as a single mother in her early 30’s. I thought “Wow, I would love to meet her and learn from her.”
Since then I’ve travelled to Lake Tahoe to do her LBT – Loral’s Big Table and have coached some of her premium clients. I’ve also purchased cash-flow positive property in the USA, and built a business in Perth. I’m being approached by investors to share with them my experience of USA Real Estate, and buying in the USA from Australia.
What I’m fascinated with is the calibre of people I’m now attracting – experienced investors who have played in many different international arenas – seeking me out because of my knowledge of the USA positive geared real estate. Residential property in the USA generates between 12-26% gross return, depending on where you buy.
Opening up the conversation about money and how we think about it is an amazing journey!
I would like to encourage you to think about what you’d like to be doing (if you’re not already doing it), who you would like to meet or be talking to along the way – and what sort of impact you want to have – whether that is through your own endeavours, through your business or through the others you inspire along the way.
Have a great weekend,
Kind regards
Jill

Simply Get Started
He said he was paralyzed and couldn’t do any of the things he wanted to do. Of course, I immediately thought, don’t believe everything you think! Isn’t procrastination really just an illusion? You can stop putting pressure on yourself.
You don’t have to do any of those things you’re worried about. The evidence is that you haven’t done them and you’re still here, aren’t you? If you really wanted to do something, wouldn’t you simply do it? Procrastination is one of those excuses, born of fear, that we use to keep ourselves stuck.
Let’s say that you now want to push past the illusion and get started. First, forgive yourself for doubting that you can achieve whatever you set out to accomplish.
Give thanks for the wonderful gifts you are now ready to share with the world.
According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, acknowledged as one of the true giants of creativity, the way to get something done is to start it. The act of beginning an enterprise, no matter how small a beginning it is, ignites power. We’ve all had a brush or two with procrastination, but the story doesn’t end there.
I have used such helpful tactics as putting a date on the calendar when my task will be completed, “assigning” myself to sit at my desk until the job is done, even checking myself into a hotel room and not allowing myself to leave until I’ve made the progress I need to make. Just getting started generates an energy and excitement that helps push you forward.
It also helps to surround yourself with people who are doers. Being around people who are active and engaged and willing to boldly begin generates energy, too.
Stop the excuses you have come to rely on to explain why you don’t get the really important things accomplished in your life. The main reason you haven’t completed what you say you would like to is that you have refused to begin.
All the excuses are just that, excuses. In your heart you know this is true.
I greet every new day with the words, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
That’s the state of mind that directs me, fulfills me, and sends me out into the world with a gift to share.
It’s a blessing that I have learned over a lifetime—to experience the presence of Spirit in most of my waking moments. It’s a feeling of contentment and satisfaction, of peace and love.
—Wayne Dyer

I find Wayne Dyer’s words to be constantly motivating and he has a great sense of humour. One of my favourite CD series is “There is a spiritual solution to every problem” by Wayne Dyer. The wisdom in there is just incredible – I can listen to it several times and still get new aha moments every time I listen!
