Here is what one person had to say about the course:
"The Professional Speaking Course that Bob Taylor offers at One Amazing Life was more than a simple speaking course that teaches you how to speak. It broke my own limitation I'd had all my life that I was a bad speaker. It helped me realize the potential in myself that I could be a great speaker, through numerous speaking exercises in the course. It truly was a liberating, and fantastic learning experience for me. I'd recommend this course to anyone who thinks (s)he is not a good speaker because Bob will help you discover your potential and be a confident and competent speaker."
-Jimin Uam - PADI OW Instructor

I normally charge a minimum of 100,000 won per hour for this type of training, however I would like to make it accessible to everyone. So instead of charging 1,200,000 won, you can take the entire course for only 300,000 won.

As I said there are only four spots left for the speaking course. If you would like to attend the workshop or the speaking course please email me: bob@oneamazinglife.com

Quote
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential."
-Ellen Goodman

My Thoughts
People often look at their lives and determine their potential by their past results. We have all done it from time to time. The problem with doing this is that it will severly limit you. Your past results are merely a reflection of what you have been thinking up until this point and time. You have the ability to change your thinking whenever you choose. The only limit to your potential is what you say it is.

Another clue in how people limit themselves is in the goals they set, or in many cases don't set. Many people set New Year's resolutions. How many people actually follow through with them? Not many. Why is that? Well most people don't put any worthwhile effort into setting these resolutions. The other thing is that there is not enough emotion tied to the resolutions.

Here are some common resolutions:

-Lose Weight

-Be Happy

-Organize my life

-Learn something new

-Quit Smoking

All of those are limiting. I won't go into all the reasons but mainly because they are not specific and not emotional.

What is my recommendation? Stop setting New Year's resolutions. That's right. Think about it, if you've been setting resolutions for the past 15 years and have never followed through you have yourself a 15 year old habit taking up space in your subconscious mind. Quit reinforcing that habit.

Instead of a list of meaningless resolutions, I offer you a different challenge.

Spend some time contemplating this question:

If I absolutely knew I would not fail, what is one thing I would do?

After you have the answer to that question spend more time thinking of what you can do right now to move you closer to to achieving it and then start taking action.

Have an outstanding week.
