This blog is the introduction to my free resource 30 Days to kick-start your life change. Change your life in only 30 days by applying the principles of life change that I share with you in this free resource – I guarantee your life will never be the same.
Every single human being that has lived or will ever live, at some point in their life are in need of a dramatic and powerful life change that will take them to a whole new level of existence. The life changes that are required are different and unique for each individual – money, health, relationships, a life change of the mind or quite simply a hunger and a desire to live a life that is very different to the one that is currently inhabited. It is easy to understand that a life change is needed, it can be a lot harder to know how to instigate a deep and powerful life change that will result in dramatic personal, city wide and world-wide transformation. Taking you through your life change and into an incredible future is my goal.

Imagine if you could completely and utterly transform your life in 30 days. Visualise the changes that this will result in, in your life – happier relationships, a healthier body, a feeling of having a vision for your life that propels you forward, every single day. I absolutely guarantee that if you commit yourself to the life changes principles that I share with you in ’30 days to kick-start your life change’ that you will never be the same again, I promise.
Let me tell you about a very special part of my day.
I want to let you in to a very special part of my day, ‘my time’. My time is the special sacred space in the morning when I am awake but still in bed. There are ten minutes or so before I have to get up, out of bed and on with the rest of my day. For a few moments I have time to reflect. I love this special time in the morning, it’s my time, time when I can reflect on the goodness of life, it sets me up for the day and it frames my attitude towards whatever life throws at me. Every single morning this is what I lay in bed thinking…
I am wide awake. I am not reflecting on my stress, my worries or concerns I am simply breathing, inhaling deep breaths. As I lay there, wide awake I think about how alive the world is at this very moment in time. In Melbourne, Australia, people are finishing their working day, they have experienced the day that I am about to face and are looking forward to the activities of their evening – the friends, fun and laughter. I think about people in Bejing. China, at that particular moment in time, who are in the middle of their afternoon – working in their offices, or the fields, some will be in public parks focussing and meditating as they conduct their daily Tai Chi. Right at that moment in time life is taking place – babies are being born and people are dying as they move on to the next stage of their existence. Life, at that moment in time is happening and as I lay their, breathing, I recognise that I am a small part of one living organism, the world, that is changing, moving and growing. Every single morning, at this time, I am inspired by how life is so freakin’ awesome, how life is so pretty damn good.
The definition of goodness is “that which is pleasing”. During ‘my time’, each morning, I am pleased with how lucky I am to be alive, pleased by how significant and yet insignificant my life on Planet Earth is. I am pleased by this incredible life that I am both living and have ahead of me, a life that I am going to master, create, define, ‘my life’ that will have impact in so many positive ways. Life is pretty fuckin’ good, isn’t it?
Oh. You don’t feel the same? I understand. It never used to be this way for me, either. At one point in my life I literally hated that same part of the morning, I was not pleased by anything in my life or pleased by anything that life had to offer, at all. I was suffering from a deep and overwhelming depression and, as soon as I woke up, I wished I hadn’t. Life was just too much – money worries, a lack of passion for life, no drive or ambition, and even though there were people around me I was feeling so desperately lonely. I distinctly remember one point in my life when I would wake up at that very same time of day and I literally wished that my life was over. Life was too hard to bare.
You may not feel either the extremity of the ‘goodness’ or the ‘despair’ that I have felt, but you may be somewhere in between. You may not wake up feeling that life is awesome, ready to take on the day, instead you may be under-whelmed by the day that you are about to face. You may be pretty much under-whelmed by your life in general.
One of my goals is to ensure that you wake up every single morning with a deep and profound passion for life, for YOUR life. I want you to wake up with a profound appreciation of how ‘good’ your life and everything about your life is. I want you to wake up raring to live your existence, to fulfill your Godtential – to make the most of your friendships, to love your family, to tackle whatever life throws at you, head on, knowing that you WILL overcome.
Welcome to the most powerful you.
When God had finished creating the Earth and everything in it, we are told, in Genesis that;
“God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good” Genesis 1:31
We are made in the image of God and therefore everything that is created by our very hands should be ‘very good’. Look at your life, look at everything that you have made and created – your wealth, your relationships, your career, your dreams, look at everything that you have built with your hands. Do you look at everything that you have made, as God did, and think, “it is very good” or do you see broken relationships, financial destruction and always living to ‘get by’, an unfulfilled career, loneliness, brokenness, unhappiness? As you look at everything you have created, what do you see?
If you look at the work of your hands and you think “it is very good”. Congratulations, put this e-book down or stop listening to this podcast and continue doing what you are doing as it is clearly working very well. Well done.
If you look at your life or any aspect of it and you are not ‘pleased’ by it, if you look at your life and you are unhappy with one small part of it, the chances are that you are unhappy with all of it – that one small part is like poison to the rest of your life. If that’s you, don’t worry, I am about to take you on the most incredible journey of ‘life change’ that you will have ever experienced, I promise.
As you commit yourself, 100% to the principles that I share you with in ’30 days to kick-start your life change’, I will commit 100% of myself to you. Together, our 200% will significantly and profoundly change your life in ways that you have not even begun to imagine. Guaranteed.
Right now, I want you to go head and draw a line across your life. Write this very date down and remember it. Whatever your life situation is, prior to today is behind you, it’s gone. From this very day, from this very moment forward your life is about to change. As you commit your body, mind, spirit and physiology to making this life change you will start to see glimpses of how your life is about to turn around. By the time you have completed the principles of life change, over the next 30 days, you are going to be introduced to the you that you were always meant to be, a powerful you. I guarantee that when you apply yourself to the principles that I will share with you everything that you create in your life, you will look at and see that it is ‘very good’. Your relationships, wealth, career, your health and your dreams will all change.
IMPORTANT: As you apply yourself to the principles of life change not only will you see a dramatic change in your own life but you will become positively dangerous as your life’s creations will also result in a dramatic impact in your city and the world.
So, welcome, to the beginning of the start of your life change. Sit back, relax and lets start this incredible journey. Are you excited? I am.
But, before we go on, I want you to grab some ‘my time’ and think about how ‘very good’ life is. I don’t care how bad you perceive your life situation to be – what drama’s and crisis are in your life, or even what you lack. Focus on every single thing in your life that is ‘very good’, write it down.
Let’s go.

[...] “Life is pretty fuckin’ good, isn’t it?” [...]
I am intrigued by this sentence in your introduction, “As you look at everything you have created, what do you see?”
I look around and I see success. I see things that my money has bought me… a nice home, too much furniture, a decent car, money for gas, a job that most would give anything for, and so much decadence that it drive the eye crazy. In my heart I feel different. I have never reached down and pulled out my talent at a level that is needed to really be happy with life. In a few words, “I have settled.”
That plays hard on my heart. I have not given my all… yet. I am nearly 50 and seeking to do just that. So, I am engaged in going through your 30 days and see where it brings me.
