I was reading just the other day that millions of people across the globe are seriously worried about their jobs right now – whether they’ll have to take a pay cut this year, whether they’ll be made redundant, and how the heck they’re going to pay the mortgage if any of that actually happens.

The survey showed that over a quarter of these people had already started to think about how they could turn their hobby into an income-producing business – just in case the worst should happen!

What about you?

Wouldn’t it be good to have your own Plan B up and running, just in case?

And if you’re sick to death of your current job anyway, Plan B could help to turn your life around this year. Just think – you could actually make money from doing what you really love – just like I do.

Do you have a dream?

What stops you from going for it, then?

Maybe it’s the people around you who tell you couldn’t possibly do what you’ve got in mind, that there’s definitely no market for what you have to offer, that you should stop dreaming and get back to the real world… Blah, blah, blah!

Or perhaps that should read, ‘Baa, Baa, Baa’?

It’s amazing how many of the people who give out such incredibly negative advice live such demonstrably fulfilling lives, isn’t it? After all, the evidence of how well they’re doing following their own advice is right in front of your nose! They have such a big house, the very best car money can buy, the most expensive holidays, all their children go to public school, the lady of the house clearly drips with diamonds… NOT!

Personally I stopped listening to such drivel a long time ago. Now I pay attention to people who’ve followed their dream, ignored the green-eyed pessimists who’ve tried to hold them back, and have now got what they wanted and live measurably fulfilling lives.

So I was riveted as Neil and I listened to Michael Flatley on TV last night.

It was a programme about his long-awaited return to take an updated ‘Lord of the Dance’ show on a massive world-wide tour.

He started the TV show, and ended it, with exactly the same message, “Follow your dreams, because you wouldn’t want it so bad if you couldn’t have it. The universe gives you these dreams because you can have them. If you’re willing to work for it, you can have anything you want.”

He talked about being amazed at how many naysayers tried to stop him following his dream, especially when he started out on his own journey to create a full-length show from the original 7-minute Riverdance act in 1994.

Everybody around him said it couldn’t be done, that he should give up and go back to his day job.

Thank goodness Michael Flatley didn’t listen to them.

Thank goodness that he never gave up on his dream or the world would have been a much poorer place.

Now he says, “Whenever I hear, ‘It can’t be done,’ I know I’m close to success.”

So what about you and your dream?

Are you ready to bring it to the world, to change lives, to set another example of how to go for it against all odds?

Do you dream of colour?

If you love colour, you could have your very own colour business up and running within just a few weeks.

I’ve tried to make this as easy and as accessbile as possible for you to follow your own dream.

I’ve taken our £1,000+ value box of Colour Analysis training materials and split it down into 4 manageable options. All you have to do is choose which one suits your budget right now.

And to help you get started right away, we’ve extended our pre-Christmas offer – but only until Sunday.

You can still save 50 pounds on Option 1 of my fabulously-easy self-paced training course, Colour Analysis in a Box

And I’m prepared to help you even more by offering fabulously reduced rates so that you can pay over the next 3 months too.

Normally we charge 20% for payment plans but to help you start the New Year with even more money in your pocket, I’m reducing this to a very generous 10% – until Sunday 8th Jan only.

Order Option 1 (or whichever option suits you best), pay the first monthly payment, and you could have your first paying client before the second payment becomes due!

Be prepared

When you have Plan B up and running, then you’ll be ready for anything!

You can use your new skills alongside your current job, to supplement a job that just about pays the bills, to replace a job that doesn’t pay the bills, to help you get rid of a job you hate, and to help you fulfil your dreams.

Don’t listen to the naysayers

“Follow your dreams, because you wouldn’t want it so bad if you couldn’t have it. The universe gives you these dreams because you can have them. If you’re willing to work for it, you can have anything you want.” Michael Flatley

Amen to that!

P.S. Make sure to order while you can still take advantage of the incredible 3-pay option. It disappears after Sunday 8th January.

Thank you to everyone who has filled in our recent survey . Very interesting results indeed (!) which have helped us decide to create a fabulous new program to help you with your image business in the New Year.

Well, there are going to be two but let’s not get ahead of myself here…

Later this week I shall be discussing this, amongst other projects, with my GJK mastermind group. We’ll be shutting ourselves behind closed doors for two whole days, each mapping out our business strategy for 2012. I shall probably need a very large gin (or three) when we’re done!

But I’m still interested to hear even more from you

Are you just interested in what colour can do for you personally? Would you like to become an image consultant or personal stylist? Do you want more training? Are you a consultant who needs more clients? Are you looking for a mentor? Or maybe a one-to-one strategy session?

What do YOU want from me next year?

• What would help YOU the most?

Email me. Send me a postcard. Write me a letter. Just let me know!

In the meantime, I’m meeting my best friend from school for lunch today at Chatsworth. Hopefully her daughter, who is my god-daughter, will be joining us. As she’s about 8 months and 17 eighteenths pregnant, it could be a bit of a close call. I fear we may be calling for towels and hot water before the day is out.

And I can promise you that I shall be out of there faster than you can say, “Gordon Bennett!”
