There is no doubt that helping people has been my life for many years. From the time I was a programmer at British Aerospace and used to help my friends debug their programs in my business working with Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins as their worldwide business coach.

The Huffington Post even reports on research showing that you are happiest when you help people at work! More research also shows that you live longer by contributing to others.

Of course, when I started my career I was not aware of this research! I loved helping people, which unfortunately when I started my own business meant I did a lot of work for nothing.

I learned my lesson, with no food on the table, pretty fast. However, that never stopped me from helping people anyway.

The most exciting thing I found when I am in the middle of something with other people is when they realize that they can do more than they thought. A really lovely factor in coaching.

However, I finally realized that I was only helping a small fraction of the number of people who could benefit from the knowledge and tools that I had. So I wrote a short book (called Leap Ahead of Your Competitors) that was meant to help all smaller companies with marketing and running a business. Since I wanted the maximum number of people to benefit, I used to give it free to those who couldn’t afford my training, but knew they would benefit from its content.

So I thought, part of the journey for any entrepreneur or business person is personal growth. A subject that is not seen but that makes a big difference for people, their families and the people they know. So I decided to create a Facebook group called Personal Growth Tips to help people with their personal growth. If you want to take a look, you are at

Again, I didn’t want to charge because my intention is to help as many people as possible to improve their current situations, but more than that, I wanted their children to benefit as well. At the same time, I know that I am not the source of all knowledge of personal growth. So I wanted to create a community that would help each other and grow together.

So as I say the group is free to join in and I am looking at everyone who knows me to see who wants to grow and help others to do the same.
