The excitement of your early years dies and your job becomes humdrum and in the end you become a slave to it.


What you need now is a new 3 year vision.


In 3 years you can change everything that needs to be changed to improve your business and personal life, even though the means to do so may not be apparent right now.


Frank Sinatra did not push the piano!

Every time Frank sang he earned many thousands of Dollars.

Before he gave a concert, the venue was booked well ahead of the date.

Advance publicity was sent out and the tickets were sold.


At the appointed time the orchestra made ready , the stage was set and the grand piano was pushed out to centre stage.

When all was ready, a fanfare was sounded, the curtains opened and out onto the stage walked Frank.

He leaned on the piano and started to sing. When he had finished singing the curtains closed and Frank walked off.

Frank did not push the piano!
