A PROGRAMME FOR WORLD CHANGES!

by YOLANDA SEITZ
(JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA)

Hi Bill, my program has arrived, thank you so very very much. I am so excited and overwhelmed that I feel like a child surrounded by so many wonderful toys that I just do not know where to start. I have been searching for this program for 20 years, can you believe that? And what makes this so unBELIEVABLE is the fact that you dedicated time to personalise this for me. Now that is not normal in today's world where you seldom find genuine and caring people who still retain an interest in you after they have made the sale.

So I feel was right about choosing this programme and I know that I will be blessed greatly by it.

Just a little story to introduce myself to you.

I am very happily married to Oliver, the best man on earth. I have two very handsome sons named Lyle, who is 16 and Logan who is 13. At the beginning of last year my life suddenly flashed before me. I was about to turn 40 in July, so I asked myself some very important questions regarding my past and future, and this is what I came up with.

The first 20 years of my life I spent learning. I learnt to walk, to talk, to read, write, learnt to make friends, studied etc. The next 20 years were broken up into two sets of 10. The first 10 I was experiencing, ..... experiencing working, earning money, marriage, etc. I became a mother and at the age of 25 and I realised that working a normal 8 to 4.30 job for a boss was definitely not for me so at the age of 30 I gave up my job, promising myself that I would NEVER work for a boss again. And so I went into my next stage of life and this was the 'experimenting' stage.

I convinced my husband to pack up and go and live in Austria. Very brave, I might add, as it was everything but stars and sunshine. It was extremely hard but I grew up and learnt many important life lessons. I learnt to deal with my jealous, envious and proud nature, that, I might add, I did not know I had. I used to be so high and mighty but in order to survive in Austria I had to become a house maid - something very difficult for someone coming from South Africa - but I survived and I became a better person as a result of that. I started my own business to teach English, privately, to very young children and I got involved in many social and community projects. I felt inspired, motivated and energised, I was finally doing something worthwhile and loving it . Then, like you, I was faced with a the decision of coming back home because my aging ailing parents needed me. So we packed up and came home to a not-so-certain future.

Last January, after being a housewife and caregiver to my parents for two years, and with my 40th birthday coming up, I started wondering "where to from here"? Where do I go in the next 10, 20 years. At that time I had two options of thinking.

Number one, being:

"I have wasted the last 20 years of my life. I have nothing. I have no career, no material possessions, nothing. I am just a useless housewife and I have no future because it will take ages to start from scratch. If I go back to study now how old will I be when I graduate? I'll have to get a JOB! Oh how depressing!

Number two - which is the option I chose to go with, by the way:

This is just the beginning of my life. I have all this experiencing and experimenting behind me and now it is now up to me how I am going to run the next part of my exciting life. I have tried out so many things and I know and understand myself so well now. I have a wealth of knowledge that will help me know where I want to go - something I did not know when I was 20 years old.

So I started searching for a programme that could help me to help others, because that is what I love to do. I feel most alive, most inspired, most excited, most fulfilled, when I make a difference in other peoples' lives. I feel like I'm fulfilling my purpose when I motivate other people, when I can bring a smile to their faces, when the words of encouragement flow from my lips and I see the despair disappear from their faces to be replaced by hope and dreams, sunshine and happiness.

The only problem was, where does this leave me as far as helping my family with re-establishing ourselves here, with regards to providing us with an income? After all, I promised myself not to work for a boss so how will I do what I love doing and get paid for it?

Well Bill, all I can say is "praise the Lord" I found you and the New Insights programme! I do believe it is a direct answer to my prayers, and I know it came at the right time in my life. I believe nothing happens by co-incidence or too late. I believe God has a unique and divine plan for each of us and in order to find His plan is totally up to us and how long to find it depends on our attitude towards life and our decisions and motivations.

Now I have met you and I hope you feel you know me well enough as I do believe we will have a very complementary relationship.

Once again thank you for your very special care.

Yolanda

Faith and Coaching
by: HELEN

Hi there Yolanda
We are of the same age and faith, by the look of things. You are welcome to chat to me about how our faith works with this coaching if you like, I would really welcome that - or anything else. I am loving the coaching programme. I think it is awesome, though I find some bits a little bit New Agy. Not a problem though. I understand that the programme can't be officially linked to any faith per se. I could not read your whole entry as it is too long for me right now. (I am in the middle of mentor training!) However, I also enjoy Bill's personalisation of the programme. I think he is an awesome mentor and coach. I would recommend this programme to everyone!

God bless
Helen
