How To Give Your Self Open Heart Surgery

by Jeremy Chance

When was the last time you asked anybody this question:

“What do you know about me that I don’t?”

I tried that question last Sunday with a bunch of trusted biz owners – guys and gals all working in ways similar to me to build their businesses. We were 9 people and as I sat silently listening, I felt my ego being silently ripped out of my guts and spilt all over the floor.

When you do it, be sure you are already secure in your love for your Self.

When Was the Last Time You Asked for a Kiss?

by Jeremy Chance

I am elite Platinum member of my Qantas Frequent Flyer club.

I’d like to think it is because I fly business class all the time and rake in the miles – but sitting here in Economy, cramped up against the seat in front of me, while I peck out my blog, puts that delusion to rest.

So why am I here?

I am off to Florida to be coached by a bunch of fellow biz entrepreneurs in USA. I start my own coaching in a week – at ATSuccess London Symposium on How To Build A Successful Practise – but first I need to limber up and eat some humble pie.

Trainees Make the Best Teachers !

by Jeremy Chance

Keiko Isomura passed away in 2013.

She was one of the first trainees to graduate from BodyChance in 2003 – when it was still called ATA (Alexander Technique Associates) in honour of Don Burton.

I encouraged Keiko-san to explore the world of alternative trainings, so a year after she qualified, she travelled to London and spent 3 months studying with Walter Carrington at the Constructive Teaching Centre in Lansdowne Road.

Keiko became a trainee again.

The Alexander Technique is Dead, Long Live Alexander's Discovery.

by Jeremy Chance

Ramachandran is the neuro-anatomist who successfully amputated a non-existent arm by using nothing more than a $2 cardboard box and a vertical mirror. I’ve written about him previously here. Not only is he wonderfully inventive, he is a harbinger for a new breed of scientist which gives me hope of a path forward to validate Alexander's discovery.

How Much Do You Know?

by Jeremy Chance

Mastery Emerges From the Details

Do you know what a CTA is?

How about a USP? or the why biz consultants say “The riches are in the niches”? Have you heard the Prince of Print’s story about the hungry crowd?

I’d wager that 80% of those biz owners – whose businesses have lasted longer than 5 years, have seen growth of 20% or greater, and are heading for another stellar year – could easily answer my questions.

Can you?
