The key point that I picked up on was that boys from age of 6 -14 really need 'time' with their dads. That is most influential period in their lives when they bond with him. And type of time they need is not all thrown into a once a week or month block or some exotic holiday once a year, they need to spend time with their sons on a regular basis. Otherwise how can you build a strong and stable relationship?

For single mums reading this, don't despair. If you are estranged from your partner and bringing up your son is your responsibility, having a positive male role model in his life ie. uncle, brother, grandfather teacher, tennis coach etc. will work as well.

What's happening in our society in chase for almighty dollar and in many instances big ego, our relationships are breaking down. People are totally dominated by their work and have little energy to invest in themselves and their families.

Planning Personal Time It's very interesting to note that every client I have coached … male or female, whether they are business owner, director, executive or whatever title they hold, all have same common goal... they want more time for their personal life.

They do not want to start work at 7.30 a.m. and return home at 7.00 p.m. They are committed and enjoy what they do, however they are not prepared to sacrifice their own relationships and wellbeing anymore. THE PRICE IS NOT WORTH IT!

You Can Turn Your Life Around And do you know what three key things you need to do to turn your life around? Learn to say 'no', how to manage your time and then take action.

And for those of you who turn your nose up at people who 'sell' for a living, forget it! Everyone has to sell something. You wouldn't have a job if your company had nothing to offer. Every business has to sell something. Selling creates business. Sales creates economies. Imagine what would happen if your local supermarket had no stock to sell. They would go out of business and so would many other businesses who sell their products to supermarket. Heaps of people would be unemployed as there would be no reason for them to be at work. If you work in an education institution, what would happen if you didn't have courses to sell? There would be no need to employ anyone as you wouldn't make any money to run organisation.

There is more to selling, than telling According to Michael Gross, parenting expert and well-known speaker, when you know who you are dealing with, you can dramatically increase number of sales you make. Birth order knowledge gives you vital clues to approach you use and helps you increase your sales performance.

First borns If you are selling to first borns make your approach direct and to point in line with their direct, no-nonsense personalities. They like meat and potato type information to help them make a decision and they don't respond so readily to gloss and glitter of coloured brochures and other bells and whistles that can be used in selling process. When selling to first borns tell them what your service or product will do for them rather than focus on features or fads.
