Good Day to you All,

I run a small IT network consulting business, specialising in the Superyacht industry. I have some of the biggest yachts as my clients and I am very priviledged to have clients like these. I am a specialist in my field.

You must be wondering why I joined WA if I have a successful busines.

I was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in 2015 and another focus in 2017. This has had a huge impact on my life and the decisions I have and will take going forward each and every day.It also taught me to give back, in a big way. I do donate my time for free to the QA Hospital here in Portsmouth, England, to the Endoscopy department that saved my life. I do all the technical elements of the HD video conferencing and live HD endoscopy procedures across the globe for them. Its my way of saying thank you.

You must know that having a business like what I currently have ,requires a lot of your time and effort as well as huge amounts of global travel and time away from your family and friends. I must also make it clear that I am very grateful for this business. It still continues to generate revenue for me and my family and the people that work in and around the business. But it has a finite lifetime for me.

As you all joined this platform for the same reason I joined, learn to do something completely new, I am sure you all had your Epiphany moments. At various stages, I am sure.

Mine came along , day 2 on the platform, during my training session. The lesson was on finding your Niche. As I moved through the video, it all just suddenly dawned on me that some things are just meant to be. One of my passions is Golf. Tough market to crack, but when you have a passion for it, it becomes a very fluid thought process.

I paused the video, went to the Websites menu in the WA platform and proceeded to by some cool domains. Then I continued the video...and had to stop..

I went on a complete visualisation process.

Here is more or less how it went...

I like Golf

I like new Golf Clubs . In my minds eye, I saw myself picking up a new club (Cobra F9 One Length, actually a 7 Iron in my mind at the time) , felt the grip (the type I like), examined the shaft in great detail and the contours of the club face. The smell from the grip was a fresh, new smell. The detail on the club face became clearer and clearer as I reviewed the club. I proceeded to hit a few balls, not just any golf balls, the ones I like (TaylorMade Project A). I felt the sweet spot as I moved through the ball with the new club. I hit the ball into a high impact resistance net, with an image of a gof driving range projected onto it. The room is completely blacked out, with just enough light on the hitting area. It really popped out in my head it was so clear. The ball tracked through the air, showing a full trajectory using Skytrak technology (Skytrak Golf). I saw everything and felt everything, and thats when my ideas started flowing...

So, I carried on the video and then started building my website straightaway. Its in rough format. I will flesh it out as my visualisation process continues to send me the images I need and feel comfortable with. Its basic and thats all I need. Nothing complicated. It just needs to tell a story and showcase some products with links to purchase and a few follow up stories.

I have several other Niches that I am interested in and will flesh each one out as I go through this process. I think having a Niche you are interested in is very important inthe early stages (at least that is in my opinion).

If you ever re-watch that video, do yourself a favour and think about your Niche by touching, feeling, seeing, hearing and even tasting it. I believe your results will come quicker that way, your Niche will build itself in your own head. The nice thing about that is you can visit the Niche all the time and tweak it at will ;)

I learned a valuable lesson in the Niche video. There was a lot of hidden info in that whole video and thats when I had my epiphany.

Catch up soon and have a great weekend!
