About our Business
"My mission is to unleash effortless abundance worldwide, by helping people realise that abundance is their natural state, and that their `limitations' are only in their mind."History
I was heavily involved in Rotaract aged 18-33 and became Club President three
times and District Chairman of two out of the three districts in Scotland.
I was a Financial Adviser for 17
years and I successfully ran my own Independent Financial Advisory practice in
Edinburgh until I decided that my heart was no longer in it, so I closed it
during 2006 and instead I chose to concentrate on my new project called "Inspire Scotland 2006".
Unfortunately I cocked up my finances and I went from one extreme to another.
In an effort to clear my feet financially, I have since lost my nice house and
car, girlfriend and all of my (fairly substantial) savings.
At times like this, it's hard to remind yourself that 99% of the project was
very successful and I did achieve my goal of touching and positvely influencing
many lives.
During my time as an IFA, I was Area Chairman of the legal representative body (then called LIA, standing for "Life Insurance Association") and I became a member of MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table). Apparently only 4% of Financial Advisers in the world are entitled to join MDRT so I was delighted to participate and I met some incredible people including Sir Roger Bannister (world's first 4 minute-mile), Christopher Reeve (Superman), Michael Jordan (and many others).
Public-Speaking
I can talk authoritatively on many subjects such as; Property, Investments,
Motivation, Inspiration, NLP, Hypnotherapy, even Budgie-breeding and my
favourite is "limited-belief-busting".

the YES-Musketeers; a group of do-gooders, for no recognition, no reason and no
rewards.

fortunate enough to have met some incredible leaders and I can count amongst my

such as; Tony Robbins, George Zalucki, Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Dr. Richard
Bandler, Steve Oxlade, Nicola Cairncross, Marcus DeMaria
