The key is to open your mind to them and to train your brain not to believe all the media reports about impending doom and gloom of world markets.
I don't mean ignore your surroundings, bury your head in the sand and hope for the best. I do mean filter what you take in from your environment.
Take your mind off auto-pilot now. Your professional career and quality of life may depend on it.
Especially at a time when the media is reporting various (mostly pessimistic) views of where the world is at, from the economy to crime, employment stats and other indicators like the price of petrol and “brain drain” stats.
It is possible to recession proof your outlook. In this newsletter, we explore the strategies for surviving and thriving in any market.

We interview a goalgetter : David Pierce
Here is my exclusive interview. With the brain drain in New Zealand showing no signs of stopping, I thought it will be refreshing to speak to someone coming the opposite way affecting our business DNA- and making a difference. An American, now settled and living in the Land of The Long White Cloud, David is sincere, ultra-competitive, well-educated and not afraid of change. He speaks his mind and tells us how he followed the opportunities around the globe and hurtled over obstacles, but remains steadfast in the values he grew up with, despite absorbing a little from wherever he has been. He has the makings of a tall poppy* and I mean that in the good sense.
(*Note to overseas audience: a commonly reported phenomenon in New Zealand is for "Tall Poppies" to be cut down to sizes as soon as they get their heads above the rest - a cultural trait that divides the country and makes for interesting conversation when the habit is viewed amoungst friends, in the community, and in the media )
(*Note to New Zealand audience: doesn't that defination sound strange when written down?)

Featured Powerpacks
The pleasing trend continues at www.livemygoals.com. In the spirit of creating powerful goals , many of you are doing two things:
1. Creating your private powerpack with your own personal goals that you can visit each day and visualise- stuff that you want only you to have access to. This will very soon be a source of differentiation amoungst your colleagues- your focus will pay dividends. Keep it up.
2. Many of you are also creating public powerpacks which share your philosopy about goalsetting and goalgetting. Well done and thanks!
Here are just a couple of our latest "Editors Pic " public powerpacks:
