From the desk of Steve Drake – Wednesday 14th June 2023

Due to the government’s response to the covid 19 pandemic in 2020 several training dates that had been planned to coincide with the official launch of my first published book 'Blueprints 4 Success' never got off the ground. However, we are going for a relaunch in the summer of 2023. 🚀 This time I am leaning towards the e book route to cut out the extortionate delivery costs. There is a new chapter that is not in the original book and the 'Power of One seminars are right back on the agenda. Exciting times ahead 📅 

You know I don't hide behind a fake email address or any address, and I DO return phone calls (as time permits). And I answer my emails. 

I am currently in the U.K. (Manchester) but plans are in the advanced preparation stage to move out to Thailand. The wait is almost over. I have put together a totally unique package of low tech and high impact team building events incorporating education and entertainment. 

Let me give you a heads up. You have heard me say many times that our brain is the most powerful bio-computer ever created, but unfortunately, it does not come with an operator’s manual.

Let me explain what I mean.

You can't get wet from the word water! The downfall with many Team Building presentations is that people can get inspired by the achievements of others and even feed off the presenter's enthusiasm. However, this enthusiasm often wears off.

The key to having a highly motivated workforce is employees learning how to motivate themselves regardless of the situation or circumstances. If you have been taught through the usual tried old patterns of explanation, demonstration, and drill, then the most important and useful part of your ability to learn has been left out. 

My events are performance targeted and light years away from the standard ‘chalk and talk’ style still so beloved by traditional trainers, This isn't about business theory, and I am really looking forward to sharing the secrets of self motivation in 'The Power of One'.

Nobody on the road, Nobody on the beach, I feel it in the air .....

The summer's out of reach



Today was a public holiday in the UK, known as bank holiday Monday and a day off work for some people (not all) and that's it now until CHRISTMAS.

So how does knowing that make you feel?

It's good to ask yourself how you are feeling (emotional state) because that is the first step in the framework for creating change, How you look at a situation influences what happens around you. Ask yourself what's my focus? Am I focusing on something I want or don't want?

Then ask yourself what do I want Vs what do I really want.

Am I seeing the opportunities or am I only seeing the obstacles, am I focusing on the problem or the solution.

The next 90 days are crucial to staying focused on those goals you set at the start of the year, hopefully, the short term goals are done and dusted, the midterm goals are now your short term goals and you need to focus on the final weeks and months of your midterm and long term goals.

We need to focus on what needs to happen and focus on where you want to go. The summer holidays are over and you now need to switch your focus to what you want to achieve in for the rest of 2019.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up and never give up.

I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU 5 WAYS TO GO FROM A “CAN’T DO” TO A “CAN DO” MINDSET:

1. See problems as opportunities
2. Tell negative people it’s really time for you to go
3. Eliminate limiting beliefs from your life
4. Refuse yourself permission to settle for anything less than you can really be
5. Maintain an ALL IN I can-do mindset

The above is a simple strategy, don't dismiss it because of its simplicity.

You can solve very big problems with very small actions. Ask yourself what is the smallest action I could do right now to start and make a big difference to what I want in the future.

Time to kick on with the final phase. See you all in 90 days.
