As you may have found out… the rumours are indeed true! I am slowly sinking into senility.
And, no matter how hard I try, the ravages of age are slowly enveloping me.
And, in my case, I have sorely discovered that my sense of balance is either on its way out or gone altogether.
The net result?
Simplez!
I keep falling on my face!
And, bugger me, I want my balance back.
So that’s my goal.
And I’m gunna do it using the ant ? eating an elephant approach… bite by bite.
So my first goal is a little one. One I used to do without thinking.
Putting my pants on, one leg at a time, simply standing on the other leg and not leaning on anything.
It used to be so easy… I could do it with my eyes closed.
Now I can’t… yet!
But I can do it on one leg but not on the other.
I’m halfway there!
Pretty soon I’ll be all the way there.
Little steps toward big goals!
Believe me, they work.

How to turn your business into a Money Making Machine
Hi Winston
I’ve known you for a long, long time, having first been introduced to you at a seminar in Auckland many, many years ago and was immediately impressed with you.
Your article on your “balance” was the prompt for me to thank you for all your super-positive advice delivered with super-enthusiasm in your email newsletters.
Since we are about the same age (I’m an accountant in public, or I should say, private practice because all my clients have become my friends and I’m very happy with the slowly declining size of my practice due to the inevitable fate for all of us – love your quote: “we are not here for a long time, we are here for a good time!”), I can sympthise with you in regards to our declining balance (among “other” things haha!). I bumped into an outfit called “Nymbl” which has been endorsed by the Accident Compensation Corporation here in NZ. Nymbl is all about keeping us ageing people “nymble” on our feet. You may have already heard of them knowing you are pretty up to date with most things, but if you haven’t, here is the link that will lead you to Nymbl:

Thanks again for spreading your “fantastic” attitude. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the bit of mutual history (and yeah I seem to have been around a l-o–n—g time) and I’m so pleased that you’re comfortable with the slowly declining size of your practice coz that’s exactly how I feel about mine! I didnt know about Nymbl and I’ll certainly look it up. Great to hear from you, twice as it happens!
