Learning from Nature #4
Here we can learn from Nature that it is about keeping on going and then if needs be try something a little bit different, you never know.....
Learning from Nature #3
This one is not really about learning from nature but seeing the consequence of if we or other species are not allowed to follow our own path or true nature. A report in the journal Science reported that elephants held in zoos have a life expectance of 19 years compared to an average of 56 years of those in the wild or in national parks. I think what really made me fall over in disbelief was that the discussion around the reasons why this was happening was based around diet. The researchers concluding that a poor diet and obesity were the major contributing factors to the elephant’s early death. I am from a scientific back ground, so I know I have no evidence for this, but it would seem to me that it is perhaps something about the restrictive and constraining nature of a zoo that prevents elephants from being themselves that might have something to do with it. As we know elephants are intelligent and very social creatures and are meant to live the life of an elephant, following their true and natural path.
I know many years ago when the Acupuncture College I co-founded in the 80’s needed a new principle and it was muted that I would be a great choice, the words ‘ slow death’ sprang to my mind. Starting and inspiring? Yes, running and red tape? I don’t think so. Having the clarity at that time to follow my path saved me from my own zoo. I am speaking to the converted but Wealth Dynamics and getting a deeper understanding of the profiles might just help keep people you care about frolicking in their wild and natural environment.
And here is something for the elephants because it is their story. Nick x

Learning from Nature #2
For some reason today I was reading an article about how Reindeer cope with the extreme winters in their part of the world. It made me think about the XL online momentum last Friday. There were some great inputs and insights from around the world. Roger was saying what they were doing at XL in preparation for what could be a harsh financial winter and encouraging us to look at our business, even if we were looking strong now. Cutting down to what was essential, being mindful of waste, outsourcing, managing costs, learning and developing, looking at giving and supporting more. All of this to make sure we are in really good shape for when spring arrives with all its opportunities. Anyway back to the Reindeer. At the beginning of winter the males lose their antlers because they are only needed in other seasons, they grow extra downy fur for extra insulation. Then they stop doing what isn’t essential. There is less conflict and more cooperation, groups snuggle up together to make the most of their resources’. They dramatically slow down growth to preserve fat supplies; the fat supplies provide great insulation from the weather. All of this reduces their food or earning requirements to 70% of that of spring and summer. The end result is that they are in good shape when spring arrives. One of my friends who runs a big outfit here in Nottingham has renegotiated all his contracts, dramatically cleared most of his borrowing and has enough financial fat to survive on only 30% of current sales. Rudolph is looking good for spring!
Learning from Nature #1
As always the media has to find new things to worry us about, I guess it sells papers. The latest in the UK this week is the prospect that the most successful ant species in the world Lasius neglectus is heading our way, about to take over from our native but much larger ant. Why are Lasius neglectus so successful? Well they have taken communication and cooperation up to the next level. Unlike normal ants that only communicate and cooperate within their own colony Lasius neglectus works and has relationships with multiple colony’s around them forming a super colony and structure.... for them it is the way forward... the key to their success.....You just have to love XL....

" When I first completed my online Wealth Dynamics profile I initially felt very confused. Actually I was quite upset because I simply didn't feel like I 'fit' the Dealmaker profile I had come out as. People were telling me it was a great profile but secretly I wanted to take the test again! It just didn't feel right and I felt disappointed and had no idea how to begin to use the information. My coaching session with Nick changed all that. Nick put my profile in an entirely different light and the way he explained how I engaged each of the energies was incredibly accurate! I'm now very happy with my Dealmaker profile because I fully understand how it relates to me as an individual and importantly how I can use it going forward. I can wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is in any way confused about their profile and what it means for them to have a session with Nick - it will be enlightening and rewarding. Anyone who wants to get the most out of the Wealth Dynamics profiling would be wise to speak with Nick as he will give you even greater clarity and assist you on your path to wealth creation." Becky Gray, London
" After purchasing the Wealth Dynamic profile twice, I was slightly confused as it gave me two different profiles. When I consulted Nick on this issue, I found him a valuable source of information and authority on Wealth Dynamics. Basically he put on to the correct ‘path’ or ‘flow’. I am very grateful for Nick’s insights! " Charlie Leonard – Kinesiologist & ‘’Lord’’ profile
" I had got confused about how to interpret my Wealth Dynamics Profile of Deal Maker. Nicholas's coaching session brought a lot of clarity on how to integrate the power of Wealth Dynamics into my life. At my next client meeting I was able to leverage the opportunities in front of me with much greater skill thanks, to Nicholas's help." Kevin Boyd - Film Maker Personal Movieswww.personalmovies.co.uk
"Nick is truly gifted in the way he was able to explain my Wealth Dynamics profile in relation to my work, how I interact with others and myself with such clarity. Thank you so much...Just brilliant!" - Karen Haller (trader), Interior Designer www.karenhallerinteriors.co.uk "After completeting the Wealth Dynamics weekend I was left feeling inspired but also overwhelmed and in need of a guiding hand to take advantage of all the course had to offer. As a Master Practitioner with a background in business and Oriental Practice, Nicholas' skill base has effortlessly filled this gap. I am grateful for the guidance and support he has given me and can acknowledge that his range of knowledge is invaluable to anyone trying to grasp what they do with all this new info and how to bring it into reality. " - Sally CarmichaelInquiry through Movement Coach and trader profile.
"Nick has been fantastically helpful in two ways. The first was through the Wealth Dynamic profiles; not only has he helped me understand a rocky relationship with a previous investor, but it has already helped my awareness in regards to the needs of other team members. Secondly, his insight and help in the development of my business ideas has saved me a great deal of energy, time and money. I hope to keep a continual relationship with Nick as I further develop my business career. Thanks Nick, I greatly appreciate your help." -Alex Barton "Even after 20 years I still follow the advise Nick gave me. At a visit to the hospital they said I shouldn't still be here let alone be so well, but I am. Thank you" - Pauline Rhodes
"I have known Nick for over 20 years and he never ceases to amaze me how he knows what I am thinking almost before I do, and then know what to do about it. He seems to draw on a never-ending variety of skills to solve problems" - Louise Lipman. Acupuncturist
"I am supposed to see Nick for Acupuncture, but I always seem to come away having benefited most from the chat - somehow he puts everything into perspective and my life starts to flow again! - or maybe its just his jokes! " - Bill Bolton, Director Graphic Green
"I’ve known Nick for a long time. He has many qualities, including a wicked sense of humour, but above all, he has a unique understanding of Chinese Medicine – a deep fundamental appreciation of the philosophy behind the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine to which many of us aspire, but know we will not achieve. I value not only his friendship, but also what he brings to the world of Chinese Medicine. He has an incredible ability to see a way forward in the most complicated of cases, to see the bigger picture when most of us are stuck on the ‘small screen’ and to make the most complex of issues understandable. " - Julie Devlin Acupuncturist
"I have known Nick for 23 years as my Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist extraordinaire ! He has been able to provide a framework for me to help understand the underlying nature of what has been a very long term health condition . His creative application of the Chinese model of both medicine and philosophy has enabled me to make sense of something that has dominated my life , in so doing has brought about knowledge and awareness of how to manage the condition, how to live well with it , and how to make the most of my life despite the condition. I have gained from his wisdom, insight , enormous perception and skill and do not know how I would have come through to a place of working health without him. He addresses the deeper nature of my health issues and how to balance , repair and consider these aspects in daily life so that a profound healing may take place , rather than something superficial . He has a great calm presence for me , always intertwined with invaluable humour and care".
