Of course I didn't receive my certificate until I had completed all parts of the 8 week course.

This is my review of the course after week two:-
"Brilliant Results "
"There are NO SECRETS!! Seriously, there is only knowledge, learning and application, mixed together with a few great ideas and plenty of calm focused action to get the results you desire.
The skill is in recognizing where to find the knowledge you need, the desire & commitment to learn, the willingness and determination to assimilate what you learn, an open mind to encourage your creative thinking and focused action to achieve positive results.
It is no secret that Frasers 8 week course is delivering all of the above for many people, including myself. I am 2nd week in and have gained so many benefits simply by following the strategies of Frasers course.
Benefits so far - New clients, new leads, improved focus and strategy followed up by appropriate action with brilliant results. I am thrilled and even enjoying my 'homework'
Each call is an inspiration and motivates you to be the best you are at what you do - you are the secret to your own success. I highly recommend this course to everyone who really wants to be the best at what they do.
Thanks Fraser and the others on my course calls"

Have you experienced that occasional overwhelming feeling of panic? The one where you know you have too much to do and not enough time. That tingle along your spine when you know you need help – now - but you don’t know where to get it?
You put obstacles in the way….
“I can’t afford an assistant/secretary”
“I don’t have space in my office”
“How will I know they can do the job?”
“I don’t have time to train anyone – if I did I wouldn’t need them!!”
My suggestion would be to take a very close look at the emerging field of VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE.
A Virtual Assistant or VA is a self employed, independent professional offering administrative and secretarial support to her/his clients. Some have chosen a niche in which to specialise, for example, Medical or Legal sectors. A good VA will already have had a strong career in the corporate world and therefore understand the demands that are regularly placed on business owners and executives.
Now, you are probably thinking “how can a VA support me when they’re not even here?”
Well, that’s where technology, imagination and flexibility come into play….
You will correspond with your VA via telephone, e-mail, fax, instant messaging and post. For example, with the onset of digital technology it is now possible to dictate directly into your PC or handheld digital recorder and email an audio file to your VA who will then transcribe it and send it back to you as a word document. If you were to call your VA using Skype, she/he could record the conversation to ensure that your instructions are clear and easily accessible should they need to be reviewed– as opposed to constantly repeating yourself to your secretary in the next room! By utilising an ‘on-line’ office both you and your VA can access to the same files, amending them as necessary and both using the most recent version.
The growth of the Internet and digital technology means that even if a VA is based in the UK USA UK
If you have previously had a traditional secretary, where were they? In the office next door or two floors away? In the same room? How did you communicate when you were travelling or at a conference? Did you always speak face to face? I think you are beginning to see my point….
Your VA doesn’t need to be sat next to you – although once you have built a good relationship it may feel as if they are! If you were to call an instruction across the room or talk through an intercom, this could easily be done over the telephone or via email. Your VA can have access to your on-line diary to make the appointment you need or carry out your request to send a particular letter. It can be emailed to you for signature and can be sent from your office or if preferred, your VA can send it on your behalf.
Flexibility
A very important factor if you are a small business owner or busy executive. Your VA will work for you only when you need them. There are no ‘added extras’. You don’t need to provide extra space in your office. You don’t need to pay any training costs, National Insurance Contributions, holiday or sick pay. You’re VA will already have all the equipment necessary to carry out your work.
This all seems like a very good idea…. I want one of those!
So here are a few things to think about and remember when choosing a VA. A good VA will want to get to know your business and become an invaluable member of your team. Try to have a list of specific skills or experience you would like your VA to have. The working relationship will develop over time – communication is the key. Each business has its own unique requirements and with clear communication from you your VA will quickly learn and anticipate your needs.

A face lift for reiki site.
reiki-insight has had a little overhaul to improve the design and layout using xhtml and css design elements.
It is bound to change again, as I am learning some php coding, which may well take me some time to get the hang of and I doubt I shall become an 'expert' - it's a bit like learning Russian, for me at least.
In addition it appears that I don't have mysql with my hosting, which limits the possibilities for dynamic usage of the php scripts / capabilities.
Perhaps i'll sort the hosting issue out when I learn a little more about php.
Oh, if you find any flaws in the current design, please do drop me a line to let me know.
Thanks
Diane
to your success
