As I look back on 2002 I Find it difficult to believe that so many powerful new influences entered my life in such a short space of time.I was profoundly influenced by the philosophy of Bill Clinton and in paris,at the leading Women Entrepreneur awards,came into contract with kindred spirits who made me see myself in a new light. I realised I was not an 'abnormal' woman with some kind of freakish quality that had made me a business success.I was not so different. There were many other women like me who thought much the same way,who were driven by similar ambitions and emotions and they came from all kinds of cultural background and industries. It was so liberating. I got to know a few of the other leading entrepreneurs really well. Francine le Frek , who was chosen as a leading woman entrepreneur because of her success in the entertainment industry, became a good friend. Francine has won Toni Awards and Emmy Awards as a TV producer . She lives in New York.I admire her enormously.

About six months after opening my school ,I bought a ticket to attend a seminar being conducted by a motivational speaker from the US. The speaker's name was Jim Rohn. Listening to Jim Rohn that night 22years ago, I learned a lesson that has stayed with me ever since, a lesson that continues to inspire me , and is still my guiding light. Jim Rohn told a story about a friend of his, a successful man who had a stock answer when anyone asked him what they needed to do to earn an above-average income .This answer was: Become an above - average person .Work on yourself .Develop an above-average handshake .Develop an above-average smile. Develop above-average skills, above- average passion ,an above -average walk -walks as if you were an apprentice millonaire'. And then in telling that story Jim Rohn spoke the words I believe can unlock the door to success for anyone thanks.
