An inspirational Professional Speaker, Thought Mentor and Author, Col openly shares the beliefs he now lives by: ¿ You cannot do something you are not ¿ You act and behave in accordance with your subconscious thoughts ¿ All meaningful and sustainable change starts on the inside and works its way out ¿ Everything is possible unless you believe otherwise ¿ You will never receive or achieve anything you don't feel worthy of ¿ The place that comforts you is the place which imprisons you ¿ You can talk yourself into doing anything you want to - anything at all ¿ Nothing (and no-one) can make you change unless you choose to change
