10 Ways to MOT your life 

Lifestyle Editor ZOE CHAMBERLAIN from the Sunday Mercury talks to Richard Bisiker of Personal Summits Executive Coaching, based in Penkridge, Staffordshire, about how to give yourself a 'life MOT' to boost your success. 

 

1 ACCEPT THAT IF YOU WANT 1 A LOT OF CHANGE, YOU'LL HAVE TO CHANGE A LOT 

 

Richard says: "People believe they can tweak little things about their lives to make a big difference. But these "little things" will simply come back to the surface and you will probably revert to your old behaviour. What we are comes from our beliefs and values. You have to decide what are your values and beliefs on personal success?" 

 

2 BECOME AWARE OF YOUR PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOUR 

 

"Look at what you've done in st. Do you get bored in your job and move on every couple of years? Do you like routines? Do you get stressed if your routine is broken? Find out what your style is and begin to understand yourself more and what works for you."
