Dilemma
I have a 19 year old son who lacks motivation and direction and doesn’t know what he wants to do except play golf. What can I do to help him?
Relish says:
Is he any good at golf? If so encourage him. Maybe he could find work with a golf club where he can be associated with something that interests him. We should always encourage our young people to follow their passion, particularly where sport is concerned.
Also many youngsters are not able to talk to their parents, so who would he feel comfortable talking to, and encourage that.
It is worth knowing that we all communicate in different ways and being able to understand the differences can really help your relationship with your son. Look for anyone who is trained as a Master Practitioner in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) will be able to talk about the differences and explain how you can talk more effectively.

Dilemma
I have just recently turned 30 and moved to London in November and originally the idea was to start my own company when I got here.
I found a job to pay the rent and now 4 months later I have come to the realisation that I haven’t moved very far forward in what I wanted to do and found I was going to work and coming home quite tired.
I have just been given the opportunity to go and have a winter season of fun ski-ing and I wondered what I should do – should I just get on with what I planned to do, or should I go ski-ing and push back my plans?
Relish says:
Life's far too short and 30 is still very young! Whatever your business idea is, it will still be there when you get back, and opportunities like this are not going anywhere, and 4 months not long to get the idea off the ground. You could meet your future wife, business partner, someone who funds you, who knows where it might take you.
Use any spare time to plan your business – get it down on paper and write it down be, all your ideas and keep it and just keep adding to it coz at some stage you will flick back it will be that the idea will be presented to you at a time when it is more suitable. It maybe that your original idea changes.
