He is someone who is committed to helping others find a way of doing the work that they love and who gives incredibly generously of his time to help make this happen. With this in mind, he has created the Inspired Entrepreneurs' Club so that he can share ideas, information, support and encouragement with everyone who is dreaming of changing to a career that they will love.

Join the Inspired Entrepreneurs' Club
I have to say that I think membership of the Inspired Entrepreneurs' Club is one of the best deals I have come across. He has set up a Club specifically for people who want to find work that really feels true to them, that comes from the heart and is a way of really giving something back to the world. Quite simply, he wants to help you to discover the work you were born to do and to find career inspiration for the future of your working life. He does this by hosting regular speaker events, running teleseminars, providing mp3 recordings of talks, You can also access mentoring workshops, coaching and training.
There are two main levels of membership
The Premium level, which allows you to have access to speaker events they run for free, as well as an mp3 download afterwards if you couldn't get to the event; free monthly teleseminars with experts and access to an online social network with over 1000 inspired entrepreneurs. You'll also get steep discounts on related products, workshops, and coaching. Premium membership is £12.99pm – but see the Amazing Offer below. The Silver level is designed for people outside the UK or who know they will not be able to get to the workshops. Basically you get everything that the premium level members get except the free admission to talks. Silver level membership is £4.99pm – but see the Amazing Offer below.
An Amazing Offer But if you would like to just have a taster before you commit, then you can sign up for a one month trial membership for just £1. So if you grab your membership today you'll get all the great benefits mentioned above and save £11.99!
There really is no catch to this. You do not get tied in - you can cancel your membership whenever you like if you decide it is not for you. You will be able to access all the mp3 recordings of the evening talks for free, free entry to talks, and tons and tons more of high quality information, help and support, all for just £1... I have no idea how long this offer will run for... So head over there now by clicking this link So the worst thing that can possibly happen is that you give them £1, download all the material, go to some evening events, meet some great people, learn loads, get a dose of real career inspiration and then at the end of your month, cancel as you felt it was not for you. All you have lost is £1... This offer may go at any time due to it being so popular. Make a decision and get over there now!
Download Nick's free e-course
As I have already mentioned, I think Nick's book, The Work We Were Born To Do, is a great place to start. But another way of getting a flavour of Nick's approach is to access his free ecourse Discover the Work You Were Born To Do. Nick is on an ambitious mission to get the essence of his message - that we can all create successful businesses around work we LOVE - out to as many people as possible... ... and in order to do so, he's turned his signature book into a fantastic e-course. This is a 9 part multi-media course which includes... - A new vision for work
- The essence of the work you were born to do
- How to beat your resistance
- Being a portfolio worker
- The four major business types
- Tackling the objections and obstacles
- Progressing from employee to Inspired Entrepreneur
As it is a multimedia e-course, you can either read each edition as it arrives, or you can close your eyes and use the audio to let Nick talk you through his step-by-step approach. I find the second option refreshing when you've been staring at a computer screen for a little too long! If you are not sure if Nick is for you, then just download this free ecourse and find out. I am sure you will feel inspired by the end of it!

Uncovering The Miraculous You Art Giser Date: 8th March 2012 at 19:15pm Venue: International Students House, London. At the heart of each of us is a wonderful wholeness, which is powerful, loving, creative and abundantly joyful. This self gets hidden and even buried underneath layers of programming and beliefs that we have inherited and absorbed throughout our life. When we don't address this programming, we can easily end up feeling like we are living someone else's life rather than our own hearts desires. But our inner self remains intact and as we can clear away the old programming, conditioning and patterns we can begin to reveal the miraculous being that we really are. During this mini-workshop, Art Giser (founder of Energetic NLP) and Nick will guide you through some very simple and powerful exercises to help you access the miraculous you which is waiting at your very core.
