Launched 19th January 2009

This incredible new book by Allison Maslan reached the much-coveted top spots in Amazon’s best-seller lists since it’s launch just three days ago!

Blast Off! is a truly powerful book that will really inspire you to grab your dreams and make them a reality. I was delighted to have been gifted the opportunity to review this book for Allison and would love to share my thoughts with you in the following review …

Blast Off! by Allison Maslan

The lure of reviewing a book which promised me a “surefire success plan to launch your dreams into reality” was just too strong to resist, with a bright, sparkling new decade creeping up on me rapidly. Opening up the package from Allison was a wonderful surprise – I certainy didn’t expect such a substantial-sized glossy book and a quick flick through found me cooing with pleasure at the graphics and clean, simple layout throughout.  There was something so reassuring about the weight (forgive me, I adore books and really appreciate the beauty of a quality printed book!) but the rocket images silently assured me that it was going to be a really fun process.

“Dreams are gifts of the soul. We need to make every effort to cherish them, to live them. Otherwise they only surface in our sleep. A soulful life is an awakening and actualizing of our deepest dreams within.” ~ Allison Maslan

So Allison’s “Blast Off” book begins with this powerful quote. With so much information contained in one package, I thought the only way to really get the feel of how Blast Off! could help with my own life – and develop my own flight plan – would be to work through the book slowly and surely.

Allison opens her heart in the Introduction, sharing her story with you: her courage and determination shines through, which really inspired me to reflect on my own life path and consider how I could step forward to create my own reality with her help.

Blast Off! is an incredible book which could better be described as a life-manual. Allison covers a variety of areas in life where there is always room for improvement, so this truly is a BOOK FOR LIFE. You can always dip in and out of sections as your life changes, ever-flowing towards new opportunities, new dreams.

I loved the Big Picture Vision Board, thrilled to bits with my own. Blast Off! also walks you through very easy steps to achieve your dreams, breaking down your vision into bite-size chunks meaning that no dream is impossible. You feel nurtured and cared for by Allison, as she steps out from the pages of Blast Off! and helps you to figure out exactly what you want from life – and how you can get it.

My personal favourites were:
Chapter 1 – Blast Off! to a life of passion and meaning
Chapter 2 – Blast Off! to soulful living
Chapter 3 – Blast Off! to limitless living
Chapter 8 – Blast Off! to adventure and amusement

I will be working through this book for a long time, believe me! So if you have always wondered what life coaching was all about but had been a little wary of finding your own life coach to work with, I really do recommend Blast Off! with all my heart as a starting point … an invaluable guide at a gem of a price, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the treasures you will unearth as you work through this book and watch your life transform.

Blaststation is also an amazing concept, where for a very small monthly fee you can access a unique life-coaching software program which is web-based (so no downloads) which is interactive with some great tools and the perfect way to access life-coaching from the comfort of your own home, accompanied by the Blast Off! book.

I truly believe this book will be an invaluable tool for absolutely everyone – and anyone – who feels stuck in life but has a dream. I will be recommending this to all of my clients and really look forward to watching my dreams take shape as I use my Sun-Up Script™, Rocket Words™ and Mini Feats™ on a daily basis.

Go on … be brave, be fearless and create your new life with Blast Off!

Find Your Purpose

By Allison Maslan, author of Blast Off! The Surefire Success Plan to Launch Your Dreams into Reality

As you set out to find your purpose, or first commit to living a life of purpose, what drives you may still feel a bit elusive. Many people have no idea if they have a real purpose on earth. Ask a friend randomly what their life purpose is, and they may take a long pause before answering, “Good question. I’m not sure.” Well, I’m here to tell you (and them) that you do have a purpose and it’s probably not as mysterious as you think.

Most likely its right under your nose. Maybe your purpose is to feed hungry children, build a gigantic bridge, love your children, or just be in the moment. Your life purpose is most likely connected to the areas that create passion and meaning in your life. Here are some simple steps for accessing your life purpose.

Get in touch with what really matters to you in the world and in your life. What do you get passionate talking about, reading or exploring? Before taking impulsive action steps toward a new career, business opportunity, or new relationship, ponder what gives you that inner surge of excitement. This could be the most important key for long-term staying power and success.

Gather your thoughts and focus your energy toward these ideas. Find a way to involve yourself in this activity.

Explore several possibilities before settling on one. However, if one really moves you, then go for it!

Connect with other people on a regular basis who are passionate about these ideals or activities.

See how you feel in this new arena. Does it stir your Secret Spark energy? This is what we call “alignment,” or “being congruent.” When we are expressing our true inner thoughts, beliefs and ideals through external actions that match those thoughts, beliefs and ideals, we are operating in harmony rather than in conflict. The “practice-what-you-preach” philosophy.

Not doing what you love could be very harmful to your health and your prosperity. Most people think that doing what you love is a luxury, so they settle for something they don’t enjoy. Someone who loves your career more than you do will no doubt perform the job better than you. This person will eventually be greatly rewarded because this work matters to them. Part of what you’ll get from being out of alignment in your work is dissatisfaction and burnout.

In my new book Blast Off! The Surefire Success Plan to Launch Your Dreams into Reality, you will be guided to find your purpose in life. The book is set to release in this month!
