About Us - or, just who is Helene Malmsio?
Well, every site needs an About Us page, and this site is no exception. Especially since I am creating this site full of how to do it tips and training guides, it would be helpful for you to find out if I have any idea what the heck I'm talking about, right?
Well, for one thing, I'll tell you now that as a woman born in the late 1950's I clearly have a few miles on the odometer, and being a Baby Boomer, I am one of those people who will usually try doing stuff myself before I call on experts to do stuff for me.
And as it happens, I have had a very eventful and busy life, including being married for 9 years to the ultimate DIY husband... together we even built a two story timber house with our bare hands and just a few basic handyman tools!
So I am the Queen of Self Help and traditional house & garden DIY - and I learned 99% of every skill I have out of books - which is also why I love to write and publish self help books myself nowadays!
My prodigious reading and applying what I learned, has made my life successful, fun and abundant.
Its fun to be smarter than the average Yogi Bear!
It is wonderfully self empowering to know you are self reliant, not dependent on the expertise of people like Contractors and Salesman that you have never met before and don't yet know if you can trust.
By learning how to do it yourself you have the inside knowledge, and then even if you don't want to personally DIY, you will at the least be better informed to make decisions and choices without being hoodwinked by unscrupulous operators.
Now I don't claim to know everything about everything DIY, but what I don't personally know, I'm going to get expert tips from people who DO know - which is why I named this page About US, as I will also introduce the other experts as they come on line here.
By the way, for a bit of a chuckle see ....
35 Things I Bet You Did Not Know about Helene Malmsio
Well, to continue the traditional About Me page, below here are some of the things I have learned how to do really well, or simply learned how NOT to do it!
I'll just break them into blocks for the time being and add content pages (and their links here) for each one later on... so the text with links will lead to a page with an actual explanation and photos if I have them, the rest of the entries are me "thinking out loud" as I plan to write the content for this site, so bear with me!

Selling handmade handicrafts at markets and in shops on consignment is another good way to make your hobbies self-funding.

Weight loss & Nutrition What can I say? Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt for every diet ever spoken or written about. So believe me, when I publish anything about diets for weight loss, I do know what I'm talking about. At the moment I'm still struggling with a bout of Thyroid issues, so stabilizing my weight is once again a problem for me, but the basic principles still apply.

At the start of 2014 I once again began to workshop my Tony Robbins "Personal Power II" program for 30 days, and I invited you to join along with me if you have the coaching program.
"I'm Reclaiming my Personal Power Again for 2014 "
In the next 30 days I'll talk in detail about the goals and actions I'm taking, but in this introduction, lets just mention some of the things I'll be working on:
Week 1:
"Reclaiming My Personal Power - Sessions 1+2+3"
WARNING:
positive / negative associations and conditioning ahead!
"Reclaiming My Personal Power - Session 4"
Onward and Upward - session #4 has Interrupted my patterns!
"Reclaiming My Personal Power - Session 5"
Managing
my State means less time and energy spent needlessly having my
knickers in a knot!
Week 2:
Reclaiming My Personal Power in 2014 - Session 6
Using Empowering Q&A today! ... No more endless-loop limiting questions for this little black duck!
I've
got to say, this is one of my favourite session days, because it is all
about how to mentally change your state to improve the way you feel
Reclaiming My Personal Power in 2014 - Session 7 & 8
Discovering what is your own Hierarchy of Values helps you to work out what are the drivers in what you do in life. Most of life is spent trying to avoid
Reclaiming My Personal Power in 2014 - Session 9 + 10
ITS TIME! ...To get back on track, Helene!
Well,
the summer heatwave and some of the usual ass-hattery going on delayed
me a bit on the last two sessions for last week, but I'm back on track
here.
Week 3:
Reclaiming My Personal Power RIGHT NOW - Session 11 + 12
Anchor Aweigh! Learning how to Anchor my Emotions to Positive States and an Attitude of Total Expectation!
Reclaiming My Personal Power RIGHT NOW - Session 13
Financial Mastery? I don't think I'll learn it in this session. Good for people who don't even realize they have mental beliefs that are holding them back, but not what I need at this stage of my financial education... moving on to session 14 pretty quickly here.
Reclaiming My Personal Power RIGHT NOW - Session 14
Unlocking Your Financial Genius: Are you a "Rich Bastard"?
This is the next session about Financial Mastery, and it talks about stopping your financial self-sabotage, so that you can move on to become more successful
Reclaiming My Personal Power RIGHT NOW - Session 15
Only Scaredy Cats are Afraid of Success!!!
So today Tony starts off asking if I am afraid of success... well, no, of course not... I want all the success I can create!
But this is not as obvious as we might think. Fear and adrenalin are helpful and useful to help us, save us from danger, and also as a tool to motivate ourselves into positive action.
Week 4: on the home stretch!
Reclaiming My Personal Power - Sessions 16 + 17
Self Sabotage - Unstoppable Confidence - Increasing Your Energy
Reclaiming My Personal Power - Sessions 18
I was on the home stretch of the last few days in this 30 day Personal Power II coaching program by Tony Robbins, when things got the better of me
Reclaiming My Personal Power - Session 19
Day 25 of the month long Personal Power II coaching is about to best deal with problems... because we will encounter problems that will require solving!
Reclaiming My Personal Power in 2014 - Session 20 - Conclusion
I personally believe that most successes in life come from simply showing up!!! Its true. How many people hear about courses, get given free invitations,
Needless to say, 2014 ended up being a totally amazing year, with so much achieved, and I even moved from my home of 21 years.
On the road to new adventures and actually having some fun and relaxation in my life again - wish me luck!

Well, now that we are approaching the last quarter of the year in 2015, I've decided its time for a COMEBACK!!
I'm coming out of retirement and launching myself back into the self help training and public speaking mode, along with publishing a whole new series of self help books for young adults.
Lets change this era from the 'information age' into the 'KNOWDLEDGE AGE' ... and begin with the kids!
They are our future, they need have the highest quality of self development training and Life Skills to be able to craft their best possible life and enhance this world.
Let's do it - who wants to join me on this new journey??
Drop me a line here and let's see how we can pool our skills and experience to help make the world a better place together.
Well, that is a good start to my long list of experience gained over 40 years of my learning to do it myself!
Below are the pages linking to the text references here. I'll be adding about 30 pages of more history about me and my experiences, to help show you why the heck I think I have anything to teach you - lol!
And if you know me well, and think that I have left out some useful skills here, or have a story to share about me - tell me about it in the submission box below and you get your own whole page on the site - thanks!
Here are the project experiences mentioned here in this About Us page
