Hi There, I'm Jonathan Chase, Jon to my friends.

Call me Jon.

Not so long back I was looking for a Personal Development, Self Help, Lifestyle Enhancement avenue for my mentoring and consultation skills and decided to direct that at my own 'baby boomer' generation and at Transforming that Generation's Mindset..

At our age - still not dead - we are too old for school, to young for drool and at some point we hit a mental and physical 'wall' we call middle age. When we do, loads of programming in our minds and bodies, and our society, comes into play and things start to change. And it happens to us not because of us, that creates a certain way of thinking known as a 'Mindset' which if just left to happen that can lead us to endure rather than experience what's left of our life.

But it needn't, because mindsets can be changed and bodies can be tuned. And Transforming Your Mindset shouldn't be a pain, it should be pleasure.

At Club 45-65 we bring you an Internet 'Gated Community' Network. We've developed Leisure Learning™ Events and Holidays to give you a Lifestyle with a Purpose; to get the most out of who you are and what you know. And because we know that it all begins and ends in the mind and body we give you the skills to complete mind and body freedom so you become interested and interesting again.

Having been extremely lucky enough to have worked with all sorts of people, my partner in business and life Jane and I made a couple of phone calls to some experts in their fields of Mind Body fitness, Business, the Internet and Energy Psychology, all of whom are also exemplary hypnotists and tutors, and who, like it or not, are all of the generation called middle aged. You can meet the Club45-65 Team here.

We got together and have created a unique service to facilitate and to act as a catalyst for people who are seeking to enhance their experience and get more from their lifestyle based entirely on my personal insistence that it must be fun, fast and effective.

I know like me you don't need either therapy nor overt evangelism, you don't mind being entertained and educated but you don't need to be lectured or healed. So our approach is probably for you but not for everyone so before you join in and begin to experience life from a different perspective please allow me the time to explain exactly what it is we do and where we come from...

Having worked in and around the world of 'Personal Development', Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistics, Energy Psychology and Entertainment for most of my adult life, I have heard the same question over and over and over again;

"What's in it for me?"

And I mostly hear that from a group I share a lot with, that generation who have been there, done it, washed the logo off the tee shirt. People for whom a 'Goal' is something you kick a ball into, a 'Strategy' is something politicians lie about, 'Benefits' are what lazy people take from our pockets, 'Spiritual' is akin to masturbation and something you do on your own feeling a bit guilty about and 'Success', if they get asked to define it at all, is what they got and now wonder why they bothered.

I have met loads of people who are PLU - People Like Us - People who are at a time in life when things begin to physically change, everyone in uniform begins to look and act like a twelve years old, the kids appear to have entered an alternate reality and when we decide it's time to take account of life and decide what to do with the rest of it, we either jump straight into doing nothing and retire and get old, or just simply carry on doing what we've done to keep what we have because there appears to be no alternative.

Occasionally for the look of the thing we make an effort to 'Do Something About It' and attend a modern Evangelist seminar, sorry a Success Event, where PLU spend a lot of time feeling mildly embarrassed at and wondering what the point is of all the jumping around, walking very quickly over fires or smashing bits of wood or bricks and trying to hide the pain… and of course chanting things like, "We are leaders not sheep!" at the exact same time as several thousand other people, and hugging strangers.

I'm talking about the people who leave personal development events with a certainty that the best thing to do, is to do nothing. Or join a gym and go once. Or re-read the life changing book at bed time in small easily forgotten chunks. Or go on holiday for a few days to get over the thing.

I'm also talking about those of us who don't think as old as we are, or dream as young as we were.

Now, being involved in developing solutions does not make you immune from the situation and, like everyone else does, I hit that Age Wall.

That time when you double your age and can't really see yourself getting there with a semblance of sanity, and although I was quite successful, I knew and felt that what I wanted to do was work less, maintain or better my lifestyle and have more time to do what I wanted to do. A good trick when every day seems to be passing quicker than a Bugatti Veyron driven by Jeremy Clarkson on speed.

Truth is that I really don't need to break out of my comfort zone. What I really want is to go on holiday for life while getting someone else to enjoy and pay for it and for both of us to get something more out of it than caramelised skin and yet more bulge to fight. To get what I call FISH, that's Fulfilment Inspiration Satisfaction and Happiness.

I then did the attending loads of telseminars, webinars, events and joined loads of forums where the hapless get told what to do by the hopeless and where most people either spend all their time selling you stuff or giving you quotes from people for whom an Internet was what happened when two trawlers got entangled off the coast of Ireland and the World Wide Web was a difficult to cure Arachnophobes nightmare.

I couldn't find anything that gave me what I want to give you, so I founded Club45-65. If you resonate with anything I have said here, then join us. And let's get More out of life.
