Very sad to hear that multiple English Channel Swimmer Anne Cleveland has passed away at the young age of 61. Anne was a big influence on my preparation to swim The English Channel in 2007. She inspired many people with her amazing achievements ๐ RIP Anne https://t.co/c40vxNq5eI

At 06:49 Hrs. on Tuesday July 10, 2007, I stepped into the frigid waters of The English Channel at Samphire Hoe near Dover, to set off on a journey I had first planned some 27 years earlier. The aim was to become one of the few people in history to swim the "Mount Everest" of swims - The English Channel.
This was a swim I had trained my entire life for, but the secret to achieving success, the philosophy of achieving your goals, had only been given to me a few weeks previously by none other than the then "Queen of The Channel" Alison Streeter.
The advice she gave me that day, has helped not only me, but many people I have coached since, to achieve their goals.
๐ It was such simple advice, but so extremely effective, I felt it important to document, so with the help of Kyle Wilson, I included it in a book Kyle was releasing which became an International #1 Bestseller:

๐บ On board the pilot boat that day, and on a smaller boat which circled around me all day, was a film crew from "Dangerous Films Ltd" filming a TV documentary for the Discovery Channel called "Human Body: Pushing the Limits". The documentary was nominated for a Emmy at the 60th annual Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awards in 2008, only losing out to "Battlestar Galactica":

๐ค Through Kyle, I met Roy Smoothe and we turned this amazing philosophy into a song. This song featured on a "Success Mindset" Album which also hit #1 on the Amazon charts:

At 20:41 Hrs. on July 10, 2007, 13 hours and 52 minutes after I left England, I stepped ashore in Wissant, France, to become only the 853rd person in history to swim The English Channel, raising over ยฃ16,500 for two local Bury St Edmunds charities.
I couldn't have done it without my amazing crew, especially Beccy who didn't take her eyes off me all day. But especially, I could not have done it without knowing this simple, life changing philosophy.
Buy the book, listen to the song, watch the DVD. I am positive it will help you achieve all of your life goals, whatever they may be as well as helping us continue raising money for St. Nicholas' Hospice in Bury St Edmunds. ๐๐
