Sometimes, we feel we need everything now. Or as soon as possible. And when we don’t get it… we start to ask a series of questions – a bit of 5 Why Analysis….
When all we sometimes need is a little patience.
We need to reflect. Understand. And progress. Keep moving. Don’t stop…. Keep pushing and delivering. And if you’re good enough… (taken from Gary V.)
There’s a few things that Covid-19 Lockdown has taught us… in fact, it’s accelerated some things that were coming.
The evolution of the employee.
How we work.
And we’ve been able to evolve due to technology but also a shift in the mindset. A shift in thinking that is allowing us to add more value and be more productive.
Two examples I’d like to share,
That’s what it is about, right? – Learn, Think… Apply.
Would be great to hear example you may have, in terms of how you’re becoming an employee of the future…
Sometimes I can be impatient. I want to work on things quickly. Figure out if they work or not. Lean startup methodology type of thinking.
And today’s Friday thought comes to you with some humour…
Sometimes, you just gotta get up and do it! We can easily think of excuses to delay…. do it tomorrow…. and you never end up doing it!
As you know, I love the content that Gary Vee puts out… and the below is my Friday Thought. Don’t delay, Do it Today!
It’s all about results, right? – a lot of people talk…. we can do this, we can do that… etc… but the important thing is being able to show it.
Be able to prove it… rather than promise.
Under promise – over deliver.
I remember a key thing that My friend James Caan (former Dragons Den) shared with me…. he said, ‘Bal… don’t always follow the crowd’.
It’s true. Should forge your own path. Make a difference. Do something new. Show the world a new way of working… just like how Tesla became the most valuable car maker in the world. By not following the crowd and the norm of the combustion engine.
There’s so many people I knew, when I was younger, who worked 9 til 5, 5 days a week… for all of their. Until retirement.
I always, from a young age… thought that was crazy! Imagine 40+ years… doing the same thing… maybe a little variety… for such a long time! Well… it works for some! Some like that life. And maybe, they are happy with it, and that’s absolutely fine!
For me however… I like to keep learning. Keep pushing…. Keep editing,
How crazy are you? Ok… let me re-phrase, how much self-believe do you have? – I’ll be honest, there’s times when I have little self-belief…. but then I re-programme myself and think differently. Not easy for sure… but there’ll be situations, occurrences, times… in your life that should enable you to believe you can do anything in life.
Whilst we’re all (well, most of us in the World) are under some sort of ‘lockdown’, I’m sure many of us are thinking… what can we do?!
Well… I’m sure we’ve all had an idea at some point or another, but either not had the time or the money… or another excuse to put it into motion.
Well…. why not start small (i.e. no money)… and you now have time! Take some motivation form my Friday Thought image… these guys started in their garages, sheds…. and look what happened…. All you need, is a little bit of space, time and some motivation…….
Well… this week has been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions.
I won’t go into the reasons why… just a variety of things going on. A lot which, I’ve been slightly disappointed with…but you know what, it’s me who’s in control of my destiny.
