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.
This week I tweeted, how I was annoyed.. because someone I help, and have helped a lot previously… hasn’t been responsive and not helped me when I needed it!
Lesson learnt…. don’t help them in the future! But in all seriousness… I shouldn’t give all my attention to those who annoy me.
This week, I was invited to give a talk about Leadership at the CIO London Event.
It was a fab event, thoroughly enjoyed it… and sharing one of the slides as my Friday thought…
I’ve had my fair share of failures – but that’s how I’ve learnt… when it’s not happening, when you’re experiencing frustration – remember… it’s a lesson and a road for success.
Been having some great conversations lately – and also reflecting on myself. I think I’m a nice guy – and if you know me, I believe you’d agree I am – however, am I so nice… that I would avoid conflict? – on some occasions, maybe.
But then the question is – how can you win without fighting….
Sometimes (and I’m guilty of this) doing too many things at once.
Bal’s Kitchen, my Football, and numerous other extra-curricular activities… are on my list of things to do. But recently, I decided… I’ll cut a few things and really focus…
