How taking a holiday can help
I have asked this question before – are you struggling for ideas or dazzled by the opportunities that seem to be presenting themselves on every corner? I believe it is a really important question. If you are struggling for ideas – for clarity in your business or a way to increase your financial freedom – I believe that you will find it is because you are not spending enough time thinking about your business. Alternatively if you are dazzled by opportunities, maybe even overwhelmed – unsure which way to turn – then that maybe because you lack a clear vision for your business and a clear reason for doing it.

I must confess   I can’t believe how time has flown, it’s March, people, March! That means almost a third of the year has gone already! I was speaking with my mentor, Alan, the other day about feeling the “pressure” of so many opportunities and not having time enough to really pay attention to everything. I think on an unconscious level that set me thinking and as usual my unconscious provided the answer …. Read the rest of this entry

Its all bad news again apparently … bad weather all over the weekend … pensions not going to sustain us in our old age … nights are drawing in and we all miss the sun … just over postal strikes but still facing BA Christmas strikes …
its enough to make a sane person burst … all I see are opportunities and good news …. Read the rest of this entry

Today has been a wonderful and complete day - a mixture of personal development, great networking, amazing insights, deeper love for my family, and fireworks (well it is that time of year hee hee).

I started the day at Chris Howard Breakthrough to Success, it was brilliant to go back to the event and mix with amazing people … some old friends, crew mates and of course meet new people. As we don’t live that far from Hammersmith I asked Bob to drive me there and collect me in the evening to avoid parking. Around 6pm I received a text that suggested we head off to Battersea to see the fireworks – excellent idea.

While we were not too far, we had not accounted for the enormous volume of traffic !! London once again at its best … grid locked Bob expertly navigated his way through the jams but time was racing on and we found ourselves still on the north side of the river when the show started. What brillliant luck … we had a slow moving, warm and dry seat that enabled us to see the fireworks in all there glory.

In past years we have gone to the park – stood in the cold – peered through the smoke and even been rained on … this year we avoided the crowds. Although by accident ,it reminded me that following the crowds does not always produce the best results, sometimes taking a different view point can makes things clearer

All round a great Autumn, fireworks with friends and family, fireworks in the warm, foggy mornings, clear days and some brilliant rain storms – I love it

What did you do for fireworks or Halloween?

I woke up this morning with a profound thought … my life is made up or shaped by those things I believe … and my future will be all that I can imagine. I think that this realisation is the culmination of a week full of ‘messages’, thoughts and ideas. It is also all about choice. Read the rest of this entry

Today Bob told everyone at work that it was Happy Tuesday, he put a sign on his door and waited…. Read the rest of this entry

As I mentioned yesterday … I asked the caller to send a text message because I couldn’t hear. I was at the O2 Arena at the Andrew Reynolds Entrepreneur Bootcamp. I had just got back to my seat after a break. We had just finished listening to Chris Howard in the last set and where just about to listen to Tom Hau …. Read the rest of this entry

I love underwater photography, I am not sure what makes it so exciting, is it the new creatures you discover? the challenge of taking a good shot while floating, or resisting a current at depths up to 90 feet below the surface? is it the memories it brings back? Read the rest of this entry

It is quite difficult sometimes – with all the pressures we are under to be creative, reflective, inspirational. The hussle and bussle – the noise, the distractions. That is one of the reasons I love scuba diving Read the rest of this entry
