I don’t think I’ve ever flown too high… Then I stopped and realised I needed to give myself some more credit. I joined the Royal Navy which at the time appeared completely out of character to everyone else around me. I just thought it was a good way to earn a decent wage, make some friends…
A strange day that got off to a good start… until I was disappointed by some news about an opportunity and I started the downward spiral of discontent, one that would normally cripple me for days… or even weeks. This day though – I decided. I decided to message a friend who might have some knowledge…
A glorious early September day. Mid to high 20’s with not a breath of wind. We knew it was coming, so I cleared my schedule to have a Covid-Safe day out with Mum and Nan. That’s the beauty of being able to work for yourself. To take those opportunities for spending time doing things that…
A few weeks ago I blogged about the mastermind group I have been a part of for over a year… Here we are in action on our weekly call. 10X’ing the discussion on how we might 10X our endeavours. 6 different specialisations, spanning 7 time zones and 60 minutes of endless possibilities… Now it’s…
I have been reading Natives by Akala, where he describes the complete uselessness of the education system in the UK. And I could not agree more. He cites Ken Robinson who asserted that, “… our schools do indeed, for the most part, kill creativity.” This fascinated me, so I headed over to YouTube to look for the…
After having a major falling out with all thing’s social media this week… I have had a major breakthrough… Social Media is not about Work. It tricks you into thinking it is, but that just ain’t so. Do we go to a gathering of friends and have analytical conversations about The Work? No, we chat…
I have been hearing this phrase more and more and I even said it myself. I filled my day with lots of online calls with the intention of finding connection and purpose. Then when I got fatigued, I blamed it on the calls. When in reality, they might not have been the root cause. We…
There have been some terrible consequences for UK students in the fallout of the lockdown from COVID. And if they haven’t had enough to deal with, an algorithm has significantly disadvantaged countless students as they progress to the next phase of their education. Now, I’m no fan of our current approach to education or the…
Today was an important day… I had been agonising over this decision for weeks and was worried about the outcome… well both outcomes really. Do nothing or do something… It was one of those, well it could go either way. But if I do nothing then I know nothing changes and the likelihood of failure is more…
What do you do when your hero falls from grace? I’ve realised I’m in a bit of a “my hero has fallen” hangover. The reality of what is happening is my hero is doing what every rational businessperson does in times of crisis – protects the investment of staff, resources and income. We all got…
