Motivational

When I started martial arts as a kid, because my parents made me, I thought it was pointless. Stretching = boring! Memorisation of movement.

We often get criticised for looking for problems. But if we don’t find them, how can we solve them? Many call this being negative. And it’s not in-line with being present, mindfulness, or practicing gratitude.

Those who don't know, I've done my fair share of Target Shooting. I got involved in the sport when I was living in the country on my lifestyle block.

How often have you been asked the question, who are you and what do you do? That’s the question I get asked a lot especially in my industry, and to be honest this is the question I loathe the most.

If you can’t grow up - grow out! Walt Disney said “dream, diversify and never miss an angle.” Diversification - the act, or art, of increasing the range of products offered in similar of different fields.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember - gathering tennis balls off roofs, wheeler and dealer of antique keys and knocking on doors to cut peoples lawns, before asking if I could use their lawnmower.

Putting it off, putting it off, putting it off. Why is it we put off so many jobs until a deadline nears and then, miraculously, we get it done? It’s easy to do the easy thing first - so we do. But it’s the tasks that feel tricky, ambiguous or too big that often give us the greatest gain.

Why does it seem that we need to move mountains just to get things achieved when we are un-motivated? Some days I struggle with staying motivated and others I am right onto it.

The definition of paying-it-forward is the opposite of payback. It is repaying someone’s act of kindness to you by an act of kindness to someone else.
