I’m a former tier 1 management consultant, specialising in supply chain and business re-engineering and after many years of burning the candle at both ends, I had my own ‘life changing moment’ in my early 40’s that helped me realise I need to take stock of one thing ... me.
As a first time Dad moving from my 30’s to 40’s I was solely focussed on providing for my family, generating income and in a loose sense, building the business to a point where it might turn into a bigger something.
But I was doing it all wrong as a solo operator.
1, 2, skip a few (and a medical emergency in there or 2).
I made the changes, took stock. Started with 1 step, then a 2nd. Had set backs, side steps, eff it moments, and in time became a bit selfish, because I needed to.
You see, I had to put myself 1st. Otherwise, how the hell would I be in a position to put others first if I couldn’t even look after … me.
Let’s fast forward a bit and to where I am today and why this podcast.
And why I call it The Long Game.
