We are all control freaks! 

Whether we like it not, it's a reality that we grow into if we choose the continual personal development path. 

Our need for control is a part of survival, part of growth, part of life! The varying degrees to how we allow our desire for control, to effect our lives and the lives of others around us, varies between people. 

So we need it, it's positive, it supports us and it's vital...

However, are we trying to control what is our of our control? Now that is futile!

Are we trying to control everything.... good luck with that! 

Enjoy the musing, let us know your thoughts!

Interesting musing today....

One of self reflection, together with the deeper understanding and separation of 'we are not what we choose to do' and yet 'we can become who we choose to be'. There is no guarantee that who we are becoming and what we are choosing are good things. 

It doesn't mean we are not deserving of love! 

think about it...

Three simple swim lanes, for you to map out your lead generation ideas and give you the best opportunity to organise and structure the logical process behind the emotional decision making that is a 'buying process'. 

Notice I said, buying process not selling process, because, all sales is about understanding and implementing good buying processes for your audience, your prospects, your customers. 

Give it a go...map out some ideas in each of these three key areas and let us know how you get on, get in touch and let's talk it through. Give us the opportunity to add value to you and see where it takes us. 

Enjoy.

A simple and yet powerful principle to carry forward and review regularly in your business. 

All three are important and normally, one effects the other, but are you considering all three when you need to. 

Take a listen.

Ever had this...where something has happened, that literally took up ten seconds of your time, ten minutes maybe, and you chose to hold onto it all day and allowed it to ruin your day!  

That is a choice, and our superpower (or one of them!) is choice!   

If the subject today resonate with you and you want to learn how to deal with this stuff better, I can highly recommend Angie Hayes, I mention her in the episode, here are her details.

Let's see if the 'judgers' get involved and comment without listening or engaging in the content! 

OK so the title may be a little provocative in its title, but the reality is very much one of choice. I would love to hear your thoughts, views and how you utilised speaking as part of your marketing mix.

I can't believe I reached my mid 40's before I had heard of this, but what a simple and yet powerful principle, used in sport, that applies in all aspects of life. 

Do you know the acronym for BIG?

A term used in rugby coaching and training, a simple and powerful principle we can all apply.

'Not all plans, go to plan!' 

In military terms 'A plan fails at the first contact with the enemy'  

Two things I heard Bear Grylls say in an interview recently that resonated with me.   We talk about plans all the time, it's part of the business DNA, however, we are sensible to the approach that a plan isn't fixed and rigid, it's fluid, it's evolving, it changes!   We have to be adaptable to that and acknowledge our progress along the way...we don't all smash through things, most of us are moving forward by stumbling purposefully.   

Gaining experience, confidence, evidence along the way that we can do this!

Isn't it interesting that you hear a phrase that you've not heard before and then you hear it, see it and notice it everywhere! That is an interesting part of the brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in action - a whole other podcast episode right there. 

Todays subject though is about Self Compassion. One of those phrases that I hadn't heard much, then suddenly, boom, its everywhere. I wanted to understand it more and encourage you too also. 

As mentioned in the episode, Dr Kristin Neff, who is an authority on this subject. A professor of psychology from Austin, Texas & an author of two books on the this subject. You can find out more about Dr Neff and the 3 elements of Self Compassion here: https://self-compassion.org/the-three-elements-of-self-compassion-2/

Enjoy the episode, I hope it helps.

Here's a simple process for us all. One that we have no doubt gone through many times but not recognised it as a process that leads to success, that help us overcome challenges, that help us dig deep into our own resource bank and make good stuff happen. 

Enjoy this musing and comment, share with your examples of how you have overcome things that you didn't believe you could or would at the time.
