Trent365

Sabbaticals are extended periods of paid leave, often granted to University Professors, Clergymen, etc.

And whilst most of us probably won't have the luxury of getting paid for this extended leave, the broad concept of 'taking a sabbatical' might be a smart thing to do right now.

The world is on pause right now. So your colleagues and peers will won't be able to leapfrog you in the career queue. And it'll be really easy to explain that gap in your CV a few years from now.

So...IF you can sustain yourself financially for a year or so, why not take your sabbatical now?

PS: This is not Ep. 997 (as I mentioned at the start of the video, but actually Ep. 996. Sorry. :-(

In times of uncertainty, fear is often foremost in our minds.

Fear of losing your job and not knowing when your next pay day will come will of course inform your purchasing decisions.

At a time like this, such fear will lead many to defer non-essential purchases of products and services.

But what if you offered a Lose Your Job Warranty?

Buy from us now but if you subsequently lose your job, we will offer you a full refund. No questions asked.

Directly addressing the fears of your customers is the only way to help overcome them.

Perhaps the most important element of success is understanding why that particular form of success is important to you.

If you don't understand the Why, you can spend your whole life striving for success and then ultimately achieving it...and still not be happy.

So, once you'e sorted out What success looks like for you, ask yourself...

'Why is that success important to me?'

#success #why #achieve

If success to you is winning Olympic Gold or being the richest woman in the world, then yes, success IS a Zero-Sum Game.

But most of us don't live in that world.

For most of us, our success is not predicated on someone else's failure.

Once you realise this, you open the door to partnerships and collaborations.

With that, you have the opportunity to achieve even bigger and better results.

Think Tanks are usually seen as a place for the best and brightest minds.

Thought Leaders and Industry Experts coming together to offer solutions.

Great idea. Great Concept.

But they don't have to be such a high level endeavour.

You can get together with a few people from your industry or local area or business network and form your own Mini-Think Tank to solve the problems that deeply and immediately impact you.

Your Mini-Think Tank doesn't have to be restricted to your industry either.

Bring in those from complementary industries, or even across totally disparate industries.

You might be pleasantly surprised what you can achieve.
