Failure

Most of us dislike failure...especially in public.We aim short so we stay safe.That's an ok option but you( and others) are missing out. Aim big,be ambitious with your targets and go public with them.It forces you to think creatively,collaborate with others and persevere.If you ultimately fall a bit short it's only the ego that suffers.You will have exceeded the short/soft target & been innovative/creative in the process.

Sticking with it!

Many of you will know that I've been involved in marathon running/fundraising through the www.getinvolved.biz project. I decided to focus all my energy & attantion on that...hence my longer than usual absence from this blog! It's been a 6 month committment which I'm glad I've done...never again! The training & running has provided many rich metaphores for life & business etc. I looked like one of those people who simply should not be running at all. I developed a stabbing pain in my hip at about 20 miles. That's when a really good reason why is needed. Crossing the line with my sister is s pretty powerful reason to carry on.I'm now speaking around the country about the parallels between life/marathon etc...I WILL post more regularly!!
