What Inspires You?



Inspiration is a critical part of life. It gives us strength, courage, compassion as well as helps us to generate ideas on what to make, what to do, how to behave and who to be in business and in life.


The Winter Olympics started a few days ago. Many people are inspired by truly spectacular athletes who compete. Others, like me, are not. (I really just don’t like sport!!). We can be inspired in different ways. By nature, by music, by other people, by companies, by children, by art, by theatre, the list goes on.


What is important is to know what kind of things inspire you and then make time to seek out inspiration – not just wait for it to come to you.


So what inspires you?

Nothing Changes



Have you noticed how if nothing changes, nothing changes?


I know it’s a bit obvious, but sometimes it is up to us to change a situation.


For example, I have been writing a proposal for the last week or so and have been struggling. I just couldn’t get in to it. So I decided a change of geography would shift my mindset. I took my sexy new netbook to a shopping centre and did the majority of the work in a couple of hours. A simple change got me over my mental block.


What about you? What simple changes can you make when you are stuck – a geographical change (even if it is just changing desks), a physical change (go for a walk) or a mental change (call someone else and ask how they are and don’t mention your stuff)?


Next time you get stuck, try something different – you have to make the change happen sometimes.


Enjoy!

Can you Believe it?

It is February already – can you believe it?

One month down and 11 to go (that’s 8.3% of the year gone). So are you 8.3% along the path of your goals? Have you met 8.3% of your annual targets? For many of us, this month has flown by. I am sure that many people will say “I was on vacation”, “business is slow in Jan”, “the tennis was on” or some other observation about January and what they are doing. These are valid points, but they are not the point I want to make.

My point is to remind you that “How we live our days is how we live our life”.

  • If you are not 8.3% along the path of this year’s objectives, what can you do about it today?
  • If you are not showing the kind of attributes you want people to be saying about you on your 80th birthday, what can you do today?
  • If you are not being the person you want to be in the world, what can you do about it today?

Can you belive how easy it is to have a fantastic life? Simply start by having a fantastic day.

Enjoy!

Don’t just DO something, Sit there!

It has been a scorcher of a day here in Melbourne. To escape the heat, I thought I would sit outside in my back yard and just enjoy the cool change.


I have been privileged to witness an amazing light and sound show. The sun is reflecting off the low cloud and changing colours from orange and amber through to pinks with cloud whisps being different gradients. Meanwhile, the breeze is rustling through the nectarine tree as the neighbours cat prowls through the yard giving me the “what the hell are you doing sitting on your back step” look.


I could have taken a photo but it changes so much, it’s not the same. But you may have seen something similar at some other time. It is not the vista that I wanted to share anyway, but the moment.


It’s been a hot day. I have been thinking about things I have on this week, thinking about a friend who has just ended a relationship, another recovering from surgery, family who have just moved house, how knackered I feel in the heat….. you know, a typical day. Taking the time to just step outside and sit here has been fabulous. I am taking the time to be a human being

Doing this has forced me into the moment where I can see that life is ok. Not life and everything will be ok but it already is ok. Things are great! I have some amazing things happen in my life, I have some amazing people around me (particularly wifey!) and some fabulous opportunities are happening. It is fantastically refreshing to be present and sit and appreciate my surroundings.


What about you?


Sometimes you need to remember the age old truth. Don’t just do something, sit there!

Get More Success

Everyone loves success.  We continue to strive for it, however you measure it!  The way to continue your success is to make it a habit.  I am of the firm belief that if you make celebrating success a habit, success becomes a habit.

Trade Shows and Expos, like any business, are full of their ups and downs.  They depend on many people and they are hard, but enjoyable work. 

The video below was recorded for Broker TV – a site for mortgage brokers.  The message given is as relevant for exhibitors as it is for brokers.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

How is your Copy and Pasting?

I see many people who are masters at Cut and Paste. But it is not their documents they are cut and pasting, it is themselves!

  • They read management books and do exactly what they say.
  • They hear jokes and tell them as if they are their own.
  • They go on management training and try and be exactly like the training examples.
  • They read biographies and try to be like the heroes they idolise.

Lots of copying and pasting.

Don’t get me wrong. I am a big fan of training, biographies, books and jokes. But I am a bigger fan of authenticity.

Use the training, the books, the event – whatever it is – as a stimulation

What Motivates You?

What Motivates you?


Technically the short answer is “Pleasure” and “pain”.


The truth is we are motivated about

the idea of an event or thing or what we think will happen if we do or dont have/do a thing.


The issue is 80% of people are motivated by pain and only 20% by pleasure – yet pleasure is more sustainable!


Everyone is different. The key is to tap in to what motivates us as an individual and use that. So what keeps us going when we want to stop? what drives us when we can’t help but move forward? What is the “Idea” or “Vision” we can’t live without?


Mine is the idea of a business operating how I want it to, a family life that supports me and I can contribute to and to be the man I can be.

When it comes to exhibiting in a Trade Show or Expo, or just in business and life, what motivates you?

What is your Plan?

plans for the day? Whether it is the air-conditioner breaking down, staff not arriving on time because of train delays or people being affected by the weather, there are some things you just can’t control!


Personally, I love the approach of “Expect the Best, but plan for the Worst.” As soon as I knew it was going to be that hot, I planned to do detailed work in the morning and easy work in the afternoon. I get I will be impacted by the heat so I will plan for it. If for some reason my air-conditioner is strong enough and my energy levels remain high, I will do more detailed work but the plan supports a “worse” outcome.


What about your business and your life? Do you have contingency plans for when things go wrong? Do you know what to do when the unexpected happens?


Life and work become far less stressful when you “Expect the Best, but plan for the Worst!”

It’s the First Day!

For many of us this is the first working day of the new year, of the new decade, of the rest of our life.

Why not set up some great habits today that we can continue with each day?

Many will start this day with great vigour, others with fond memories of the holidays and others will be overwhelmed just by looking at their inbox!

How will you start this working day? More importantly, how will you end it?

If you can do nothing else, hold a positive attitude that will continue to serve you each day as you work through the new year and beyond.


Happy New Year, I hope it is an absolute cracker for you!


Enjoy!

What are you doing for 2010?

2010 is just around the corner. You know it will be here quicker than you expect (look how quick Christmas crept up on us!). So what are you doing for it?

From a Trade Show or Expo sense, what are you doing for 2010? Exhibiting is a magnificent way to build and grow your business, but as I have always said, you will hemorrhage cash if you don’t do it right! So take some time over the coming weeks to decide:

The questions are simple but the answers will help you define 2010 and the success you will achieve.

I think 2010 will be an absolute cracker and I would love for yours to be also. Let me know if I can assist you getting there.

Enjoy!

What would Spiderman do?

I was speaking to a group last week about Spiderman. Yes, I know – it is not very “businessy” but it is very relevant.

Spiderman’s uncle told him that “With great power comes great responsibility”.


I believe that the opposite also holds true. That is, “With great responsibility comes great power”.


Too often I see people dodging responsibility in an organisation. These same people are also complaining that “they can’t change anything”. I implore you to take responsibility, it really isn’t that bad. Once you take responsibility for a change you wish to see or a situation you wish to change, you will find that you have power over that situation. You also have power over your own attitude about that situation.


Where do you need to take responsibility?

Gawk, Talk or Walk?

Do you Gawk, Talk or Walk?

More clearly, do you watch things happen, talk about things you will do or actually make things happen?

There is a time for all three of these but most people get stuck in the first two. So whether it is in your social life, your business life or even your spiritual life, don’t just talk about things or watch things happen, become part of what is happening. Take action. It is more satisfying, more rewarding and more beneficial when you do.

What action will you take today?

Do you Invest Well?

It occurs to me that successful people invest well. They look at all the options available and put their hard earned cash where they will get the best return.

Do you invest well?

Successful people dabble a bit in shares, some in options, a bit in property, maybe some bond but that is not their most significant investment. They get returns here but not like their best investment.

Do you invest well?

After doing some research, I found the best investment they make is the one in themselves!! It is not always cash either. Sometimes it is in time too. Time to rest, time to recreate themselves, time to learn new ways or time to recharge their energy.

Do you invest well?

Until recently I had not invested in my own learning for awhile. On the weekend I went to a course and had the opportunity to learn new ideas, refresh old learning, meet new associates, and invest more in myself. It was the best investment I have made in sometime.

Do you invest well?

What investment will you make in yourself? Anything that grows you and your knowledge can only be described as investing well!

Enjoy!
