Lifestyle, I had a great day today got some great photos. Ah it was so nice to enjoy myself with some good company and that’s one the things that I really love about being my own boss and enjoying. Every day is a great day and a enjoyable day.

I look around and realise I have amazing friends, I have found 3 great friends who are just awesome and they know who they are. Each of them has their own story yet they identify with me and what’s gone on for me. Yet they have all become instrumental in my life, lets not forget my colleagues each of which again has a different story yet they are supportive and encouraging. I love the people in my life and those whose lives I have chance to be in and impact, weather it’s through my business, my volunteering or my blog. Ah life truly is amazing.

There are many reasons why people do not succeed in any venture; weather it’s life, family, work, business or otherwise. A person does not achieve their goals or dreams owing to the fact that they doubt that they deserve what they are looking for. The hard part is remembering no matter what that you deserve such, sometimes it’s remembering those setbacks and there can be some very major setbacks and then picking yourself up and continuing on the journey. However when their is even a small doubt in your mind that you are going to achieve that goal then you do not achieve it. Sometimes you need to build yourself up and say ok this is what I want. Making sure that you find those people who are going to support you in that goal no matter what.

You often need the support of many others who believe in you enough until you can believe in obtaining that goal and that can be the hard thing. Others see it before you do at times, they can see you care for someone deeply, that you are excited about something, that it is what you want to be. Sometimes the greatest test is one of patience and knowing that no matter what it will happen. Sometimes you need to set that goal and forget such. I will use this as an example, I set a goal to go and see a soccer team, knowing no matter what I would. It kept on coming to my mind so it was a goal that I was meant to achieve. Now for me I had no idea how I was going to achieve this goal, yet I just let it happen.

Then a competition turned up, which I was listening to the start of a conference and they were talking about it I entered and was lucky to be one of those first 20 people and got tickets to go and see the sponsored soccer team locally. I see that as having set a goal and having no doubt within my mind that I would achieve such. That is what it’s about, knowing within yourself that it is going to happen no matter what may come your way. Yet when you do not believe such then it does not happen.

Following a recipe

No I am not talking about cooking in this post. I am talking about following a system, following a tested system which is proven to work for others and not making any changes to that system.

Every business has a system and a way of doing things, we all develop that system through our training and habits. Some are complex that no one can even duplicate or replicate what we are doing others are simple that even a 2 year old may be able to do such. When you decided to change things is it for the best or is it because you want to, when you use a proven system and do what they do it’s how you get the best results; however when you tend to deviate from such then you may no longer get the results you are looking for or none at all. Other times when you are following the system your results may be small yet in the end the pay off is larger.

The question is asked would you use motor oil if you had no cooking oil in a cake recipe? I know would not like to motor oil as a cooking substitute although some people tend to think changing something will make all the difference to make that better or to get a better result from such. Sometimes yes tweaks will make it better and other times it can make things a lot worse. Sure it’s trial and error when their is no proven system, however with the proven system or something that works you do not need to change it. So why change it, unfortunately some people do devise systems or procedures which are so complex that they only understand such.

I am having to change some ways of doing things because of the complexity of what they were. Others are just perfect as they are. So what you need to do is make sure that the change is really necessary. If not then do not change it, is so then only make the changes needed. I spent years with a system that was to complex, now it’s easier and more workable. So make it easier for others rather than complex.

If you have any questions just contact or email me.
