(Some of) The main points for listeners:
• What can you do to move to mastery, intentionally
• Seeing the glass half full versus half empty
• How not buying into the recession will save your business
• What’s in your control and what CAN you control – it’s a matter of focus
• Start with knowing you own skills…
• You cannot NOT market
• What we can learn from the actions of some business owners during the lockdown period – it’s a matter of perspective
• How fear, uncertainty & doubt left some of the turkeys on the shelf at Christmas
• The journey to mastery… we all start as explorers keen to gather knowledge…
• Experts to Masters… it’s an intentional step
• Out of every 100 businesses that start… only 20 will succeed in the first instance – business founders need to be aware that sometimes it’s things outside of our control that make the biggest impact
• Circumstances don’t play any part in how we choose to react… consider that…
• Having an understanding of our purpose drives the journey to mastery
• How our hobbies can enable us to take a different view of what we do and how we do it
• No one else has had the same journey as you – we all bring a unique journey to the world
• The parallels with learning to drive… moving up the ladder from unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence to conscious competence and on to unconscious competence
• The decision to go to mastery comes from a recognition that we want to pass it on to the future
• The key is being able to pass it on… not just to learn it… it’s about teaching… and education and that’s about making it conscious again
• It’s about exploring with people ‘what is it you find difficult about X?’
• Why it’s important to find a coach or mentor to help us improve
• Find what brings you joy… and know that our journey is one of contentment
• Our best work comes from being intentional when we do it…
