One day we see the world as rosy, the next it can be nothing but problems.
We can write ourselves off, with our brains giving us no chance to succeed.
It takes self belief. The ability to decide and act is all on us.
The ability to override our brains is also on us.
It’s a choice.
All we are is the product of our choices.
It’s been a great week as Katherine and I started our new company, St John, and it has been shaped by some key points that I wanted to pass on here:
Ideas have been developed into products and discussed with potential clients. No real time for incubation or doubt to creep in, but straight out there and tested in the real world.
Hard work – focus and drive towards a common goal.
Teamwork and passion for the product and why it will be a success.
Self belief – there will always be doubters but they are not the ones in control and are normally the ones who are frightened that your success will show up their weaknesses. Get it done and deal with the consequences, good or bad.
Thankfulness – for the abilities we have as a team, for the opportunity to make new things happen, for our health and strength and all the things that make us who we are. They all need to be appreciated and we all should be thankful for them.
Enjoy your weekend! I know we will.
