Never underestimate what you do

Today is the 44th anniversary of Hip Hop, according to Google, when on the 11th August 1973 a DJ known as Kool Herc invented the elongated ‘break’ that lead to the start of Hip Hop.

The thing is when he did that, he would have had no idea what was going to evolve from that and the changes that happened in music and culture from there.

We never know what will come from the things that we create, it’s uncertain and therefore it is not to be underestimated.

The one certainty is if we don’t create nothing will change or happen.

None of us knows where our creations will lead us and effects it could bring to the world.

Just keeping going.

No

In business ‘no’ is not the personal rejection that we often choose to think it is. We so often become deflated by that small two-letter word.

The person does not know you that well to make that personal judgement.

What a ‘no’ means is often, your pitch was not clear enough, you are not solving my problem, you did not understand the problem, you were not confident enough, it’s the wrong time and so on.

As always it is how we choose to see things.

‘No’ means we have to do even better, we have to listen better, we have to learn and move forward with a better version.

It does not mean you are a failure or worthless. We all too often wrongly equate our work with our worth. We are all already worthy regardless of what we achieve.
