‘They’ say

IMG_3718

Nearly every question we ask ourselves inside our heads, we deep down instinctively know the right answer for us, most times we do not take our own instinctive advice.

I hear people saying ‘they say I must do this or that’. Who are ‘they’?

‘They’, well ‘they’ are the experts, the people who know what is good for us.

At times in my life, I made the error of listening to what ‘they’ said or what I thought ‘they’ were telling me to do.

But ‘they’ are not the experts, ‘they’ do not know what is good for me and ‘they’ are not me.

In fact ‘they’ do not even exist, we have invented them in our heads to justify, internally to ourselves and externally to others, why we do not do something.

Stop listen to them, stop invent them – ‘they’ do not know us, we know ourselves and that is who we need to listen to.

Listen to you, as you are the expert on you, after all who has been with us all of our lives, through every situation? yes YOU.

Get out

If you run a business, and you spend day, after day, after day, stuck at the office, only working in your business, the likely result is that you will go round and round in circles.

You will not see the wood for the trees and sooner or later it will all go stale.

You need to make time in your diary, I would say at least a day a week, where you go out, down the park, to a coffee shop, meet up with friends or wherever you feel that you can have a clear head.

Switch the phone to do not disturb and switch yourself into a creative mode, a thinking mode and work on your business.

Business is a long-term game, not a short hard slog, where you hope to find the magical short-cut to riches.

Therefore, if you can never be away from your business, then it is unsustainable, especially health wise and then ultimately you’ll be frazzled.

Step away from it and get out, get out of the trees and look across the plain.
