‘Take time to make your soul happy. Sometimes that pressing pause & tuning in, sometimes it taking a leap of faith, sometimes it allowing yourself to be present and enjoy NOW, sometimes it’s working damn hard through some tough stuff to grow… the best bit, with awareness and courage, you get to choose..’
I went to an incredibly good talk with Andrew Billingham, former CEO of Bristol Sport. Such an engaging, inspiring speaker – there were many take away thoughts.
My Top 3 to share are:
– Be relentless in the pursuit of your goal, think differently and pay attention to all the detail / people.
– Surround yourself with the Gold Circle from Simon Sinek – Why, How and What is important to your purpose.
– Don’t be afraid to give something a go, take a risk – check my TedxBristol.
Over the last year I have been part of NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator, which is where this talk was held. The support & challenge, friendships and growth mindset has been invaluable. Post weils encephalitis healing I have found many normal situations challenging, so whilst my business is not a start up, I was incredibly grateful to be accepted onto the programme. They are currently taking applications for the Autumn in Bristol and other locations around the UK, so if you would like to leap on, find out more or have an idea bubbling, sign up, as Andrew says, what have you got to lose? Let me know if you do too, love to support you and help – it’s open to anyone, any age and idea, no limits.
