Ask a better question…

Ask a better question… Get a better answer.

Our mind is programmed to answer the questions we ask of it.

What colour is the sky?

Even if you tried, you couldn’t help but think of ‘blue’ could you?

So what questions are you asking yourself day in day out? And are they serving you?

If we spend our time asking things like ‘why do I always fail?’, ‘why won’t it work out for me?’, ‘what have I done wrong?’… then the answers are not going to serve us.

What if instead you were to ask ‘why am I certain to make this a success?’, ‘how can I make this work out for me?’, ‘what am I doing really well?’…

Ask a better question, get a better answer.

The feedback you’ve been waiting for

The feedback you’ve been waiting for “You did a great job, I couldn’t be happier.”

Of course we love to hear this sort of thing.

But this isn’t feedback, it’s applause.

If you want to improve then it’s important to actively seek real feedback on how you can improve.

I’m like anyone, and often this sort of real feedback can sting, especially when we’ve done our best, but it’s important to remember that honest feedback given openly is a sign of caring from someone who believes in you and wants you to be even better.

Empty criticism and being mean does no good and we don’t need any of that.

But insightful feedback is priceless.

Sam Hazledine, author Unfair Fight Access Sam’s recent blogs:

“But what if I fail?”

“But what if I fail?” You will.

Everyone who does anything exceptional, or for that matter, anything who even just leaves the house in the morning, will fail.

But while failure is inevitable, defeat is optional.

So the better question is, “after I fail, what will I do then?”

If you choose well then you’ll get back up. And you’ll be one step closer to succeeding.

After all, the simple formula for success is to get back up more times than you fall over.

The first step

The first step The second step is always deciding how to take your idea and make it real. The way Apple redefined the personal computer. This step is what the market takes notice of.

The first step is to be the person willing to make the second step.

It starts with a decision.

Unfair Fight is launched

March 7, 2014, and Unfair Fight is launched. We launched it with a great launch party last night. Thank you to Mayor Tim Shadbolt, Mayor Vanessa van Uden, friends and family who came to support me and the book. The buzz around it tells me that people want to see small business owners successful, and I hope Unfair Fight becomes a great resource for them.

Here's my launch speech. It's only me in shot so it looks like I'm talking to an empty room! There are a few pics at the end of our guests.

As as a reminder, here's who all personal proceeds are going to; funding rescue missions to prevent children in East Africa becoming child soldiers, then housing, clothing and educating them to give them a chance.
