I think the key is knowing when your emotions are affecting your thought processes and then telling yourself to put your decision making aside until you’ve got a clear head back on.

It’s difficult, because emotions can be powerful things, but I think learning how to do this will make you a stronger person in every area of your life.

To sum up how Link4Growth has helped my business, by example it has led me to have more expansive thinking, feel less alone, have the confidence to become a bit more techie, and has given me a great boost of energy to get things moving. The forum accountability thread is brilliant for keeping on track and pickng p more advice. Can’t wait for the next one to move things on further! Thank you Link4growth Watford!

And yes Mr O, whilst there’s no doubt that the Board Director at a Link4Growth session has an important role, the value is all around the table…

I remember you telling me a story about someone at one of your earliest sessions who, since he’d not been in business long (he’d had a long career in the public sector), was concerned that he’d have nothing of any value to contribute, so wasn’t terribly confident or comfortable about being there. But come the day, he was able to offer several valuable insights and suggestions to other people’s issues which no-one else had thought of, precisely because of his ‘different’ background. Brilliant stuff.

It is a real privilege to be able to Board Direct and watch the wonderful unveiling of solutions and positive energy in the room… I am just proud to be a small part in the revolution that I know Link4Growth will bring to so many people…

… Sarah you will be more than welcome to attend the Link4Growth Board at Watford… visit the Link4Growth.biz website and book in… I am told 16 people are saying they want to come and only 12 will make the cut

“it is the most frequently asked question about the poem – and here is my answer to why it is faithless:

I use the word “faithless” deliberately, because it is an uncomfortable word and it is and should be uncomfortable when we break a promise we have made to another, even when we feel we must do so to be true to our own soul. Things change, we change, our awareness changes- and sometime what we thought we could do becomes impossible or simply no longer good for us (and those around us. ) At some point I realized that I could truly trust those around me who were willing to be seen as “faithless” ie- those who would break an agreement with me or someone else if keeping the agreement meant risking damage to their own soul’s journey (and of course I am no happier than anyone else when someone breaks an agreement or promise they have made.)

Hope this helps, although the chapter in the book that unfolds this line is, I think better written. Blessings, Oriah”

I’ve not come across Peter before, but I found this (and the video about Samsara and Nirvana, from the same conversation at BM, also on his YouTube channel) really helpful. I’ve stopped being surprised now when the Universe delivers exactly what I need to be reminded of at precisely the right time.

Congratulations on your new grandpa status btw! I’m going to share your latest post with a friend of mine… not for the business management insight, but for the fatherhood stuff… He is about to become a father for the first time and is faced with a difficult decision; mega bucks and separation from family, or very good bucks and being there.

Look forward to bumping into you again Martin. Either virtually, or (since you are only down the road in Barry) in the real world.
