Coming to a small screen near you - Lockdown 2

Helping business owners to become more confident and lead the life they have always dreamed of
The much anticipated sequel to this summer's biggest flop.
As soon as I heard the news on Saturday, I immediately baked Banana Bread – old habits die hard!
The next morning while drinking tea and eating the banana bread, I realised that I had clearly learnt nothing from the first time around. I was still eating cake. I was still worrying about what this would mean financially, what was the impact on the business going to be, when would we run out of toilet rolls?! And then I remembered this “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over againâ€.
Well, I’m determined not to be insane, so no more Banana bread unless it to help someone who is isolating, no more worry about finances but a clear budget based on the facts, no more fear of the impact on my business but a strategy to add value and move things to where I want them to be, and no more toilet rolls…I might need to rethink that last one!
So, what am I going to do?
I’m going to give myself some structure, I’m not going to wait to see what happens and what I feel like doing that day. This time I am pledging to spend:
- One hour a day making calls to my contacts to check in with them – lets support each other, I’m here if you fancy sharing a cuppa over Zoom
- One hour a day to work on my business – whether that’s a webinar, time spent looking at my numbers or doing business development
- One hour a day on personal development – finishing the books I started in Lockdown 1 or learning a new skill
- One hour a day of fresh air – come rain or shine I’ll be outside embracing the chance to see the last of the autumn leaves fall
What are you going to do differently this time?
