Business, partnership, vision

I attended recently a seminar on how to start your own business. Apart from the benefits of the course, we also met interesting individuals who are all on the path of starting, restarting a venture in the UK. We shared our experiences and vision of the future and went separate ways with not a ounce of hopes in seeing each others again. Recently, one of the members got in touch to brainstorm some ideas for a possible collaboration. The person did not have my contact details but went through the organisation to get them. No one know what is going to happen after this initial meeting. Hopefully, a collaboration with new height will spark.

Then, I wondered, why did not I get in touch with one of the other attendee who had a very similar idea to mine? What stopped me? I missed the chance to get his contact details but I could have asked for it. It is not too late though.

We have to follow up on inspiration and dreams. Go the extra mile to get together with those we feel fit our vision. Better failing trying than failing to try to live in regrets.

I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.
