You’re Having A Great Day When….

Posted on January 27, 2022

I’ll say mine down below. What about you? Do you distinguish between a regular day, good day and great day? What would make your day great? What warrants noting, appreciating and celebrating in your life?

Are you targeting these things, attracting them or completely oblivious and hopeful? A surprise here and there is always great.

But you can also attract great things into your life by thinking and doing great and appreciated things. For example, you help an older woman up some stairs in a building, and later find out she told her daughter about you. The daughter happens to be the Board Director you are interviewing with for your next job. Be kind. Do good.

You can also target things to happen. For example, I could apply for a book award competition and see how that goes.

Why am I having a great day? Friends started receiving their book orders yesterday and today and sent pictures and videos to me. Very cool. More of that please ?.

I also had Rory Sutherland of Ogilvy Group follow me on Twitter today. He’s brilliant and I’m delighted.

Also, more people keep contacting me about my new book from around the world. That’s pretty cool.

Finally, Roxane finished updating the new website for the book (Achieve Anything) and it looks great. Find out more about this life-changing book so you can achieve amazing results in your life in 2022 and beyond. Get your unique signed copy or find links to major booksellers at scottsbook.com

So I’ve been having a great day. Fantastic really.

If you want a great day too, reflect on why yours is great in the comments below.

As Good As It Gets

Posted on January 25, 2022

Maybe it is. Perhaps this is it.

Not in the general but maybe in the specifics.

If a fabulous moment or memory is the top echelon, what else are we looking for? Perhaps we need to be more appreciative and grateful for these minutes and moments we get. Hold on to them fiercely and replay them often in your mind.

Savour every moment of joy. Each one is delicious.

You’ve Been Labelled

Posted on January 24, 2022

Yup! Some crazy person has labelled you. And that person is you!

You have labelled yourself as a lawyer, sharp dresser, gym goer, triathlete, student debt payer, bad with money, good on dates, wine drinker and card shark.

What other people say will influence these labels but the real arbiter is you. If you see yourself as one type of person, it can be hard to shift to being another. This is something you need to overcome early in the shifting process or you will self-sabotage and never reach your goal.

Your values need to align and you need to eventually feel comfortable in this new label. But making the shift across can be a harrowing experience. You will be uncomfortable at first as you consider yourself in this new label. But as you get exposed to the idea and shift your mindset on it, it will start to feel right.

Check out the labels you have given yourself, those you would rather have and the anxious feeling you get as you explore those thoughts. Understand this anxiousness and you’ll get there!

Immense Appreciation

Posted on January 23, 2022

Thank you to all of the well wishers, book buyers, sharers, likers and commenters. I greatly appreciate your time, attention and support.

Now that the publication date is here, I feel I can rightfully say I am an author. We celebrated my first official day of being a published author on Sunday. (And if you have skipped ahead to Step 7 in the book already, you will know what I am referring too.)

The next step is to be an author with readers. We know there are already some readers in the crowd and that is greatly appreciated. You will have bragging rights when the book hits 1 million copies sold. You can say, “I bought on the first day”, “I knew him when”, and “I was there at the beginning.”

Regardless of where this goes, thanks to all of you who are here at the start. Your likes, comments and messages keep me energised. Thank you.

Why Do We Need To Know?

Posted on January 21, 2022

Why do you need to read the news? What is it that is so important about some tragedy 3,700 miles away that you must know? Isn’t there enough struggle, challenge or tragedy on our own doorstep?

There’s about 7.9 billion people on this planet. Assume just 1% of all these people had a tragic moment at sometime during your 80 year life. That’s 79 million people. Let’s say it took you just 5 minutes to read, listen to or watch something about the person and their event.

Then it would take you 751 years on a 24/7 schedule to learn about each one. Who has 10 lifetimes to give to simply learn about the challenges of people around the world.

Be clear why you are doing it. Perhaps your time would be better spent improving the lives of a few people near to you, rather than imagining the pain of people in a distant land.

Life

Posted on January 20, 2022

IF is in the heart of life.

If I had finished school or gone to college. If I’d got that job I wanted. If I’d been born in a different house to a different family. If my parents had been wealthier. If I’d said no. Or yes. At that perfect moment.

Well stuff the IF! We are where we are. The choices we made have, in part, led us here. Partly our own decisions and partly cosmic fate. Those two combined create our destiny.

We’ve yet to learn how to go back and undo, or redo, time, moments, choices and circumstance. So let’s get more comfortable with where we are.

So take a few moments, right now, and list 10 of your favourite memories. These don’t have to be your top 10 ever. Just the first 10 great memories that pop in your head now. You can keep writing 15 or 23 if the thoughts start to flow and even better, or just more, memories bubble up.

Great! Keep this list by your bed and read each one just before going to sleep and upon waking, every day. Smile. Be grateful. Cherish those babies. Cause that’s our life.

Moormead Pavilion Decision

Posted on January 19, 2022

Fascinating that removing a decrepit, disused, eyesore with no useful functionality and building a new, modern, uplifting and useful pavilion had to be debated for a further 2.5 hours.

The meeting concluded correctly with unanimous agreement to move forward with the plan as spearheaded by Gaz. Well done Gaz, the rest of the team, all the local supporters and the councillors who made a great decision in the end.

Nice to see some common sense being used.

Relax – You Can’t Do It All

Posted on January 18, 2022

This is an important observation.

There is a lot to do in launching my new book. There are best practices and pre-order marketing along with preparation for post launch and how to price during the first week or two and beyond.

Like preparing to go on holiday and leaving the office for two weeks, you can’t sort everything. You can delegate and dismiss items but you can’t do them all yourself.

So just relax. And so will I. I’ve made huge progress in learning and doing. I will continue to make more progress until the launch and well beyond it.

There will be many tomorrow’s after the 23rd January launch. So be sure to enjoy the process and the success that has been happening.
