70!????????????\u2705<\/p>\n
Sometimes things just sneak up on you!<\/p>\n
There I was, very busy but minding my own business, in my 40\u2019s.\u00a0And suddenly, I turn around and I am 70!<\/p>\n
Just where did all that time go?<\/p>\n
Of course, reaching the biblical three score years and ten is great.\u00a0Maybe I don\u2019t run as much, maybe very long days are just a touch more tiring.\u00a0But honestly, I am not feeling much else different.\u00a0Is this \u2018old age\u2019?<\/p>\n
So, for all you young un\u2019s out there, here is a short post about life\u2019s journey\u2026<\/p>\n
First, family is the most important thing.\u00a0I always knew it, but too often work got in the way.\u00a0Today I know \u2013 even more strongly \u2013 this is true.<\/p>\n
If you have children, cherish the time and those little one-on-ones.\u00a0You won\u2019t get them back again.\u00a0Sometimes I failed in this regard \u2013 and you really don\u2019t get that time back.<\/p>\n
Work through hard times.\u00a0Enjoy good times.<\/p>\n
Moments are worth far more than belongings.\u00a0Always\u2026<\/p>\n
Enjoy sunrise, sunset, wind, rain, warm weather, and snow.\u00a0All of it is great!<\/p>\n
Work?\u00a0If you truly love it, why would you stop?\u00a0If you are helping others, even more so.<\/p>\n
Maybe you have lost 5% of your sharpness, BUT at the same time, you have gained more experience and time to learn.<\/p>\n
I can still remember \u2013 literally like it was yesterday \u2013 walking into my induction course first day in Olivetti \u2013 in early 1977.\u00a0I had worked in an office up till then.\u00a0Little did I know that I had found my vocation.\u00a0Over the past 47 years I have learned almost every day, I got everything wrong, and slowly but surely, I learned.\u00a0Giant corporations, smaller fast-growing businesses, start-ups, in over 25 countries, and in oh so many different market sectors. From door-to-door selling (so much fun! ????\u200d\u2642\ufe0f), to high-end sales, to leading teams, to leading businesses both small and large.<\/p>\n
Now is the time for me to share that experience and knowledge \u2013 and I am loving doing it!<\/p>\n
To all who know me \u2013 thank you!\u00a0And I am not finished \u2013 by quite a long way, I think.<\/p>\n
As proof, you will soon see me announce a new, pretty unique programme to help everyone in sales\/sale leadership who faces a difficult problem or challenge \u2013 one on one\u2026<\/p>\n
Now, excuse me.\u00a0Off for a couple of days chilling!
