Thoughts

What a fantastic platform BBC iPlayer is. I watched the replay of a Richard Hammond Top Gear special the other day. The programme tracked all the Bond cars from the first films.

Have you ever wondered why some things don’t seem possible to you? For example, getting a promotion or setting up your own business.

Are you aged between 50 and 64*? And maybe you realised during the pandemic you were bored in your career, so you took early retirement?

Kali and Steve went into the studio in April to record a set of Podcasts which are available to listen to (and watch) via the website, on YouTube and across a host of other podcast platforms including iTunes/Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

If I was a millionaire, what would I look like walking my dog, Smudge, every morning? What would I be thinking about? What would I be focusing on and how would I respond when someone asks me, ‘How is business?’

I was watching a Chartered Financial Planner, Pete Matthew, on his channel the other evening and he was discussing the effect of retirement on most people. When someone retires, and they are asked what they do, they will probably reply that they are a ‘retired’ Teacher/Doctor/Nurse.

Anyone who has attended our ILM Leadership programmes may be familiar with the phrases, “Be More Dog” and, “Chemical Addiction”.

Do you ever doubt yourself? Or maybe you have success and you’re not sure how you achieved it because you don’t feel you deserve it. This is known a ‘Imposter Syndrome.’

If we are surrounded by upbeat positive people, it tends to rub off on us too and if we are happy we tend to lift the mood of everyone we meet. Like the Pig of Happiness if you are happy then your mood will impact on your friends.
