This is for us and other people who think that having a great work and home life where people around you are achieving a lot AND being happy is not rocket science – it just needs some thinking about.
We are all born and all die. The only other thing that is constant for everyone is that we all have 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. You, me, Einstein, JK Rowling, Rembrandt, Steve Jobs…no one has more or less.
So what do we do when we are short on time AND big on ambition – for ourselves and for other people?
Read on. Share your ideas. Let’s create a bit of a revolution where you don’t have to spend your whole weekend reading a self-help guide or the latest management bible to make a change and see the difference.
Here’s people-science. Made simple. One idea at a time. So you can change your mind fast. And help others do the same. And weirdly (or not) get much better results at work and home, in a lot less time.
I have often wondered if making the most of your talents just seems so much like hard work because there are a lot of people with a lot of money and career time invested in it. Who now can’t help but believe it’s more complicated than than it actually is?
Here are some of the things I have found to be true:
None of us are ever the finished article. Great. If we accept that we can move on, however senior we have become.
Your world can become a better place, one conversation at a time. But you do have to have the conversation, not just be in a perpetual state of meaning to.
You can create great new habits if you give things a go. But the old and bad ones will really try and keep hold of you.
We learn faster by sharing when it goes great and when it doesn’t. In fact we learn far more if we fess up to when things went wrong.
So given we are all short on time and big on ambition. (stBAM for short) Let’s learn from one another to make big things happen, one quick, small change at a time
