Inspiring People

I have just read an article about Sir Robin Knox-Johnston who, at the glorious age of 67, has just set off on the Velux 5 Oceans - the longest, toughest and most dangerous single-handed round-the-world yacht race.  For those of you who don't already know, RKJ was the first person ever to sail single-handed round-the-world back in 1968/1969 (it takes a long time!), winning The Sunday Times Golden Globe.  In fact, he was the only person to complete the race, after 312 days at sea and numerous hair-raising moments.  I read his book about the race many years ago, A World of My Own, which is a great read: RKJ is the master of the understatement to say the least!  As an aspiring sailor at the time I was greatly inspired by RKJ, and although my sailing career was rather brief in comparison, I did manage one ocean crossing in the year or so I lived and worked on yachts, sailing across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to St Lucia in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers.

Monday9am films

I was introduced to Monday9am films a few weeks ago, and have been addicted ever since.  I don't always get to watch them on Mondays, and usually not at 9am, but I do watch them, and usually get drawn in to watch more than one at a time.  So what are Monday9am films?  They are, according to the intro on the website, "weekly short films that do something".  So what?  So take a look and see for yourselves - as they also say, "You'll get this, or you won't"!  I've added a link from my "Recommended" list on the sidebar, or click here for the website.

Enjoy!

Time to focus...

After an exciting time at Alan's Masterclass last week, and a great chat this morning with one of the contacts I made there, I'm really honing in on my need to focus.  I've had such an amazing year, one of huge changes and growth, and at times, heartache and sorrow.  I've learnt a huge amount on all sorts of different subjects (though it's amazing how they all have that one recurring theme mentioned in my earlier post!), and have ideas and plans constantly buzzing through my head.  It's tremendously exciting, and also tremendously frustrating, as most projects have yet to come to fruition.  I gather this is a common theme for the entrepreneurial mind...

Confessions of a Seminar Junky: Mega Masterclass

I've just returned from Alan Forrest Smith's Mega Masterclass.  Wow!  What an amazing few days!  Hard to know where to start with all the things that I got out of it...  Learning from the amazing Jerry Hart and Shaune Clarke for the first time, and learning more than I ever have before from the just-as-amazing Alan Forrest Smith, Kirt Christensen, Stephen Pierce, Paul Fugle, Philly Richards, Maria Davies, and Mike Stewart.  Meeting friends old and new.  Being challenged and inspired by both.

I have learnt so much, I hardly know where to begin.
