Quote of the Day
“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our world is full of things that we could be fearful about. I worked with a group of managers today about influence and persuasion. Their principle need was not one of a lack of skills but Fear.
I have been stuck in my own fear - I have found it hard to get out and marlet my training and consultancy company. I have never needed to. Word of mouth always meant work kept coming in. The recession has changed this.
I must get out of my comfort zone and sail on the rough seas beyond the harbour.
This is one of my favourite places in the UK - Seahouses. It was once a small fishing port and now that the fishing industry has gone, the fishermen ply their trade by taking visitors to the Farne Islands.
I now must challenge myslef to find my equivalent. People are not looking for trainers or coaches in the same number - the photography business ticks over, not enough to pay the mortgage.
