First Year of Self Employment....part 3

Continuing the series of my first year in self employment and what to do, what motivates you and how you can achieve those goals.

An Important part is making a plan or a decision and stick to it. The essence is not to give up. If you have a dream or an ambition, it is possible but it will take hard work, guts and determination to see it through. Also it needs to be in your hands, there is no point saying your ambition is to win the euro millions because that plan is way outside your control.

On monday night I went to Old Trafford to see Manchester United first home game of the season against Tottenham Hostspur. Now things have changed at Manchester United since the defeat against Barcelona in May. That evening they were beating by the better team where the core of the team was through there own academy. Sir Alex Ferguson said that we will get better after that match. Since that day, the old guard have left the team and a new breed of new youngsters have stepped up.

What I witnessed on Monday was mesmeric. After a slow start the team got better and just kept running, moving and a desire to beat the opponents and beat them well. I was interested in Sir Alex quote after where he said the young brood would go through barb wire whilst the older more experienced may look for a gate 200 metres down the way.

Sir Alex made a plan to make these changes and stuck with the decision when others may have questioned him. It was brave but he had faith and when you go with your conviction, things happen. Thats what I did, sometimes you have to make brave decisions but if you are hungry enough and determined then success will be yours!!
