We are halfway into the year 2011. When you look back, what do you see?Are you proud of what you have achieved? Did go everything as planned?
My personal impression is that 2011 has shown me how much life can go in my way. It started with the floods here in Brisbane. I had plans, ready to hit the beginning of the year badly ... but then the water rose.
People are suddenly turning up in your life and others are leaving. Cars get broken and your landlord wants to sell the house. A one hour appointment ends after 4 hours and your partner decided to change careers.
All these things happen and it is not only in your life. Everyone has s**t going on. But the main question is, does life blur your focus? The goal you have set on the 1st of January ... is this goal still there, or did I just enlighten you?
The similar principle applies to businesses. They have been affected by the flood, by people leaving and coming, strategy and marketing changes, business acquisition, change of product range, growths and recession.
The Brisbane team of Team Fitness is approaching one of the highlights of 2011 (after the flood ;) ). Tuesday the 5th of July we are celebrating the opening of the our own office. What does it mean for us?
- You are not alone with your life.
- Present your business in the perfect environment with the General Manager just around the corner.
- Remember your goal from the beginning of the year ... because the rest of 2011 will be just the same ... full of life.
I want to remind everyone that because the first six months didn't work out as planned, it doesn't mean the whole year has to be like this. Thomas Edison failed thousands of time on his journey to discover finally the light bulb. Imagine what would be if he had given up after 6 months! And also, it is not the success you achieve at the end what counts ... it is the journey to it, the people you meet, the opportunities that come your way. Be open, share your story and listen what other people have to say.
Let's celebrate this Tuesday what Team Fitness has achieved so far, new friendships, new knowledge and life. I am looking forward to an exciting rest of 2011.
And congratulations to everyone in Team Fitness who won the ride with the Limo!

Thank you so much Green for this post. You wrote it wiithout even knowing that I NEEDED to read it!! Too many excuses get in the way of me acheiving my goals, and yes I am guilty of righting OFF the rest of the year and think that 'Oh well, what I can do next year is this..'
Life will continue no matter what. So instead of trying to understand it or plan it out to the letter I am going to LIVE IT! That is the way I will learn...experiential learning cuts deeper grooves.
