I’m just writing this rather swiftly as I prepare for another day coaching people.
Today is – like many – a varied and exciting one. Those I’ll be coaching today include a budding politician seeking office through to a chef /baker considering to set up their own business.
On the one hand their aspirations seem very far apart but on the other hand there is is a huge amount of synergy between them. Both will need to plan, prepare, raise their game, gather the right team, seek the right support. It will require a great deal of self belief, focus, motivation. Both will need to inspire, enchant and serve others.
One of the other things that both have in common is that both seek to do things anew – both seek to do things in a way which is far more people-friendly, fresh, savoury, sustainable. Both are wanting to really do what they do holistcally and mindfully.
As my friend – on my t-shirt would put it both will need to be the change that they wish to see in the world. Both will need to embody it personally and professionally and build from there.
In many ways both are examples of the ‘Soul Traders’ those who wish to build their business from their heart, passions and in a way that serves others.
The day is rounded of by a with a former footballer who runs a sports related business which has lots of promise. So we’ll be talking some sporting and business tactics too.He too like the others is working from the heart and soul as he’s also involved in community initiatives and is passionate about family, encouraging young people and following one’s own path.
I better get to work.
