How long will you work on making a dream a reality?

What is the journey you will be willing to travel?

What are the transformations you go through?

Are you willing to change as a person?

I have always been a big dreamer.

And have generally taken action to make those dreams reality.

One of the dreams which began to form back in 2017

Was The Twelve Awards

And over the past few years, that dream has evolved, developed and grown.

And this year, that dream became a reality.

In the process, I have changed.

I have changed my mindset on so many things.

I have let go of the people who were really good at wasting my time.

I have let go of the habits that were really good at wasting my time.

I have let go of the irrelevant opinions of other people

I have changed what I do.

I have let go of LinkedIn Local

And set up Twelve Network and Twelve Awards

I also set up Neurodiversity Guide To...!

It's been a journey and the roadmap going forward is developing all the time.

Its exciting, it's terrifying, its empowering and its challenging.

But its happening.

The next part of the journey is our South Africa-themed Summer Bash at Hotel Du Vin on July 5th.

So if you're in the South West, come join us by clicking on the link below.

See you there.

Speed of action.

You see the opportunity, you make the decision to go with it, then get down the road. Don't wait for the perfect time, because that will never come.

The right time to take action is immediately after you have made the decision because there is momentum in the moment. But there is also qualification in the action. Qualification of your decision and your intention to make that thing happen.

Make the decision then hesitate and you begin questioning your decision. Your opportunity to create momentum is lost.

Loads of people say to me, 'But Vic, I just haven't had the breaks I need. The opportunities just haven't come my way.'

And that is utter bulldust. Opportunities are always coming your way. Every day regardless of the industry you are in, the type of business you have, opportunities are flying at you all the time.

The real issue is speed not a lack of opportunities.

Speed to recognise the opportunities and speed to make the decision whether it is right for you or not.

And you will not get every decision right, you will screw up, but at least you made a decision.

Don't miss the opportunity because of your lack of speed.

This is an excerpt from my latest podcast episode. Here the link to listen to the whole episode.

I have watched really good business men and women struggle to get their businesses moving forward because they can't make decisions.

They always seem to want more information, more facts, more of whatever and consequently nothing happens and when it eventually does happen, the opportunity has past them by and if they are fortunate, they catch the tail end of the thing.

Find out more about this in the 3rd episode of The Audacious Transformation Show podcast bu following the link below.

We all make decisions every day. In fact we all make many decision every day.

Some of those decisions are simple, small and have little impact and generally few consequences. They are easy to make and often, we make them without thinking or recognising we are making them. There is also often little fear involved.

Then are the middle of the road decisions. They have some impact and can have larger implications and consequences. We generally take a bit more time to make these and need good information to make good decisions. Occasionally, these decisions appear to be larger than they are and some people procrastinate around making them.

And then they are those decisions which are massive and can have catastrophic or major outcomes and consequences. These decisions generally need a huge amount of information and thought before making them.

But again, fear of the consequences can drive the delay in making these decisions. Often by the time these decisions are made, the delay has caused more problems than making a bad decision would have.

The point here is, whether you face small, middle of the road or massive decisions, don't allow fear of making the decision or fear of the consequences hold you back from making the decision.

Our habits, both the good habits and the bad habits, have a massive impact on the results we get in business and in life.

For example, if you habitually complain about the economy of the country, your brain will continually look for evidence to confirm that thing. And then that confirmation will impact the way in which you run your business and the success you will have.

Conversely, if you habitually speak positively about the type of business you are getting from your clients, your brain will look for evidence of that and you will take better action to increase that business.

So, today look at your habits.

Do they serve you or hinder you?

Your habits will give you what you habitually do, so change those habits which don't serve you and replace them with good, solid habits which do serve you and move the needle in your business.

So you have big dreams of the things you want to accomplish with your business. You want to change your world and your financial situation for the better.

You know why you want to do it, you know, what you want to do and you know how you want to do it.

But, if you are not physically healthy, the chances of you reaching those goals are much lower. Your physical health is one of the key ingredients in your reaching or failing to reach your goals.

So here are 5 ways in which exercise can help you be more successful

1. It boosts your energy levels
2. It super charges your brain
3. It will give you a better nights sleep
4. It will help you improve your social skills
5. It improves your mood

There are many famous speeches given over the centuries, some have had profound effects on individuals, peoples and nations.

On of those speeches was the famous, 'I have a dream..' civil rights speech of Martin Luther King Jr on the 28th Aug 1963.

While there are so many thing we take from that speech, the one part that has stuck with me since I first hear it is, 'I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.'

Dreams are good and are essential for us in business and in life, but dreams which are focused on changing people perspectives, those are dreams which stand head and shoulders above other dreams.

So what is your dream to impact the people around you? To change your world and the world around you?

Consistency is the key to success in anything you want to accomplish.

To succeed, you have to be consistent even when it's not easy, when it's doing the things you least enjoy, when people say you should stop, when you just don't feel like it.

Consistency needs to be an integral part of everything you do that you really want to succeed at.

Consistent in your actions. Consistent in your habits. Consistent in your words.

The more you are consistent, the faster success will come your way.

For most people, the past 18 months - 2 years, have been fairly challenging in many ways, but I think it has taught me and I hope you a few very important lessons. Lessons which I hope I will not quickly forget when the pandemic is over, which it will be.

I have written lists upon lists of the things I have learned or have been reaffirmed, but these are 22 things I have started which I know will make 2022 an absolutely awesome year, no matter what happens.

I hope I can encourage you to grab hold of a few of them or all of them and make 2022 the best year ever, no matter what happens.

So here are the 22 things:

Quick catch up with the guys at the Cornwall Channel in the way back from a short adventure to meet Mike Bee and the Big Box team.

Spontaneous drive and interview in the fantastic 7 Series BMW. Absolutely brilliant.

So, start with 10 on day 1 and then add 1 extra press up each day through to the of July. And today was day 4, so 10 + 3. arity. What could possibly more simple. Then I thought, what if I make it a challenge and get other people in the Empowerment Group to join in. Would that not be fun. AWESOME!! 0.50p per extra press-up that I do, but any amount will do a great job.

So, start with 10 on day 1 and then add 1 extra press up each day through to the of July. And today was day 4, so 10 + 3.

And then before I could shut my extra-large mouth and additional challenge escaped. On the 1st Aug to end this challenge and for the extra sponsorship of say 10 quid, I will do 100 press-up non stop! What the heck could possibly go wrong with that idea!

Oh well here goes. 🙈🙈🙈🙈
