The week from hell-p

Hi and welcome to this week's blog

To say that this last week has been the week from Hades is a bit of an understatement.  There has been lost data, computer crashes and subsequent recovery systems put in place which did work to some extent but then managed to lose other important information like log in details, passwords etc.

Nerves have been rather frazzled and I have been close to breaking point a few times in the last few days but fortunately not all of it was my fault.   Computer systems that were working perfectly last week suddenly decided that they did not like what was happening and that they would shut down / freeze.

The friendly IT guy put things right by dumping everything, installing a new o/s (which to be fair has made a huge difference to the speed of my machine but alongside that I lost a lot of email information that was saved within the program, and lots of documents now don't appear!

Sadly I am NOT particularly literate when it comes to computer speak so I get lost when my well meaning friend lapses into computer language.

The I find just a few moments ago that (despite his reassurances to the contrary) some of the programs I use regularly (such as this one) have asked for passwords to be entered when I have never had to enter them at all during the past 4 or 5 years..... now maybe you (dear reader) have a password file the size of an encyclopaedia but let me assure you I do not!!

So, in a nutshell I have most definitely felt the strain during the last 7 days.

If I wasn't committed to not smoking this week would definitely have made me become a smoker again.

So there you have it - rant over!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to be here and I hope that the next 7 days are much better.

all the best

The Key Is Stuck!

 

         THE KEY IS STUCK!

How often do you try to get somewhere in your life, you have the key but no matter how hard you try it will not open the lock and it simply gets stuck?

I speak from experience here because I have been there! I studied the courses, took the trainings, worked the practicals and passed the exams and yet each time I tried “the key would not open the lock”

I became frustrated, suffered paralysing self doubt, I banged my head against the proverbial brick wall but none of it would “open the lock”

But then I discovered that the key was too BIG to fit the lock. Yes it was the right shape and all the notches were in the correct order but it was just too fat!

So what did I do with this discovery?

I started a change - I dropped some of the things that I was personally least interested in, from my offering - I rebranded slightly and simplified.

The nett result was that I am now busier than I have ever been, my post reads have increased many times over and now I have bookings coming in again.

So maybe, just maybe, if things are not performing the way you would like them to your key is too big for the lock!

Have a fantastic day and live a life of Power and Passion.
