Earlier this summer I attended a local meeting where the
guest speaker was Phil Jones from Brother UK. He mostly spoke about leadership but
he also detailed his rise within the company and how some changes in his
life led to increased success. I took on board many of his comments.One thing that particularly interested me was when Phil spoke about himself being the COE rather than the CEO. This stands for Chief Opportunity Engineer. Another thing he added was that, when he stopped trying so hard to make success happen in his life, success had a chance to come and find him.
In the last few weeks, I have been freeing up as much of my
time as possible so that I could also create new opportunities. Reflecting back on
just this past week alone, there has definitely been a difference in where my time
has been spent and it seems more than just coincidence!
I spoke to a number of new drivers who could undoubtedly
increase our capacity, I met with my business partners and discussed our future plans, I met with a potential new customer and I saw a long standing
customer about creating even more opportunities. Seems all I had to do was make
myself available!
