THE JOURNEY SO FAR

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

THE JOURNEY SO FAR  An interview With Jane Jackson   Recently I was featured on Jane Jackson’s “AMAZING PODCAST” and it really gave me a great chance to reflect on the career changes that I have made over the years. I also got a chance to really appreciate those changes that were thrust upon me along the way.      I have also spent some time this week segmenting the interview into smaller themes and getting them transcribed to make it easier to listen to as your time allows. If you prefer you can follow along by reading the questions and answers.       WHERE IT ALL BEGAN (2REM FM)   Podcasting really is my thing and the whole idea came about out of my love of radio.

Brian Tracy, possibly one of the coolest dudes in the world, maybe separate to Andrew (@The_SM_Bloke) He said – I was watching one of his DVDs and he said: “If you don’t want to be in the top 10 percent of your field, you’re in the wrong field.” Let me read that out again. If you don’t want to be in the top 10 percent of your field, you’re in the wrong field. You don’t want to get good, you’re in the wrong job. If you wake up in the morning and you just can’t be bothered, it completely changes your energy level. So that quote, just hit me in the head.  I remember it. It was a public holiday here, what we call the Queen’s Birthday weekend. I just remember going away for the weekend and getting my journal and saying, “OK. That’s a challenge. What do I want to get good at? What do I want to be in the top 10 percent in the world at? What do I want to stamp myself down for?” At that time, like everyone else, I was trying to do everything, Google Plus and Pinterest and LinkedIn and YouTube videos. So I just decided July 2010...
