"If Only"

Hi,you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t find yourself thinking ‘if only’ occasionally.Recently I caught myself drifting into this territory and realised how counter productive it is. The reality is it causes us to look back and regret not doing things we hopefully now know we should have done.It takes us down horrible dark little side streets littered with self doubt and guilt sleeping rough!Crikey none of us need that carry on,so it is important to have an internal sensor or force field that is activated to protect us.My best defence is to be excited about the now and what is to come in a future that identifies and eliminates the terrible twins ‘what if’ and ‘if only’.That is life and it makes us grateful for what we have and more prepared to make the most of a life that is far too short to worry about it!

Fletcher says; he has stumbled on a winner after pushing the full flush while Daddy was still seated on the toilet!Who needs a bidet when the good old flush toilet can achieve the same outcome grrrrr.

The new fireworks legislation banning public places and the damp weather combined to make the Guy Fawkes week a quieter one than normal for the emergency services in our hood! The dogs spent their least favourite week of the year camped out on our bed making it one of my less looked forward to as well L

We are enjoying the All Blacks Northern tour game replays over Sunday brunch as a family.Fletcher is displaying an interest in the haka and the various players kicking techniques that has his three rugby balls flying around the lounge intermittently…….go the ABs where ‘better never stops’.

Wow what a weekend of incredible weather,we cranked up the BBQ,dined and wined Al Fresco more than in fresco,if this is a taste of the Summer to come then bring it on!

I trust you were able to make the most of time in the sun with family and friends,cheers Jonesey!

 

Harry and the Hendersons reckon ‘if only’ Guy Fawkes had a dog!

 

 

     ‘They’ say “Give a job to a ‘busy’ person because you know it will get done.”

 

As a busy person who has received a number of extra jobs recently I was wondering if whoever ‘they’ is had a workload limit or threshold in mind when making this recommendation?

In an exciting fourth quarter move two customers one existing and one I have been pursuing for four years have called tenders for all their work!

In my existing customers case should we be successful we will see a 50% increase in work revenue and profit!

In my prospective new customers case this also obviously represents a huge opportunity for brand new additional work, revenue and profit!

WOW, whilst exciting is an understatement so too is ‘busy person’ as both tenders close on November 28 and like the hour glass of time the sand is fast running out !

Best stop dwelling on how busy I am and get cracking on making every post a winner on these and the other opportunities we are working on.

As I alluded to last week the closing months of the year are an important time for us all as we seek a successful finish to the year. Just like the last minutes of each half in a football game it is also a time where we can be vulnerable if we are not focused. Did you realise more points are scored for and against sides in this part of a match due to complacency and inattention?

I hope you are all focused on a big finish to the year as we round the final bend for the all important run home….time to pull out that little bit extra that will push you to the front!!

 

By the way, ‘they’ whoever ‘they’ are also say….”Careful what you wish for.”
