Truth is, I have been pretty manic at this new contract role and unfortunately that has taken up a lot of my time. Guarantee you will make a lot better decision because taking that deep breath will stop you from getting too carried away and allowing panic to set in.Įveryone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die - a saying that I heard over the course of the weekend or last week and one that pretty much stopped me in my tracks and punched me in the face. When you find yourself in hot water, take a deep breath and run yourself through the situation and the options you feel you currently have. Very often, we forget to breath when the shit hits the fan and I am no doctor or scientist but I think the lack of oxygen to the brain makes us do stupid shit. I am a big believer in the whole concept of taking a deep breath and then re-evaluating the situation. This is generally where panic sets in and people do stupid shit that gets them even deeper in the shit. It's pretty easy to get caught up in something and before you know it, you're in a tail spin and you have no idea which way is up, let alone how you are going to get yourself out of the situation you find yourself in. Now, obviously if you have down time, you can then do the shit yourself and save yourself some money but if lets say you are going to redecorate your house instead of decorating someone else house, well you're losing the potential to earn money and you're then paying time to do it yourself. Rather than wasting your time doing stuff you're not good at, focus on the things you get paid to do and pay people to do the things that you don't. So why do we so often waste our time doing shit that doesn't get us paid? Quite often we end up doing shit that costs us time in place of things that we could do to earn some bank. No one has the ability to conjure up more time, well no one that I know anyway. We all have 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Money is something you can always make more of, time however, that shit can't be created. Todays episode gets into a recent experience in the office and what I learnt from it all. Yes there are plenty assholes but end of the day it is a team effort to get us over the line. Business is something of a similar beast in my head. I remember at school I had those feelings from time to time but as soon as we started getting paid to win, there was a very quick transition from hoping a person in the team who bullied me or was a dick failed to, I don't care who you are when we walk onto that field, all off field antics are exactly that, off field antics, we are here to win and in order to do that, we all need to step up. We all know people who, even in a team environment, want one of their team mates to f**k up. There is two types of people in the world, those who play well with others and those who don't. Penny wise pound foolish is one of those things most people do and they may not do it intentionally but it is pretty critical that you identify when you are doing it and be honest enough with your self to admit it.

Thanks for tuning in to the Keep It Simple Podcast with Byron Ovenstone - where my goal is to help you get from where you are, to where you want to be with each episode. Todays episode gets into how I quieten my mind and my mindset towards getting enough rest. Probably one of the most important times to be able to quieten your mind and allow yourself to drift off to sleep, so thats pretty handy. I feel like I have gotten a hell of a lot better at it but I am only capable of doing it in the evenings right before bed. Silencing your mind is one of the most difficult things you could ever hope to do.
