In this episode William Buist discusses with Phil Rose how we can move towards Intentional Mastery. Do you have what it takes?
- Seeing the glass half full versus half empty
- How not buying into the recession will save your business
- What’s in your control and what CAN you control – it’s a matter of focus
- Start with knowing you own skills…
- You cannot NOT market
- What we can learn from the actions of some business owners during the lockdown period – it’s a matter of perspective
- How fear, uncertainty & doubt left some of the turkeys on the shelf at Christmas
- The journey to mastery… we all start as explorers keen to gather knowledge…
- Experts to Masters… it’s an intentional step
- Out of every 100 businesses that start… only 20 will succeed in the first instance – business founders need to be aware that sometimes it’s things outside of our control that make the biggest impact
- Circumstances don’t play any part in how we choose to react… consider that…
- Having an understanding of our purpose drives the journey to mastery
- How our hobbies can enable us to take a different view of what we do and how we do it
- No one else has had the same journey as you – we all bring a unique journey to the world
- The parallels with learning to drive… moving up the ladder from unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence to conscious competence and on to unconscious competence
- The decision to go to mastery comes from a recognition that we want to pass it on to the future
- The key is being able to pass it on… not just to learn it… it’s about teaching… and education and that’s about making it conscious again
- It’s about exploring with people ‘what is it you find difficult about X?’
- Why it’s important to find a coach or mentor to help us improve
- Find what brings you joy… and know that our journey is one of contentment
- Our best work comes from being intentional when we do it…
- William’s Tip… don’t take yourself too seriously
