Where do you get your POWER?



It is in quiet solitude I get my energy.

I did a Myers Briggs personality test several years ago and confirmed what I already knew - that I was an introvert.  But the more I read about introverts, the more I realised that this does not mean that I am not social, or that I am afraid of my own shadow let alone other people.  No, not at all.  Part of being an introvert meant that you would get your energy from times spent alone or in quiet solitude.

I am a very social person, and really enjoy the company of others.  I love bouncing things off other people, be that concepts, ideas or even jokes.  I also love spending time with my other half, Michael. We are joined at the hip most of the time.  But I love to have moments when there is no tv, no music, no conversation - just the quiet solitude of being alone - this is where I do my thinking, this is where I refresh from the worries of the world, this is where I re-energise and sort out what's in my head - the good from the bad, and can centre myself and be ready to face the world for another day.

So, where do you get your power?

So, how about power?  Power is slightly different to energy.  Energy is the physical and mental ability to carry on and get something done.  Power is more about where you get your inner motivation from.

I don't have all the answers.  This is still something I am figuring out what is true for me.  But I do know what I have learned from successful business men and women, from inspiring figures in our society, and from anyone achieving their goals:

Motivation comes from doing what you are passionate about.

So, I guess the question is - What Inspires you?  What are you Passionate about?

Welcome to No Limits Biz




Taking ownership of a new business name is pretty exciting.  Many of you reading this may have known me from my other trading as name of Liberty2Live.  Something with this name wasn't resonating with me.  I took on the name several years ago - picking this to represent having a business that assisted others in having the liberty to live the life the desired.  But most people reading this thought the word 'live' was prounounced in the context of: The band was 'live'.   Well that just doesn't work!  :)

Over the last few years the phrase No Limits has presented itself to me time and again and I really liked that - having a business that has no income cap - unlike a job where you can only earn a salary, this business model means that you have the potential to earn whatever you want - if you are willing to do the work to achieve it.  No cap, no ceiling, no-one else holding you back or saying  you can't - just No Limits!  So, for me, it seemed appropriate to be in my own No Limits Biz (or business).  And now I'm excited that it is my registered business name.

This name is who I am, it's who I want to be, and it's what my business represents.

I have so much to share, and as a friend recently put it succinctly - "I don't want to die with the music still in me".  I hope you enjoy my posts. I also hope you will interact with me, sharing your comments, your thoughts, ideas and wins.  My blog is nothing without YOU.




Thanks for reading.
