Howdy. Can I borrow your brain for a minute?
We receive a lot of feedback from this web site and are always looking at how we can improve things. To help us get it right we've put together a quick and easy survey (just 10 quick questions) and would appreciate it if you could take a minute or 2 to complete it.
And win a great prize!
And to make it an even better survey we'll place everyone's name in a hat and draw a winner for a $50 book! A shameless bribe!
Click here for the survey if you would like to assist.
It's hard to be humble.................for me anyway
Howdy. Hope you had a good weekend.
I've just finished my swim tonight at the local pool. I swim every day between 1 - 1.5 km. I know the owner and we often have a bit of a chat.
Tonight we were there having a chat when a little kid, he must of been about 7 or 8, came racing up, "Mike, Mike! I beat my old time by 2 seconds. I can swim 50 metres in 52 seconds!"
Mike said, "Fantastic! Wow! You are fast. That's a great effort. Well done and keep it up!"
The little fellow strutted off very proud of himself
Mike, the pool owner, is Mike Wenden. One of Australia's greatest ever swimmers. Mike was one of only three swimmers to break world records at the 1964 Mexico Olympic Games. He won the 100m freestyle (Mark Spitz came 3rd). And he made it a double with gold in the 200m. He broke 6 world records in his career.
He's carried the Olympic Torch. Carried the Olympic Flag into Sydney Olympics in 2000. Done pretty much everything.
But Mike's still contributing. He's still there giving something back.
No matter how well we do at business, not many of us can lay claim, like Mike can, of being one of the best ever.
It's important not to get carried away with our success. We can always improve. There's always something we can do to make our businesses better. Always something to change.
And if we have reached a level of success, then perhaps we can give something back. Maybe encourage a young entrepeneur? Maybe finance someone's dream. Whatever.
We can always do better, and we can always do more.
Cheers
Brendon
P.S: My PB for 50 metres is 45 seconds. That little kid will be overtaking me very shortly!
