I have been coaching a young male client who has made a fantastic success out of his career in the finance sector. The papers have been full of the current financial crisis and I was interested to know how he felt about this, his future, our future (ok, I admit - in particular did he think the value of my house will come tumbling down and I will have to live in a one-bedroomed hovel in my old age?) and I found his thoughts on all of this refreshing and inspiring.
In a nutshell, he said:
Some of us have mad a lot of money in the past five years so we should stop bleating and whining about a slow-down in the housing market.
All of us have spent money as if it was going out of fashion
Yes, we may all be doing 40% less business over the next two years, compared with the last five, but it's 40% of an awful lot.
There are other things to do than getting preoccupied with how much money we
have / make / lose etc.
I was knocked out by his approach and hope he spreads the message around a bit.
Meantime, I have been glued to my computer for three days, working on the tender. Thank goodness for the gym - which is where I'm off to right now.
More soon.
Angie
