What Is Stopping You?

This the theme that Business Link have adapted for their Road shows aimed at women wanting to go into information. The day is packed with seminars on all manner of things including a session from women "who have been through the system" so to say.

This session consists of a panel of women who speak about how they got started in business, ups and downs they have encountered, what help was available to them along the way, as well as any tips they have for the group. I have been very fortunate enough to be selected as a panelist 3 times in row by local Business Link in Woking.The latest of these Roadshows was on 18 Nov 2008 and details of further events are here

They are two things that happened to me that day one of them is here



The other thing that happened to me is I have not stopped thinking about the question WHAT IS STOPPING YOU? each time I am about to put off doing something and the result has been that I realised that I do not have a justifiable reason not to make that follow up call, send that email or get out to that network meeting!

It is all common sense you would argue, but how easy is it to motivate yourself to do things you do not particularly enjoy?

The WHAT IS STOPPING YOU QUESTION has in effect created fear in me of the consequences of not getting on with tasks however dull they maybe and the results over the results two days have been amazing.

I have followed up two leads, one of them has agreed to a meeting in two weeks time as she feels Ethnic Supplies products are a fit for their shop, whilst the other has recommended me to her possible as a possible guest speaker for their event next month.

The other side of the question WHAT IS TOPPING YOU? is one of commitment to see things through and I have found that the degree to which I am committed to something will influence the results!

So I ask WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?
