So the Legend begins

Legend of a Mind, taken from a Moody Blue song about drugs in the USA. The meaning is more related to the ability to shape events to your will through the power of your mind.

The real challenge of that statement starts tomorrow.

Up until this point I have walked from success to success, that is not arrogance it is fact. My CV could be read as right place right time. A series of promotions, challenges and making a difference that came easy.

The fact that one person can change that has had an effect. No one will ever do that to me again. I will rebuild, prove that I am what I believe I am. I can do what I believe I can do, and build another successful business.

This is the 3rd role within the same sector, and requirement type, and it is important that I make sure this is the spring board to running a business unit. Whether that be a £20m services BU or MD’ing the whole show time will tell, but I will make it count.

What I will also do is make sure there is a life running along side of the job. I am more than a job, it is not my only way of achieving self actualisation, the challenge to whether I have matured over the last 9 months will be can I create balance.

I want more time with Michelle, this time together has been fantastic, and I am determined to ensure work does not get in the way moving forward. We have created a routine that works, it is important that there is a time when work stops and life begins.

I currently feel ok about tomorrow. I have prepared for a challenge as to what do I want to do, or can listen to the requirements as seen by my new boss.

The reaction of my friends has been fantastic, true they have had to put up with the misery that I have been over the last 9 months, but I have been touched at how pleased they have been. As someone who has never been able to count more that 2 or 3 friends to have 10+ that really care is fantastic.

So how do I feel, I am not nervous, or excited, it all feels normal. This is what I do, so why panic. I am sure sleep will be broken tonight and I will feel the butterflies before my MD arrives tomorrow, but this is just a step along my destiny.

Not sure how often I will update this, so you will just have to check as and when.

So, here we go, one thing is for certain, the next time I write I will have completed day 1.
