π¨Trigger Warningπ¨: This story might make you π’. It did for me, but I'm a sensitive soul.
π Drove my πMandyπ to a medical appointment yesterday and shared a story from the E.C. annual conference ( ) that really hit π―.
π©ββοΈ Mandy Hickson, an RAF Fast-jet pilot & TEDx Speaker (not my Mandyπ), shared her journey to becoming a pilot in the RAF. Despite having a pilotβs licence since 17, she failed the aptitude test TWICE with a score of zero. π² She accepted a navigator role, thinking it would bring her closer to her dream. π©οΈ Her persistence paid off, and she was accepted into the pilotβs course...as a test case. π€― Despite doubts and challenges, she graduated and had a stellar career, even flying combat missions in Iraq. π It was later revealed that the aptitude test was biased against females. π‘
But here's the tearjerker... π₯Ί A woman at the conference, who had a similar journey but gave up after failing the biased test, thanked Mandy for revealing the truth after 30 years of feeling like a failure. π
As I pulled up to the medical centre, a tear lingered in my eye, thinking of the lives and dreams lost due to prejudice and bias. π

Today is National . The Ordnance Survey founded it as a chance to celebrate the great outdoors. They want more people to get outside so that they live longer, stay younger and enjoy life more. This is a picture of my precious place, Ludd's Church Gorge, North Staffordshire. Where is your precious place? Let me know in the comments.

ππ» **The Royal Oak Celebration** π»π
π "And the winner of the National Pub of the Year is... π₯ Stay tuned to find out! π€«
πΊ Why am I cheering for the Royal Oak Chapel Ash? π€
β
Amazing beer? Absolutely! πΊ
β
Top-notch service for all customers? Of course! π
β
A cozy place to enjoy a pint? Yes, indeed! π»
But wait... there's more! π
The real reason I'm celebrating the Royal Oak, managed by the wonderful Emma and Terry, is because it's a shining example of a well-run business! π Even though I've never coached them, they embody the best practices I advocate for in all businesses I mentor. π
Running a successful wet-led pub (πΊ > π) is no easy feat, especially with:
- Nearby competition ποΈ
- Strict regulations π
- Economic challenges πΈ
Yet, Emma and Terry rise above! π Terry's mantra? "Give people a solid reason to choose your pub." π€ It's all about trust, familiarity, and making customers feel special. π
Quality is key! ποΈ Emma ensures every beer is at its finest, earning the Royal Oak numerous accolades. π
While The Royal Oak didn't clinch the "Great British Pub of the Year 2023" title (congrats to The Cholmondley Arms! π₯³), they've achieved so much more. π Their dedication to excellence is why I celebrate them today. π

π Donβt Wait βTil Wednesday π
Are you tired of having a to-do list that never seems to get shorter? π©
The most successful businesses know the value of getting things done quickly. They shorten the time between an idea π‘ and its implementation. The actual amount of time it takes to get something done is rarely that great.
As a business owner, you're likely great at coming up with new ideas but may struggle to complete the work and get them implemented. Don't let those ideas languish on your to-do list.
Get them done today.
Or tomorrow. π
π₯ What are the top two or three things on your business to-do list? Don't wait until next week or next month to tackle them. Implement, and do it fast. Increase the βmetabolic rateβ of your operation. π₯
Remember, the actual amount of time it takes to get something done is rarely that great. So, what are you waiting for?
π Start implementing, and watch your business thrive. π

Embracing the Moment: Super Blue Moon and Seizing Opportunities ππ
β¨ Last night, the less than awe-inspiring event graced our night sky - the super blue moon appeared. π΅
This rare celestial occurrence won't grace us with its presence again until 2037, a substantial 14 years from now.π₯Ί
As I gazed upon the moon's luminous glow against the night's backdrop, π
I pondered two things.
Firstly, how come the moon is never that big when photographing it with your phone?
π§©π
And secondly,
it brought to mind the notion of seizing opportunities.
πIt echoed the profound lyrics from Eminem's track "Lose Yourself":
πΌ "Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?" π΅
π§π»ββοΈIn the realm of outdoor adventure,πΆ
Life often bestows us with moments akin to the super blue moon
- unique, fleeting, and truly unforgettable. ππ»
Such opportunities,
like shooting stars,π
may not come by often.
However,
if one does happen to elude us,
does that signal the demise of our dreams?
βοΈCertainly Not!
The crux of the matter lies in the understanding that while some opportunities warrant immediate action,
It's acceptable if we're unable to seize each and every one.
Life is an assortment of chances.

πΈ Discover the Power of Storytelling Through Photography πΈ
Hiya Facebook friends! π
An iPhone, a creative ποΈβπ¨οΈ, and the power to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary. Who would have thought these three things could revolutionise how we perceive the world around us? πβ¨
I recently came across a fascinating story about a renowned photographer, Chase Jarvis, that I couldn't wait to share with you. It's a story that showcases the incredible potential of smartphone photography and how it can elevate your reputation as an adventurous activity business owner. π·π
Chase Jarvis, known for his breathtaking photographs, revealed that some of his most remarkable shots were captured not with expensive camera equipment but with his trusty iPhone. He found beauty in the simplest moments and turned them into captivating stories through his lens. π±π
You might think, "That's all well and good for Chase. He's a professional photographer. But what about me?" Well, my friends, that's exactly where the beauty of this story lies. You see, the magic isn't just in Chase's skill as a photographer but in the simple yet powerful tool he used - his iPhone. β¨πͺ
Here's the thing: we all carry these powerful devices in our pockets, capable of capturing high-quality photos at any moment. But how often do we really use them to their full potential? How often do we seize the opportunity to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary, just like Chase did? πΈπ
Imagine this: you're kayaking on fast π¦, the adrenaline rushing through your veins. Or you're high up on a rock face, and the world spread below you in a breathtaking panorama. Or perhaps you're hiking through a serene forest and come across a special moment in nature - a deer grazing peacefully, unaware of your presence. These are the moments that make your adventures truly memorable. π£ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ³
But making great memories isn't just about experiencing them; it's about capturing them so they can be relived and shared. And when you can do that and capture those moments and share them with your clients, you're not just providing a service but creating an experience. And experiences, my friends, are what build customer loyalty. π‘π±π
So, grab your smartphone and unleash its storytelling potential. Start capturing the essence of your adventures, the thrill, the beauty, and the unique moments that set you apart. Your clients will relish the memories and share them with others, spreading the word about the extraordinary experiences you provide. πΈβ¨π
May your compass always point you to adventure! π§
Patrickβ¨
P.S. Remember, every adventure is a story waiting to be told. And the best part? You're the author. With your smartphone in hand, you have the power to capture the moments that make your adventures unique. So, please remember to capture it the next time you're out there, kayaking through rapids, scaling a rock face, or discovering a hidden trail. You'll create a memory for yourself and a story to share with your clients. After all, shared stories are the foundation of lasting connections. ππΈπ

Last night was an absolute blast at the Peter Gabriel concert in good ol' Brum! I was hanging out with my mate Derek, who's been my partner in crime and drinking buddy for nearly half a century! π Can't help but switch on my business coach mode, always on the lookout for how businesses connect with their customers.
But hold on tight, 'cause the lesson I learned had nothing to do with selling concert merch or programs. It was all about leadership and giving credit where it's due. Let me tell ya, this show was an explosion of audio and visual brilliance, and Peter Gabriel knows how to do things "a little differently." πΆβ¨
Now, here's the real kicker β Peter made sure to introduce and thank every single person who played a part in creating this mind-blowing performance. From the fantastic musicians and singers who kicked things off to the badass riggers and roadies who kept the show running smooth as silk, he made sure they all had their moment in the spotlight. He even gave a shout-out to the artists who made stunning films for the songs and the exceptional singers and musicians who added that extra sparkle to certain pieces. It was like one massive celebration of how these incredible individuals came together to create a truly magical moment! ππΈπ€
What really struck me like a thunderbolt was how this should be the norm for every brilliant business owner out there. It's all about recognizing each person's unique contributions and showing gratitude for their talents. When we join forces, collaborate, and appreciate everyone's awesomeness, that's when we can achieve something truly special! π€π
So, Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life." Oops, my inner Prince just came out there! But seriously, I want you to turn up the volume on outstanding leadership in your own organization. Let's create a fun and vibrant culture where we shine a spotlight on individual brilliance. 'Cause let's face it, those individual sparks make up the dazzling fireworks of collective success! ππ₯
I'm dying to hear your thoughts on this one. Drop a comment and share any experiences you've had where exceptional leadership made a real difference. Let's keep the good vibes flowing and inspire each other to be the rockstars of our businesses! π€π
Wishing you an epic journey filled with success, laughter, and plenty of toe-tapping moments. Stay groovy, my friend! βοΈπ
Rock on,
