@frankbrunoboxer Great talk for us in Solihull last night Frank! You can come again 😎

Morning great night in Solihull big disappointment with West Ham watched when I got home their defence was better than a barrister then sadly well you know the story. I caught the series "My Town" loved the music in fact playing a bit of it now I think they need to do a similar version of other cities around the UK? I'll be in the South London one please! Have a good day

@danhaylett @SpursOfficial COYS!

On our way to see the mighty Spurs! @SpursOfficial #COYS

@nicklincoln Mate I used to have a job roasting corn in Colorado. Keep it in the green leaves husk, apply fire. It steams and scorches. Then add the butter and salt. It will blow your mind. Don’t buy any dehusked corn - ever!

Corn on the cob. Wrapped in foil with full-fat butter and salt. BBQ. Lid down, indirect. 25 minutes later. There is little better.

@AlanJLSmith We sell recreational drugs!

Financial advisers - are you selling vitamins or painkillers? Recommending an investment is a vitamin. Showing a client how they can retire 5 years early is a painkiller. People want painkillers more than they want vitamins.

@frankbrunoboxer We can’t wait to have you, in April!

Morning its a nice day for a walk! You know every year in January I worry will this year be the quiet year when people move on to new up and coming talent for their dinners, boxing shows, mental health talks etc. Great news from office over 40 quality enquires this week looks like a busy year I don't know what I was worrying about! So West Ham NEED a win today everythings crossed! Have a good day I fancy fish & chips for a change!

@cssgareth There was something called onedocs (might be onedox) that got all your bills etc and out them all in on place, automatically. Was ace. It closed though but is in another guise of ideavate.co.uk i think!!

Is there an online service for holding information on your utility providers etc in case of emergency? A filing cabinet of sorts, but cloud based? This sounds like a really daft thing to ask, but say you wanted to create an online hub of all your utility providers, account numbers etc surely there's an online alternative other than using something like icloud?

@KateBour It’s harder this time of year as you read posts about ‘saying no more’, ‘focus on the big stuff’ etc but the little ideas and pings in your mind are going off constantly like the Atari Pong game from 1975

@LucentFP A blessing and a curse

On my mind… Lots of people would gladly switch bank accounts with successful entrepreneurs but… Far fewer would want to switch brains It’s really hard to turn *it* off and relax

@Nigella_Lawson @MJowen174 @TheRealMGA as well as Laurent the French man, we now have Nigella chiming in on my side, Matthew! Your position is over run like a burger busting through the weak defences of a brioche. I believe this 10 year argument is now closed. Thanks Nigella x

@MJowen174 And that’s the right answer!

@brettdavidson True that. I’m a Smurf. Will try harder…

When I challenge business owners on where they’re spending their time they argue with me until they’re blue in the face denying there’s an issue. Truth is, we could all be better at how we allocate and use our time. Are you making the most of your time? shorturl.at/jprW3

@ABetterJones Thanks Kasey! I’m having that feeling now over something and it’s bothering me, but you’re right ! Made me feel much better.

Do NOT be afraid of imposter syndrome. Be grateful for it. Unless you're a sociopath, you know the feeling: —> Skin crawling —> Heart starts to race —>Tightness in your chest —> Uncomfortable in your body —> A flood of fear, anxiety, and self-doubt We ALL experience it. But it's how we respond that makes the difference. I used to think it meant: —> I couldn't hack it —> I was going to fail —> I should just give up —> I would embarrass myself But then I noticed a pattern. 1️⃣ I feel it when I have a dream opportunity that scares me. - Starting my business - Giving my first keynote - Working with a kickass coach - Closing a next-level perfect client - Leading my first int'l workshop series 2️⃣ But the result is always positive — I get smarter, stronger, and braver. And then I realized. I get imposter syndrome when I'm in the process of: —> Growing —> Leveling up —> Stretching myself It's a sign I'm on the right track. That I'm about to do something absolutely freaking life-changing. Now, I f*cking CHASE that feeling. If I haven't felt in a while, I know I'm playing it safe and small. Life's too short for that. So tell me...when's the last time you did something that scared you?! If it's been a while, it's time for a change. ♻️ Repost if this was helpful 🔔 Follow @abetterjones for more 👇 Click the link to build your platform

@rowerachel6 @rowe_martinr He’s always looking for inscribed stones. Congratulations on finding the pastries!!

Substantial morning walk today as @rowe_martinr insisted on finding an early medieval inscribed stone 😉Fuelled by coffee and pastries and located by my excellent map reading.

@AlanJLSmith I love nick Murray’s writing, the messages and all that. But really, the fact they’re so hard to get, cost hundreds and as such are treasured like books used to be hundreds of years ago, are what really appeals. Well jel. Enjoy!

Just arrived – my weekend reading. #AlwaysBeLearning 📖🎧📺

@brianportnoy @neilbage That’s why he loves barbecue! He learned to cook in Neolithic times. It’s all adding up. Great Scott!

@AlanJLSmith As Rocky Balboa says ‘I’ve still got something in the basement’. You need to get that out with some pounding bombs. Show your value to the world, leave them wanting more, then do one and show your value to yourself. No more having to prove it to anyone. Prove it to yourself & go

The traditional concept of retirement is nuts! Just at the point where you have maximum experience, knowledge, contacts, connections and value - you’re supposed to stop and take up golf! 🏌️‍♂️
