Calmness has been well-earned and born from a sense of confidence.

1. Is It Calm or Chaotic When You Take a
Business Break?
In just five exquisite hours I’ll be boarding a plane to the USA for a three week sojourn with my family.
We’re off to San Fran, Yosemite National Park, down the Big Sur Drive to Monterey, on to Los
Angeles, followed by San Diego and Las Vegas. (Any last minute “you must see ….” tips willingly
accepted).
It’s the big family trip before my son begins his final year of school and the energy and excitement in
my house this morning is palpable!
But here’s the thing … I’m walking away from my business for three weeks and not only am I excited,
I’m also incredibly calm.
I don’t feel panicked that I’m leaving the country as we’ve just announced Fearless, or that our
website is currently being redeveloped, or that I won’t be around to mentor or facilitate. In fact I feel
so calm I occasionally catch myself wondering whether it’s because I’ve forgotten something massive.
But I haven’t.

2. On reflection, I realise this calmness has been well-earned and born from a sense of confidence. Over
the past three years I’ve managed challenges, created opportunities, embraced growth (most of the
time), listened and learned.
Over the last year we’ve developed a head office team, a mentoring team, a marketing team and an
IT team. At an individual level each one of them is fabulous and at a team level they play like the pros.
It is this combination of individual and team together with our shared purpose, values and approach
to life and business that has got us to that next stage of business and feels like the promise of an
exciting future.
I take this holiday feeling very blessed.
While I’m away the newsletters will keep coming, and you’ll get to hear from some of the main
players in our team – they’re incredible and have plenty to say that’s worth listening to. I hope you
enjoy their perspective on life and business.
In DJ’s on the weekend I spotted the first Christmas decorations so it seems the festive season is upon
us. If you’re wondering how to celebrate or how to thank a client, supplier, colleague, referrer or
friend for all they’ve been this year, do something extraordinary for them … bring them to #Fearless
