Have you come across the term ‘board of directors’ in respect to helping you enjoy and fulfil your life? Your board of directors are those people who you look up to, seek inspiration, advice, guidance and direction. These are the people you can count on in your life to help you out of awkward situations and to be their when you want to talk. It is so easy to get lost in the fog of life, so having people you trust on your board can help you maintain that forward thinking and prosperous mindset.

Without the board, you are on your own. In this case how do you see yourself and how do you make your way through the traffic of life? Do you believe in yourself? Do you believe you have what it takes to take control and seek what you want? You are unique therefore have been created to do great things. You have been gifted with insight, talents, ability and wisdom. You have everything you need to reach your dream or destiny.

If you are looking to become an entrepreneur, a leader, starting your own business then you need ideally you need mentor or mentors and these are your board of directors - surrounding yourself with people who have the same vision. Equally you need to believe in yourself especially if looking for ideas to build a business Working From Home.

Let’s interject with a short story.

Years before transatlantic flights were common, a man wanted to travel from Europe to the US. He worked hard and saved his money. Eventually he had saved enough to board a cruise ship. The trip at that time took between 2 to 3 weeks to cross the ocean. Having spent nearly all his money on the fare, he purchased a suitcase and filled it with cheese and crackers.

During the voyage, when it came to eat, he would make his way to the dining area, but instead of sitting at a table, crouched in a corner to eat his cheese and crackers. This routine went on day after day. He could smell the food being served up. Where many were complaining how full they were, he could only wish for the day to have a decent meal. But he had no extra money.

Towards the end of the trip and nearing the US, a man walked over to the person sitting in the corner and pointed out he had noticed him time and time again avoiding the good food and eating his cheese and crackers. He asked why he didn’t want to eat in the banquet hall with the others. The man in the corner felt embarrassed and explained how he only had enough money to buy a ticket for the journey across the ocean and had nothing left to buy food.

The gentleman replied, “Sir, didn’t you realise the food was included in the price of the ticket. The meals have already been paid for”.

When I first heard this story, how many people do you know have missed out and retreated into the corner. The man in the story had a goal, but he failed to address his shortfalls. True story or not, I feel this is not untypical of people making their way through life.

Are you a person sitting in the corner eating cheese and crackers or do you dine at the table? Don’t hold back. Take in the big picture. Develop a positive mindset, encircle yourself with positive and inspirational people (Your board of directors), take risks, believe and go out and do what it takes to get you to where you want to be.

Learn to play to win. Go out and change your ways and days today.

We can all aspire to achieve better things. It may be a case of changing direction and doing something you have never done, but always dreamt of. I’m helping people to think positively about the future and how best use their time. I believe that people can find a way within to pursue an idea and a vision. We all have the ability to take control of our lives, but many just don’t know it or know how.
