I'm fired up and excited. I've learned several important lessons in the past few weeks. By learn, I mean really absorb and understand, as opposed to having a grasp of the concept. Putting ideas into practice. Taking action.

1 - If it doesn't exist, create it. You could wait forever for someone else to do it.

Instead of remaining frustrated and irritated that the types of resources I want are available only online or in London, I've decided to make it happen here. 2 - It's more productive and much more fun to launch something new with a buddy.

The project has come alive because I've partnered with someone who challenges and inspires me. I've given up being dysfunctionally independent.

3 - You don't need to know all the details of how, just what it is you want to deliver.

Once we agreed to do this project together, all our past experience in various fields became useful and we found help and support in all kinds of places.

4 - If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else?

Genuine enthusiasm is lovely to be around. And finding something I really believe in and doing it has me buzzing.

The project is a monthly evening event in central Brighton for people whose current work (or non work) isn't hitting the spot. Inspirational speakers, pragmatic and practical advice and networking on the theme of Fulfilling Work. If this is something you might be interested in, do join the Meet Up group and come along to one of the events.
