"My Boomerang Won't Come Back!"

[Dien Rice]

Hi Unpink,

My answer to this would have changed throughout various parts of my life!

Right now, I'm in a quite challenging part of my life... I have a very active 4 year old daughter... She seems to charm everybody, but for anyone who looks after her, she exhausts everyone too!

Her kindergarten teacher I think gave the best description... She said,

"She's very busy!"

(I think kids can start kindergarten earlier in Australia than some other places...)

So that takes a lot of time and attention from both myself and my wife...

(She is pretty charming though! She is also very clever in her manipulations... It's like a war of minds...!)

Okay, I think I got off the topic...

The fact is, everybody has different methods... And some may work for some, but not work for others, because they have different personalities...

I've known people who are working for themselves, who always have a set start time, work until it's the set end time, then stop... To do it again the next day...

That's never been my personality! So my "work schedule" is all over the map... and even more so now with an unpredictable kid (and I have to say, her equally unpredictable mother) I need to liaise with...

Sorry, this is not much of an answer.

Best wishes!

Dien

Spoiler alert: the punchline still makes me chuckle to this day:

"Don't worry, kid. I know the trick
And to you, I'm gonna show it
If you want your boomerang to come back
Well, first, you've got to throw it!"

Got me thinking today: what's the "trick" to achieving our goals?

For me, it's about taking the right actions daily.

I've found that most of the results that haven't shown up with regards to my business goals come from some missing or incorrect steps in my daily execution.

With the flood of business content today, it's easy to get caught up in popular advice that sounds good but doesn't lead to any results. That's why I'm forever grateful for genuine business teachers who share actionable fluff-free insights. Teachers like Gordon Jay Alexander and J F (Jim) Straw

What about you?
