It's typical. One minute I'm mapping out the next few weeks' worth of business building, the next minute my boss calls and I'm expected to be at the other end of the country for 2 weeks. In a hotel, Monday - Friday.
The hotel will be the cheapest possible, which means there won't be a gym, and my food allowance probably won't cover the cost of 3 meals a day where there's limited choice of places to eat. I'll be isolated, in an area where there's no supermarkets or local corner shops, where it won't be safe to go for a walk as a substitute for the lack of gym in the cheap hotel.
In one phone call, I could see my health, wealth and family goals disappear over the horizon. I was not happy.
Then I stopped, and thought, "What if ...?"
What if ... I just rearranged my business targets for those two weeks, rather than give up completely?
What if ... I took some basic exercise equipment with me?
What if ... I made arrangements in advance so I could continue to eat healthily?
What if ... I set up a way of keeping in touch with my family, including arranging visits to my mum in her nursing home?
Whereas previously I would have thought, "That's it, I'm obviously not meant to be doing this much", I'm now thinking, "What if ..."
Looks like the personal development habit is kicking in. This is going to be an interesting journey.
What was your "What if ...?" moment?
