Going to meet Seth Godin


Quite honestly I don't really know what is going on right now.
I feel like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly via a very painful cocoon.

Really 2012 was a very very steep learning curve. It was full of joy in many ways, the life lessons and business lessons I would not change one bit - even the agony will be worth the long term insight.

So that is on the way out. Then on the way in is this... I open my email and need to pinch myself, FreeAgent have emailed me my plane tickets to Mesh 2013 in San Francisco.

I knew this was happening but now it is actually booked.
Lisa Gansky told me about the event late last year on a phone call. She asked me where I was, it just so happened I really was standing on platform 9¾ at Kings Cross.

Going to the event is cool enough, the fact Seth Godin is taking part is just the icing on the cake. The fact the event is about business models and innovation is even more exciting.

I have to pinch myself too, I hardly get any email and the email I do get reads like my audible.co.uk library more and more every week. Most of the people we interview on the podcasts I co-host are people whose books I have been reading over the last few years. It is amazing.
Also as a result of the podcasts I am meeting more and more of these people, usually in a really interesting and educational setting rather than a book signing or crap awards show.

And now I'm off to see Seth Godin next month!

I have long subscribed to the idea from Viktor Frankl that in he space between stimulus and response there is a little bit called choice.  Indeed after reading Viktor and Primo Levi when ever I am stuck a tube train I think of how they travelled to the destination that gave them their stories to tell and feel imediatly choose to stop whining to myself. With the "choice" everything could go either way.

Tell me why I don't like Mondays

I have always loved Mondays but now I don't. In fact recently it has been the worse day of the week for me. Which is a pain in the arse. Tell me why I don't like Mondays? Or why don't they like me? As I work through being "the one with depression" if there is a day that I am going to crash it is Monday. It plays out like this.  I spend time to plan the week, making an organised list in my beloved asana.com so I am ready to go. Then Monday wake up, walk #babybernie to nursery (which is almost t

Should You Close or Keep Marketing Your Coworking Space Over the Holidays?

The Case for Taking a Holiday Break For coworking space operators in London, December is often a month of tough decisions. With the festive season in full swing, many wonder: “Should we shut down and take a break or keep pushing our marketing and communications to stay visible?” While closing and switching off for the holidays is tempting, there’s a compelling case for staying active — especially in a city where self-employed workers and freelancers rarely switch off entirely. Here’s a break
