This is an opportunity to share some of those business gold nuggets and stop you in your tracks moments.

They may be real eureka moments or helpful confirmations or guides at moments of transition.
They may come out of the blue, or be the end result of a long and difficult search.

They are all reminders that inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time, the trick is to be open to it, to recognise it, and to act on it.

Here are some of mine:

Seeing confusing situations resolved when people step back and look from alterative perspectives.
A professional assessment of myself based on a series of psychometric tests.
Watching people who are highly skilled doing what they have mastered with passion .
The image of myself  continually journeying on the same huge roundabout.
The notion of six words that guarantee success “think things through – then follow through”.
The generosity of people who go to the trouble of writing books to share their enormous experience with anyone willing to part with a few pounds/euros/dollars.
