Making Your Mind Up

This was the happy sight yesterday on a Hors Categorie Tours recce ride for their upcoming Peaks Primer cycling weekend (now only £75 they tell me ... 11-13th March).

Making Your Mind Up which cake to have is a nice problem to have (the banana and ginger was nice), but when it comes to deciding how to move your business forward or in a different direction is is a bit trickier.

If you have a job then you take for granted that whatever your day to day peaks and lows there will be a payment at the end of the month. When you run your own you can go months without a payment and it can take some getting adapted to.

At Spaceworks we like a musical reference and so thought it worth looking up what Eurovision Song Contest winners (1981 - Wogan supreme) had to say about Making Your Mind Up to see if it helped ... not all was useful, but maybe there is something in the advice that:

you gotta speed it up
and then u gotta slow it down

A reference to the feast and famine aspect of self-employment perhaps?

u gotta be sure that its something everybodys gonna talk about
before u decide the times right for making ur mind up

A call to making the use of modern marketing rechniques?

dont let ur indecision take u from behind
trust ur inner vision
dont let others change ur mind

Stick with it even when it is tough?

Mmm, maybe cake is the answer? Or maybe we should look at the wisdom of Lulu and Donovan on buiness planning ...
