This afternoon I got round to doing a long overdue job which involved some really repetitive analysis of figures over the last year. I know, I know I should have done it before but I was dragging figures from my Google Adwords campaigns and PayPal for my other business (www.backbliss.com) to see how I was doing. November and December are traditionally very busy months for me and I wasn’t ‘feeling it’ this year but now I have done the numbers, I can see that Christmas doesn’t normally kick in until the last week of November…. Anyway……..
When I do jobs like this I normally have something on in the background and being able to watch TV (or at least listen to it) on my computer can really take the drudge out of some tasks.
Today I watched an inspirational programme from the BBC entitled ‘Peter Jones: How We Made Our Millions’. http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b0175q02/
“Dragons’ Den star Peter Jones meets two of the country’s most well known and successful entrepreneurs to get into the DNA of what made them millionaires.
Peter gets to grips with Richard Reed – co-founder of Innocent, the smoothie company with a 165 million pound turnover, and Michelle Mone, the self-made inspiration behind the multimillion pound Ultimo lingerie business. He finds two very different characters as he takes them back to their childhoods, examines their personalities, studies their business models, asks what they are like to work for, and discovers what it was that drove them to be entrepreneurs.
Having built up his own multimillion pound empire, Peter knows how to get inside the minds of these inspirational business leaders who don’t take no for an answer, as he attempts to find out if there really is a blueprint for success.”
I can’t recommend this programme highly enough as it gives some great insights as to why people do what they do and how it feels to be an entrepreneur! Nuff said!
