Neil’s Quote at the Beginning:
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.” Paulo Coelho
Other Quotes From the Chat with Whitney Vosburgh:
- “what is your purpose? What are your passions? What are your principles? What do you value? What are you for? Why are you here? What are you to do with what you have? What am I to bring to life? What am I going to put to work?”
- “I did not listen to my intuition in my 20s and early 30s – it got me into a lot of big trouble”
- “the most important thing is an entrepreneur or as a person is lifelong learning, continuous reinvention, maintaining, developing, growing a sense of curiosity, playfulness, being creative because you are brand you”
- “success is a completely individual thing. What makes one person successful has nothing to do with anybody else”
- “We are not human doings – we are not defined by our work. We are not human having – we are not defined by what we have or own because stuff is not stuff of life and usually stuff owns us. So as human beings living in the present then being human becomings – because we are always changing, all there is is change that’s where the secret is. Is becoming a ever greater expression of your higher self, fulfilling and living out your potential, your gifts”
- “we always have a choice in any situation, under any circumstances we always have a choice no matter what… We can either act, not act or react. The choice is ours on how we respond to any given circumstance.”
- “It’s about helping people, organisations, entrepreneurs, leaders shift from the old story of profit first to the new story of purpose first, from how much to why, from focusing on shareholders to focusing on stakeholders”
