‘It’s all your fault!’ – Nigel Botterill  

Sounds harsh but it’s true.

I was invited to a local business event called the Richmond Expo in April where I heard Nigel Botterill give an inspiring talk about having your own business and becoming super successful. I’ve since joined the Entrepreneurs circle which is run by Nigel and it has been fantastic. I’ve learnt a lot!

One of the things he said that gave me a massive wakeup call was the statement ‘It’s all your fault!’. Everything that happens in your business, good and bad, is down to you.

‘The recession!’ I hear you cry, ‘That’s not my fault!’ No, but how you respond to it is. When faced with problems in business (and life) we have choices in how we deal with them. We can turn things into a positive if we want to. We live in a blame culture unfortunately and with all the ‘have you had an accident and it’s not your fault’ claim adverts constantly thrown at us we are pushed even more into the ‘it’s someone else’s fault’ mentality. It’s a coping mechanism. But if we can break that trend and take responsibility then it’s actually incredibly empowering!

I believe that the world is full of fantastic and exciting opportunities so take this moment to do something to take your career and your business to the next level!

You’re welcome to share statements below that have been wake up calls for you.
