Section A (89) I was hesitant to write this article the way I have because I know some people may misinterpret my intentions, so I will clarify them before we begin so there is no misunderstanding. (90) My reason for writing about parts of my professional journey is not to impress you, but to impress upon you how possible it is for us to create 'amazing' if we consider, apply, and embrace Certain principles. I don't think I'm amazing and I don't consider myself to be particularly gifted, but I do know that if I'm prepared to deal with some regular discomfort (hurdles, speed humps, setbacks, problems, challenges, and failures), then I drastically increase my chances of succeeding. (91) The more prepared I am to make mistakes, fall over and fail, the more likely I am to create long term success if I learn from my mistakes and adapt, grow, and change. Failure is merely a label people give certain events. I personally don't use the term, but I will for the purpose of this conversation. When I set up my first commercial business I was 26 years old. I had no real idea what I was doing. I thought I did but looking back, I didn't. I knew I wanted to set up a commercial Personal Training centre. (92) There were none in Australia, so I had no blueprint to follow, no mentors to rely on, and a whole bunch of people who informed me that the concept wouldn't work in this country. In my mind I had a picture of what I wanted to create (the end result). It was just all the in-between steps that I was a little grey on--a lot grey on. (93) I had no idea about commercial leasing (租赁) or how to communicate or negotiate with real estate people. I had no experience running a business or employing or managing staff. I had limited leadership experience. I had no experience dealing or negotiating with equipment suppliers. I had no idea about business plans. I had no marketing skills and no idea what 'branding' was. (84)
