    Setting a Contract with Yourself

    How To Set a Contact with Yourself Future Proof Yourself by Setting a Contract with Yourself Since the early age of 15 I decided to set a contract with myself in terms of my future career. I was still at school but started playing men’s football on Saturday’s afternoons and Sunday Mornings. I loved it so much that I promised I would never work weekends because of my love of playing football So for money I did a paper round and cut grass in the evening in the summer, so I could free up my weekends. Today is no different, I have been running my own business for over 21 years and I very, very rarely work weekends as I love my cycling and golf and walking with my wife. Yes I work long hours at the start of the week, early mornings and some late evenings but my contract is to keep David fit and fresh so no work at the weekends and no emails or messaging at silly hours. So what is your contract with yourself? Answering message and emails late at night and weekends? Saying yes to everything even if you know its going to eat into all you own time? Now if you are on a career bender and happy to work all hours and you love it and you are on a mission, well crack on, other wise thing about setting a contract with yourself. My wife was very naughtily doing some emails on a Sunday afternoon. She said, look at this, an email had been sent to over 200 people in her business, and with-in one hour 40 people had replied to the email and CC everyone else saying ‘this doesn’t apply to us’ has the world gone mad. Emails and messaging on holiday set yourself a contract one hour every two days if you really can’t not be contactable. Think when you get to your retirement age do you want to look back and say I am glad I spent so much time at work and not take all my holiday entitlement.   FUTURE PROOF YOURSELF BOOK: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/FutureProofYourself BOOK 2: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/DontJustRelyOnYourCV WEBSITE: https://davidyeabsley.co.uk/   PODCAST SUPPORT: https://anchor.fm/future-proof-yourself/support

    Managerial Courage

    How to Demonstrate Managerial Courage – Have You Got What it Takes  There comes a time as you take on management responsibility that you have to stop looking at others to provide the answer and others to be the leader. It is now down to you. Yes you, you have the title now for some action and leadership.  Two very important questions to ask yourself are; If it were your business, what would you do? If it were your business and money, would you employ the people that work for you?  You now need to think about making key decisions, think about if your area of the business was outsourced and you won the contract with your current team what would you do to keep your new business going to be profitable and effective and a good ROI.  Start to think about treating your directors as clients and showing real value by understanding the future needs of the business plus the commercials and how you and your team will contribute and be an excellent ROI. Now’s the time to step up and show Managerial Courage, come out of your comfort zone and contribute not just passive participation. Build a good network to support you, get a mentor / coach and accept any offer of the business to develop you with training and coaching.   FUTURE PROOF YOURSELF BOOK: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/FutureProofYourself BOOK 2: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/DontJustRelyOnYourCV WEBSITE: https://davidyeabsley.co.uk/ PODCAST SUPPORT: https://anchor.fm/future-proof-yourself/support

    How to Ask Really Great Questions

    How to Ask Really Great Questions. I have always used the phrase in Business ‘Ask Great Questions and then do something Equally Great with the Answers’. Whether you are in sales, A Manager, A consultancy, Architect, Production or Finance or, any other roles ask great questions and be inquisitive.   The people who ask the best questions, get the best information and there for can create the best ideas and solutions . It’s a Win /Win as people always love it when you show an interest in them by asking questions and being inquisitive.   So what questions should we ask well there are six simple words: What, Why, When, Where, Who, How  You just need to put these on your vocabulary and off you go, practice them and use them well. You find out so much more and people love it as it shows you are interested in them, as I say Win / Win.   So what great questions should you be asking?   FUTURE PROOF YOURSELF BOOK: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/FutureProofYourself BOOK 2: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/DontJustRelyOnYourCV WEBSITE: https://davidyeabsley.co.uk/ PODCAST SUPPORT: https://anchor.fm/future-proof-yourself/support

    How to be successful - Being good at what you do

    I know it is obvious, but it is really good advice. Whatever your chosen route is be very good at it.  What do you need to learn, study, get advice on or practice. Now there is a word ‘practice’. There is a great saying in sport. Why do amateurs play more than they practice and why do professional’s practice more than they play? It’s a really interesting concept that we all need to think about, could I be better at what I do if I practiced my talents more often?   If you have to negotiate a lot in your work: Practice; 1. Asking great questions 2. Listening 3. Being present 4. The art of silence 5. Keeping calm 6. reading body language and being aware of your own 7. your product/ industry knowledge 8. packaging deals 9. reaching agreement  So, what do you need to practice? Need any help please get in touch.   FUTURE PROOF YOURSELF BOOK: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/FutureProofYourself BOOK 2: https://link.davidyeabsley.co.uk/DontJustRelyOnYourCV WEBSITE: https://davidyeabsley.co.uk/ PODCAST SUPPORT: https://anchor.fm/future-proof-yourself/support
