Fresh Ways of Working in The Great Outdoors

Posted on by Martin Murphy

A great day spent guiding a Down at the Social private Freshwalks.

I wondered about the recipe for a great day freshworking in the hills.

-Inspiring outdoor scenery ( They don’t call it the great indoors do they? 😉

-Interesting people (we’re all interesting but we just have to create the space and opportunity for us all to be discovered:)

-Insightful conversations (When you’re exercising and out in nature, you release a raft of positive neurotransmitters including Anandamide which boosts connections across the brain)

-Intriguing new ideas to discuss and mull over in the pub over lunch!

3 Types of Mindset

Posted on by Martin Murphy

Mindset differs for mavericks, rebels and change agents.

Mostly people are limited by the economic, political, social, academic and philosophical boxes they grew up in.

Some people can think outside the box, but they ask permission of the box.

Through fate or enlightened insight, there are those who can see the matrix of the box and want to find a socially just, sustainable and spiritually fulfilling alternative well outside the influence of the box…But not on Mars!

SOAR to Success Thinking! Make having brilliant ideas easy

Posted on by Martin Murphy

Our normal day to day working life or even just life itself can leave us feeling mentally confused. When we find ourselves so caught up in the whirlwind we often cannot see the wood for the trees.
In this fast-moving mental state, our brains are very capable at using past experiences to make a decision. In these situations, we make decisions intuitively and mostly this works okay. The more successful experiences we have built up over time in a particular field, the better our decision making will be when we face similar challenges in the future. That’s why experience counts in business. READ MORE

“…the way you get the most out of every moment you have on the planet, whether that’s personal or for business, is by acquiring new skills and by becoming better at what you do” Tim Ferris

Working towards business freedom

A great question Tim Ferris asks himself is:

“What can I put in place so that I can go completely off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks?”

A lot of the entrepreneurs I’ve spoken with have experienced work exhaustion. It’s easy for them to fall into the trap of being the hero who solves most of the problems that arise in the business themselves. As such, the longest holiday an entrepreneur would consider going on is about two weeks because that’s just enough time for them to go away and get back in time to put all the fires out. Plus, with today’s technology, there isn’t really anywhere in the world that people can’t still work from.

This is the classic entrepreneurial myth that business consultant Michael Gerber talks about in his book, “The E-Myth Revisited”. Entrepreneurs start businesses so they can enjoy more time, money and freedom. But entrepreneurs usually experience the opposite and have less of all three.

To enjoy a 4-8 week holiday “off-grid” a leader has to put in place systems. But not only that. They’ve also got to empower the team with some tools that allows the organisation to not only survive the entrepreneurs individuating from the business psychologically, but thriving. READ More

Step 3 – Direction

One of my earlier professions was as a personal trainer. It was working with clients who aspired to be fitter and healthier that inspired my quest for knowledge of the mind-body connection.

Often I would be faced with new clients who’d been struggling with their weight for some time. As such they were totally convinced that they were not the exercising type. What I learnt early on is that it is pointless arguing with a person’s weakness. If they said they were not capable of running, I would agree.  If I tried to convince them otherwise, they would only dig their heels in and prove their point through non-compliance. What I did do however, was to manoeuvre around this stand-off by developing ways to align their mind, body and purpose into triggering ‘flow’ states. READ More
