Community Spirit

What would you be prepared to do for your friends?

For those who have read the E-Myth - I wandered into the world of business after having an Entrepreneurial seizure. For those who haven't read the E-Myth - I decided to sack my boss and march into the world of business with no training or experience of what happens next. I knew that I could provide excellent services and that I would be better at it when freed from the dogma of other people's perceptions of how I should go about my business.

The reality was that I had no idea of what running a business was and spent over two years in the very harsh school of the idiots guide of how not to run a business. Indeed, I didn't even have a business as all of my services could only be performed by me - this is a job, not a business.

My major breakthrough, apart from reading the E-Myth, was to set up a community project through Walk Innovation. Through running a series of free events I have attracted people into my life who have helped me immensely. Walk Innovation has clearly given attendees many insights into their life, positive experiences and connections - who have quickly become friends. The support, enthusiasm and time that has been donated so kindly by those at my events has been quite incredible.

I have made mistakes to the tune of over £60,000 over the past two years and watched my life savings float away. Only the belief that I was doing the right thing prevented me from going back into my comfort zone and getting a job with someone else, resigning myself to the restriction of somebody else's rules. Every cell in my body knows that Walk Innovation is the correct path for me - even when my bank balance didn't. I now look at this as money well spent as I witness the wonder of community spirit unfold. The advice, help and direction that I have been freely given in the past weeks has been priceless to me and would have certainly cost several thousands of pound if I was to seek it on a professional basis.

The universe is truly a wonderful place now that I have allowed myself to receive it's gifts. Walk Innovation has provided an environment for people to connect - not just on a professional networking basis but as friends as well. A good business contact will do whatever they can for you as long as you pay for it. A good friend will use the law of reciprocity to do whatever it takes to make life better for you. This is something truly incredible.

This blog is dedicated to everyone who has helped me on my journey so far and to those who will in the future. I promise to do whatever I can to return the favour.

Much love,

Adam
