What we do can be boiled down to helping you think differently about your life and the finances that support you.
It’s only with new thinking that you can see and feel differently and open yourselves to new, better outcomes.
To be frank, the same goes for us, which is why it’s so important we find time for reading, listening and thinking.
So, in short, nobody can be convinced of anything without their thinking changing. Let me give you a really good example I heard the other day.
In 2006 this was the best-selling mobile ‘phone:
Quaint, eh? 130 million were sold worldwide, it was cutting edge, did everything we could possibly imagine, at least that’s what we thought.
How could it possibly be improved?
The iPhone was launched in 2007; chalk and cheese.
In an instant our thoughts about what was possible with this little device changed forever. A decade later, the benefits of smart ‘phones are being enjoyed by hundreds of millions worldwide.
You don’t agree? You wouldn’t go back to a Nokia 1600, would you?
Is the iPhone the be all and end all? No, many may think so, but it isn’t. What comes next? No idea but I bet it changes the way we think about communicating.
And so it is with your life and finances.
Until we have those conversations that stretch the boundaries of what we think we know, how can we be sure there isn’t newer, better thinking to be had?
And what improvements in your life might that thinking bring?
It’s really important we think about what we know we don’t know, and try and do something about it. At least, that’s how it looks to me.
How else will anything change for the better?
