"How many of you have a lollypop moment where a person said
something or did something that made your life fundamentally better"
Hey Guys,
This Blog, is
a teaser for what I am working on, A little story about someone amazing and
future posts I’ll be making that I hope will help others.
Following on
from today’s Daily Maxim – regarding opportunities often look like hard work
What Chris A.K.A Ashton says in his speech is so true
Everything around us, that we call
life – was made up by people who are no smarter than you, You can build your
own things
Recently I have
been putting in work, and now some major projects are underway that I am really
excited about. Not only am I excited about the problem I am solving, or the
people that will benefit from its use.
It’s the challenges I face, and the learning’s
I will get that just EXCITES ME.
Hedy – Just
an amazing person!
Just recently
I have been chatting to this fantastic lady Hedy who is a colleague of mine. Since
becoming a Business Architect we have crossed paths with friendly chit chat and
banter. I’m not the kind of person who just walks by while smiling – I actually
love to learn about people and their stories! So last week I grabbed my
opportunity with a prolonged yarn!
WOW, I am
always amazed at some peoples stories, what they do in their spare time, their
passions etc and Hedy was overflowing with passion! Just a few things I picked
up from her;
1.
Improvisational
Theatre (otherwise known as IMPROV)
2.
Travel
a. Upcoming adventures
b. Past adventures
3.
Social
enterprise
a. Chalkle
b. Enspiral
As we were yarning
about the above some amazing things happened – opportunities opend up!
When talking
about her “Upcoming Adventures” of going to Washington DC , I asked why. Her
Son wants to go there to see the Jefferson Institute… I asked, how old is your
Son, 16 she answered.. What an amazing thing for such a young person to want to
see! Hedy said he watches a lot of discovery & History channel. I asked does
she know what he wants to do when he older… she couldn’t imagine, what a bright
spark this child is – just that short blurt about her son made me think I use
to be like that.
I said to
Hedy – I am working on a start-up right now, that will help anyone who wants to
do their dream job, but doesn’t know how to get there or what skills are
required!...
I thought – Nice pitch,
perfect
Downside, She asked if she can use it now?...me No. NEXT :P
We careered
down a path of social enterprise, I am PASSIONATE about PEOPLE, and AIDING
their DREAMS, Social enterprise is a good vehicle for this!
Hedy, asked
if I would do some courses on Chalkle, “have you ever heard about Chalkle? No,
do they not have any courses on personal finance? I would love to tell me story
and lessons learned. I know I am not a registered financial advisor (and would
have to clearly state that) but there are basic lessons around personal money
management that can tear debt down and build a nest egg for you to choose to do
whatever you want with.
I now have
the details to get involved with chalkle and hopefully help many people out
there, no matter what comes into your account, daily, weekly, fortnightly or
monthly.

Sometimes opportunities float around
testing people, seeing who will lay idle or who is ready for the next step . That
day, one came my way – that I grabbed it.
I hope you
have enjoyed reading about an amazing person, get this she even knows people
who have left quite high roles.. and turned into erotic novelists !! how
awesome is that.
