My Dodgy Knee - Life Changing Moments!

3 August, 2007 - General Business - 1 Comment

Hello folks! I’m back! Finally, after a couple weeks of intense networking and spreading the love to our clients, I am back from the West side of the pond. I arrived back in the UK on Tuesday morning, but I’ve spent the time since then recovering from jet lag. 18 hours of sleep is such a fantastic feeling! :)

I have plans to rock the blogosphere over the next month. I will be guest blogging at several well established blogs. I have some very interesting interviews lined up with fellow entrepreneurs (I have a video interview on the books to be published soon), and I have some exciting news about my personal/business life which is going to make for some rather interesting blogging.

Vlogs will be back next week. I was planning to record two vlogs while I was in America but I didn’t have time. Oh, and then I left my laptop power cable in the hotel in Chicago. As a result, my laptop has no battery life left and I’m waiting for my new power cable to arrive. Once it has, I will be vlogging with a brand new microphone. :)

For today, I’m going to talk about life changing moments. The moments in life that define you. Define your character. Define your job. Define the people around you. Define how many green notes are in your pocket, and hell, these moments probably define how big your balls are (that goes for you women too! :lol: ).

When you really think about it, there are points in life that truly determine our future. When I think back through my life, I can pick out several key moments that define who I am today.

  • My dodgy knee - I used to play a lot of sport when I was younger. I was soccer captain for several years and I played for my district soccer team (I was selected out of hundreds, possibly thousands, of others). Had it not been for my knee injury which forced me to stop playing soccer, I would have never had so much time to devote to designing Web sites, and as a result, it’s quite likely I would have never started my own business. My Dodgy Knee - The best thing to ever happen to me!
  • Dropping out of college - If I had listened to what my teachers were telling me (Get good grades. Go to university) I would not be living the life I am currently. I would still be panicking about coursework deadlines and I would probably be working at a typical student job, earning just enough to pay for a round of drinks each week.

I’m sure there are a lot of other moments too which shaped the person I am today. The fact is, every decision we make changes the course of our lives. Are you sure the decisions you make each day are impacting your life in a positive way?

What defining moments have you had in your personal/business life?
