If you think you can do a thing can or you think you can't do a thing, you're right.

Having attended a Micro Coaches session today with a group of great people who are all achieving great things in their respective areas and intending to keep on doing this across the East of England.



It reminded me of the quotes of Henry Ford. Very often the only thing that is stopping us achieve our goals and our dreams is ourselves. Whatever your view is on Henry Ford, he managed to achieve greatness through sheer determination and hard work. More importantly he totally believed in his ability to one day achieve his dreams.



It also gave me the opportunity to share my sons story of when his school suggested the write a story and produce a drawing of their "Future Life". He decided that he wanted at the age f seven to become an accountant and professional golfer.



Before you say he probably won't make it, I don't know. There is no pressure for him to achieve it especially since he decided that at age 7 and he is now aged 9. What I do know that it has given him a direction and a goal to reach for. He works hard at his maths because he believes that it will help him in the future, he has quizzed his uncle who is a chartered accountant and asked us to get him golf clubs for Xmas last. He now regularly has golf lessons to improve his game. prompting me to consider taking it up.



Whether he actually reaches his goal is of no consequence it will be the journey and the process that he will have gained. In fact he may surpass his goal and do something that better suits his personality later in life.



It is something that we all need to look at and try and establish. What are our plans for our future lives?

Launch of Activ People in the community

With 20 years of experience in developing businesses and in particular the creation of employment businesses means that we are developing the duplication concept of enabling organisations and individuals to generate income through the work they already do.

As many organisations have employment outputs to achieve this opportunity supports the achievement of those outcomes by proactively sourcing employment from targeted employers for job ready clients or providing work experience for those that aren't in some cases.

Employers are now very used to the need to use an employment agency for both permanent and contract recruitment. Managed correctly contract recruitment with support through caching and mentoring can lead to a permanent position as we found at the Turning Corners project developed for the Marsh Farm Community Development Trust. All community organisations and charities are doing is moving into this market as a social enterprise with the support of a back office support organisation.

The team at activ people have experience of setting up new location offices, careers guidance, project management, the further and higher education sector enabling them to give a comprehensive package of support all for a small monthly fee.
