I started reading Richard Branson's 'Business Stripped Bare' last night and already I am hooked. It is an easy read, hilarious at times (that guy knows how to live and what his priorities are in life) and is packed with invaluable information, not only for business people, for everybody.
One point that has really stuck with me, is his idea of 'there is no reverse on this thing.' Richard uses it in the context of business. Once you have started to invest in a new business or venture, you can't put it into reverse and change what has happened. What you can do is use what you have learned from the experience, to ensure that that situation doesn't repeat itself.
I think we can all learn something from this, we will never step in the same part of the river twice. So what positive learnings can you take from your experiences? How can they empower you to make decisions or changes moving forward?
No doubt there will be more insightful learnings coming whilst I read 'Business Striped Bare' so stay tuned.
