Advice From Your Folks; Parental Gold
Lessons From Ron

When I was growing up my parents always owned businesses; a restaurant, a newsagency and a hardware store, just to name a few. And while Ron (my dad) was never afraid to download some paternal wisdom to yours truly, he rarely advised me in the area of interpersonal skills. Although when he did, there was the occasional gem to be found. I remember when I was a teenager working in the family hardware store he took me aside one day and shared this little treasure with me...

"You can only make one first impression."

So simple, so insightful, so obvious, so valuable and so relevant to so many areas of the human experience. Although in that moment he was talking specifically about the customers in the store, I realised it was actually a general life lesson that he wanted to teach me. I can honestly say that from a personal and professional perspective, it was one of the most important truths the old guy ever taught me and I have done my best to be mindful of that (often overlooked) insight ever since. Next Monday I'm going to expand (significantly) on this lesson from Ron and open the door on the very interesting topic of "Personal Branding"; the way we're perceived by the majority.

Your Turn to do Some Work

I don't really have time to write a (significant) post tonight (it's already after ten on Thursday) so I thought I would make today a group teaching session. That is, I'd like you guys (yep, even you lurkers) to share with us the most valuable lesson (saying, expression, insight, story) your parent/s taught you growing up as a kid. Yep, you're the teacher today. Do your best to keep it to a under a million words (or so).

So click on the link below and share some gold with us. Johnny will send a copy of "Fattitude" to the two best contributions - as voted by our extensive judging panel (him). And yes; to anywhere in the world. Thanks in anticipation and have a great weekend. If you're not sure how to leave a comment, click here.

Ciao x
