Values, Beliefs & Behaviours
These days I am not chasing career goals or building a business, nor am I pursuing the almighty dollar. The values and beliefs below are right for me personally and reflect how I want to conduct all future business dealings.
As for the behaviours, they’re deeply engrained because they’re what I expect of myself.
Values
- Bring my best self to every encounter.
- Be appreciative. Appreciate the efforts of others and be grateful for life’s opportunities.
- Be caring. Take a genuine interest in clients and others with whom I interact.
- Be expectant. Life is too short to waste it on a mismatch. I will expect clients and others with whom I interact to do what is asked and to follow through on undertakings they have made.
Beliefs
- Having goals and plans are great, even essential. However seeing them through to accomplishment is even better.
- Make the most of the life you’ve got.
- “You are more than what you have become” – a line from a movie which embodies the essence of fulfilling your potential.
- Joy and confidence flow from being physically strong and functionally capable.
- Forget “Retirement”. Keep living your best life.
- It’s okay, often desirable, to take the road less travelled.
Behaviours
Those who know me will likely recognise most, if not all, of these.
- Be on time. Even better, be five minutes early.
- Ironed clothes and shiny shoes. Yep, it’s an old army thing.
- Do my best.
- Clean up afterwards.
- Be grateful.
- Say please and thank you.
- Where feasible, take the stairs.
- Be there for important family occasions.
- Do something active every day
