Join Up Dots Live In San Francisco
b"Today's episode is a combination of studio recordings and live presentation brought together as a very special episode of Join Up Dots. \\xa0 On the evening of the 19th September 2015, your host David Ralph performed a live version of Join Up Dots to the National Speakers Association in Northern California. \\xa0 Broadcasting from the UK to an airport in San Francisco via Skype, David brought his winning style and personality to the conference as he discussed Podcasting and the power of connecting a business by using a microphone. \\xa0 But actually this episode is so much more than this presentation. \\xa0 This episode of Join Up Dots is about taking imperfect action and working out what has worked afterwards. \\xa0 This is about giving something a go, which could well be a home run and drive you forward to greater success, but could also go badly wrong. \\xa0 You just don't know. \\xa0 You see in life more often not we all look at the successes of others, and assume that they had everything worked out before they begain. \\xa0 They were destined for huge success because they had the all the answers laid out in the perfect order in front of them. \\xa0 But that is never the case, and all success is built on faith, belief and more than a few mistakes. \\xa0 It's the mistakes that actually are the true power to success. \\xa0 These are the moments when you stop for awhile and try to work out what went wrong, aiming to find the true path to the goal. \\xa0 Do you always achieve your aim? \\xa0 Of course not, at least not at first, but unless you are willing to take imperfect action and give it a go then you will never even find the first path (be it the wrong one!) \\xa0 So today I urge everyone of you out there to look at something that you want to do, and move forward with confidence, safe in the knowledge that the worse that will happen is you need to start again and find the better way of operating. \\xa0 And I am sure that we can all do that.....don't you?"
