What have I learnt?

The time of year made me think about the changes that have been made this past year – there have been many trials and tribulations and I have learnt RIDICULOUS amount of lessons.

Friends have gone....

Boyfriend has changed...

Other relationships have blossomed up from the most unexpected places...

New areas of my life have opened up...

Old friends have reappeared...

And other things have remained constant(ish)...

It’s always important to look back at how things have moved as the world seems to move so blazingly fast you don’t notice the little changes. I have learnt who my real friends are, realised who I can and can’t tell my secrets to and know who I can rely on. Right at the beginning of coming back to university needless to say there was drama....

‘He said “don’t listen to your head if it’s saying things can’t work”....the scary thing is that my head was saying that...is he a mind reader... but the even scarier thing was that my head is usually right.’

I trusted my instinct and look at me now...I was right – to say I was right is an understatement:

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO RIGHT IN MY LIFE....

My thought however for writing this blog wasn’t to tell you all my private business but to draw a correlation between companies and personal lives.

Companies benefit from reassessing things too...whether it is at the end of the financial year...end of the academic year or just when they see suitable. Customers who just like friends will have swapped to another brand, suppliers just like partners might have left and set up business with someone else and new avenues for custom have opened up without them realising.
Just take a step back and see how things have altered.

Bring out the positives and do some damage limitation to stop the negative things happening again! Don't miss opportunities and keep your eyes open...

Most of all head into 2010 with a fresh head and a no nonsense attitude :-)
