A Quantum of Solace

With all the recent turmoil in the business world isn’t it interesting that the iconic British hero, James Bond is looking for a Quantum of Solace. Literally ‘the required amount of comfort in distress’ a quantum of solace is something most business owners need right now. Ask yourself this – When (if ever) was the last time you “escaped” for a few days of solitude? A habit of successful CEO’s and business leaders is that they take themselves off once every 12 months and go for 2 or 3 days for some personal reflection (the spouse/partner/children must be left behind!). And we should all take heed. Most of us have a few special places we’ve been to that offer the ideal place to unwind– maybe in the mountains, national parks or by the sea. There doesn’t have to be a particular agenda - the main thing is to clear your mind and refocus on the things that are most important in your life. It may be best to plan absolutely nothing for the first day – treat yourself to a nice lie-in and perhaps a leisurely walk. Over the remaining days you can do a personal SWOT analysis (strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats), look at your likes and dislikes, work/life balance, goals, aspirations, dreams, etc. An exercise you may like to try over a full day, after finding somewhere peaceful to sit/laze around, is the following: For the 1st two hours – Just let your mind wander aimlessly, you’ll be amazed where it takes you! For the 2nd two hours – Take your mind back to early childhood and slowly bring yourself back to the present, focusing on all the positive things and all that you’ve learnt and achieved. For the 3rd two hours – Think about the present, where are you today. What’s most important to you and what have you got to be thankful for? Reflect on your goals and decide to achieve them (expect positive outcomes). Many of you may well be thinking your spouse or “significant other” may not be too appreciative of this concept. It may well help to lay some seeds before announcing you’re off next weekend! However, you may be surprised how supportive your partner is – they’ll definitely thank you in the long run, as you will yourself. In these uncertain times a Quantum of Solace is something we should all have.
