September’s PIM saw an excellent presentation from lifestyle expert Gill Barham.
Gill focused on the importance of health and wellbeing to anyone who wants to build a successful business – and the links to financial outcomes. Of course it’s very easy for entrepreneurs to get distracted, with so many aspects of a business to consider and manage – but it’s crucial.
As Gill pointed out “Wellbeing” is “being in a contented state of being healthy, happy and prosperous”. Of course, they are all linked and wellbeing is much more than absence of illness – and needs much more than crisis management.
Gill’s recommended holistic Wellness Programme has 4 key elements:
1 – Self Improvement
- Invest time and money learning how to be successful
- Look at the habits of successful people
- Be the person you really are
2 – Self Care
- Make time for what nourishes you
- All successful people have people to help them do this – eg personal trainers
- If you neglect yourself and your health, success is pointless
3 – Self Growth
- Be authentic
- Work in an industry you love
- Don’t be one of the people who spend their lives in a job they hate
4 – Self Awareness
- Be aware of what makes you happy
- Make sure your relationships are healthy and fulfilling
- Make sure your work is fulfilling
As Tony Robbins says, wellbeing and balance are directly related these 4 key factors.
Gill didn’t just give lots of great advice, she was also practical – she had everyone busy completing her detailed and eye-opening wellbeing form, designed to identify underlying wellness issues or positives on a huge range of topics. Everyone was surprised at some of the issues that showed up.
This was an excellent and useful presentation, full of advice from a specialist genuinely dedicated to helping people improve their health, rather than focus on illness. If you missed it, you missed out!
