PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

Dear Claire,

Are you a hedgehog or a fox?

The fox, a cunning creature, is able to devise multiple complex strategies for sneak attacks on the hedgehog. The fox eagerly waits for the hedgehog to wander on its path each day to be able to pounce and say, “Ahah, I’ve got you!”

The hedgehog rolls its eyes and says, “Here we go again, will the fox ever learn?” and rolls into a ball with its sharp spikes flaring out. The fox, midway through pouncing, sees the hedgehogs defence and calls off the attack.

Each day, this game of fox and hedgehog continues, but despite every calculated attack, the hedgehog always wins.

Last month, we saw 75 of us from EO Melbourne join in a stellar exclusive event with Jim Collins. As I trawled through my list of learnings, one key learning rolled out at me... the hedgehog concept.

EO is a whole entire ecosystem of valuable connections, a support network to help you stay on course, a gateway to a life without limits. Use it.


Warmest regards,
