"In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities. In
the expert’s mind, there are few." - Shunryu Suzuki
My journey into EO started in 2015 when I was ready to revert back to the beginner’s mind.
At that stage, I had only been in business for 5 years but already felt like it was a lifetime after living and breathing it each day.
The "fake it till you make it" mentality that helped me launch the business in the early days was starting to wreak havoc
on the entire business and life. I experienced what I call a "bakedown", which made me realise that pretending to know all the answers was causing me great damage.
So, I emptied my mind of what I thought I knew in order to download more.
Since my EO journey began, the forum has been a core pillar of growth in my life. One particular memorable moment stands out to me -- it was when one of my forum members shared this gem with us...
"In 12 months' time, I want to look back at the person I am today and be embarrassed. If I’m not embarrassed by who I was a year ago, I’m not learning enough."
Looking back to when I stepped into my first forum, I am proud to say I’m completely embarrassed by the person I was back then. What a gift of a perspective to have.
Warmest regards,

BlueRock
Could you improve your cash flow and security by reviewing your insurance premiums?
Every recession or market disruption gives business owners a harsh reminder that it’s important to regularly review your
expenses and, where possible, improve your cash flow. Insurance is an area where we have been able to save our clients thousands of dollars in premiums while still effectively managing their business and personal risk. COVID-19 has also seen new trends emerging, such as increased employment and OH&S disputes as well as more cyber-attacks and data breaches as a result of online and remote workplaces. This is why businesses can’t afford to be complacent when it comes to their insurance cover. BlueRock is currently offering an obligation-free
review of your insurance products, to make sure you’re saving as much money as possible while still protecting your business and your family. Our insurance review focuses on:
reviewing sums insured and temporarily reducing
discretionary cover
adjusting declared financials for business affected by COVID-19
remarketing the risk to ensure the best available premium
investigating premium funding options to preserve cash flow
Many companies come to us because they need office space, coworking, meeting rooms & event spaces but actually stay long term because of the culture we foster. We are the home of many small, medium and enterprise businesses that operate out of our buildings. We pride ourselves on being a first-class
facility and all you need to do is bring your own device & people + plugin & focus on what you do best… We’ll take care of the rest!
As an EO Strategic Alliance Partner, we’d like to offer EO members EXCLUSIVELY 50% off first 2 months on a 12-month term for any of our memberships.
