in my tenure at two leading business associations, facing huge and complex consumer issues, i have benefitted enormously from the objective advisory skills of bill and his team. they do their homework, they are rigorous, dispassionate and thoughtful. turning questions into answers is a clever tag, but it’s also an apt description of the professional talents of the firm .
having worked with a lot of voice actors, adam is one that easily stands out in the crowd. he is not only a great guy to work with, but also brings with him obvious experience, excellent, detailed performances, and a breadth of characters and voices. i have and will continue to recommend his talents for any project i work on. ”
there are certain people in this world that make a major impact in our lives as we understand who they are and the trials they faced before they became legends. there are various documentaries of these individuals, but a biographical movie would be a major achievement for a man who has shaped the comic book industry with his gifted talents and imagination. may the actor who portrays the king comics be true the character and his life .
for example, as a fiction author, i recognise that my strengths and talents include characterisation and story structure. i am not naturally gifted at website design, but i know i want to build an author platform which includes an author website. that’s why i decided to go for a simple self - hosted wordpress website using a free theme that they provided. i can update pages and blog posts in minutes. no fuss. no time wasting .
you hear motoring journalists talking about the
sweet spot
all the time. stereotypically, the sweet spot won' t be a range - topper, or a base model – it' ll occupy the middle ground; however this isn' t a set - in - stone rule. a sweet spot car is where everything is finely judged, and not one of the car' s abilities or talents overpowers any of the others. it' s all about harmony .
like an arrow shot from the bow of a god, i had - for 15 years - ascended into the heavens of successful, professional manhood. without really thinking about it i had been president of the national union of students, a researcher, then - in double - quick time - a producer on the cerebral tv current affairs show weekend world, and finally, in the line of ascent, at 33, the founding editor of a new politics programme for the bbc. it was clear to me - as it seemed to be clear to the world - that i possessed unusual talents. who knew how golden the future might not be ?
for a man under constant criticism, he is relaxed, his smile occupying much of the wide face under those big glasses. thatcher has gone, and he has probably saved the bbc, and what can he do for me? now, i know that i must not moan, sound negative or attack my superiors in the organisation. if i do, he' ll just think that i' m yet another desperate misfit (which, of course, is exactly what i am) and i' ll be doomed to 20 years of sisyphean futility. so i talk about having been in the one job too long, and feeling that my talents might be better deployed... and, absurdly, feel tears of frustration gather behind my eyes .

50 cent ’s life is like a movie, so it makes sense that he’s writing one. the rapper is working on a feature film, before i self - destruct, which is based on his album of the same name. “it’s not purple rain, ” 50 says of the flick, which he also directed and produced. “but it was inspired by the actual music. ” (his album is due out december 9th; 50 plans to release the movie simultaneously. )
the film — which isn’t autobiographical — aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as “urban life” in a new way: “when [ movies ] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect, ” he says. “but i showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were. ” he adds, “there are always options. people just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place. ”
as for a soundtrack, tracks from before i self - destruct the album will be missing from the movie. “then interscope would automatically have the rights to it, when they had absolutely no ownership of the actual material, ” says 50, who penned a separate score for the film and recruited unsigned artists to record vocals. but that doesn’t mean the tunes are sub - par. “i kept the music up to standards, ” says 50. “i worked with it until it was right. ”

cast your mind back to your childhood for a moment, and ask yourself why goldilocks preferred baby bear' s bowl of porridge? because it wasn' t too hot; it wasn' t too cold – it was just right. she found the sweet spot, and as a result she got to enjoy a delicious meal before having to run for her fucking life !
in the motoring world, finding the sweet spot doesn' t usually conclude with a comparable drama; it usually results in someone falling in love with a car that presents a level of everything, that is perfectly balanced .
the sweet spot is of imperative importance in the automotive world because it more often that not is the place where the essence of driving pleasure can be found. the horsepower wars of present have resulted in some truly ferocious monsters – but power and performance can reach a point where they overwhelm the driver, and therefore dilute the amount of pleasure there is to be had .
the sweet spot is all about driving pleasure, and therefore it is a phrase that can be said of the greatest driver' s cars the planet has ever seen. if you care about driving more than anything else, and you want to buy a car that you can use purely for the job of driving and not simply as a tool, then you will probably end up with a car that occupies some form of sweet spot .
the golf gti, the jaguar f - type v6s manual, the bmw m2, the porsche 911 gt3, the mclaren 570gt – they are all examples of sweet - spot cars .
like everything however, the sweet spot is completely subjective; what will be an ideal balance for one person, won' t be for another. but the paradox of the sweet spot shows that driving pleasure isn' t necessarily about huge power, for the most gratifying driving experiences you can have will be delivered in something that has an absolutely glorious sweet spot .

you already hold within you the superpower which is going to provide the fuel for your success .
your superpower is the strengths and abilities you already possess that make you feel most alive and excited .
“society’s relentless focus on people’s shortcomings has turned into a global obsession. what’s more, we have discovered that people have several times more potential for growth when they invest energy in developing their strengths instead of correcting their deficiencies. ” tom rath
we all have things that we do well, and things that we do less well .
the challenge is that, for most of our lives, we have been taught that we have to find ways to make up for our shortcomings. so we study to pass mathematics or english examinations at school, for example, when actually we are naturally athletic and love to study science and human biology .
the media presentation of a hero or icon is someone who has spent thousands of hours learning a new skill, so they can succeed in a particular sport or business. overcoming weaknesses, lack of natural ability or challenges is seen as something to be applauded and celebrated .
we have all heard the expression — “ you can be anything you want to be, if you just try hard enough ” .
would you go back to university for example, or spend more time travelling to research a topic you feel passionately about? would you take yourself off on a writing retreat in a fabulous location for a month? go wild! you can go anywhere and do whatsoever you want .
give yourself permission to retune your energy and emotional power back to those things which truly delight you .
this could be soft skills such as empathy, listening and caring, as well as technical and business skills such as computer coding, proofreading, copyediting and interior design. if you enjoy volunteering in the community, what aspects are you drawn to ?
give yourself permission to ask those friends or family members who know you best what they feel are your special gifts .
if you have a spare hour to spend on your own each day, how would you spend that free time in total self - indulgence? these are the tasks you would instinctively do because they energise and engage you and you love to spend time in that zone .
for example, not everyone can run marathons, bake bread, sew their own clothes, write short stories, research military tactics and create spreadsheets and slide decks .
your reply might include something you are proud of achieving in your life, from climbing mount everest to being a single parent to teenagers, or a skill you have developed over the years, such as oil painting, making silver jewellery or website coding .
when you carry out those tasks you feel comfortable and know that you are in control of the work .
give yourself permission to step up and reply with a list of skills and strengths that make you happy, which might have nothing to do with your academic qualifications .
give yourself permission to accept your strengths lie in a particular way of working .
question 7. do you feel that you have any skills and abilities you have pushed to one side because of your other life choices? think back to when you were 9 years old, then 15. can you remember what you were obsessively interested in? what did you love to do ?
give yourself permission to look back and recall a time in your life when you instinctively knew that you were good at something and enjoyed it and wanted to learn more .
now take a moment to read through your answers and spot any common themes that might emerge .
do you prefer longer research based projects such as extensive craft projects or writing non - fiction books, courses and educational materials, where you can learn intricate detail about your topic, or short projects you can complete in the fastest time possible .
now that you have recognised and honed in on your natural potential and passions there are bound to be areas of your ideal business project where you are not going to have the talent or skillset to excel .
it is all too easy to use this as an excuse to feed your negative self - talk and self - doubt .
instead, the strategic approach is to stay positive and recognise and accept that you are the best at every aspect of your project and you will have to take action to correct that deficit .
you don’t do anything and instead spend all of your energy on your strengths .
i know several fiction authors who want to focus on their superpowers, creating compelling fiction, and would rather eat their own feet than learn how to market and promote their work. they don’t have any social media or other kind of platform and refuse to do so. their work is sold and distributed by their publisher without any involvement from the author .
these authors recognise and accept that marketing their author branding is not an area they want to spend time on and have made the informed decision not to do so .
you use the pareto 80 / 20 principle and learn just enough about the gap in your knowledge to achieve an effective level of results which gets the job done .
this can be the best way to maximise your time so you can focus on your talent. the trade - off is that this aspect may not be perfect but it works .
i am not an expert but i can follow the video tutorials and instructions to achieve a website which works well and is easy to maintain .
other authors have learnt how to do facebook advertising and how to self - publish their work on the online publishing platforms using free online tutorials .
you delegate those skills and pay someone who is an expert to do the work for you .
which parts of your project you select to outsource to freelancers or experts will depend on the type of project you are working on, but the objective should always be to recoup your investment as quickly as possible .
for example. many authors who self - publish their work, including myself, pay for editors to review their manuscript and professional cover design for their book. these investments not only cut out months of the learning cycle but the quality of the final result will be better .
these are legitimate business expenses for services which will help your work to stand out from the crowd, and deliver a great experience for the reader .
“one thing to keep in mind… is that the most successful people don’t take on everything themselves. they focus on their strengths and delegate their weaknesses to specialists. some authors try to do too much themselves and end up shooting themselves in the foot because they end up with a weak link. ” derek doepker
productivity, put simply, is the name that we give our attempts to figure out the best uses of our energy, intellect, and time as we try to seize most meaningful rewards with the least wasted effort .
it is a process of learning how to succeed with less stress and struggle. it’s about getting things done without sacrificing everything we care about along the way .
productivity isn’t about working more or sweating harder. it’s not simply a product of spending longer hours at your desk or making bigger sacrifices .
rather, productivity is about making certain choices in certain ways. the way we choose to see ourselves and frame daily decisions; the stories we tell ourselves, and the easy goals we ignore .
“the superheroes you have in mind (idols, icons, titans, billionaire, etc .) are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximised one or two strengths. humans are imperfect creatures. you don’t succeed because you have no weaknesses; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them. ” tim ferriss .
“ hope is not a strategy, luck is not a factor, fear is not an option. ” tee - shirt logo from the movie avatar created by james cameron .
from a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story .
young, gifted and on the way to top of the tv tree, david aaronovitch stumbled, and found himself in the foothills of the bbc scrapheap. would a management course set him back on the right track ?
and then, before reaching the stratosphere, my little stick faltered, lost momentum and began slowly to sink to earth. i' ll spare you the institutional details. a mistake here, a bit of bad luck there, and approaching my 38th birthday i was to be found in a broom cupboard in the bbc' s westminster hq at millbank doing a job that no one really wanted done. despite this, i couldn' t get out of it. worse, my immediate boss didn' t like me, and had convinced himself of my uselessness. word had spread .
so, there i sat, wreathed in the fug of 18 fags a day, alternately playing nobunaga' s ambition on the office pc, and dealing with the endless bickering about rotas and foreign trips that diverted the bbc' s troop of political correspondents from the simple truth that too many of them had too little to do. i was, for the first time in my life, depressed - and this depression was deepening. from unbearably arrogant i had swung dangerously towards embittered, and embitterment is usually a terminal condition .
naturally, i was horrible at home. partners and babies are less superficial adjuncts of the real business of a man' s life than they once were. the black dog snarled and yapped at those who succoured it. you only really appreciate the scale of a personal crisis like this when it has passed. nevertheless i understood that something radical had to be done. i needed to regain control of my destiny somehow .
redemption. scene 1. a nicotine - stained and fag - ash - strewn study somewhere in kentish town. a pathetic - looking man enters, slouching. he opens a drawer in a desk and takes something out. then, setting his weak jaw in a parody of determination, he grits his yellow teeth, and tears the object - which we now see to be a packet of silk cut extra longs - in two. it is not the first time that he has done this, the poor weak sap, but it turns out to be the last .
redemption. scene 2. i am now to be found in the office of the deputy director general of the bbc, an extraordinary, wedge - shaped art nouveau place, set in one half of the second floor of the prow of broadcasting house. i have asked for this meeting to seek the ddg' s advice on what i should do next, and he has agreed to meet me .
if he notices the wobble in my voice, the ddg does not acknowledge it. after having heard me out courteously, he gently prescribes his own patent medicine - a management training course. in his view, there is nothing wrong with most people that a good management training course cannot solve. he' s been on several himself, and there are lots of different ones specially adapted for almost every situation. why don' t i call the nice people at management training, and fix myself up? at the very least it may help to clarify my goals. and - he doesn' t say - if anyone ever needed their goals clarifying, it' s me .
redemption. scene 3. the ivy restaurant. this is where alan yentob ate back then, and may still do today. and my long - suffering partner had decided that the ivy was the place where we would celebrate my birthday. at 8pm we turned up between its posh portals and presented ourselves at the desk .
what name, madam ?
asked a suave, slim, dark young man with - i thought - a supercilious set to his thin mouth .
powell .
the young man screwed up his eyes and searched the short list in front of him .
i am afraid we do not have a powell ,
he announced .
but ,
my partner protested ,
you called me earlier today to confirm our reservation !
suave searched once more .
ah ,
he said triumphantly ,
but you then cancelled it. you see? we have you down as having phoned in to cancel .
bewildered, my partner tried again .
look. i didn' t call. why should i? could you look again ?
heaving a big sigh, suave returned to his book .
yes ,
he said finally ,
i think i see the problem. some people called power had a reservation which they cancelled, and your name was crossed off instead. unfortunately all our tables inside are now taken, but i can offer you a table out here .
he pointed at a couple of forlorn, unlaid tables near the entrance .
it' s the best we can do .
up till this moment i had never argued with anyone in a restaurant. i had never sent anything back, or queried a bill, or refused to pay service even for the most tardy and incompetent waitering. but, that night, this is what i said :
last week my partner made a reservation at this restaurant, and this afternoon it was confirmed. we have arrived here to discover that you have - in error - cancelled our table. at first you tried to suggest that it was she who had made a preposterous mistake. only when she insisted, did you check, and discover that it was you who had been at fault. but even then you did not apologise. far from it. instead you offer us a windswept exile in the siberia of your entrance hall, and you do it as though we should be grateful. but we are not grateful. i very much doubt whether you would treat alan yentob in this way. good night .
we swept out. and i hadn' t felt so good for years. the ivy' s loss became the spaghetti house' s gain .
aftermath. i haven' t tasted a cigarette for five - and - a - half years, and my lungs feel as if they have functioning alveoli again. i have never returned to the ivy restaurant, but - should its owners read this - i am prepared to forgive over a free meal and a complimentary bottle of champagne. there will be five of us at table. it' s the least i can do for sarah and the children .
and i went on the training course that november. it was entitled
the effective senior manager
and was held over three days at a country house in surrey. four of us, from different organisations, made up a little group in which we discussed our past careers, our high points and low troughs, and talked about our strategies for the future - all interspersed by peculiar topological diagrams on overhead projectors .
as was the plan, this group met again four times in the next year to evaluate its progress, and to offer advice and support to each of its members. there was decent angus, a former wing commander, now bursar of an oxbridge college; jim, a mercurial, brilliant and irritating engineer from british rail, and doug, production manager at a midlands factory making plastic packaging .
