Nike got it right - Who's your cheerleader?

I think one of the main reasons I have so many wonderful networks is because I am a natural cheerleader. There's no way I would steer my friends into doing something stupid, wreckless or careless with their business, careers or family lives but if they are thinking about doing something good - I'm right there to cheer them on. And they know it.

Uncertainty is as constant as change. Hand in hand they often go. One causing the other and the other causing it. Having someone listen and support you is important. Someone who's been there and done that - and come out of whatever it was successfully - is even better. That's not to say that someone who hasn't made good choices isn't a great cheerleader either.

I've learned to value my cheerleaders because they want the best for me. They're excited when I tell them about new initiatives. They're helpful when I tell them the challenges I currently face. They're genuinely happy for me when I achieve my milestones. If someone springs to mind as you're reading this - it's likely that's your cheerleader.

If no-one springs to mind straight away, think about those situations in business, in sport, in parenting etc. You may have multiple cheerleaders. If no-one springs to mind again... drop me a note! I love to hear about others' success.

And what do I mean by Nike got it right? If it's good - JUST DO IT.
