My luggage got there last week and I had a great couple of days delivering training in Budapest!

Tricky old times eh?

With all the stuff going on in the world that is easy to get despondent about, I've been reminding myself that it's important to keep things in context where you can.

Now, I'm not going to tell you that there is nothing to worry about. Nor am I going to tell you that everything is going to be alright. I'm going to tell you something that is much more valuable in current circumstances.

It's about 'Circles of Influence'.

You have a circle of things that are within your control and a bigger one (it's a big world!), outside it, that is not.

The idea is straightforward enough. If you have no influence over it, spend as little time as possible thinking about it; or worrying about it.

Where you can move things from that bigger outside circle, into your own circle of influence, then do so. Where you can't, be honest with yourself and don't waste time or energy over it.

I know it's easy to say. I know that I'm not walking my own talk as much as I could, because the outside world is a worrying place right now. I'm just trying not to waste energy on things I can make no impression on.

To keep ourselves in a business context, you can apply this in the workplace too.

I know from your e-mails that many of you work in larger organizations where you often cannot influence the requirements of you that are passed down from 'on high'.

And how frustrating that can be - trust me, I've been there.

Yet by accepting that some things required of us are just that and pretty immovable, we can get past wasting emotional energy on them and focus on where we really CAN influence things - in the delivery of the outcome and the ways WE can approach that.

This way, we take some control back, focus on what we can do, and spend less sleepless nights on the things that are simply outside our own 'circle ofinfluence'.

That's as true of your own business scenarios as it is of the current challenges the world is facing.

For me, it's been a fascinating week. I'm about to launch 'Super Successful Manager!', a new 12 month subscription site for managers who want to 'fast-track' their development. I'll be sending you a special announcement during the week that will reveal the unique program I've been working on.

And, exclusively for readers of this newsletter, an amazing price lock-in for you, as a thank-you for reading and supporting me over the last few years.

Watch out for it!

Have a great week.
