Tim:    Good day listeners, and welcome back to Freedom Ocean, episode 75. I am Timbo Reid, and right there is James Schramko. Jimmy James, good day mate!

James:           It's good to get you back on even though the circumstances are not favorable. The reason why you're available right now, tell us about that.

Tim:    Well, I don’t know how to break it, but I have a fractured radial head, which basically, I have fractured my elbow. I fell off a bike. And right now, literally, I've just come back from what was meant to be a 9-day bike ride, it turned out to be three for me, but my daughter did finish it, so I kind of hung around for her. So now I can literally, all I can do is sit on a microphone and talk on the phone.

James: Isn't it lucky that pretty much part of your job is you get paid to talk.

Tim:    Yeah, totally. It could be a lot worse. In fact, it was a lot worse for one poor fellow. He was killed on the bike ride.

James:        What, on the same one?

Tim:    Yeah. There were 3,900 people on this ride.

A lesson in perspective

James:          Isn't this a lesson in perspective? You'll have one guy who probably finishes the bike ride pissed off with his result, thinking you could have done better. Another guy has busted his arm, which is called ahead for some reason, and another guy has not even made it back.

Tim:    Correct.

James:        And so, no matter how bad things are going, there's pretty much always someone going worse.

Tim:    Might I agree with that. And whilst we're here to talk today about getting some support in your business, which will come to you shortly. Perspective is everything. One of the things I’ve noticed in the lead up to going away, 'cause I've been away for a few days, was that I've had a number of people just approach me, phone calls, members of my forum, people who have been at events that I've been speaking at, who are just kind of finding things a bit tough and whilst I don't take away from the fact that things might be a bit tough for them, I think perspective is a really powerful way of looking at things.
