Working From Home

Shut up and move on (S.U.M.O)

Paul McGee, the author of the book SUMO (shut up and move on) attended the Kleeneze Showcase Conference as the guest speaker. Paul was highly entertaining but more than that the wisdom imparted in the talk was something to definitely take home and put into practice. His wit and repartee shone through and was appreciated by 6500 plus audience.

Shut up and move on is about silencing the inner critic that we all have inside ourselves and moving on to take part in life once again by listening to the inner coach. There are times when life gets in the way, “stuff” happens and mistakes are made. These setbacks are all part of life’s journey to success and in order to be successful you have to do things that are uncomfortable. Otherwise, if you carry on as before you will continue to get what you have always got. So how do you get through the setbacks of life, by allowing yourself “Hippo Time”, what an excellent expression for self pity, this negative emotion that can leave us transfixed in time and space. However, as the vast majority of us dwell in this negative space, the recommendation is to allow you to wallow in this emotion and over mistakes gone past but move on, get over it.
