I love to support and to work with a person who is a “Ferrari”. Read on, and if you recognise yourself here, I’d love to talk to you and support your journey. This can start with a call, a cup of coffee, and out of this I know we will connect you to something in and for you on your journey.
So, are you a Ford or a Ferrari? Both are cars with merits, but why would you use a Ferrari to do the work of a Ford? You could drive to work, drive around in traffic, run an errand, do anything routine in a Ferrari, but it is meant for, born for, yearns for more. A Ferrari can drive slowly, it can carry you from A to B, but is that realising the potential of such a magnificent car?
To me, the greatest Ferraris all have V12 engines, and there is nothing like the sound of a finely tuned V12 in full song with all 12 cylinders in harmony being used to the full.
In my experience, these are three main types of “Ferraris” in human form.
Choosing to operate on less than 12 cylinders
- We all know what a Ferrari looks like, but humans can hide their “Ferrariness” and can go through life operating at less than our full potential and choose the easy and safe options without anyone knowing they are only operating on a few of the cylinders in their V12 engine, hiding their potential.
Unaware we even have 12 cylinders
- How we all live our lives is a choice, but are we all conscious of our potential? As Suki Smith says, “Awareness is the greatest agent for change”. If we are truly honest with ourselves, are we a Ford making the most of our 4 cylinder engine or a Ferrari barely using the power of the 12 cylinders it has, or somewhere in between?
Ferrari V12 in need of a tune-up
- We will all have setbacks in life and business, and sometimes we need a tune-up to get back to living and operating as our full selves.
I leave you with the beautiful and full-throated song of a Ferrari V12 living to the full potential it has.
If you know this is you, do you, will you choose to live life as a V12 singing your song?
