It feels like so much emphasis is placed on the “must have experience” requirement that many talented, passionate individuals with invaluable soft skills like adaptability, empathy, and a genuine eagerness to learn never get the chance to prove themselves. Everyone had to start somewhere to gain that experience, yet too often, people with kind hearts and strong work ethics are overlooked. They never make it past the recruiter’s desk—or even the AI screening—because they don’t check that initial box. Personally, I feel my background gives me a unique perspective, especially when it comes to safety. With my commercial aviation experience, I’ve undergone rigorous training in emergency procedures, from planned and unplanned landings to medical scenarios. It’s been drilled into us from day one, providing a strong foundation that has proven invaluable. That said, private and corporate aviation training is also exceptional, focusing heavily on personalized service and the unique needs of VIP clients. However, I believe the commercial experience adds an extra layer of preparedness in critical situations. It’s about finding the balance—valuing both the technical skills and the soft skills that come with passion, adaptability, and a willingness to go above and beyond. I hope more companies start recognizing the potential of candidates who may not tick every box on paper but have the drive and heart to exceed expectations once given the opportunity. Experience can be gained, but passion and dedication are invaluable from the start.

My friend posted this on Facebook yesterday: ‘I’m struggling to sleep at night because I’m dreading getting up in the mornings. I work in a school but honestly people don’t realise there is so much more to teaching then just being in class. There’s so much more paperwork involved then what people think. It’s not just planning and marking. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in reports the past few weeks. Haven’t seen my kids much. I’ve just been eating crap and feeling frumpy because I just haven’t got the time to go to any classes. Plus I’m too tired. I don’t want to do this year in year out. I can’t do it anymore. What else can I do?’ I’d like you to meet Clare. She is MY Best Friend in Business! See how I know where she hangs out. See how I know what is keeping her up at night. See how I know she is aware she doesn’t want to stay in teaching, but she doesn’t know what the solution is. When you know all about your Best Friend in Business you will know exactly what to write to stop the scroll. You will be able to create your offers because your offer will be the solution to her problems. You will know where she hangs out to find her because you have researched first to make sure she has this problem. Best Friend in Business free workshop is available to download now in my Bio. It will be the backbone of your coaching business and get you off on the right path to a successful business. Without your Best Friend you have no content to post about, no offers to create and you won’t have any clients. You’ll stay exactly as you are.

In the earlier stages of business, you don't know what you don't know yet. And that feels hard. You try everything to see what works for you. But you exert LOADS of extra energy in the trying. And sometimes that can go on for months and months until you think 'this just isn't for me' or 'I just can't do it' and you're tempted to give up. There is a quicker - and dare I say- less painful way! Learning from people who have done it before so you can miss out on some of the more epic failures that will set you back. For the month of November I'm going to be enrolling into my group coaching programme - The Living Room. This is for earlier stage business owners who want to create £5k a month or more and have a repeatable, reliable system to bring in clients. Here's what it's like inside and what you get - - Accountability from me and your peers to take lots of action - A plan to go out and meet ideal clients - Help with your marketing and messaging to speak to the best people for your offer - Help creating an offer that feels amazing for you to sell - at a price that supports your goals - Laser-focused coaching every week - Community - Mindset and belief coaching to help you take actions More info in the video! If this is speaking to you, let's hop on a call and you can ask me any of your questions. Link to my calendar is below 👇 👇

Are you struggling to find time for your personal development? Try this. Throughout my career I've always put everyone before myself, it's just how I operate and how I do business. The consequence? Personal development and learning is always put to one side. Huge mistake! If you neglect yourself you will not achieve what you want to achieve and also risk damaging your reputation. Here are 7 strategies to help you grow: 1. Prioritise What You Want To Achieve • Doing this helps you set clear, achievable goals. • Focus on what ACTUALLY matters. 2. Schedule Time • Block out specific times in your calendar for personal development. • Treat these as non-negotiable. 3. Use Small Chunks of Time • Utilise short breaks throughout your day • Read a chapter, watch a tutorial, or listen to a podcast. 4. Integrate Learning into Daily Routine • Add growth activities into your daily tasks. • Listen to audiobooks during your commute 5. Leverage Technology • Use apps and online courses to learn on the go. • Coursera and Duolingo make it easy to fit in learning 6. Seek Accountability • Find a mentor or join a group • Sharing your progress with others 7. Reflect and Adjust • Regularly assess your progress • Reflecting on what works helps you refine your approach If you're serious about developing as a person and in your career, then it's time to start focusing on the right things. And one of those things is definitely not ignoring your personal development. --------- ♻️ Repost this and help your network. 📑 Follow me Aidan Dickenson 📰 Subscribe to my newsletter 🔔 Ring the bell on my profile --------- PS What have I missed?

💡 From Idea To Successful Business In 2017, it started with an idea... The Coaching Revolution founders had a poor experience with a ‘coaching’ organisation. We believed it could be done better. 🟣 Honesty, Integrity and Experience were the foundations of what we wanted to build 🟣 We mapped out what this idea would look like if we could make it happen. 🟣 Sound marketing and business advice was the MOST important thing. 🟣 Community was VERY important. 🟣 Ongoing support was VERY important. 3.5 years on we have achieved all of it. 🟪 We have mentees who learn skills and apply them. 🟪 Some get invited to step up and become mentors. 🟪 We are slowly taking over the world, one successful coaching business at a time. 💜 I LOVE THE COACHING REVOLUTION 💜

*Why Small Group Personal Training Works* In this video, one of our members shows exactly what SGPT looks like in action – putting in the work with focus, determination, and a touch of their own personality (as always 😉). Fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is personal training. That’s why Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) is at the core of what we do – it’s the sweet spot between personal attention and the buzz of training alongside others. Here’s why it works so well: ✅ Personalisation: Every session is tailored to your goals, needs, and fitness level. You’re not just another face in the crowd. ✅ Community: Training with a small group creates camaraderie, accountability, and – let’s be honest – makes tough sessions a lot more fun. ✅ Expert coaching: You still get the knowledge and attention of a coach, ensuring proper technique and progress every step of the way. ✅ Affordability: The results of personal training without the price tag of 1:1 coaching. Whether you're here to build strength, improve fitness, or just feel like yourself again, SGPT is designed to help you get there.

❌ "Don't chase illusions; in the end, you'll gain nothing." ❌ . . . 😪 "I made the same mistake, in the beginning, I also chased illusions of becoming a successful YouTuber like the ones I admired. But eventually, I realized I was wasting valuable time. Juggling between being an entrepreneur and a professional, I struggled to manage my time effectively, which ultimately led to failure." "But then I realized, sometimes we shouldn't chase perfection too early. There's a proper path and process to achieve perfection." "Then I concentrated my efforts and grew as an entrepreneur 👨💻. Also, at the same time, Instead of a youtuber, I pursued my hobby as a sketch artist 🎨 by applying my entrepreneurial skills to streamline tasks and save time and achieved recognition, winning a gold medal in country's top sketch competitions 🎖." ✍ "Please share your challenges in one word in the comment section (for E.g.
