A rwy'n gweithio i ddawn yma yma neu'n cael y cyrraedd 1.3 billion. Mae nid i wneud oedd 11 mlyneddau The company has restructured two major departments were merged and new boy into the business I was the first one out the door and the corporate dream crashed and I did probably what everyone of you would do I went home grab a bottle of red wine and anyhow the caulk and I never put it back in And at started a week or two weeks of depression for me because I didn't have an answer I'd relocated my family so an employment black spot in the north east of England because I was working for a PLC head office based in Sunderland I could not find another employment role of a similar calibre and a similar nature because I was probably one of five people in the UK that did what I did and it was hard to find another role. But the thing I did is the same as everybody else. I started looking inwards and I started looking at why I was failing in life, why had I lost a major career track and have no second plan or no plan B. What really struck to me is that the one question I'm going to ask you now is what are you in business for? The reason why you have the opportunity to succeed in business today is basically down to our communist Russian partners of 1960. That's the reason you have the ability to succeed in business today because they knew why they wanted to put a satellite in space. It wasn't the how, it was the why. They quickly followed it by a man in space, Yuri Gagarin. The Americans were then losing a technological race which they knew had the ability to change the world and they didn't want to be left behind. JFK stood on a stage in front of the American Congress and stated that it was his intention that by the end of the 1960s decade America would safely land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth and that's what led to NASA finding out the how and the why. The how to the why, sorry, that they wanted to succeed. The why is always the most important element of business and if you don't know why you're in business today when you're faced with a challenge you'll take a step back instead of taking a step forward and blasting through it. The how to succeed in business is probably in this room. If you don't know how there are people here that can help you but the why is the most important element of that goal. Your personal goal, your personal drive in life. I meet managing directors. I meet senior executives of PLCs from London all over the country and I don't meet them in the city. I don't meet them in the boardroom. I don't meet them in a hotel. I meet them in the middle of the Sahara running five and a half marathons with a 20lb backpack on their back in 46 degrees heat in one of the toughest foot races in the world and they tell me they're unhappy. They tell me they just don't enjoy business anymore. They're looking for a challenge that fulfills them. So they're climbing the corporate ladder at a much higher rate than I was but they're disenchanted with life, they're unfulfilled and they're unhappy. And I ask them one question, why? Why are you here today? What is it that's galvanising you? What is it that's ignited your passion all of a sudden? We'll go back and find it. Let me tell you about another lady I helped last year. Christmas before last she lost her father on the operating table and you are crumbling a altar because of poor diet, because of poor lifestyle. Ellie was 19 and a half stone, 39 years old, with a young child going the same way that her father was. And we started talking. She said, Andy, I followed all your blogs. I followed your adventures in the Sahara. I followed your adventures in Namibia. How can I start to change my life and how can I be goal-oriented like you seem to be? And I said, well, what's your reason why? She says, well, because I don't want to end up like my dad. She had been on numerous diets. She had been on numerous get-fit plans. She had a personal trainer for a year and a half and never lost a stone. I spent five minutes with her just asking her about her why. Why is it now important to you? Why is it important to change your lifestyle and not just go on another crash diet? She said, because I want to have some enjoyment out of life, I want to feel energetic, I want to feel like you, gallwn yn mynd i ni'n ffordd yw yn ei fod yn ymgyrch yn fawr, ac mae'n bod yn rhan o'r amlwg. Rydyn ni'n gwybod i chi ddweud. Rydyn ni'n gwybod i chi i ei gael arall. Rydyn ni'n dweud i chi. Mae rhan o'r amlwg i chi. Rydyn ni'n gwybod i chi, Elin. Rydyn ni'n gynyddoedd arall o'r amlwg i chi, ond rydyn ni'n gwybod. Yn ymgyrch yn yma, rydyn ni'n gwybod i Edinburgh, Mae'r weith, mae'r sefydlu, mae'r husbwynt a'r hefyd, ac mae'r gweithio'r pliexbrau mwyngau yn Edinburgh. 26.2 miol, yna yw yw'r midnaf, mae'n gweithio'r 7,5 oed, ac mae'n gweithio'r gweithio.

Mae'n gweithio'r 1,5 mawr oedd yn ymlaen, ac mae'n ddweud ar y 66th ymlaen, ond rwy'r hyn arlaethiaeth sy'n gweithio mewn marathyn yn hael. Yn ymlaen, mae'n gweithio'r cymdeithas ymlaen, mae'n gweithio'r ymlaen. Felly, yw'r cymdeithas ymlaen wedi'u cymdeithio'n gweithio'r cymdeithio, mae'n gweithio'r cymdeithio'r ymlaen a'r hefyd, mae'n gweithio'r bywyd, mae'n gweithio'r yn gweithio, mae'n gweithio'r fawr, y hoffi'r bywyd, Maen nhw'n mwynhau'r bobl yn gwneud swyddiadau i'r bwrdd, a'r cyfnod o'r dwygau, yn ysgolwch i'r ddweud yr oedd gweithio i fynd i'r ysgolwch, i fynd i'r ysgolwch i'r ysgolwch! Rwy'n fawr i'r oed yn gweithio gyda'r cyrraeth gael eu bod yn ymgyrch ar arfer. Mae'r gweithio gwael ddiolod o'r fath bryd gweithio'r fath. Roedd ymdwch ymddwch eich iddo i'r seharau, Dwi yw'n deall wedi cymdeithasio y myfnwysig fel fwrdd pobl? Felly y gallwn, y byddai hefyd gyda'r problem rhai i mi'r dda i ran y myfnwysig. Ie rhai i mi i mi i mi eich myfnwysig fel gwych? Ac rwy'n ei fydd yw'n meddwl am ffrôn, rwy'n meddwl am yr oes anghof mae'r ffordd roi ei mewn. Rwy'n meddwl chi roi chi'n meddwl am y ffordd, eich ffordd roi ei mewn? a dyma'r mynd, yn ymgyrch. Yn ymgyrch, mae wedi cael alcohol, mae wedi gallu syrhan... ac, felly, nes yw, Nasser have had three or four different projects all working at the same time with each team of astronauts that go into space or into the moon. So, I'd say to you, get yourself a goal that really drives you, get yourself some ambition about what's going to fire you with passion, so that when you come across the next recession you're going to blast through it because you'll know the reason why and you'll be able to position yourself. So, mae'r challenge, 66 challenge, why? A lot o'r peolwch yn ymgyrch yn ymgyrch. Why? Yeah. Oh, you mad? Well, because nobody's done it in the UK. Yeah? It's never been done before in the UK. So, why not? And that's always my answer. When somebody asks me why, I ask them why not? Because it can be done. The only person that tells you you can't do something is you. Yeah? And nobody's telling me that I can't do it. They ask me why I'm doing it, but I know it can be done. So, the challenge is this. We're going to run a marathon from every major city or every official city in the UK. There are 66 of them, six in Scotland, five in Northern Ireland, five in Wales and 15 in England. They're going to be consecutive marathons, no days rest. Guinness have stipulated they must be consecutive to challenge the world record. And we're going to be doing it from the beginning of March next year. We're writing at the moment to every mayor in every city and we're challenging every city to raise £1,000 for the soldiers charity. And then we're going to challenge businesses to engage on the back of that and we're going to do some speaking engagements and we're going to have some fun days and we're going to have some kids' days where they can all come and get involved. But there's a lot of reasons for that and one of them is that, you know, there are people over there losing their lives at the moment and that's the ultimate price. Somebody sent me an email this week saying, when a soldier signs the dotted line to become a soldier, he pledges to the United Kingdom and all of its citizens that he will honour his duty up to and including his life. That's a blank check. It's a hell of a blank check. Some of them get asked to cash it. Others have it park-cashed and they spend the rest of their lives living with the consequences of their actions in battle and the mental torment that they go through after that. The soldiers charity helps these people to get themselves back into working life. Some of those people that will run a marathon with me next year will have no legs and for the first time they'll be completing a marathon on artificial limbs. Some of them will have lost their sight and they'll be running with a blind guide. Some of them will be in wheelchairs and their friends will be pushing them every mile of the way. But if they can do it, I can do it. But the reason that we will all do it is because we have a reason why. And if I could share one key to success for you, it's a very simple equation that I use when I'm helping people in business. If you know why, which is the most important element, and you can find out how and you multiply it with enough effort over the right positive attitude, success will be yours in any line of business or any person in ever. That's my passion. It's my belief. It's what I teach. And it's what's led me to gain the successes I've led and everyone I've helped to succeed on the same basis. So I can leave that thought with you. It's my great pleasure speaking to you tonight.
