I am 43, a father, artist, entrepreneur, Executive Coach and have bought the t-shirt of many of life’s toughest challenges. I continue to laugh, love & learn.

@HustleBitch_ The guy needs help, not harassment. When you have been on top of the world, most people want to see you fall. Very few people can comprehend the life that this guy leads.

@SewFabAcademy Fantastic Paula! Very Proud day for you and family and more recognition for our humble town x

@VodafoneUK Stace. I was through to your team. And then as soon as I asked the question it conveniently went dead. Is that because of the high call volumes?

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

@VodafoneUK No, back on the merry go round of getting a basic answer to a basic question. Let alone asking about a new product. Talking to Robots and people who might as well be robots. I have now wasted an hour. How can this be a business service?

My job is to think of a plan, and then to help support and guide the people who are executing that plan. #Leadership

Another day of new ideas and new connections. Talking to artists, craft makers, comedians, dancers and even babies. My job is to figure out how they all fit and work together. @ArtzCentre

I want to spend time with people who are either where I want to be or those that are doing all they can to get there.

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

Everything you’re not doing now, you’re in the habit of not doing. The only way to turn not doing habits into doing habits is to actually do them.

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

Do things that you are excited to tell your children or your grandchildren one day. Create stories worth telling.

Forgive me if I am not too chatty in the gym. I am there to focus on me, not you.

Hiking with my brother is probably my new favourite thing to do! #Keswick

Ben has been with us now for nearly 10 years. The companies values are so engrained in him, I am excited to see how far he can go. He will no doubt be an exceptional new member of the team. #homegrown #localtalent #Jobs

[Artz Centre @ArtzCentre]

The end of the first week, as Artz Centre welcomed their brand new apprentice Ben. A unique opportunity for another talented and exceptional young person. The next chapter in Ben’s extraordinary Artz Journey. #aprenticeship #TheArts #employment #career #creative

If things aren’t going well in your outer life, then they are not going well in your inner life. A fruit tree standing in poor soil with weak roots will not produce tasty fruit. Your physical world is a result of your spiritual, mental and emotional world.

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

When you stop listening I will stop talking and for some people that does more harm than good.

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

We often avoid the tasks that we least enjoy. Because as humans we choose the path of least resistance. Trouble is these, tedious, tricky or mammoth tasks often carry the most value. My focus is firmly on these tasks at present. I am hoping they will be worth it. #EatThatFrog

My new relationship with social media means you can no longer look through my window but you can always knock on my door!

[Mark Ashton @markashton1982]

There is something very humbling about the mountains. They remind us that we are part of something much greater than ourselves and that when we have gone, the world will continue to be . It reminds us to make the most of every moment!

All of a sudden my Twitter (x) feed is filled with a new type of shite. 🙄🙄
