Meet David Moyle

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful David Moyle a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

David, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

I think I get my resilience from the people I love and who love me. Spending time with them gives me the distraction I need when things are difficult and the time we spend together recharges me. Over the years, my children, my sister, her family and lately my now adult son and my fiancé really give me the energy to continue when things are difficult. The things we do together are the source of my joy.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m an artist at heart. I am a web developer, graphic designer and a photographer and help people develop or update their business identity. I’ve recently launched a new web site showcasing my favorite photography as various products like greeting cards, notebooks, and pencil pouches. And I’ve been accepted to several stock photo sites as a contributor.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I would say self discipline has been the most helpful skill I’ve learned in life. Being self employed it’s easy to allow yourself to get distracted by people or other things. There’s always work to be done and there’s always reasons to do something else. Striking a balance between the two is the most important skill to master in my opinion.

The other skills I would say are important are time management and networking. As a self employed individual you only get paid when you get your work done and you get more work through meeting new people.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

When I feel overwhelmed I change what I’m doing. I take a break and go for a walk, go to the gym, go get lunch with my son or my fiancé. Sometimes just a short walk, workout, or conversation with someone is enough to regroup and get a fresh outlook on a problem. Even if I don’t talk about the actual problem.
