It's Time!

It's Time!

I don't do this very often so please indulge me.



Gough Whitlam is one of Australia's elder statesmen. Some say that in politics he is a defining point. There is Before Gough and After Gough and these two political periods are very different.

In the Melbourne Fringe festival this year there is a one person play called Gough. It is about the man, the dismissal and what happened behind the scenes.

I am fortunate enough to have been cast as Gough. It is exciting and terrifying all at once!!

The plan is to run the Fringe Festival show and when it is successful have a repeat performance after the Fringe and then possibly take it on to Adelaide and Sydney festivals as the Writer/Director has done with his previous show.

To raise funds for the props, the theatre, the set and, most importantly, the wig, the Writer/Director has launched a Pozible campaign. It is close to reaching the target, only $404 to go.

If you can help, we would love your support. Click here to see a short video, view the donation rewards and contribute to a great show.

Thank you for indulging me!

Are You Having Fun Yet?

Are You Having Fun Yet?

I know I have written about this before and it is so important that I think it is worth mentioning again.

Too many people put off having fun. For some bizarre reason they believe that FUN is something that happens at home and at work you have to be SERIOUS.

The Minister for Fun once told me:

If it's not fun, don't do it
If you have to do it, make it fun.

Do you wish you had more fun in your life?
Do you want to hear the sound of laughter more (particularly your own)?
Would you like to enjoy what you do more?

Then add some fun.

Fun can be professional, fun can be respectful, fun can be spontaneous, fun can be organised and fun can be here and now.

Like all things, what you focus on is what you achieve, so how can you focus on having more fun?
So Dear-Reader, Are You Having Fun Yet?



PS I am on the radio this Friday at 11am Melbourne time. For an hour we will be discussing how to Have Fun at Work.
You can stream it from www.RPPFM.com.au or use the TuneIn Radio app on your smart phone.
Pop in in your diary now!!

Where's Your Tribe?

Where's Your Tribe?

NSAA
I spent two hours this morning chatting with a friend from my tribe. My tribe is National Speakers; the association of Experts who Speak. It was only supposed to be an hour but once I got started, I found it hard to stop!

They understand my business like no one else does. They understand the ups, the downs, the problems, the opportunities and the excitement of running this kind of business.  

They GET me.

While others will sort of get me (even Wifey doesn't fully understand the business), no-one fully understands like other members of your tribe.

What about you Dear-Reader? Where is your tribe? Who fully understands what you are going through?

Sometimes it is a professional association; it can also be a mastermind group or even a networking group of similar people. Whoever they are, find them, be part of them and give to them. By giving to them will you receive something no one else can give.

A sense of understanding and a sense of belonging.

So where's your tribe?

Will You Survive?

Will You Survive?



Charles Darwin is often misquoted as saying it is the "Survival of the fittest"

What he actually said was:

"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change"

From what I have seen, we are not that good at change. 

Look at what happens if Apple does an update or Facebook changes its interface or if the email system you use changes. People go out of their mind and spend so much energy fighting something they cannot change.

You don't have to be smart and you don't have to be strong, you have to be adaptable. It is the same in relationships and with your work.

Stop resisting change and start adapting to it. It will magnify your success and your survival.

So Dear-Reader, will you survive?

PS Sorry for the delay in this weeks Get More Goer. I got man flu and nearly didn't survive!! I think I will recover though :)
