It's Good!

It's Good!

Have you seen the news lately?

Death, destruction, mayhem, questionable politicians, self-obsessed business people, profit driven leaders, war, environmental tragedies... the list goes on an on.

Why is this in the news? Yes it is happening, but all the tragedy is in the news because tragedy is what rates and what makes money.

Your life goes in the direction of what you pay attention to. Can I humbly suggest Dear-Reader that you stop watching the news and stop reading the paper?

Choose to focus on some of the fabulous goodness that is going on in the world. 



I have had the fortune of hosting some great events of late. One of them as Elvis (in the post Burger stages!) The focus of these events was to celebrate the Good and generate money for charity.

The people at these events are just normal people like you and me. Not super wealthy mega rich people, just people who work hard, love what they do and like to contribute.
At one event almost $15,000 was raised for Camp Quality and at another a cheque of $63,000 was presented to further research in to Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

It's good. Life is good.

People, by their very nature are inherently good. Focus on the good, be part of the good and your life can't help but be good.

Who Is It About?

Who Is It About?




Too often people in business get this question wrong, particularly in the Exhibiting industry.

The answer is, it is NOT about you - it is ALL about them.

Let's be incredibly honest, no one really cares about what you do. What they care about is what you can do for THEM. That great saying of "What's In It For Me" is running through their subconscious as they talk with you.

So with what you do, who is it about?
Your signs and posters, are they about you or are they about them?
Your new processes, are they about making it easier for you or making it easier for them?
Are the images you use about you or is it about them?
Your exhibiting booth, is it all about you or about them?
When you network, do you talk about you or do your talk about them?
When you get home from work, do you go on about your day or do you ask about theirs?

Life is not about you. It is about them. 

The funny thing is, if you make it about them, they will happily make it about you - so everyone gets what they need.


PS Someone who did a lot for others and who has always been a personal idol is Robin Williams. His passing affected me deeply so I wrote about it. You can read it here.

So What Is It?

So What Is It?

Success

Without knowing it, the question "What is Success?" drives you. It is the reason that you do or don't do things.

Unfortunately most people have not decided for themselves what success is.

One of my long-time favourite definitions is from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded."

But it is still not MY definition.

I have a new exciting project coming up called Get More Success. The first step is to define what success is. Is it:

  • To earn a certain level of income
  • To have regular travel
  • To have a family
  • To remain single
  • To spend more time with certain people
  • To have certain assets
  • To live in a certain location
  • To contribute to others
  • To do all of these


Can I ask you to do me a favour? Can you please spend 15 minutes over your favourite beverage and define for yourself "What Is Success."

Once you know it will be a guiding beacon for all of your actions.

OMG THANK YOU!

Dear-Reader You Are AWESOME!

Two days after last week's email Gough had met its target. Thank you so much for the cash and also for the emails of support. It is truly appreciated.

In return, I want to give you something.

EVENTS PEOPLE: If you run events and want sponsors at your events, you must watch this podcast I did for the Professional Conference Organisers Association on How to Get, Manage and Keep Event Sponsors
To watch the video (it goes for an hour so get a coffee first) simply click here

ACHIEVERS: If you want to achieve more, one of the best things to do is to take time to acknowledge how far you have come and then plan key actions for your goals. I have designed a simple two page form called the Regular Results Review to help you do this. Click here to download it.

FOODIES: One of my most popular blog posts is my recipe for Frangelico Walnut Brownies. Yes, they are that yummy. They are sooooo easy to make. If this sounds good to you, you can get the recipe here.

Dear-Reader thanks again for your support and if you meant to make a donation but didn't get around to it you can support the Gough campaign here.
