Open your Mind

Open Your mind



In two sleeps, my gorgeous wife and I are off to the other side of the world. As you can see, Google Maps optimistically says it will take 14 hours and 10 minutes to get there. You and I know it will take a lot longer.

But the first world problem of sitting in a steel tube that flys through the air in the same way that bricks don't (credit to Douglas Adams for that) is nothing compared to the pay off.

Travelling brings perspective. 

It enables you to appreciate all the small things you take for granted that you can't get, do or have while overseas.
It reminds you how good your own quality of life is when you see the quality of life of others.
It shows you the truth about a place not just the romanticised version you may have or the photoshopped pieces on FarceBook.
It gives you an appreciation of other cultures and sub-cultures regardless of how similar or different they are to your own
It is humbling as it allows you to see your own problems for what they really are and to acknowledge how blessed your life really is.
It opens your mind to new ideas, new opinions, new perspectives, new ways of being and thinking.

So Dear-Reader, how open is your mind and do you need to go travelling to open it a bit further?

Huge Thanks

Huge Thanks

Oh My Lawks A Lordy!!

Thank you so much for your support Dear-Reader

The Get More Success show went off with a huge bang. At one stage it was number 2 on the business podcast list (ahead of Seth Godin!!)




As my way of saying thanks I have put out a bonus episode on Small Business Social Media Solutions that I would love for you to listen to.

OK - now on to non-Get More Success related business.

I am a huge believer that the customer is NOT always right, but they are always the customer. Sometimes they get confused, things go wrong or it is just a combination of smaller issues that combine to make a bigger one. There is NO excuse for not treating the customer well.

My gorgeous wife and I went away with our B&B crew of 8 people last weekend. We got a message on the Thursday saying the previous tenant had broken the thermostat so there would be no heating. The owner said that they never needed heating so we should be ok. An email dialogue ensued.

The outcome was, we had no heating in a house with massively high ceilings on a very cold weekend in a cold part of the state. The house owner didn't seem to care.

Naturally I am following up because I believe we deserve some kind of compensation. I am confident that the home owner doesn't care as his approach to customer service was appalling. Even the responses to feedback on AirBnB were poor. Someone left a positive comment and he let fly at them for not cleaning the BBQ and leaving cigarette buts in the garden.

How are your customers Dear-Reader? Do they sometimes get a little confused, ask the super obvious question or ignore the instructions you have previously given them? They may be wrong or even appear a little foolish but they are always the customer and deserve to be treated positively. How do you treat them and does that need to improve?

WOO HOO!!

I am so excited that after some serious procrastinating, some hard work, bursts of inspiration, serious doubts, more procrastinating, more work, home made design, a lot of interviewing, a stack of support, the kindness of friends and some techo gurus the Get More Success show is now live!

Over the coming years I will be interviewing people from all walks of life and find out how they define success and what are their success tips that you may be able to apply to get success in your life.

As an added bonus, the show will also include excerpts from the Get More Speaker Success monthly blab. This is a group conversation with a more lighthearted approach that covers issues in the speaking, meetings and events industries. It has some great ideas if you are looking to run events.

Because of the increased demand in the visual media, a lot of my interviews are also on video as well as audio. So if you like to look at what is happening, feel free to watch as well as listen.

You can see/hear the show at The Get More Success website. 

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP

The first couple of weeks of a podcast's launch are important to help get traction. So this is where I need your help.
If you like the idea of the show as well as the first couple of editions that are out there, I need you to subscribe to the show in iTunes if you are an iTunes user.
This will trigger some of iTunes magic goodness and increase its profile and shoot it up the charts which then makes others want to look at it.

So Dear-Reader I would love it if you could give me a boost.
It's really easy. Just click this link to see the show listing.
Click on the "See in iTunes" button on the left of the screen
When iTunes opens, click on the subscribe button.

At the very least, head over and listen to Wayne Thompson from the Australian Type Foundry talk about how he creates fonts and some of the icon advertising pieces you have seen in advertising all over Australia (including the Optus "Yes" speech bubble).

So what is new in your life? What have you achieved after grinding away for what seems like years? How can I help you achieve success?

Take Me Home

Take Me Home



One of the key things you need to know as a speaker (or as a budding rock star) is that the audience want to take you home. 

They may have only heard you for an hour or two but there is a connection and they want to get more info from you or hear more of your stories or find out more about your message.

This is true regardless of your "status" in the market place. There will be audience members that just connect with you, even if you are not the headliner legend in your field. For example, my lovely wife and I went to "Burn the Floor" at Crown Casino on Friday. It was a very good show with lots of dancing and some great music. A very solid casino kind of show. Everything done really well and done within budget. 

But they still had a merchandise stand with posters, CDs, trinkets and clothing. At the end of the show there was a significant crowd there all wanting to buy their merchandise.

So as a speaker, educater, professional what do you have that lets your audience take you home?

Following in the footsteps of others from Professional Speakers Australia (The association for experts who speak) I have created over thirty differents discs (some CD, some DVD and some template discs), two books, two e-courses and many other products. After presenting at the Professional Speakers Australia event on the weekend on how to create product like this, some of the audience wanted to take me home. Having this product meant that they could.

If someone wants to take you or your company home, how do you make that happen?
