Early in my career, I worked for a global organisation and travelled the world.

Some years, I spent over 200 nights in hotels to do my market research, meet retailers, deliver training and support clients, and put a list together of the people I wanted to do business with. 

An opportunity popped up that caught my attention. Up until then, I had mainly travelled throughout Europe, the USA, South America and Canada. 

An exciting role was up for grabs in a tropical place called "Hamilton Island" near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The land down under!

You might recall the famous Island Caretaker campaign that was on the news all around the world. 

A pay check of $180K for six months of 'work' which consisted of lying on the beach, sleeping in a 5-star hotel, diving, flying in a helicopter, and posting daily on social media.

1 job.

Over 50,000 applicants.

Seriously.

And my 59-second video got me shortlisted!

The next step in the application process was a...

I have a question for you. 

Let me put it in perspective first... I'm planning ahead for what's going to be a BIG year in 2022. I also love dialogue.

While I'm helping new clients in the Americas, Europe and Australasia go through three different coaching programs multiple times a year, it's important that I stay relevant and deliver value to all my subscribers and readers. 

That's why I am reaching out to you today to ask for your input, so that I can create relevant content and events that move the needle for you right now.

So, my question to you is short and simple:

When it comes to PERSONAL MASTERY and BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, what would help you be more successful?

In other words, what specific help are you looking for in those two areas so that I can serve you better?

Please explain in three sentences or less. Just email [email protected] and, although it might take a while, I'll endeavour to get back to you personally.

Thanks a million :-)

Yesterday, I met with someone I really value. 

He talked about his father passing away unexpectedly and they hadn't been able to resolve a conflict between them that has lasted for years. 

Needless to say that he felt disturbed and sad that the last opportunity to resolve the matter with his dad had vanished. 

I feel for them, because I had a similar situation with my uncle who I haven't spoken to for the last 7 years of his life. And then... he was gone.

Both situations show that communication can easily break down. We think we are right and the others are wrong. We'd rather be right than be happy. We let our ego get in the way. 

In business, I see a similar dynamic undermining people's success.

We judge people that are different to us. We label someone a 'difficult' client or staff member. We call them all sorts of names, just to conceal that we don't know how to deal with them effectively.

Seriously - it's not about them, but all about us.

Blaming others is so...

Growth is a choice and involves being proactive.

Also, it is about getting your head straight and align your actions with it.

The second workshop as part of the "Services Business Growth" series is ready for you.

One key component lots of services business owners struggle with is getting a steady influx of ideal clients.

Often, they fall into a start-stop approach. One time they generate a lot of new business. They then get busy delivering the services...

As they do, the sales pipeline dries up and so they have to start all over again with a delay in fresh revenue coming through the door.

A start-stop approach hurts.

That's why I created this second workshop for you: to help you attract more ideal clients, consistently.

Bonus training: in the online workshop, I'll also show you how to create multiple income streams in addition to your services so that you can reach your target income more easily.

See you inside!
