Credit Card Fraud and The Internet Merchant – a True Story
Filed under: Business Skills, Internet Basics, Shopping Carts
Let me paint you a picture. You wake up and discover you’ve had a sale of $997 of a product that you don’t sell many of. Well, not unless you have a targeted promotional campaign on that product. Hmm that’s nice easy money. Over the next few days you get more of these sales. That’s unusual, but you notice there are 2 affiliates responsible for the referrals so you figure they must be running a campaign on that product, probably offering bonuses to people who buy.
Ooh that’s nice. Someone else is doing the marketing and you pocket the sales.
You email to congratulate them
Then you get another $997 sale. This time it is for tickets to a live event. But hang on……the customer is in the UK and the workshop is in Sydney. And the workshop was 2 weeks ago!
Hmmm something is not quite right here.
To find out what happened, how we worked it out, and what you MUST do if this happens to you….simply watch this 5 minute video below. Love to hear your comments so please take time to write below.
Setting Non-Negotiables in Business
One of the common mistakes I see people make in business is not setting “non-negotiables” to refer back to when business planning and assessing opportunities. This is one of the first things I recommend you do BEFORE you start your business – but it’s never too late to start!
To understand what non-negotiables are and why they are so important, check out this video below. It takes less than 3 minutes and can save you days of agonising over decisions in the future. I’d love to hear what YOUR non-negotiables are. Have you found yourself in situations you thought were going to be great, only to find you were trapped, simply because you didn’t take these into consideration? Take the time to share by leaving a comment below.

Are The Current Business Models Still The Best?
My head hurts from thinking! You see, the last few weeks I have been mapping out the direction for my business for the next 12 months. I have a lovely problem you see. Even though my current price for private mentoring is just under $2000 per month, I have a waiting list and I have to turn people back. I only have so many hours per week I can commit to working closely with people and to be honest…I have much more leveraged ways to make an income.
But I love working closely with people and seeing them go from frustrated to clear on their direction, taking action and making money. I hate turning people back and so have the challenge of creating a system that allows me to help more people in a more leveraged way. Read more
Business Awards and Self Belief

Last night I submitted my application for the Telstra Business Women’s Awards with 9 minutes to spare. OK so I was nominated by the gorgeous Lenore Miller weeks ago but “diamonds are made under pressure” you know! As the dust settled from my screeching dash over the finish line I thought about why I left it to the last minute and the lessons I can share with you from this.
Entering Awards Challenges Your Self Belief
What goes through your mind at the thought of entering an award? Especially a business award?
In theory you see it as an opportunity and you consciously visualise yourself walking up the stage on presentation night and accepting your winner’s trophy. There is an aura of success around you………….

How To Tell If Your Business Model Will Work
Filed under: Business Skills, Featured Speakers, Where to Start
This morning I had the pleasure of interviewing Debbie LaChusa, a.k.a. The Business Stylist. Debbie helps people match their business model to their “Unique Business Style” to really increase their business success. Debbie shared some great tips, including how to tell if your business model will actually succeed in achieving your financial goals.
This is a simple exercise you can do but also very powerful. This is something I have done in my own business and can vouch for how focused it helps you be.
