Loading ...Often in business, well in life really, you are too close to a problem and the possible solutions to see alternative options. This can be for something as big as deciding on a new product line, negotiating a problem with a client or contractor or as small as deciding what to write your next blog post on. You need something that will help you see “outside the box” and get your creative juices flowing.
Instead of hoping for inspiration I have a method I use which triggers lateral thinking any time. It is also strangely comforting. It’s a bit unorthodox but it works every time. I’ll explain it all to you below in this quick video I made for you today while sitting in (one of) my favourite cafe. It only takes 3 mins and 10 secs to watch. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just leave a comment below.

Video: 4 Types of Relationships Made at Live Events
Filed under: Joint Ventures, Offline strategies for online business, events
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...11 sleeps until the 4th Dimension Mastery Workshop in Sydney. Yesterday I went down to The Grace Hotel where the workshop will be held to check out the venue and do a few last minute things. Such a gorgeous art-deco hotel.
One of the things I arranged is to have a few tables in the break-out area for all the attendees to put their networking material. Business cards, flyers, gifts, JV advertisements etc. A lot of events don’t allow attendees to promote their businesses and give out promotional material so if you find an organiser who is happy for you to do this, or even better, actively support you to do this, then make the most of it.
Live events is one of the best places to build your business through relationships but I find most people don’t know how to do this. So I made this short video for you while I was at The Grace.
Find out why live events are so important and the 4 types of relationships you can make at events, and how to prepare.
Hope you can join us at The 4th Dimension Mastery Workshop. If you’ve been leaving it to the last minute to grab the final 8 places don’t delay. The payment plan option closed on July 31st at midnight.

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 Exciting!
Filed under: Offline strategies for online business
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Oooh I’m so excited. Today 1000 copies of my very first book were delivered in a big truck. Even more exciting, thanks to my brilliant publisher, Darren Stephens, the book has already been pre-ordered so much it is an international best seller. Wow.
Poor delivery man. I took photos of the truck, photos of him opening the truck, cutting the plastic from the pallet, unloading the books, packing the books. I was a bit excited.
Watch out for an email tomorrow with a sneak peek at my silly photos and how you can win a copy of the book for yourself (hand-signed of course). Hey, I’ll even gift you a “leaked chapter”. But you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
Cheers

“So What Do You Do?”

This week I was fortunate to interview Sharla Jacobs about how she has helped thousands of “heart-based” business owners build their practices into six figure businesses.
(You can find out more about Sharla here and also listen to the interview in the gold members’ area of Wonderful Web Women.)
Sharla shared some great ideas on how to answer the question “What do you do?”
It is quite common for people to answer this question with details on HOW you deliver services. Eg “I interview the most successful women on the internet on live webcasts to learn how to grow a successful business” or “I run workshops and work with clients one-on-one to help them reach their goals”.
The problem with this type of response is it doesn’t answer the question that is really in their mind which is “What in it for me?”
Sharla suggested you rephrase the question in your mind to be “How do you help people?”, rather than “What do you do?”
Because really, you are in business to help people after all.
A useful Template to Use
Sharla shared a template you can use which helps to get your “elevator pitch” clear in a way that really answers the question “how you help”. Read more
