How would your life look if you were 33% less angry?

Firstly let me say sorry, it has been a long time between Business Bullets. Please rest assured, I haven’t been sitting around doing nothing, in fact I’ve been doing a lot. There’s been too much going on to share it all in this Business Bullet, so I’m just going to share a few things now, with more to come.

One thing I really pride myself in is making sure I’m always generating piles of advice and information to help business owners. And with the columns I’m writing these days, it is abundant and it is freely available. So I’ve got a bit of a summary of where to find this information in this Business Bullet along with a new initiative called “Books with Bite” which I know many of you will like.

I would like to say a big thank you to my legion of fans who offer support, encouragement, ideas, spell checking services and really good feedback on everything that I write, every interview I give, every podcast I’m featured in, every webinar I do and every presentation I give. Thanks for being a part of my world

A lot more to come in the next few weeks. New programmes, a new book, new workshops and much, much more.

Till then –  thanks.

FIRSTLY I’M SO PROUD I DID MY FIRST TEDX TALK

As a professional speaker I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself and one of my goals in recent years was to do a TEDx talk. Well that became a reality a little while back when I had the great pleasure of delivering a talk titled “Imagine if we were 33% less angry” at a TEDx event in Townsville. This was one of the coolest things I’ve done. Check it out and let me know what you think and if you’re ready to take up my challenge. CLICK HERE.

SOMETHING NEW – BOOKS WITH BITE

Righto, a new initiative that I am trying out. Seeing as I spend half (if not more) of my life writing books, reading books, teaching other people to write books and being asked what I’m reading, it makes sense that I would actually offer some book recommendations. I’ve started recording a weekly video called “Books with Bite”, where I recommend a book that I’ve read, generally in the entrepreneurial or personal development world. I go into quite a bit of detail in terms of why it caught my attention, what it’s about, what the reader will get out of reading it, who it is most suited for and where can you buy it?

Check out my first episode, where I talk about a fantastic book called “Not Invented Here”. CLICK HERE.

A UNIQUE PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMME IN BRISBANE

In September I’m running a specialist presentation training workshop for CEO’s and Senior Executives – in conjunction with ARETE Executive in Brisbane. People in these roles have very specific presentation skill requirements and I’ve developed a great programme designed to cover a lot of ground and solve a lot of problems. If this is something you are interested in – please check out the information on the workshop booking page – CLICK HERE.

FLYING SOLO

Once a month I write a column for Flying Solo, the leading solopreneur community in Australia (and one of the biggest in the world). Here is the link to my column – some really solid advice for those of you who have a workforce of one. CLICK HERE.

AND THE GLOBAL BLOG FOR ‘KEY PERSON OF INFLUENCE’

Most of you know I am one of the mentors in the Key Person of Influence Programme in Australia – a 40 week entrepreneur profile and branding programme, which is getting rave reviews around the world. Now we are drawing on the collective wisdom of people who have gone through the programme as well as our global mentors to provide advice, ideas, thoughts, commentary and a whole lot more, all to be found on the Key Person of Influence online platform. CHECK IT OUT.

And by the way, our last Brand Accelerator event is on in Melbourne on Saturday – if you haven’t been to one yet, this is well worth the investment of a few bucks and a day of your time. It is a huge day talking about pitching, publishing, profile building, products and partnering. Feedback is always over the top – CHECK IT OUT

AND LAST BUT BY NO MEANS LEAST……SOME SERIOUS FUNNY BUSINESS

One of the things I really love to do is record a session of Funny Business with my good friend Tim Reid as part of the Small Business Big Marketing show. In the latest episode we go a bit dark, and a bit serious, to talk about staying productive when a crisis hits. A lot of people have been raving about this episode – so clearly we hit a nerve.
