Happy Birthday Time

I am having one of my favourite kinds of years. It’s one where I have a birthday.

Some people know that it is my birthday this week on Friday 19th April. It’s not a big one, it’s just another average, everyday kind of birthday. The kind of birthday where all of your friends wish you “all the best”. Especially now that Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and every other kind of social media tells everyone it’s your birthday. You get some fabulous wishes from random people you hardly know!

Here’s the thing.

My life is pretty awesome. I’m not bragging, it’s just a fact. I have a fabulous wife, a great business, good health, fun toys, loving family, stupendous friends, a cool choir and I have great experiences. So as much as I love these birthday wishes, I don’t really need them. But loads of other people do.

You see them looking grumpy in meetings, walking down the street, in the supermarket and even in elevators. So I had a cunning plan, why not give all of these fabulous birthday wishes to people who really need them?

I get it sounds a bit whacky and the kind of thing that ends up on a dodgy TV show, but I really don’t care. I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said, “What other people think of me is none of my business.”

I really would like everyone to give my birthday wish to those who need them more. So I need your help.

This week, whenever you get the urge to wish me a happy birthday, give it to someone else. Give it to a random stranger, a work colleague, someone you love, someone you like, someone you have a slight distaste for, someone you have a crush on, the check out person, the person in the car next to you – it doesn’t really matter who, just be sure to give it. Give to them as genuine a wish as you would have for me for a year full of joy, magic and delights. You may shake their hand, hug them, kiss them, wave at them or simply smile at them.

You may give a speech even! Something like, “On behalf of Warwick, I would like to give his best birthday wishes to you. May you have a fantastic celebration of life today.” It may be smaller. Something like, “Dude!” It doesn’t really matter, what is important is the intent.

Who could ask for a better birthday present? So Friends will you help me?

Things Are Changing

The only constant is change.

We have read that, heard that and seen that so many times, yet still we get surprised by change. I was speaking to a large management team on Saturday about change (among other things) and they proudly told me that they all embrace change.

Upon further investigation, it turns out most of them ALWAYS sleep on the same side of the bed, have THEIR CHAIR at the dining table and in the lounge room and when they go to the monthly meeting they nearly always sit in the same spot. That doesn’t mean they are no good at change but it may mean that they struggle to embrace change more than they think.

What about you Friends? How are you with change?

By the way, as you can see from this email I have changed the way the weekly newsletter is sent. This should be a lot more efficient, timely and easier for me. For you there is very little change. You still get the fabulous thoughts every Monday (or Tuesday if I forget).

Are You On Track?

I trust you had a fabulous Easter break. Some may still be having time off with the school holidays.

I just wanted to remind you that the year is 1/4 gone. That’s right, it’s only nine months until the new year.

So are you on track with your goals? If so, AWESOME. If not, do you need a bit of catch up work or to adjust them?

Whatever the case, I just wanted to check you were on track.

This was not at the conference but you get the idea!

I have spent four days at the National Speakers conference. It’s my professional association so even though I was the Master of Ceremonies at the Gala Dinner and had a job as the “Voice of God” throughout the conference, it is also the time to go behind the scenes of my skill, my business model, my approach and do some fine tuning.

Staying at the conference hotel is also a bit of a shock. Hotel bathrooms seem to have more mirrors than any other surface. So after the daily shower, I was confronted with myself, warts and all, from all possible angles. Now I don’t know about you, but having that kind of perspective of myself is quite uncomfortable. My vision is drawn to my defects or PERCEIVED defects and things that I don’t like about myself. The conference was the same for my business.

It was too easy to see and hear what others were doing and think, “I’m not doing that. I should be doing what they are doing. There is something else I am not doing right. Look at all the stuff I haven’t done or achieved.”

From personal experience, that is not healthy and it gets you nowhere.

After a detailed discussion with my business partner, we have drawn a line in the sand (a sentiment reinforced by one of the speakers) and will only look to the future, acknowledge the past and act in the present. So there are a few bits about my body and my business that I am not a fan of. Rather than sitting on my pity pot and thinking about them, it is time for action and change. I can accept where I am at, warts and all. Now it is time for the action to meet the goals and the focus.

What about you? What changes do you want? What action will you take?

Taking Risks When Exhibiting

Many exhibitors take significant risks when they exhibit. In this short video, I list three thinkgs you need to do to maximise the return on those risks and really make them pay off.

What Do You Think?

I love Henry Ford’s Quote,

think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!”

Sometimes I find I know I can but some doubts sneak in around the edges. Things are not happening the way I planned, I am not getting the results I want or I have lost my serenity about my place in the world and self doubt comes in. When this happens I turn on loud, up tempo music, look at the lovely client comments in my “happy file” and keep putting one foot forward and taking some kind of action.

What do you do? What is your strategy to keep your head on straight and your confidence high?

When it comes to Henry’s quote, what do you think?

What Do YOU Want?

I have long been of the opinion that you get what you ask for not what you deserve.

Sometimes when people on the street ask for money I will say “How much do you want?”
If they ask for $2 it is what I give them. If it is $20 that is what they get.

I came across some footage today that validates my theory. At a Q&A session with Billy Joel at Vanderbuilt University, student Michael Pollack asked the question, “Can I accompany you singing New York State of Mind?”

The answer was, “Yes”

It is a great performance. So enjoy and remember, one of the keys to success is to keep asking for whatever you want. Ask away!

What Happens when your AV Fails?

Don’t you hate it when you are giving a presentation or MC of a group of presentations and the AV fails!
What should you do?
What CAN you do?

Here are a couple of tips to get you through a challenging event and come out smelling of success.

Enjoy!

Are You Surprised?

Surprise
I spent four hours on the tradeshow floor last week visiting an events show. It was an impressive show with loads of

expensive displays, a lot of booked appointments taking place, interesting marketing approaches (I am not sure the almost-nude model painting achieved what they were after) but I walked away stunned, shocked and surprised (See image for details!)

The main reason is that after spending a ton of money on booths, flights, accommodation, meals, marketing collateral what they didn’t spend money on was…. their people.

It wasn’t until I was half way around the show that someone actually engaged. When they did, it was from one of the smallest stands with the most simplistic set up, but they got my attention and we had a great conversation.

So how do you engage? It doesn’t have to be a trade show, it can be at a networking event, a random conversation with a friend, an opportunity in the foyer of an office or a simple phone conversation. “How are you today?” is a good starter (or even a good default position), but I KNOW you can do better.

If you are after some tips, we are running a fr*ee webinar tomorrow. You can register at www.EASI-Money.com

How Do You Move?

Moving Trolley
I learnt a long time ago that you never move FROM a place, you move TO a place.

What I mean by that is that when you move always consider what you need in the new place. Too many people pack everything in boxes, get to the new location and find out that they don’t need everything they have moved or boxes sit unpacked for years and you don’t miss what is in the box.

It could be a change of office, house or even position in the company. Decide what you will need in the new place and only take what you need with you. The rest can be recycled, handed on or thrown away.
So how do you move?

Time to practice what I preach.

I am moving office. As such, I have some old products that I don’t want to take with me. Some will no longer be available and others I just don’t want to transport! So I thought I would have a moving sale and give you the chance at some bargains.

A New Secret!

People often search for the secret to:

Learning new skills
Business success
Happy marriage
Property investing
Creating the perfect meal
On stage performance, and
Many other things.

This is a lesson I got from my Bass teacher Aurora Jane. She said you have to have the right “Bass Face.”

I think the lesson transfers to everything.

What do you think?

Can They Hear You?

Microphone
Too often people stay quiet. They have an idea, a thought, an opinion, a need or a want but it goes unsaid.

Their internal voice can say, “don’t want to make a fool of myself”, “the boss will know better”, “they probably have already thought of that”, “who am I to say these things?” or “I couldn’t be bothered trying to be heard.”

You owe it to yourself to speak out and speak up. Even if no action is taken, the act of speaking up is a huge boost to your esteem.

So what do you really want to say?

Speak up so we can all hear you.

Who’s Your Number One Fan?

Number 1
Today’s post is dedicated to Wifey.

She had a big birthday on the weekend (one with a zero in it!) and it made me think about all the raving fans I have but most importantly, my Number One Fan.

Wifey is my Number One Fan. There is so much she does for me:

She is my number one cheerleader (sometimes with dancing!)
She is ready to give me a pat on the back or a kick up the bum when I need

She tells me when I should listen (I’m not too good at that!)
She tells me to go out and play when I have been cooped up and start babbling
She loves me for all my faults
She laughs at my jokes (even though she has heard them soooo many times)
She makes me feel safe when I am scared
She gets me chicken soup when I am sick
She hugs me when I need it (and even when I don’t)
She listens to my rants
She gives me Cans when all I have is Cants
She feeds me when I am hungry
She teaches me words I don’t know
She shows me things I never thought possible
She shares her friends with me
She doubles my joy
She halves my pain
She takes me to hospital when I need (even when she had a broken arm herself)
She tells me when my outfit shouldn’t leave the house unless it is going in the bin
She tells me I am handsome when I have my doubts
She mends hurts when I hurt
She keeps me going when I feel like quitting
She gives the best kisses
She loves me for me

So from the bottom of my heart, it is with thanks and gratitude that I dedicate this post and my love to my Number One Fan.

Happy Birthday Wifey!

PS If you are one of the people who wants to get upset about me referring to her as “Wifey” then you need to know she loves the title. She loves the anonymity it gives her and she appreciates your consideration.

How Do You Measure Success?

Measure
Be honest, how do you measure success. Not how do you think you should measure it, but how

Over pay item Dioxide cialis trial offer this.

you really do. Typically it is by money. Sometimes it is by the impact you have on others and other times it is purely how you feel.

Success is worth considering. What it is, what it means to you and how it drives you.

Too often in the business world people don’t measure success because it is too hard. In particular this happens in the Exhibiting and Event Sponsorship world. Thousands are spent and then written off as a “Branding” exercise.

So what is success for you and how will you measure it?

Do Your Systems Support You?

Now that we are in the fifth week of the New Year, I need to ask, do your systems support you? I am not just talking about computer systems, but your manual systems and processes as well.

Michael Gerber is the king of business systems. His book “The E-Myth Revisited” has some simple yet masterful comments and ideas on how you let your systems run the business and your people run the systems.

So how can you systemise more? From the simple addition of check lists on order forms, to a weekly structure for your time or simply having custom lead cards when you next exhibit or are sponsoring an event. The systems make your job easier and free you up for more strategic work (or holidays!)

So do your systems support you?
