A new blogger gets it right

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to a now reactivated blog, I have finally got the hang of doing things on this. I never said that I couldn’t use modern technology, it just takes me a while to get it right and now I can put stuff into it after each meeting.

Probably by the time everyone reads this we will be having our last gathering for the year, celebrating a profitable and fun time together with Leads Success Brisbane. This Thursday, 17/12/2009, we will be having a general discussion and no specific speakers.

Welcome to John Bellamy, from Conveyancing Works. John lives in Birkdale, but deals with business contacts on the Northside and up the Coast, he is very busy. He has a lovely 6 months old, with whom is he besotted; and a lovely wife as well. John promised to beat all comparable Conveyancing quotes by 5%.

Sadly we say goodbye to Derek Miles our accountant, he is taking sometime out to sort issues related to him. Much as we hope he comes back, we are now open to a new Accountant and Solicitor, as well as other vacancies which we don’t have filled already. Check your business contacts and see if in 2010 we can increase our group with more and more members.

Speakers for Thursday 10/12/09 were Audrey Petersen and Janeece Giraldo.
Audrey from Petersen’s Car Consultants and Automobile repairs spoke about her travels around the Mediterranean. Audrey spoke enthusiastically about Turkey and how amphitheatres, designed many centuries ago, could project sound all the way to the back stands so all could hear the stage. It shows that we have not always learnt as many things as we would like to think we have.

Janeece Giraldo from WIN Financial Network stepped in at the last moment to speak.
Janeece spoke about the difference between billionaires and millionaires; billionaires read their goals at least 3 times a day, millionaires read them once a day. Initially she thought that she was crossing into Mary Ryan (8 Carat Coaching)’s area of expertise, but Mary reassured her that all coaching from many areas is good. So a New Year’s Resolution could be to write up your goals and have them where you can read them 3 times a day, and soon we will be on the way to being millionaires/billionaires!

Speakers for Thursday 3/12/09 were Ngaire Birch of Bircharomas - aromatherapy and massage, who spoke about a range of natural first aid remedies to have at home suitable for the whole family. Some of the remedies covered were Essential Oils of Lavender, Peppermint, Ginger and Tea Tree. Herbal remedies mentions included Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Calendula and Ginger. Homeopathic remedies included Arnica – good for bruising and Nux Vomica – any forms of nausea (suitable for children and pregnant women). A comprehensive data sheet is available on request from her.
The other speaker was Simon Penrose from Surecom, a communications expert. Simon talked about many types of communications and how technology has blurred the data transfer, both verbal and information so that many systems can be meshed. Another area that Simon can help in is the moving of companies, he knows the right questions to ask, its better to know before you move that your business will be able to run properly from the start, rather than settling in and finding out problems which the telecommunications company didn’t think about and not being able to fix quickly. Also, he can help to smooth line the cost of telecommunications system by helping to link out-of-office workers with the company to help reduce mobile phone costs. For more information, contact Simon for a greater explanation on cost savings and smoother operations of your telecommunications needs.

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday. Any comments about the blog, please email me, I will try to include a brief précis of the speakers talks and any points of interest.
