A NEW NAME : SAME OLD SAME OLD BUT DIFFERENT (saw that on a 'T' shirt in Vietnam).
Welcome to LEADS SUCCESS, as voted at this mornings meeting, we will work in the background to establish a new BLOG address, in the meantime, business as usual.
Nicola Cox from 'Home Savvy Interiors' gave a brief to the point presentation on Renovations / redecoration's / or even new constructions, explaining that colour schemes start from the floor up. Choose your flooring and base colour and add the other colours as you go. Flooring choices other than tiles.... can now be Bamboo as an environmental decision, or if you are using timber, consider "plantation" timber or perhaps check out "The Red Shed" for recylced wood. Vinyl is also another possible Eco friendly choice. A great idea is to use Nicola's services as a consultant for the whole process.
### Julia's Sabbatical to Scotland: Only the brave would 'phone Julia in Scotland for lipstick, so instead, contact "Robyn Scokac on 32645566" as stand in for Julia.
###.........CHRISTMAS IN JULY............###
Next Wednesday Evening 23/7/08 at 7.00pm
GIARDINETTO RESTAURANT
366 BRUNSWICK ST
FORTITUDE VALLEY
PH 32524750

THIS MIXER WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF NEXT THURSDAY'S MEETING.....SO IF YOU ARE NOT AT THE XMAS IN JULY FUNCTION, SEE YOU THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY AT 7.00 AM ....SHARPISH.

Today's meeting was full of good humour & positives:
We had an interesting address by Glynis Bretherton about the uses and reasoning behind "Clinical Hypnosis" . You can contact Glynis for a consultation on 07 33671150 So I don't procrastinate I am writing this blog early in the week and have attached following an article from the founder of a similar Networking Group to Leads: Simple but Not Easy By Dr. Ivan Misner, BNI Founder and Chairman Networking is simple; it's just not easy.If it were easy, everyone would do it and do it well … and they don't! In this article I'm not going to give you a step-by-step process you need to employ to network effectively. No, this article is to get you to stop and think about all the networking advice found in articles, books, blogs, podcasts, and audios you aren't following. I want you to stop and think about the things you should be doing—and implement them.In my presentations around the world I talk about how to apply networking to your everyday life. Sometimes someone comes up and says, "I've heard my director or education coordinator talk about some of those things before." But they've never successfully applied them.Hearing it for a year versus doing it for a year are completely different things. Success is about the "doing," not just the "knowing." In fact, I believe that ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice! The only thing more powerful is knowledge on fire.There are so many things in life that look simple but, in fact, are not easy. Cooking is one of those for me. It always looks so simple. My wife can go into the kitchen and within 30-40 minutes put together a gourmet meal. Then, I get into the kitchen and burn water. Small repairs around the house look so simple. Then I pick up a hammer and, well, it's just not pretty. I remember when I was 17 my dad brought me into the garage and solemnly said, "Son, you'd better go to college, because you're never going to make a living with your hands!" Good advice, Dad. Thanks.Golf. Looks simple, right? I'm not talking about the professional competition; I mean just going out and smacking the ball around some grass. It looks simple. I've learned, however, that it's not easy.There are so many things in our lives that look simple but are not easy. Networking is one of them. It is a skill. A skill that takes commitment and effort to learn as well as consistently apply. So, I'm giving you an assignment (sorry, my inner professor is coming out): Think of one idea in a book, article, recording, blog—anything—that you've read or heard over the last year that you wanted to apply to your life but never did. Your assignment is to pinpoint that "something" and do it within the next seven days. If it is something you do on an ongoing basis, then find a way to incorporate it into your life and/or your business. All excuses are equal—just do it.Success is the uncommon application of common knowledge. You have the knowledge. Now apply it with uncommon commitment. It won't be easy. But I assure you it is simple.
So now we are fired up for the week, lets be reminded of other action required:
