  • Don’t Prejudge Always Make Up Your Own Mind

    Don’t Prejudge Always Make Up Your Own Mind

    In sales we always train people never to prejudge a client or a prospect. You should always treat people the same and don’t be fooled by first impressions.

    The mantra don’t pre judge is not just in sales but is with most things. I have been reminded of this recently in my trip here to Perth.

    I have been kind of busy with a number of projects and although we had planned to have a holiday and had even booked the flights some time ago I was not looking forward to it.

    I love Bali and was wrapped up in what I was doing. then I started hearing the rumours! It is so hot in Perth you cannot breath, there are loads of fires, there is a big drought in Western Australia and watch out for the spiders and snakes..

    I was thinking why would anyone want to got to a place that has the only salt water crocodiles in the World, the only poisonous mammal, the most poisonous spiders and snakes and jelly fish with 3 metre tentacles that paralyse you??

    So, now my desire to travel there was less than positive. in fact I had already decided that I did not like it and was happy to change the flights and go off to Hong Kong instead.

    It was only that although we could change the flight dates or times, we could not change the destination and being a tight old git, I did not want to waste them so with a sulky face and the odd whinge I boarded the plane to Perth.

    Well, what a place it is fantastic, hot days and cool evenings perfect. The beaches are safe and clean, there are so many Parks and BBQ areas and walk ways and National Parks it is amazing. The people are fantastic too, so friendly and it is a very multi cultured society too. The lifestyle is amazing, everyone is out and about doing something.

    It has definitely given me a slap in the chops when it comes to pre judging. My family and I would mover here in a heart beat, but I don’t think they will have me. especially if they had heard my earlier comments.

    That will teach me to talk about and comment on something I have absolutely no knoweldge or expereince of… Or will it?

  • Bakugan Game Daniels first site is up and running

    Bakugan Game Daniels first site is up and running

    Daniel, my youngest son, who is 11 has got his first site up and running.

    It is www.bakugan-game.net I really do not understand the rules or the game much to Daniels frustration and amusement.

    The Game of Bakugan You have a team of brawlers and each have their own bakugan’s then they have bakugan ability cards and bakugan gate cards there are also traps. so complicated and not only that I cannot read the text on the cards.. Old age again!!

    I am sure games were not as complicated as this when I was younger. Monopoly, Cluedo and ludo was my staple gaming diet before the onsite of basic video games like bat and ball, pacman and space invaders. Those were the days.

    Anyways, the website is a wordpress blog, like most of my sites and Dan has designed the website himself in Artisteer and created the structure and content all himself.

    We have added adsens to the site and next we will be adding amazon so he can start making some money.

    Most of the pages are already indexed and now I have to teach him how to build backlinks to the site.

    I am really proud of what he has done and hope he makes some money from it.

    If he keeps on like this and he builds a few more cash generating websites, he could well be earning more money per week than some adults earn.

    The beauty of these sites is once they are done there is little else needs doing to them they just grow and keep generating money.

    Even if they only make $10 per day, if he can build 10 of those sites over the next 12 months he will be on $100 per day passive income.

    Not bad for an 11 year old (he will be 12 then ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Any one for a game of Bakugan I know someone who knows all the rules ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Accountability and The Art Of Getting Things Done

    Accountability and The Art Of Getting Things Done

    If you are like me and suffer with ADD (Attention deficit disorder), apparently there are millions of us, then completing one task before going onto the next is a challenge.

    Those that do not have it tend to find working with those that do frustrating, to say the least. We tend to lose interest in things very quickly, have poor memories and do not like getting into detail. Just give us the facts, the bottom line. Can we or cant we?

    For me, my mind works at 100 miles per hour and I come up with some amazing ideas, even if I do say so myself. I can solve problems quickly and easily, with almost lightning speed, where others spend days going into the detail and never coming up with any solutions.

    Now, there are times when this is good and times when it is not so good. If there was a problem on a lunar mission and peoples lives were at stake then I imagine my slap dash approach may not beย  welcomed. However, for your every day problem, where the lives of others is not an issue then my get things done attitude is a real assett!

    There I go again, digressing from my main topic ๐Ÿ˜† another common problem with us ADD suffers.

    So, my point is how do we stay on track and get things done. I have tried writing lists, keeping a diary and numerous other ways to ensure I stay on track but very few of these work for me.

    I have got better over the years and I do use a project management system for all my staff which takes so much will power on my behalf you would not believe it.

    The one surefire way to get things done on time is to make yourself accountable to someone other than yourself.

    If you work for someone else then this is not an issue because you have accountability to your boss, you have to perform and be seen to do so otherwise you will be out ofย  job. However, if you work for yourself then there is nobody there to crack the whip and I believe that we ALL need some to be accountable to as it definitely improves our performance. Well it does mine anyway.

    It can be a friend, your partner or your mentor, (if you don’t have a mentor, get one they really make a difference) By letting them know what you intend to do and when you intend to do it by.

    Since using someone to hold me accountable, I find it so much easier to focus on that one thing until complete.

    It is fair to say it is a trick of the mind but it works.

    If you are having a problem getting things done try it. You can even use me if you like, email me with what you want to get done and I will stay on top of you cajoling and pestering you until it is complete.

    Until next time.
