You may not know this, I am involved in a fundraiser. I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, March next year. This is for the Prevent Blindness Foundation. The money will be going towards Macular Degeneration Research.
www.pbf.org.au
I created a vase shaped bowl. The money raised from the sale will be fully donated toward the charity.
The item is a laminated western Red Ceder Bowl I created on a laithe. This bowl is unique because it is two bowls glued together and finished with sand paper. The shape is something I had been toyng with for a while. But it took a while to grasp it to create what I was looking for.
I wish to thank Sarah Logue of Super Cruz for the assistance to place this item on Ebay. www.supercruz.com.au
The charity Sarah works with is;

फ्रिदय २४,१०,०८ Keynote
I am still learning to use this Blog. Finding features all the time.
I attend Brisbane Business SWAP each Friday morning. BBS is a networking group in Brisbane. The purpose is to foster the professional and personal development of the members.
www.brisbane.businessswap.com.au
This morning the keynote speaker was Danny Undrwood, the Managing Director of DANLEY Constructions. Telstra Business of the Year Award winner of 2007. Danny’s speech was about passion he has for his family, staff and all of the people who surround him. Danny’s passion came through so many times when speaking about family. Especially when it came to “Mum”.

Danny and Wife Lesley had a dream and a passion for the products the company produce and provide for the building industry.
If you have got the hard stuff and don’t want it to fall over or crack. DANLEY Construction Products will do it!!!(This is my quote)
Something about Danny speaking you know it will come from the heart. All natural, sounding unscripted. Danny knows the journey he has taken the staff on through the 20 years the company has been in production. Danny loves good humour and music. We will be having Danny back again sometime next year.
This was created this morning;
Think of the Beatles.
All you need is a product.
All you need is clients.
All you need is a dream, dream.
A dream is all you need.
When Danny was the President for BBS, he couldn’t win a “Thought of the Day” prize. Which is a mug sponsored by Red Day Coaching.
This morning Danny won the mug with;
How do you find a needle in a hay stack? With a match.
Nothing like a bit of humour to finish off the Blog.
See you soon. Brian info@vipas.biz

ब्रिंस १० मुनिते Keynote
I am going to try and add a video that was created at the Boot Camp run by Ian Harveyand John Shackleton. This happened last year.
क्लाइंट Relations
A business tip for you. Only if you wish to use it.
It is so simple you won't believe it. Four telephone calls per day. That's it. You contact four of your previous clients a day. Just make contact.
Keeping the relationship will save you mountains of money on marketing. Plus if these people remember who you are they will do the word of mouth, for you. I haven't worked out why so many businesses are pushing so hard to find new clients all of the time. Especially when you have had clients who have drifted. Yes, I understand some of those who have drifted are not worth ringing. However, they may know of someone who can use, or is intensely looking for a business like yours to ease the stress!!!!!
Do you have employees? Great... Get them to do the same. Let's do the maths. You are making four calls a day, plus you have three employees in the office. You + Three staff each making four calls a day equals 16 calls a day. Multiply this by five, which is the number of days n a week. Presto,,, your business has contacted 80 people. NOW WHAT WILL THAT DO TO THE BOTTOM LINE........................
Just imagine some of those coming back due to you taking the up front aproach and making contact. Several of those contracts return. All you have done is participated in 15 minutes of marketing per day and increased your client relations.
If this works for you. What about remunerating me for my tip. I will trust you to contact me and tell me how successful the calls were. Iwill leave it up to you to get back.
How about you flick me a nice fat 5% on the profit gain from these people coming back. I am in Brisbane, Queensland

फ्रिदय्स breakfast
This morning at Brisbane Business SWAP we had James Mcnamara present the ways of knowing and understanding the other persons in your business. Even though James was using a white board, I was able to interperet what profile of person he was referring.
As James informed us there are several hundred profiling programs out there. You just need to find the one that matches what you can relate. If you are an animal person. You may wish to discuss the profiling that has eagles, turkeys and penguins. Or if you are a automobile lover you may wish to hear about trucks and Mercedes Benz.
I enjoyed the presentation as I usually do. I have a liking for the keynotes that are filled with content. It seems to keep my mind awake. Now that I am the Speaker Seeker for the club. If I don't get it right I will work it out on the way. I find it very unfortunate for the members and guests who don't attend, due to the fact I and the other people who are there think as to what the people who are not there miss out.
