Hi,
Are you in business, and do you feel you no longer own the business? It owns you! Many people start a business thinking it will give them a degree of freedom they could never find working for someone else.

Then, 5-7 years later, sometimes sooner, the business owns them, and their dream of freedom has died. They become servants to the demands of their business.

This Thursday Morning at BNI Excel at Warners Bay, I will be sharing how to "Planalife you want to live through a Business On Purpose and love living life.

We start at 645 a.m. and meet at Brown Sugar at Warners Bay. You will have an awesome breakfast and meet with some talented Business people. It will be a great way to start your day.

It might also be pivotal to consider what is next in your life.
John Foreman penned, "This is your life! Are you who you want to be? This is one of the questions we will discuss.

If you would like to join us, please let me know. I need to register you before Wednesday at 4pm.
I hope you can join us... Ian

AT present, we have some opportunities in Our BNI group. We meet each Thursday morning at Brown Sugar at Warners Bay.
In the last 12 months, we have seen over $2,000,000 worth of business passes from our members around the room to other members. In addition, we have forged some great business and personal friendships.

BNI has made a significant difference to my business and could to yours. If you would like to know more, please comment or send me a private message.

Come visit us on Thursday morning.

Cheers Ian

This Thursday morning, I will be our feature presenter at BNI Excel.

As we approach the new Financial Year 24-25, I ask all my clients, "Does your Marketing Plan align with and communicate your Business Plan?"

I have just completed a new book called "In Focus Marketing." The theme of the book is to create alignment and synergy between your business plan and your marketing plan.

This may seem common sense; however, do you have a written and deliberate Business Plan prepared and ready to follow for FY 24-25? Have you developed a marketing plan to support it? We are only one month away from kick-off!

90% of businesses don't have either. You are far more vulnerable to wasting money on your marketing if you have no plan. You are the victim of and more susceptible to good marketing from marketing companies if you don't know where you are going and growing over the next four quarters. When you have both, you can weigh the benefit of their proposals against your strategic plan.

If you can join me, I would love to invite you to breakfast with me and the BNI EXCEL Team. We meet at Brown Sugar at Warners Bay at 645 a.m. each Thursday. I am speaking this week, the 30th of May. I have to register you by 5 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.

Please Message, call or email me and continue your "More from 24" Journey, preparing to "Thrive in 25" as well.

Cheers Ian

Great little Therapy session this morning with Andrew on his new little Seadoo GTI rocket 🚀

We haven’t been down to Fraser park in a while. Took in Catho and the old coal loader. Found some new blow holes and an awesome little wave a Crabs Creek Moon island. The sunrise wasn’t too bad as well

No whale’s yet. They should be going on holidays soon. I hope to get out again tomorrow.

This Thursday morning 30th I am talking at our BNI group about the importance of alignment of your marketing plan with your business plan. Someone told years ago,” 50% of your marketing works. What if you knew which 50%it is”
I know!
I would love to have you join us. I’ll put a spiel up tomorrow. We meet at Brown Sugar at Warners Bay at 7am
Great company and great food and it would be great to see you,
cheers Ian

Happy St Patrick’s Day to Ye’ all!
This is the 40th St Patrick's Day Donna and I have celebrated together as Husband and Wife.
We couldn’t have imagined what life would look like now, back in 1984. Three amazing kids with wonderful partners of their own and nine little grand rascals, life is very full!

Reflecting on 40 years of marriage last night led me to wonder, “What makes a HAPPY marriage?”

Whenever there is some sort of celebration, we wish happiness to fall upon the day, person, marriage, friendship, birthday, event or any memorable moment. But how can we choose to be HAPPY in those memorable moments, particularly in our marriage?

My crazy brain works in Acronyms, Backronyms, Acrostics and Word-ladders. So for this special moment, St Pat’s Day and our 40th Anniversary, let's discover how to stay HAPPY in Marriage

H= Helpful
Are you helpful in your relationship? Do you look to help each other? Do you carry the load, share the burden, support, encourage and consider each other first? Are you 100% in? Do you think of yourself first, or are you looking to be there for your partner first? Being considerate, kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and a blessing to your partner is helpful. We need to show, act and demonstrate our love through helpfulness.

A= Attitude
Do you have a good and positive attitude towards your partner? An attitude is chosen. Thinking positively, politely, protectively, positionally and proactively toward your partner, preferring them in front of you, will gather the right ingredients together to help you bake a good attitude and make a great relationship. I heard many years ago, “Attitude brings Altitude” We will be as high in life as we want to be by the attitude we choose, not the default attitude that creeps up on us.

P= Patience
Love is patient and kind, does not keep a record of wrongs but rejoices in what is right. Patience is practical love. It slows life down for the right reason. If you wait for and wait on your partner, the weight of your love and patience will be displayed and revealed in every area, and that could become the turning point from tension and conflict. When patience meets frustration and anger, it is like putting water on a fire. When impatience opens the door…Well… you know what that is like and most of us have been there.

P= Persistence
Persistence is having a soft heart and a firm resolve. Obstinance is having a hard heart and no resolve. To have a happy marriage, you need to be persistent. At the altar, we make an unconditional promise to an imperfect person. So, how did you think that was going to work out without being persistent?
At the Altar, we didn’t make a commitment to alter the other person so we could be happy. When the two become one, the best one the two become is the best of both of them, not the most dominant, getting their own way all the time.
Persistence is an authentic commitment to the person when life hits the flip side of our vows. Love is easy when we are healthy, wealthy, faithful, better, and feel cherished. When our love is tested with trials of unhealthy, unfaithful, hardship, feeling ignored, and things have taken a turn for the worse, persistence is what needs to kick in to restore your relationship. You may not feel like loving, but persistence is the starter motor for turning your life around.

Y = Yes
Say yes to more things in your life. When “I do” becomes “I did” you need to think about where it is you are heading. Saying yes to adventure, living life to the full, risk, intimacy, fun, being daring and having courage! Living life with determination opens your life up, whereas saying no all the time closes your life down. Many people I know will live the next year ten times and not live the next ten years. If you genuinely want to live this one opportunity of life, you have to say yes more often to its opportunities. To experience all the wonderful things you will enjoy by saying yes, you will make mistakes, maybe have a few regrets, fail sometimes and have a couple of disappointments, but you will have lived. Your life is not a dress rehearsal. It is the main movie, and you are the star of this show, not in the supporting cast! So shine, say yes boldly and live your life to the max!

So, if you are Helpful, have a great Attitude, regardless of the circumstances, you are Patient and Persistent you will find that not only will you say Yes to life more often, life will say Yes back to you and you will love living life. Planalife you want to live then go out and live it!

Have a great St Pat’s Day and I am off to enjoy my anniverary. Happy wife, happy life. Happy Hubby, home buddy!

08/03/2024

Happy international women’s day. I have the privilege of coaching and working with truly amazing women who are shaping industries, transforming cultures and leading the way in so many ways. If you haven’t already show you appreciation this day and every day for the women who rock your world!
