Most of us entering this world of online business jump in with a notion that we are in the direct sales industry (give yourself a pat on the back if you realized this). We learn that we can use an online marketing system to capture the traffic we attract to our business and products (again, [...]
When search engines attack…
I want to share with you today, a story that is all about love, hatred and betrayal. It is an inspiring and gripping tale that will leave you wondering what the next chapter will bring. You can rest assured that there will be no end to this saga. At it’s core, this is a classic [...]
Where does the REAL potential lie?
As many of you will be aware, Cameron and I started our entrepreneurial journey in a community newspaper, in a small country town called Maleny, in Queensland. The notion of owning a newspaper was driven very hard by Cameron (who has ink in his veins, I swear). The subject first came up five years earlier [...]
What great salespeople SHOULD be saying to your face…
I wandered into my favorite dress shop the other day, to have a browse. Actually, that is a bit of an understatement, I marched in there, a woman on a mission, to (come hell or high water) buy myself a fabulous dress. Now, I had no particular occassion to wear the aforementioned dress, but I [...]

Some ramblings about insanity…
I want to share with you the experience I had with a consultant of ours who dropped out of the business a couple of months ago. He was a guy who got started in the business all fired up with sky high hopes, dreams of travel, luxury cars, and a life of complete financial freedom [...]
The view from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise…
Sounds a little obscure as a headline I’ll admit, but there is a method to our madness, as you’ll find when you read on (and no, this is not a clever marketing ploy to compel you to keep reading, it is actually a cunning analogy, which will be more obvious by the end . You [...]
How and Why to Market “One Step at a Time”
Some awesome advice here from the “King of Copy” Craig Garber. Tanya and I paid $7,000 just to speak to this guy for a day. That’s how much we value what he says. If you aren’t already signed up for Craig’s list it’s well worthwhile. He sends emails like this about three times a week. [...]
