These past few weeks I have been exposed to another amazing tool to assist people to connect and communicate with friends, family and customers. This tool has been cost prohibitive to many of us as only the top people in our companies could afford this luxury. But now the game has changed forever! One company, leaders in visual technology, has brought this powerful tool into your media workplace and at an affordable price.

Today, I‘d like to share concerning the power of using webinars to develop and grow a global business.

1. Is it really important to understand what is a webinar?

2. Why you can use this to share your business opportunity?

3. Then demonstrate a great low cost option to support you as you build your business.

To finish off my post I have an extra-special bonus webinar from my friend, top marketing guru Scott Scales that he created for his top marketing buddies a few weeks ago.

What Is A Webinar?

Is the named used for Web-based seminar; a webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web. The key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements — the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast (Podcast ), in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.

The Webinar experience is made up of actual, live interactive learning experiences. Participants are able to ask by the instructor questions and receive answers in real time. The instructors are able to conduct polls and ask questions receive feedback. Participants can receive course materials by e-mail prior to the seminar and also are able to view the instructor’s PowerPoint slides during the seminar. It can be hosted by an individuals and invite guest presenters along with the ability to open up the lines and allow attendants speak if you so wish – quite versatile. These types of online webinar have a much higher impact than simply reading material on the web.

Webinars offer exceptional convenience. They are ideal for brown-bag lunch training. No travel is required. How many attendees can attend the webinar has been dependant on the subscription level that has been chosen by the customer.

The two company giants, Webex or GoTo Meeting have dominated the web-conferencing industry for years. it is said that the industry is worth billions now. In 2008 the industry grew to over $1.1 billion an increase of 19% … So these companies have had the enormous share and have made the price point prohibitive to a lot ordinary people. This is where its exciting for us all as I have found a company called Talk Fusion that has a monthly price of $20.00 per month along with other tools . WOO HOO!!

Are Webinars limited to anyone? And can participate?

Webinars are open to every type of business that you can think of. Use a webinar to present to a few – or a few thousand . Anyone who wants to share any type of information as it can be designed for any audience for training to sharing the latest news of your company, to home based business owners or to build team spirit, for professionals eg: engineers, scientists, university faculty, graduate students, manufacturers and consultants.

Submit your details below and I will send you a link to the webinar where my friend Scott shares in a 17 minutes webinar the benefits of using webinars as a part of an everyday tool to build YOUR Business.

Take time to share if you have used webinars as a part of building your business and what were the benefits. If you are wanting more information of how you can get your hands on this technology as its to be released in days…

Make it a terrific day

What a wake-up call!

As you can see I am a little more vertically challenged than the rest of you and this leads to the horizontal challenge I have!!! I made a decision a few years ago after trying and failing on so many programs. It was TIME to be totally honest with myself… I had become OBESE.

All this after 35 years, four sons, and a lifetime of serving people!! It was important for me to realize that it had taken years to become like this and so it would not disappear or shift over night (and of course it didn’t)! It wasn’t about a quick-fix program!!

There was no point beating myself up, I needed all the energy I had to exercise determination and intention to regain my size 12 body!!

This became about a lifestyle choice that would serve me for the rest of my life…

Being a part of a company that promotes wellness, it was important for me to become a “product of the product”!!

When OsoLean® was released 2 years ago…I  listened to Dr Nugent’s training as he showed that this product was all about a complete paradigm shift in the way we would look at things!! Take a peek @ Dr Nugent’s training as he shares how this real food peptide technology called OsoLean® can support your body to reduce fat while it maintains lean muscle.

My Journey So Far !!!.

I needed to make the decision for myself knowing that if I wanted things to change I had to change. I could see that this product was something my body needed and so started OsoLean®.

So what changes did I see?

There were 2 MAJOR THINGS I NOTICED

1. The centimeters (inches) being released very quickly.

This was a totally different way to look at fat loss.. So my new friend, the tape measure, was not be feared!!!

Muscle is tight and toned and fat is fluffy !!  Muscle is about 5 times as dense as fat.

2. Appetite satisfaction (this is HUGE) this make a big difference at the times when you normally feel like you could eat an elephant or that block of chocolate!! It gives a real appetite satisfaction that you feel that you don’t need those extra nibbles

This is a journey and not a race.

Someone said “It’s not so much the destination but who you are becoming on the journey”.

Earlier this year I hit an obstacle when I started to gain weight. I lost my energy levels, and  the spring in my step had gone. That’s when I sought the support from Faith Best, my nutritionist & naturopath-who quickly discovered a health challenge that I wasn’t aware of. With her support and guidance along with the Mannatech products including OsoLean®,  I’m back on track.

MY RESULTS SO FAR….

Over these past 2 years I have lost 72 centimetres and 18 kilos and I’m into a size 14 (some size 12 tops and bottoms) from being a size 18-22 (depending on the style). Last week it was an exciting experience going through my wardrobe and emptying out clothes that don’t fit me anymore!! It was an amazing feeling to see these clothes in a pile on the floor- clothes that I used to wear that are now far too big !!!

This has been a lifestyle choice that I choose everyday “to honor my body with foods that nourish”!

I’m looking forward to the next OSOLEAN challenge to achieve the next goal..come with me on the next part of my fat loss journey as I release more FAT.

Make Good choices today that will serve you.

At the end of this story, ask yourself a question:
“Which is the important race to win?”
The story goes …………..
It was a sports stadium.

Eight children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.

Ready! Steady! Bang!
With the sound of toy pistol, all eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps, when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down.

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently….

And enquired as to how she was….

They then lifted the fallen girl – pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post…….. .

There was pin drop silence at the spectator’s stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps, even God’s!

Yes! This happened in Hyderabad, India, recently!

The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health.

Yes! Your guess is right! They were spastic children. All these special girls had come to participate in this event
Yes, they were mentally challenged.

What did they teach the world?

• Teamwork?
• Humanity?
• Equality among all?

Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind.
I think we never do this because we have brains!

So tell me… in your opinion:
“Which is the important race to win?  The one in the stadium? Or the one in Life?”
This is really a great message… Please share it with a friend.

May you win  in “LIFE”

Thank you for taking the time to stop to read my new blog post. I appreciate all my family, friends, my empowered tribe, mastermind group, online  marketers, and people just curious to check out what this blog really is  all about !!!   Please take time to share your thoughts in response.

Over the past few weeks I have been reading Everyone Communicates Few Connect by John C Maxwell. Every page has so many gems to explore. I resonate with the author. John says “If you want to succeed you must learn how to connect with people, and while it may seem like some are born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection”.

John explores and shares five principles and five practices to develop the crucial skill of connecting

1. Finding a common ground

2. Keeping your communication simple

3. Capturing people’s interest

4. Inspiring people

5. Staying authentic in all your relationships

ONLY ONE THING STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND SUCCESS…..
IT ISNT EXPERIENCE……IT ISNT TALENT

…Its  the ability to connect with others is a major determining factor in reaching your full potential. It’s no secret! Connecting is a skill you can learn and apply in your personal professional and family relationships and you can start now.”

These principles are foundational to our success and when my friend Scott Scales shared a new tool with me a few weeks ago there was major convergence happening because it brought the power of connection to another level .

WOW this is really exciting as this new social media video platform Talk Fusion is being launched globally June 21st 2010. As a friend Glyna Humm stated in her blog post “ It’s  a GAME CHANGER” .   This is all about connecting with people in a way that nothing else can.

Can you imagine a salesman trying to sell TV’s that show only the subtitling and not the picture…ludicrous!  So why would we ever imagine that text emails are the standard for communication?

The possibilities are endless as this innovative technology changes the way in which we connect with our families, friends, clients, business associates and teams, peers.

Our online culture is suffering from email-overwhelm.   However those who take the time to really connect with you in  some unique way, whether face-to-face, phone, mail, cards, email, photos, Skype, social media and video will never be forgotten, even if you lose contact. You will never forget how they made you feel !!

These are the people you share with, laugh with, listen to, support, celebrate together, do business with, and even joint venture with. Bob Burg said it in The Go-Giver, “ All things being equal people will do business with, refer business to , people they know, like and trust”. The power of the connection you have with people opens the door to do business, whether business of the heart, or market-place business.

Take some time to have a look at Talk Fusion. It maybe serendipity  (finding something you weren’t even aware you were looking for) to take your marketing to the next level, or to support you to reconnect with your family or team.

My friend Scott Scales has detailed how you can implement this into your social media marketing strategy.   Also Chris McCargar shared how his 84 year-old dad got excited, as he saw even he could send a video birthday greeting to his grand-daughter.

So no matter who you are, the power of video is a powerful tool to really connect and keep connected with people.

PASSION, AMBITION, BUTTER

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

Has anyone seen the movie “Julie & Julia”?  This week I was prompted to reminisce how entertaining, humorous and motivating this movie was especially with Julia’s interest in blogging and I was setting out on a journey of blogging too.

Briefly the movie Meryl Streep who plays Julia Child and Amy Adams as Julie Powell with the writer-director Nora Ephron’s adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell’s Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme.\”Julie & Julia\” Trailer
Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends…until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

This week I meet an inspiring young woman who is apart of our Empowered Tribe asking her about her niche and listening to her share about herself, her passion as she also is new to blogging. She mentioned she was in the hospitality industry and was a chef!! My response was have you seen “Julie & Julia”? She said “yes that was her inspiration”!!! So how exciting to  have our own Julia “Ann Johnston The Hospitality GURU”

Achieving Success!!

Australia’sMost Glamorous Designer

Alex Perry”

Many of us have dreams and aspirations and are busy  pursuing our goals and working steadily at them every day. At times we face many different challenges and sometimes these can derail us, or we can continue to push through to success no matter what the cost of what we are seeking to achieve.

This week is the Australian Fashion Week in Sydney and I was very interested to see a quick interview with the “Australia’s Most Glamorous Designer Alex Perry” and was inspired to share some of the points he shared.

In the interview, Alex was asked about his 18 years of being in the Fashion Industry… what was the highlight? “Being on the front page of Vogue”. What was the low light? His response was “ I had 6 years of low lights.” Even though he had articles and pages in Vogue, he still couldn’t pay to have the brakes fixed on his car!!! His wife Mary, a model, supported the dream, believing in the direction they were headed. He honored her support and how fantastic she was. The interviewer asked, “Did you ever contemplate quitting?” He said, “How could I quit?” He was too embarrassed to say that the dream wasn’t working, and then realized he had a team of people around him who together were invincible and they could achieve anything they set out to”.

Alex was correct as the Australian Fashion Week was launched Alex hosted an amazing extravagant event “With more than a thousand guests and a star-studded front row, the designer’s parade was nothing short of show-stopping.” Marie Claire.

This story is a incredible Australian success story  which after years of struggle has achieved success. When we see people like Alex we think they have always been successful  …although  Alex is just like all of us he had a dream to create a niche and now is  successful despite the years of struggle… What an encouragement to keep pursuing your dream……. and yet everyone has a journey that needs to be shared..

So what’s your journey so far  ?  Please share

Alex Perry’s Bio

This is short Alex Perry’s bio He is particularly noted for his designs in womenswear. After graduating from East Sydney Technical College in 1984, Alex worked as a model agent representing Australian models for international modeling agencies. In 1992 Alex opened his first atelier creating gowns, corsets and sheaths. Vogue Australia photographed these gowns that became the Alex Perry trademark signature in his first editorial shoot.

Alex is the middle son of three boys of Greek immigrant parents,  who ran a hamburger, shop in suburban Sydney. His wife Mary is a former fashion model from Greece. Alex’s brother Lee is a voiceover artist who has performed in many television series and movies including the Hollywood film Happy Feet.
Alex relocated his salon in 1994 to Double Bay,  Sydney where he built up his clientele to include high profile celebrities, social identities and personalities. Alex was a designer at the inaugural Mercedes Australian Fashion Week held in May 1995, and has shown collections each year.  Alex’s runway shows have featured models such as Linda Evangelista, Megan Gale, Miranda Kerr, Kate Fischer, Alyssa Sutherland, Nicole Trunfio and Lily Cole.

Alex launched his first “ready to wear” collection in 1998. Alex‘s Couture signatures of the ready-to-wear collection are boned corsetry, hand ruching and sexy, feminine silhouettes. In May 2002, Alex launched his Sydney salon at The Strand Arcade. Alex ‘s debut accessories collection was launched in 2006 and features stilettos, jeweled clutch handbags and bijoux earrings for evening and bridal.
International models Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista and Claudia Schiffer have donned his designer ball gowns and red carpet eveningwear. Jennifer Lopez and Nelly Furtado both chose to perform on stage and walked the red carpet in Alex’s  gowns. His designs have also been modelled by Jennifer Hawkins former Miss Australia and Miss Universe and now television presenter on The Great Outdoors and have been worn by Sonia Kruger on the celebrity reality show Dancing With The Stars.

For years I struggled with this whole concept of leadership, possibly in a negative way. I was okay to be making a difference in other people’s lives, serving, supporting, leading, loving, mentoring, caring, connecting, and adding value to people’s lives, and yet when the word “leadership” was mentioned I would run a mile.

Have you ever had a response like that? So what triggers that sort of response when we talk about leadership? Maybe it was fear: an apprehension to the responsibility that comes with being a leader. Maybe the word had bad associations. It could be the leaders in the companies, communities, churches, or network marketing companies are not the kind of leaders we desire to resemble. If they are “leaders” we do not want to be like that!!

However choosing not to move forward because of the resistance to this style of leadership portrayed can paralyze us and is detrimental to our success and any future of leading a life of true significance and being all we were created to be. We can default to be “content to play a small game”.

Be inspired! Change those faulty associations! Even if you stumble and fail in different attempts, you will still have accomplished more than if you did nothing. Just make sure that you maintain your integrity, learn the lessons, and get on with the journey!

There is so much excellent stuff on leadership and the difference an authentic leader can have on a nation, a team, a family, a church, or leading a company (and especially as an Online Marketer). I continually search for inspirational role models to “flesh-out” what is real leadership that makes a difference.

Over the Easter break I watched “Invictus” the story of Nelson Mandela’s first term as President of South Africa. It was inspirational! And demonstrated amazing leadership and focus. “His people needed a leader. He gave them a champion. He was a prisoner who became a president. To unite his country, he asked one man to do the impossible.”
Despite all the obstacles he faced from being in prison for 27 years he used that time to understand what must be done to bring the nation together….

What has this man got to with us as “Internet Marketers” ?

• Leadership is influencing through serving first and foremost
o Be a person who has a giving heart. Be a “Go-Giver”
o Be a person who adds value to peoples lives
o Be a person who hasn’t got a “what’s in it for me” attitude!

• Leadership is influencing through the ability to Inspire
o Be a person who is authentic and transparent
o Be a person who empowers people to step out of their comfort zone

o Be a person who encourages people to pursue their dreams and goals

• Leadership is influencing through taking initiative and taking a risk
o Be a person to leads by example by being a person of action
o Be a person who is vulnerable to share what’s working for you and what didn’t

• Leadership is influencing through agreements as a strategy

Through our growing influence and significance we bring leadership to our communities. It is so essential to find training to support our leadership development.

The 7-Figure Networker has been a valued addition to my tool box. I need the continual challenge to move me forward in pursuing my online presence.

Please take the time to share your experience as you have developed in leadership and what you found supported you in your journey.

Consider this quote from my Civil War hero, Joshua Chamberlain. ”The inspiration of a noble cause enables men to do things that they did not dream themselves capable of before… The consciousness of belonging vitally to something beyond individuality, greatens the heart to the limit of the soul’s ideal and builds character.”
