Hello there! I hope this newsletter finds you well. | |||
|
I've been really busy
over the past few weeks revamping my website and developing some new
products. Five minutes reading
should be all you need to read this word for word. If, however, you
are really short of time I suggest you find out about my exciting
new coaching medium and how you can earn commission through refering
people to my website. Enjoy the rest of
October, Mark. BUSINESS IN THE
21st CENTURY I believe that the 21st Century will
see major changes in the way that we do business. We have made rapid
progress through the Information Age; it is pretty much now
possible, via the Internet, to access most of the knowledge and data
in the world. Information is no longer power and the structures that
depended on this power are in decline. We are fastly approaching the dawn of
a new age that will be more about how we come together to use the
information and increased connectivity provided by the Information
Age. The New Age will be about connection, relationships and
collaboration on a gloabal, boundryless scale. Business in the New Age will see
greater harmony with nature and the human race. I believe that we
will have to change as we experience ever greater impact from the
counter force of nature and a growing global social unrest.
I feel as though I am on the fringe of
this change. Whilst, I can't claim to know how it will fully evolve
(and who could?), I do feel that I am incorporating key elements of
Business in the New Age into my own practices and teachings. It
feels very right. Two areas that reflect my flirtation
with New Age Business is my working together with others to create
profitable products and services and the sharing of channels to
market. Visit my updated site

activites. NOW TWO OF THE FUNNIEST JOKES
IN THE WORLD. Two aerials meet on a
roof, fall in love get married. The ceremony wasn't much
but the reception was brilliant. ********** Two cannibals are eating
a clown. One says to the other:
"Does this taste funny to you?" FIRST
EXPRESSIONS By the very nature of
the language a 'first impression' is normally seen to be either your
or the person you are meetings' first chance to impress. Human
beings will decide what they think of someone within the first few
seconds of meeting. This being the case I like to use the
alternative terminology of 'first expression' as impressing may not
be high on your agenda but expressing who you are might well be more
relevant. So, how quickly do you
make up your mind about someone? Is it when you have a long
conversation? Is it when you are introduced? Is it when you first
make eye contact? No, for most people a great many opinions are
formed when you first look at someone. How many times have you
'decided' someone's personality as they walked into a room? And how
many times have you later been proved wrong? Or right? We don't
always have the luxury of enough time to spend correcting other
peoples mistaken beliefs about us - wouldn't it be better to portray
a truer expression of who we are in the first place? How about if when going
into a meeting/date/social situation we took the time out to
consider which version of ourselves we wanted people to meet on that
occasion? By this I don't mean acting a role or pretending to be
something different to what we are but simply drawing on the most
appropriate aspects to our personalities for the situation in hand.
We all have many different characteristics and traits which go to
make up our whole beings - it's simply a question of thinking which
part of your personality you would like the people you are meeting
to remember the most. If you were being
interviewed for a job that required you to be responsible and mature
even in serious situations would you turn up for interview in a
clowns outfit complete with big shoes and squirty flower? An extreme
example I know but at to lesser degree these are the sorts of
decisions we make every time we meet someone new. It really doesn't
matter if you are addressing a conference of 100 people or just
placing an order at the paper shop it is equally important that you
leave the person/people with the idea of you that you would like
them to see. It's all about habits.
Get into the habit of asking yourself before you interact with
people which parts of you would be best for them to be familiar
with. What is appropriate for me to wear in this situation? This
simple way of thinking is very valuable when it comes to those times
when you may feel a little less confident - if you feel you are
presenting the right image you can't help but feel better in general
about yourself. The more you play with this the easier it gets.
Sometimes it may not feel as if it matters but you never know when
that person in the queue behind you could become important in your
life...... PARTICIPATE IN
MY NEXT PROJECT FOR FREE I want to bring your
attention to an exciting new project of mine. I'm aiming to bring
self-coaching to the masses through the medium of mime .. no
sorry!.. through streaming video and I'd like to enlist your help.
I'm putting together a
course entitled 'A Short Course in Achievement' which is an 8 week
program and includes more than 2 hours of video. When in full
production it will retail at £75+VAT and include telephone coaching
and email support. I'm looking for people
to pilot the programme for FREE in exchange for honest feedback as I
work through the finer details. I have worked with people in this
manner before with great success and would like to do the same
again. More information can be
found here. LET'S WORK
TOGETHER TO MAKE MONEY. I have a growing number
of products and services on my website and I'd like for you to share
in my success. I have just launched a
referal scheme were you can earn a 20% commission from all the sales
that I make through your referals. More information on my
referal scheme can be found by clicking here. Why not take a few
minutes to see how this could benefit
you.
