Ballzy or Bossy????

Do you think I'm bossy? Its a simple question. One I've often asked over the years. Some people laugh at me and say 'ofcourse not!', others say 'yeah, maybe!'. The thought of being bossy horrifies me. I don't want to order people around and tell everyone what to do. I like to think I'm nice and sweet and, well, not bossy!!!  But there are times when you have to tell people what to do right? How else will anything ever get done? I do have three kids so right there I've perfected the art of telling them what to do. I just didnt think I'd extended it out beyond my four walls of home. But maybe I have. 

You see I put a call out on Facebook for the 4370 friends of mine who havn't yet 'liked' my business page to please like it. I felt like that was the least they could do considering we were apparently 'friends'. It is right?? So anyway, there was a comment that followed saying something along the lines of me being bossy enough to have 300 of my friends 'like' the page. So it got me thinking. Oh No!! OMG!!! Was I being bossy here?? I asked my husband to read it. He never confirmed but I could tell by the look on his face that he agreed. Again, OMG, maybe I AM bossy!!

But then came another comment from another FB friend saying 'what a ballzy thing to do'. I liked that. Ballzy! Yeah, I can be ballzy. So what exactly is the difference. Well this is my take on the whole thing. Bossy is demanding people do what you want them to do. Ballzy on the other hand is taking charge of your life and the outcomes you expect and putting some action into place to achieve it. Hopefully in a half decently nice way. 

So no more Miss Bossy Boots for me. I'll be nice but I will be in control, steering things the way I believe they should go. All the while, being considerate of others but always aware of the outcome I desire and going for it. Thats Ballzy!!

Red Hot Joy. Have you got it?

A couple of weeks ago I had Amanda Gore speaking at my first Red Hot Event of the year. Most people know who Amanda is but if you don't, you may like to look her up. Just sayin!! Amanda is a world class international speaker who travels the world speaking to millions of people. She has this ability to  touch the hearts of everyone who hears her in a hilarious, real, emotion charged way. She's amazing. You laugh and cry and as you hear what she's saying and think to yourself, 'Yeah, I do that', 'That's ME!'.

Her big focus is spreading the message of Joy around the world. I mean seriously, don't you think we all take things just way too seriously these days? All our problems and stress could quite possibly be as easy as us just learning to lighten up and laugh now and then. Its not rocket science but it can be rocket science teaching people HOW to do this. And that's what Amanda does with precision.

She was talking about 'Joy in the Workplace' and how important that is to create an environment thats happy, fun and most of all productive. As leaders, business owners or employers, the tone we set at work determines the tone of the organisation. It starts with us and filters down. It is of utmost important to bring Joy back into the workplace, allow people to feel valued, acknowledge them for their efforts and celebrate their achievments….including your own.

Watch these videos of Amanda and you'll know what I'm talking about. ENJOY!!!

Our Workshop with Kylie

We brought Kylie Bartlett to The Sunshine Coast on Monday 22nd November for an all day workshop 9 – 5pm.

Kylie’s running her “How to Flirt and Convert on Facebook” workshops all over Australia and NZ teaching  her proven strategies to use Facebook to promote and monetise your business!! Attached is a brochure of the event.

“HOW TO FLIRT AND CONVERT ON FACEBOOK!”

Leverage Facebook to BUILD YOUR BRAND andPROPEL YOUR PROFITS!

The internet, social media and in particular Facebook have transformed the way businesses communicates with their consumers. Kylie’s Facebook ‘Flirt and Convert’ marketing system shows you how to leverage the power of Facebook to build a personal link with your market. Wow!! What an awesome day we had with Kylie. We filled the room with some of The Sunshine Coasts most accomplished business people. The energy and enthusiasm in the room was electric.

It was so exciting as we all came to realise the potential Facebook would give us to market our business, network with others and to create income from selling our products. The light bulb went on for many and we sat with our laptops working away and getting more and more enthralled with the potential that lay before us. Kylie is so much fun and she made us realise the importance of using this Social media phenomonon. If youre not using it then you really are missing out. Its the new generation of business.

We are purposeful entrepeneurs. The hard sell techniques are gone and todays successful business owners are allowing others to know them on a more personal level and then they get to know their business and trust it. People want to know you before they know your business. Once they like you they are so much more likely to want to do business with you. Facebook is the perfect way to do this. You can network with others and cross promote one another. The end result is SALES!! I highly recommend you get to one of Kylies workshops. See below for more details.

New Social Networking Site….Amplify.com

New Social Networking Site…..Amplify.com

There's a new kid on the block in the  soci al networking scene. It looks great and well worth checking out.

It takes second to set up your profile as it allows you to link your already set up Twitter and Facebook profiles to it. You can then link up any mutual followers from these other networking sites and you will instantly have followers on there.

The point of difference with Amplify.com is that it isnt Character limited. You can write as much as you like which will enable you to post articles, blog posts, reports, whatever you like and as long as you like. I've always found it frustrating trying to limit my message to 140 characters. Its difficult to get your point across and say anything meaningful.

Now you can and perhaps make much more of a difference as you share your message.

Enjoy using Amplify.com. I'll see you there.

Flirt and Convert!!

Well we interviewed Kylie on Thursday and it was a blast. She taught us all how to “Flirt and convert”

on Facebook!! She brings the glamour and the fun to social networking!! It was so refreshing to hear her unique

take on how to connect with others on Facebook. To her it is a business marketing tool but there are right ways to do it and there are most certainly wrong ways to do it!! How are your social networking skills? Do you offend people or entice them to want to know you more?

Its becoming an artform and you really need to know the social etiquette when it comes to sites like Facebook or you will turn people off quicker than you can say “Twitter”!  Kylie was such a fun lady to interview and her zest for life is contagious. I want what shes got!!! Shes flying all over the country right now doing workshops teaching people how to use Facebook to convert people over to their business and ofcourse buy their products. Facebook is a powerful way to generate traffic to your website which is your shop!! Facebook is your customers first point of reference to you though so you better have it looking spic and span. Professional and interesting. No drunken party photos or obscene language if you want to be taken serioulsy as a professional.

Not everyone sees Facebook in this light. Its up to you what you do with it but if you are out to drive traffic to your site then I would definately listen to Kylie. She knows what she taking about!!

I would love to hear your opinion about this. I would also love to hear if you’ve ever had a bad experience with Facebook. Love to hear it girls.

Interviewing The Web Celeb!!

We can’t wait til 10am tomorrow when we will be interviewing Kylie Bartlett ‘The Web Celeb’

Kylie Bartlett is an international speaker, a successful business woman and host of ‘The Web Celeb TV’, the world’s first Web TV Show dedicated to helping entrepreneurs create social buzz, build a brand and get celebrity results in their business.

Kylie has appeared on numerous Australian television and radio broadcasts including, ‘The Today Show, 9AM Show, 3MP, 2UB, and appeared in many Australian newspapers and magazine publications including, ‘The Sunday Herald Sun, Dynamic Business Magazine, Australian Banking and Finance Magazine,’ to name a few. Below is what Kylie will be sharing with us this week:-

How to Flirt and Convert on FaceBook

Warning! This Webinar may offend some listeners.

If the sheer thought of unleashing your inner pro or gigolo makes you feel violently ill, dont listen any further because what Kylie is about to share with you is sure to offend!

Whether you admit it or not, everyone of us enjoys a bit of flirtatious attention. It boosts our self esteem, it strokes our ego and makes us feel attractive and desirable.

I’m sure you will agree you will like to be the receiver of a good flirt now and again, but how good are you at giving it? If you want to attract more friends on FaceBook, (who are all potential customers) and grow your business, nows not the time to be a prude, you need to know how to flirt your little toosh off!!

All humans crave attention and connection, period! You’ve only got to look at the huge popularity of FaceBook as proof of this. Facebook has 450 million users, and they’re smart, affluent, internet savvy people who marketers can no longer ignore! A different kind of marketing is now required in order to score with these influential players.

If you think you are the only business doing what you do, think again! You might have had unique selling proposition (USP) when you first launched but now, in todays competitive online world, your uniqueness is becoming the norm!

The more crowded the global market becomes the more challenging it is to dominate and own your niche. In order to stand out in the crowd you need to have sex appeal. Consumers have heard every ‘pick up’ line in the book so no amount of cajoling is going to convince them to go on a date with you: you need to flirt before you can convert! Although this “Facebook Flirting” game can seem daunting and even a little racy, its actually quite simple and Kylie’s going to show you how!!!

See you at 10am tomorrow. If you havnt yet registered, get in quick and register now at www.workingwomenonline.com/webinars/
