Losing, Loving, Laughing & Life!

It’s been a week at home, this week, settling back into school routine, getting used to the grey skies, trying to decide if I want to stay here and try and buy this house, or move into Shoreham or Brighton to something brighter and newer.  Feeling restless…..but happier than recently as it’s been sunnier in Shoreham.

We’ve been gearing up for the Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day” on 10th October and I’ve been starting to plan the marketing campaign for that which will take place over the next four weeks and will hopefully fill the room.

Because even an event with a ticket price of £25, all of which we are donating to our favourite Money Gym charity “The Big Issue” (helping the homeless help themselves), takes a full on marketing campaign to ensure it’s success.

NLP Is Dangerous | Responsible For Nicola’s Karaoke Debut

OK, if you ever needed proof that NLP is dangerous….here it is.  And if you ever needed proof that I should leave the singing to Heather Cairncross – ok, here it is.  Wayne Buckhanan of NLP At Sea is my new best friend from the Internet Marketer’s Cruise and he deffo NLP’d me into doing my first karaoke on the Internet Marketer’s Cruise and let’s just say………..my poker playing is better than my singing! The little shimmy at the end was marvellous though….almost worth watching it through to the bitter end LOL

Notice how the video of the US plane coming down in the Hudson river is shown as a related video……….what are they trying to say? It was reported on the cruise tv’s the very next day…………oh no! It can’t be true…..LOL

We Never Worked A Day In Our Lives….

I keep uncovering little gems as people are still uploading videos from the Internet Marketer’s Cruise 2009.  Check out the sound track to this one which goes “never worked a day in my life” which is what people buy online (quick, easy, magic button stuff) but I’m telling you straight, we have all worked our arses off  in some form or another to be able to have this much fun. And it was great fun….
Join us next year off the coast of Mexico http://www.themoneygym.com/holidays

Caribbean Cruising, Beating The Credit Crunch, Communicating To Crowds

“How was the internet marketers cruise then?” you must be shouting!

Suffice to say I had the best time.  It was brilliant for work and such good fun.  I won’t go into it much here but I’ve been posting pics on Flickr and you can view them on the blog here – look out for the one of us covered in napkins at Miami International Airport because our flight was delayed by about 8 hours, and we were FROZEN.  Virgin Atlantic brought out some blankets just after we did this but still too little, too late.  Another highlight was my eating an entire sausage with peanut butter because I thought it was some weird american mustard.

Overall it was a great trip.  I met some amazing people, gave Robert G Allen a signed copy of my book (cheek of the girl!), made lots of new friends and potential strategic partners and had a ball.  I’ll be posting more about it on the blog as I remember stuff.

The Caribbean lived up to it’s hype and some!  We went to St Maartens, St Kitts and Tortola and Judith says they are not even the nicest islands.  I loved the way the weather changed all the time (see pics link above) even in one day, but was always warm and mostly sunny and hot.  If you are thinking of investing with Harlequin I would go for it  not just for the investment but just to get your 30 days free stay out there.

And if you go to St Kitts, and need a taxi or five, call my new mate Raphael, who drove buses in Hackney for 20 years, before retiring home to set up his taxi firm called “Empress Coaches”.  He personally owns two air-conditioned taxis but can call on his mates and does a great rate on tours.  Raphael can accommodate any number of visitors and boy! does he know his history.  He is a very funny, nice man, who will look after you brilliantly.

Call Raphael on his mobile 1-869-663-0324 (office: 1-869-466-7043) or email him on empresscoaches[at]hotmail.com

Back home and back to work – I’m going to cover my plans for 2009 in the “Success!” section of this ezine so I’ll just talk about what I’ve been up to the last few weeks here, shall I?

The “Gold For Christmas” competition and the all day Wealth-A-Thon was a fun event and won this year by Debbie Winterbourne.  I might do one every year….I’m starting work with Debbie via private ustream tv shows in the first week of February.  The runners up will be allowed to look over her shoulder, so to speak and all of it will be recorded.  Debbie has kindly given me permission to invite some of our other clients to watch too – she MUST be a star profile in Wealth Dynamics terms.

I’m hosting our “Let’s Talk Money” day next Saturday

http://www.themoneygym.com/events

We are only doing three of these in 2009 so if you miss this one, you will have to wait till 13th June!  We change the format every time, and I add the stuff that I think will move you forward in your wealth creation journey the most, so even if you have been to one before, it’s well worth coming again.

And then on Sunday I’m speaking for the first time for Darren Winters at his “Build Your Wealth” event.  You can attend the two day event for just £7 and you can book here at

http://www.tinyurl.com/buildyourwealth

Other events to watch out for are our property extravaganza in late March, with Rick Otton (We Buy Houses International) as our key note speaker.  Rick is the person who taught David Lee (who taught us) how to buy houses for £1 and he’ll be sharing his secrets with us then.

http://www.themoneygym.com/events

This is something I’m going to be very much focused on in 2009 and it’s entirely possible in the UK.

Hmmm, that’s pretty much it, so I’m off to upload more photos!

See ya!

Robert Allen Going Wild

One of the biggest thrills on this holiday for me (and there were LOADS!) was meeting and hanging out with Robert G Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Income, Multiple Streams of Internet Income, No Money Down and One Minute Millionaire among others.  He was there as a student, to learn how to use the internet to make sure that his next two books also go on the New York Times Best Seller List.

What a nice man!  Who know has a signed copy of MY book (along with Bob Proctor!).   How funny life can be sometimes……Bob got one of the hotseats and learned about Twitter (follow Bob at http://www.twitter.com/bestsellerbob ) and Ustream among other things, and I’ve just emailed him with more details about running a competition on YouTube like we did just before Christmas.  Secure your cabin for next year, at http://www.themoneygym.com/holidays – can you really afford NOT to come?

Money Gym Silver – How To Make Irresistible?

Okay, so I’m starting to think about the re-launch of The Money Gym Club – Silver Membership.

I’ve got a 7-8 week time frame and some great ideas about how to add massive value and make it irresistible – which it patently isn’t yet. We currently bundle Silver Membership on the ebook sale, and about 90% of people stay past the first month and most of those stay on past months one and two – so it’s good, but not irresistible.

Bit of background….Due to massive issues with the techie bits of the site, our first launch in May 2007 rather ran out of steam in the effort to get it all working right. I won’t go into it but there were SO MANY fundamentals that were not in place, despite early promises, that we rather lost momentum and enthusiasm for it, in the monster effort to get it just doing what it was supposed to.

We have ironed out issue after issue and now it’s all working, and is an awesome content management system, we are now looking at how to make it better. Steve has already made it much more intuitive to navigate and we have some more plans to make it better.

1. Creating camtasia videos to show people all the great elements of the site (gotta great twist for this too – thanks to Frank Kern!)
2. Completely re-doing the Internet Marketing Home Study System to bring it bang up to date with Web 2.0 – and then to give it away with Silver Membership
3. Finding a way to breathe life into the Forums, which suffer from the popularity of our private Google Group
4. Revamping our “Let’s Talk Money” days to be more live wealth coaching orientated and including….say two ( ? ) of those days with Silver
5. Giving away entry to say……three of our popular “Money Gym Presents…..” experts days

I also want to integrate all the payments into our shopping cart so that we can re-launch our Affiliate Programme. Then folks can earn commission from the ebook, the ebook/paperback bundle, recurrring commissions from The Money Gym Club – Silver Membership and Money Gym Gold – all from one place!

This in turn should make us more attractive to affiliates and joint venture partners, and I’ve got some brilliant networking opportunities coming up, with the World Internet Summit UK (watch this space, lovely reader as I have a GREAT offer coming for you on that, so don’t book yet….), getting to know Tim Brocklehurst with his 1000 strong team of Viral Spirallers, and the Money Gym / Internet Marketing Cruise in January. With Paulie Sabol, Mike Filsaime, Jenny Armato, Joel Comm and all those peeps I haven’t even met yet….should be some joint venture possibilities there hopefully.

But still the search goes on to highlight our unique position in the Wealth Creation Education marketplace, and to make Silver Membership ABSOLUTELY IRRESTISTIBLE!!

Any ideas as to what you would like to see? Just hit the comments link at the bottom of this post – help me out and TELL ME what you want, what you really, really want!

Cheers, Nicola

Money Gym Interviews: Paulie Sabol & Capt’n Lou

Nicola Cairncross from www.TheMoneyGym.com interviews reknowned internet marketer and real estate investment expert Paulie Sabol, and Capt’n Lou from Little Shop of Cruises about the forthcoming Mike Filsaime “Internet Marketers Cruise” in January in the Caribbean, and why YOU should be coming along!

Holiday With Nicola?

I’m really really excited to bring you some very special news!  If you want an example of “Attraction In Action” read on and be AMAZED! 

You may not know it, but I’ve been wanting to get a holiday for ages, but what with having to move house a few times in the last couple of years, and Steve, Judith and me working our butts off (in a fun way!) on The Money Gym…..apart from a weekend in Pisa & Florence, Italy, it just hasn’t happened.

But that hasn’t stopped me thinking about it and dreaming about what kind of a holiday I would like….and with all the different ages and interests in this house, let me tell you it would be tricky to find anything that suited all.  Our requirements for any dream holiday seemed impossible but include ….

1.  Loads for the kids to do (suiting both a 10 year old and a 13 year old going on 16.)
2.  Loads of stuff for me to do / learn – I get bored lying by a pool or on a beach all day
3.  Space for us all to get away from each other
4.  Lots of sun and fabulous places to visit
5.  Easy to get to from Shoreham By Sea – plane ideally!
6.  All inclusive – no cooking or cleaning
7.  No driving
8.  Great nightlifeWell, I had concluded that a cruise might be just the ticket and I had thought, well, if you are gonna cruise at all, the Caribbean is the place to go, eh?  But it still seemed so far away…daunting stuff really…

Attraction In Action!!

Then, talk about the POWER OF ATTRACTION!!  I had almost given up the whole idea when blow me down, if an email from Mike Filsaime, one of my very favourite internet marketers, didn’t arrive, solving ALL my holiday woes.
