Kilts, Coaching Your Coach & Kicking 2009 Into Touch

So we missed the great “recession busting” OrangeBeetle party at the castle in Scotland, but we don’t have to miss out on Alan’s stirring speech for business owners in 2009 which was captured for YouTube of course.

I hope I can persuade him to make sure the next one doesn’t clash with the Internet Marketers Cruise next year, as I love a bit of tartan and scottish country dancing (well, I did go to school in Scotland for a while…).

It’s weird how things work out isn’t it?

While I was on the cruise I decided to put it “out there” that I wanted to speak more on stage, particularly at big multi-speaker events, selling Money Gym products and raising the awareness of The Money Gym.  When it was my turn on the mic, I thought I would use the opportunity to ask the event organisers in the room, what info they would want me to send them, to get a chance at a gig.  That resulted in two offers, while on the cruise, Jennie Armato’s event in April in London, and Robert Puddy’s event with Paulie Sabol and Donna Fox in September.

But the very act of saying it out loud, in public, resulted in ole TUT stirring himself and I got back to an email from someone who I knew of, but didn’t know very well, offering me a trial speaking gig.

Last week I spoke for Darren Winters at his “Build Your Wealth” event in London, and he’s asked me back for London on 14th / 15th February and Manchester on 21st / 22nd February.  Why not come along

And then I got an email from Brett, asking if I’m coming to his Next Level event on the Gold Coast of Australia, also in April.  He also thinks he could fill a room of people interested in membership sites…..and Oh, and by the way, did I want to speak at his “Make Money While You Sleep”event in Sydney too?  How EXCITING is that??

So I’m on a Money Gym Silver & Gold Webinar and we are talking about goal setting and planning for success, and about how the biggest obstacles to achieving your goals are sometimes what Mark Forster calls your “anti-goals”.

For example, I really want to speak more and travel the world doing that, but I’ve realised while thinking about the possibly Australia trip, that one of my “anti-goals” around that are “but I don’t want to be away from home too much”.

I’m imagining that Steve would mind, and the kids would even notice I was gone!  I got coached myself fairly robustly by Judith and the clients and realised that I was probably hallucinating it all, so I spoke to both and they all said “go” it’s a brilliant opportunity!”  You can listen again here >

Duh!  Of course it is.  And of course I will.

While i was actually ON that call, I got a message from Mr OrangeBeetle himself, and Alan’s asked me to speak at an event he’s organising in March.

And THEN, when I finished the webinar and put the phone down to Alan, I get another call and it’s Darren again, booking me for the two other gigs he’s running in February.

Very, very odd.  But great!

All of this makes me realise that I really do have to go back on a diet again, with all these speaking gigs coming up.  The weight’s been creeping back on over the last two years or so – I’m not as big as I was when we all went to New York for T.Herv Ecker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive, but it’s going that way.  Unfortunately I just love good food and wine, the social aspect that comes with all that, and Steve’s good food is better than most.

But I must find a way to resist his spatch-cock’d chicken, his potato dauphinoise and particularly his molton chocolate pudding.  God help me!

The cruise wasnt’t great for that either – the food was so good and the constant partying…oh my goodness.

But you can’t have everything can you?  And I’m getting to the age when, according to popular folklore, you have to choose between your face and your bum, look after one and the other goes haywire apparently.  Thin bum, you get wrinkles.  No wrinkles, you get a fat bum.

Whatever you are dreaming of for 2009, have a good think about the possible anti-goals or reasons why you might NOT want to achieve them.  Get them out in the open, throw some light on them and ask yourself “are they real or just hallucinations?”

If your goals include a website that makes money, why not register for my free Webinar this Wednesday – Membership Club Magic ?  Book your place here >>>

Have fun
We always do!

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

And if you want to join us next year visit http://www.themoneygym.com/holidays and choose Nicola Cairncross from the drop down menu to get Money Gym bonuses and be in our gang.

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!

Money Magic Wand Beats The Credit Crunch

I’ve had the most frustrating day, I can’t tell you!  In an effort to give you a “beat the credit crunch” boost, and tell you about the Money Gym Magic Wand I’ve found, I wanted to re-record some of my presentation from the Brett McFall weekend for you.

In particular I wanted to re-record the Membership Site material, and so I asked Steve to set up my Camtasia with my Powerpoint so that the two worked together, as I couldn’t figure out how to do using just Camtasia.

That took poor Steve a couple of hours setting up the Add-Ons menu, because mine wasn’t installing seamlessly like his did.  He had to hunt down the answer on the internet and he got it working in the end but there was a bit of swearing going on.

Finally I recorded the presentation, in one take, after a couple of false starts and fluff ups, but when I went to edit it, the sound hadn’t recorded.

Sigh.

And all this has stopped me writing my ezine articles so I’ve still got that to do this weekend.  No kids though so plenty of time….

However, I have managed to book our flights and pre-cruise hotel for the Internet Marketers Cruise – we have just two allocated Money Gym cabins left now and the bookings close on the 14th October, so if you want to come to the Caribbean with the Money Gym and learn loads, have fun in the sun and make strategic contacts and partnerships you had better confirm your place this weekend.

Talking of internet marketers, I’ve been reading Joel Comm’s excellent book “Click Here To Order” which was one of my lovely birthday presents.  It’s the story of many of the bigger successful people online and it’s absolutely fascinating.  Oddly he doesn’t mentiion the World Internet Summit at all so there must be a story there!

One of the biggest learnings for me in the book was that, each of the really successful people traced their turning point back to one thing.  They all directed credited their success to one action.

So, there IS one magic key, one secret, a magic wand, just the one action you can take, that will guarantee your success, after all!

All those people, including me, that have said that there was no magic key to success and wealth appear to be mistaken!!

Isn’t that amazing?  And isn’t it amazing that I’m prepared to admit it?

Well, my concern for your success means that I just had to. Even if it was bit embarrassing for me to do so.

Now, what if I said to you that this one thing, this key, this secret was so SIMPLE, so AFFORDABLE and so ACCESSIBLE but that it required a bit of trust on your part, a bit of a leap of faith, a bit of becoming unattached to the outcome……..would you do it?

Well, it does.

Because while it’s definately just one thing, you might have to do it a few times, as it might not work the very first time.

And I can’t predict which time it will work for you, might work first time, might take a few goes around the block.

So are you up for it?

Wanna know what it is, that EVERY SINGLE successful entrepreneur and multi-million dollar marketer attributed to their success?

Really? OK, here we go. Ta-da!

Drumroll……………………………..

it’s…….Attending live events!

Now just sit for a moment and let that sink in. Re-read the paragraphs above perhaps.

Yep, it’s the one SINGLE thing that they ALL said helped them turn the corner, meet someone powerfully positioned to help them, enabled them to be in the right place at the right time, to hear just that one new idea that made the difference.

And I have some great news for you because the Money Gym has some GREAT live events coming up, starting with our Let’s Talk Money Day next weekend, in Central London.

http://www.themoneygym.com/letstalkmoney

(and you can get the link to see what else is coming up after my signature)

But you really should be coming to this one, as it’s a great day out, it’s affordable, and you get a one-to-one personal wealth coaching session outside the room, privately.

And who wouldn’t want that then?

That 20 minutes might just be the one thing you have been waiting for.

Or there might be someone in the room that would make a great business or strategic partner.

Or I might say just one thing that might make an amazing difference to your investment strategy.

Who knows?

The one thing I do know is, it can’t happen if you’re NOT THERE.

http://www.themoneygym.com/letstalkmoney

So go on.  Give up one Saturday and see what happens.

I look forward to meeting you!

Nicola

p.s. The other events are now listed on http://www.themoneygym.com/events – it’s a work in progress but most are up there for 2008/2009
