How lovely to have spent the last few weeks in country towns within 3 hours drive from home, when so many of our newsletters have featured pictures of our trips to capital cities! We've had fabulous conversations in Wellington, Forbes, Grenfell, West Wyalong and Parkes - and Dubbo of course!
As you’ll see, the video below was taken at the Grenfell Golf Course, and the photos from the Bottle House and Fairy Gardens near Dubbo.
If you saw last weeks newsletter you will know that we’re planning some very exciting things. We are interviewing some regional entrepreneurs who really shine and make a difference in their communities. We’re collating their success stories because they have gold within that we can uncover and learn from. We’ve been enjoying time with people who have changed the economy of their town, and the culture of their town in a positive way. Worth celebrating and sharing!

So if you know some really successful regional entrepreneurs, please let us know as we would love to connect with them
Cheering you on,
Lyndon and Kerrie

Todays Success Tip comes from Kerrie Phipps
Kerrie coaches passionate entrepreneurs in regional and isolated areas to find the clarity and confidence to live their unique purpose.
Every business is unique, and you’ll serve your customers and staff well by focusing on what’s unique and communicating it – with enthusiasm.
How would you like your business to be referred to in conversation? For example, “they’re so prompt!” or “They’re so much fun” or “I feel like royalty when I go there”. When you are clear on this, it’s so much easier to plan ways of increasing happiness in the business.
How would you describe your business in it’s ideal state? Before we move on - are you clear or will you take some time to answer this?
If the message you want your customers to get is “fun”, consider how you communicate this – of course it must start with you. You can’t demand fun of anyone – just let it be infectious! Let’s look at some of the basics, which can too easily go by the wayside when you’re busy.
Be conscious of your thinking and your conversations - Listen intently to people. If you consider the people in your world to be intelligent, unique and valuable, you’ll communicate with them in a way that reflects that. Look for the potential in people. Try it. Just start thinking about someone with conscious thoughts like “You are amazing”, and view them through the eyes of appreciation and see what else you notice. As I wrote in our last newsletter - If you want to grow something - pay attention to it.
- Choose to be the most positive person you know.
- Share a laugh - learn to laugh at yourself, and when you come across something really funny - share the joy!
- Say please, Thank you, you’re welcome.
The above tips are all internal, it’s about your thoughts and words - following are a few practical steps to keep the momentum.
