In short;
1. Discover your uniqueness and work it into an edge, the angle that makes you stand out from the crowd as we are marketing brand YOU.
2. Work out what intellectual property you have that may be polished and developed. Our Pink Sheet process is world class and the most effective way to develop innovative ideas and unpack them fast.
3. Explore 6 primary information delivery modes and ensure you know which ones suit you and which ones you need to develop for cash flow diversity.
4. Match what you know, with whom you know and who you need to know. It is marketing viewed through the specialists lens and not simply market opportunism.
5. Finally, an effective plan that helps you move beyond consultancy and into Thought Leadership.
Creating a successful app for the iPhone can be difficult: You need to find a good developer, you need to get through Apple's arbitrary approval process, there's a delay before it gets accepted into the iTunes Store, and there are further delays if you want to change it.
Fortunately, there's a far better option: Create your own mobile "mini-website", which works like an iPhone app, but without the limitations. Publish your content instantly, make it public or private, and change it whenever you like.
Best of all, you don't have to put up with Apple's complicated and stupid approval process.
On Wednesday 14th July I'm running a webinar to show you exactly how to do this. In fact, I'll build and publish an entire "app" during the webinar, just to show you how easy it is!

I've just finished my new book "Webinar Smarts", and I'm excited!
It's jam-packed with value (even if I do say so myself!) about how to plan, promote and conduct effective webinars. Webinars really are a must-know skill for speakers, trainers and other experts. Many NSAA members and other speakers are already using them to reach a wider market, create new income opportunities, add value to existing presentations, and dramatically improve their lifestyle.
I'm launching the book next month, and I've got a special offer for anybody who pre-orders it before 30th June. You get the e-book version immediately (so you can start using it right away), you get a complimentary ticket to a webinar about webinars I'm doing next month, and of course I'll send you the printed version as soon as it's ready.
Create your amazing 30-60 speech in 48 hours or less! From the moment you arrive at the Speech Building Program, you will be underway, putting together your 30-60 minute presentation.
Matt will talk you through and help you complete each of his advanced design templates and enhanced techniques for accelerating the design process and increasing the impact of your talk. You will be working on one specific presentation during the program.
Of course, what you learn can then be applied to other presentations at any time in the future. Matt’s experience as a public speaking master will help you to double, if not triple, the impact of your speech while halving the time it takes you to create one.
Matt Church is without a shadow of a doubt one of our country's most established, enduring and successful professional speakers. It is however his phenomenal ability to teach that sets him apart from any other communication educator.
For the last 10 years he has been presenting his magnificent Chemistry of Success program to audiences of all sizes and on nearly every continent on the planet. He is the creator of the global Thought Leaders movement and is the coach behind some of the greatest speakers this country has produced.

THE POWER OF PERSUASIVE FACILITATION is conducted by one of Australasia's most sought after trainers, Colin James.
In this program Colin will focus explicitly on the processes of learning and techniques to create discovery, insights, behavioural change and, thereby, effective learning.
Much of what an excellent facilitator does is largely below the level of awareness of participants. An excellent facilitator can make the complex appear simple, reduce stress effortlessly, manage learning styles and learning differences artfully, generate energy and enthusiasm subtly and create a learning environment of respect and focused attention.
