There's a glitch in the matrix...

This newsletter almost didn't make it out today. There was a glitch in LinkedIn & I thought I had lost the ability to communicate... It was horrifying ??

Turns out it was only a minor glitch, so you haven't got rid of me that easily!

Huge thanks to Beatrix for taking over in my absence... It's great not to be doing this alone.

But now I am back in the country & back in the game. Dad's estate is as finalised as it can be & the rest is over to legal people now. So it's time to get back to life in NZ.

I have had a very productive week with a Mastermind class in Melbourne & Australia to start off the week & then back to Auckland for conferences & podcast sessions.

The Mastermind group is for companies that want to self-implement EOS but would like some support & accountability from their peers & also professional EOS Implementers.

Melbourne is up to workshop 2 & we just did workshop 1 with Sydney. Next week we do the online workshop 1. If you're keen to join us, then take a look at the programme - but get in quick, we start on Monday at 10am NZST. We can even bill the fees over 3 months if you want it to be a little easier on the wallet.

INFORMATION ON THE EOS SELF-IMPLEMENTERS MASTERMIND GROUP

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here - where did that year go?

If you're feeling a bit stuck, then there's no better time to be looking at how you can break through the selling & start the New Year off well. In fact, I think it's perfect timing.

In the EOS Proven Process , it takes 3 full days to get to having a plan for the business & they're ideally spaced 30 days apart, so do your Focus Day in December, Vision Building Day 1 in February & Vision Building Day 2 in March & you're all set to go with a plan for the new financial year.

So why not do the EOS organisational checkup & if you feel you need a tune-up, then let's talk about getting started before we go away.

Even if you don't want to work with me, you will at least get a full report on all the things you can do to strengthen the 6 key components of your business.

And for those of you who just want to wind down, then check out the find of the week & listen to my podcast while you indulge ??

Happy Friday, everyone ??

BETTER BUSINESS:??It's time to set yourself apart from the competition.

Are you making the most out of your marketing strategy? Sometimes we have the best ideas, but we must approach them correctly or develop them enough to optimise and give us their full potential. A little background work on the strategy now could help harness your business to get the most out of the little things and stand out against your competitors.??

Having your customers understand what makes you different and unique is the first step in the 3-step plan – updating your promotional material to align with what your business stands for and delivering a consistent message. Not only should your printed material showcase your 'why', but your employees should be able to provide a genuine blurb about what sets you apart. After all, they are their salesperson for their work. Finally, create a platform that showcases what makes you an exceptional company to potential customers, then share it!??

BETTER LIFE:??6 weeks until 2023 and 6 tips to take the break!

How is it possible that Christmas is next month already?! We all know those days between Christmas and New Year that feel like a blissful Saturday - we don't know what time it is; the sun is shining, and we are not constantly worrying about work. Well, if you think you might skip those few days of relaxation this year, then think again. Studies have proven that sometimes a small break is all we need to affect our mental and physical health positively. Lowering blood pressure, getting more sleep and increasing productivity are just a few benefits.??

If you are still on the fence about taking a break this year, take a quick break and read through the benefits of why a holiday is essential for our health.?

FIND OF THE WEEK:??24 delicious doors?

Remember the excitement as a kid, each day in December, opening a new window and seeing what surprise hides behind the door? Well, say hello to the adult advent calendar!??

I have already ordered the wine calendar and am keeping a close eye on the letterbox for the moment it arrives. But if wine is not your choice, beer or whiskey would be a delicious treat too. I promise to try my best and stick to just one door a day.
