This week I’m back in America.  You just can’t tie a gypsy down however hard you try!

In the past week, I’ve been participating on a weekend workshop in San Francisco and then this weekend I have another workshop lined up in New York.  And in-between workshops I’ve been playing on my brand new toy… my ipad.

Actually, it’s not just a toy.  I  say this because it was only after overwhelming proof from Greg’s brother, Michael, that Greg decided to buy me one – lucky me and it wasn’t even my birthday!  I managed to road-test it on the flight to San Francisco and I’m pleased to say, It passed the test.  For all you geeks out there, I totally recommend getting the upgrade and getting the 3G version – the extra bucks are worth it.

This week has been a flurry of activity as I’ve spent most of it with my MDM people here in Sydney.

At the weekend we had the Annie Stoker event which totally rocked! This woman is a magician at shifting mindset, believe me.

And then this week, still on Bondi. we had the Million Dollar Masterclass Acceleration Session. See all the crazy pics from our Mexican Fiesta night…

All the MDM groups have been amazing and this one is no exception, in fact it’s more special than most because it’s the last time we are running the MDM programme. That’s because Greg and I want to focus on our family and a mentor group needs love and nurturing – as do children. So that’s why we’ve spent so long systematizing everything so we can still offer the same content but with less of me. That’s cos I’ll be spending time being a mummy! Although not just yet…

For those of you in the UK I hope you had a great Bank Holiday weekend and you made time to do lots of nice, relaxing things!  Remember, running a lifestyle business is just as much about the time off as it is the time spent working.

This weekend has all been about books for me.  I’ve been working on the marketing proposal for my new book, The Lifestyle Shift.  Who knew proposals could be so darn difficult?!  It’s harder than writing the book itself!

As a break away from the page, Greg and I have found ourselves gravitating towards the beautiful harbour here in Antibes.  It’s like stepping into a different world. You would not believe the size of some of the yachts!  They’re like mini-Titanics!  Still, it’s a lovely place to daydream and soak in the energy of abundance. 

Abundance comes in many forms.  Before I go, let me tell you about an extra special webinar I’m running on the 9th of June.  From conversations with many of you, I know you’re interested in running your own lifestyle business – a business you can run from the South of France, the mountains of Spain or even the foothills of the Himalayas.  It’s all about webinars!  Hop on this free webinar on the 9th June and I’ll share all their life-enhancing benefits with you!  Big Money from the Small Screen

I read a report in the paper the other day that the British are guaranteed a long, hot Summer.  Get the barbeques ready and the sunglasses out.  Who needs to fly abroad anyway?  This way you get to beat the ash.  So, what holiday plans have you got for this summer (or winter if you’re in Oz)?  Please do share the exciting ones with us – it always gives me ideas for my next vacation!

In a few days, Greg and I are flying out to Antibes in the South of France.  It’s not technically a holiday because we’ll still be working out there but it still gives us a chance to dine out on all that yummy French food.  Isn’t French food just the best?  I just love the way the French practically build their whole day around their meals.  I like that they place this at the centre of their existence.  It says something about how healthy they are – rather than placing their lives around their workload.

Holidays aren’t just an annual event are they?  In our business we permanently aim for the relaxed edge that holidays give us.  What you get out of holidays – the time to unwind and relax and get the work/life balance into perspective – we try to strive for everyday.  How can you bring the holiday into your work-life?  It’s actually more productive than you think….

Think about it this week as you soak in the sun in your lunch-break.

Hi!

Well, we’re back?!  Three weeks away feels like it was a lifetime.  As you probably know by now the last three weeks we’ve been cruising across the Atlantic and partaking of all things holiday-ish with our good friends Andrew and Daryl Grant, Paul and Mary Blackburn and numerous members of both the Shift Speaker Training Silver Program and the Million Dollar Masterclass.

It’s remarkable how such an extended time away from the office, with consistently new experiences, changes one’s perspective on life and business.  I won’t reveal all the details here, but suffice to say Greg and I have some big plans for this year.  This will mean loads of extraordinary opportunities for you.  The first of these will be this Thursday on my postponed “ABCs of Increasing Your Income from Speaking Webinar”.

I know that some of you waited on the line for me, and I didn’t arrive last Thursday.  SORRY!  You see my plane out of New York was cancelled, so we had to wait for HOURS in Washington, which meant I was mid-air while you were hanging around in the gotowebinar waiting room!  So, because I wasted your time, I am going to give you a gift unlike you have ever seen on this Thusdays webinar. The webinar is free to register, so if you’re not yet registered- make sure you’re on this week.

Check out some of the happy snaps from the cruise. Obviously there’s heaps of them, so I won’t overwhelm you.  You can check out my Facebook page for more.  But here’s a sample to get you started.

Love,

Jo
