Entrepreneur

Todays guest gets asked the same question again and again and again.

Why is your company called Dancing Elephants?

So I will do my very best to not ask this question as I wouldnt want to get off on the wrong foot, with a lady who is an author, speaker and consultant for companies around the world on sales and marketing.

She knows what is needed to attract clients, that become loyal consumers of a companies products?

Nope don’t see the elephants connection yet?

But how has she achieved the kind of sales knowledge that is sought after across the globe, and how did she and her partner Will Turner, develop the “Six Secrets of Sales Magnets” and the soon to be available “Sales Magnetism: The

Ethical Salesperson’s Guide To Success” which brings a different perspective to the sales technique.

Well lets find out as I bring onto the show, to start Joining up the dots of her life, the one and only Laura Posey.

Todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots top rated business podcast is someone who likes to ask four key questions as he seeks to build the life of his dreams

How can I have more free time?

How can I make money doing what I love?

How can I travel the world pursuing my passions?

How can I run a real business from my laptop, anywhere in the world?

They seem very good question to ask yourself I would have thought, and perhaps another question is why do so many people not ask them very same questions themselves?

But the journey to budding entrepreneur, and smart and debonair businessman was not a usual one, as we normally find on Join Up Dots.

From developing a love of music and travelling from his Dad, our guest first stepped into young adulthood as a wannabe Jon Bon Jovi, travelling around Europe and the States playing his guitar in bars, and getting up to god knows what in Amsterdam.

But it was when he landed in Nashville, the home of country music, that the path to his unique and authentic self started becoming apparent.

Along with his business partner, our budding Bon Jovi decided that they had two choices: One sign for a record company, or two: build their own record company and retain control of their music, image rights and everything else that goes into making a band.

They took the bold choice, and so started a love of business that brings him onto the show today.

So lets introduce to you, and start joining up those dots, and of course find out what DID happen in Amsterdam, the one and only Mr Jesse Krieger.

Today's guest solopreneur is a man who has travelled a path most unusual.

Starting off by gaining his education in Pennsylvania he has now found himself living in Yokosuka in Japan.

Whilst working full-time for the US military he has focused his downtime on self development and the study of the small habits we have in our life, that when used effectively can build up to something amazing.

I didn't know this, but from reading his blog I have found out that one-third to one half of ALL our daily actions are habitual?

That’s right.

Everything in our lives, and I mean EVERYTHING are the result of these automatic habits.

So our guest believes that our level of wealth, social circles, happiness, love, energy, fitness, fulfilment are all created by the subconscious mind.

We don't realise that we are building our own futures be allowing these habits, some negative to go unchecked.

It is his mission to help educate 100,000 people to become liberated. To take control of these habitual behaviours and change them.

Well this is the kind of man that I need to talk to, so its with delight that I bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, the one and only Adam Smith.

And did I tell you he is now the owner of his own island "JinjaIsland" which he won in a competition too?

So is he the luckiest guy on earth, or just someone that by taking huge action has put himself into positions that others would miss out on?

Welcome back to a lady who first appeared on the show, way back on episode 32 of Join Up Dots.

She must be a glutton for punishment to come back on, but aren't I simply delighted that she has done just that.

Since her travelling adventures started over four years ago, she has covered the globe observing the characteristics of the people who live in each of the countries she has spent time in.

And its not a surprise to her that whether she was living in the United States, Germany or Thailand she found that we all want the same things.

We want to be Happy, feel peace, and have a freedom of suffering whether this be fear, negativity or frustration.

The only difference is how we go about getting to those results.

Being a naturally adventurous and positive person obviously helps enormously, but what about the listeners who don't embrace adventure and freedom of spirit in such a gungho way?

Can they also achieve these positive results, and take control of their own lives in the process?

Well our guest today believes so, and through her role as Peak Performance coach has made it her mission to help others find the path to excitement and fulfilment that makes a life well…….memorable to say the least.

So if you are wondering if there is more to life than you are getting at the moment, and don't know how to go about it, then let me introduce you once more to the salsa dancing, fun loving, creative spirit that is Miss Ginger Kern.
