Todays guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast is a lady who I have had the delight to spend time with as she interviewed me on her own podcast Pure Mind Magic recently. She has been fascinated by magic since early childhood, when she got her first magic box at the tender age of seven. At the age of 15, Europe's largest magic association, the Magic Circle, became aware of her and a few years later she had the honor to be included in this exclusive circle. In a male-dominated genre, our guest is still one of the few internationally recognized professional wizards, and one of the most recognized and sought after magicians worldwide. But that's not all. The trained hypnotist and specialist in mental magic also deals with finding out how our mind is built. How our thoughts take shape in reality, whether parts of the future can be predicted which is of course a mystery that remains as inexplicable as magic itself. As she says " We only use a small percentage of our mind. Ever wondered why some people seem to get along very easy while others always struggle even with simple thing? The secrets to this mystery is in our mind. We do have kind of a superpower with the abilities we possess. There are ways to train them like muscle turning you into the mind magician of your own life and create the reality you always wanted. So does these deep insights into the world work as well in the business world as the professional world of entertainment? And how does her business operate? How do clients come like magic into her life, instead of chasing month after month like most people in the world? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Victoria Mavis Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Victoria such as: Why the power of achievement is as much due to consistency as it is any god given talent. Victoria shares how the business side of things becomes so much easier, once you learn to fascinate your audience more than sell to them. We discuss how Quantum Physics can be used to astonishing effect day in day out simply by powering up the brain. and lastly…. We share how magic occurs everyday in life by being present and welcoming to the opportunities that come your way.

Through Join Up Dots i have had the opportunity to meet many people across the world, whether on skype, conferences or even in pubs. Most of them approach me as they have been a listener to the show, and after the normal preambles will generally hit with the same question every time. "So how do you earn from the show?" If they are really brave, or have consumed more pinot grigio than they should. they will follow this up with the question "How much do you earn from the show?" Good questions both of them, as a podcast in itself isn't a money maker, it's one hundred percent lead generation. People listen, people decide that I am trustworthy and then they connect with me and buy my products. Now I could hit them with the answer of £xyz, giving them the figure down to the finest details but more often than not I dont. Instead I answer "As much as I Want to earn", which I can see in their eyes is not the kind of response that they are hoping for but it's true. Once you start creating momentum online you can literally earn what you want as long you provide the value that people want. Value equals income, and the more people who want that value then the better you will do. Totally different to working in a corporate environment, when you are not the person responsible for deciding how much that value is worth? We all remember going to the job interviews and being offered a position for £30,000 a year, and skipping back home like we had just won the lottery. Roll forward a year, and we beomoan this miserly reward for our efforts as we have now decided how much value we are actually bringing to the company and it's a lot more than £30,000. In 2019 my aim for the show is to earn £500,000 for the year which means that I have to earn £41,666 per month. Is this a big ask? Well yes in one regard, which is why I have spent the last five years working on the show to build the momentum. However in the other regard, its quite simple. I just need to find what people need more and more, and then find a way of providing that so they buy from me. Value +Scale = Income. So the next time you are working at your job, or walking around thinking "I really want that car, how can i get it?" Dont just think of loans, or potential bonuses. Instead start considering how you can bring value to someone and then multiply this value. Thanks for reading and hope to see you again soon David

Happy New to everyone who listens to the show, so how has it been already? Are you focused on the amazing opportunities and income busting ideas flowing around your head? Or are you instead hugging your pillow whilst thinking of that last pint and half of tequila that you consumed the night before? Well wherever you are today you will never have a better time to start taking the bull by the horns and making a difference in your life. It's new year resolution time, when you decide that you are going to run a marathon, stop drinking and take control of your life. You know the kind of stuff that starts with a bang and ends up with a whimper. You start with the best of intentions, keep going for a few weeks and then stop as you don't have the desire to keep it going. I think the better way of doing things, is start doing small things in October when you aren't trying to do them because of the calendar and see if you can keep them going. If you don't keep them going then it doesn't seem as much as failure. It was just something that you tried and it didn't work very well. Seems sensible to me for sure. So in Join Up Dots land for 2019, my focus is three fold: Make more money, enjoy myself more, and get a bit healthier. Im not setting out to recreate the wheel, just focusing in on a few things here and there that can make a big difference to my life. Develop the coaching side of the business at Join Up Dots first and foremost which you can check out here as this is now the big part of what we do at Join Up Dots. Bringing in over 15 years of experience in just 30 days we show you how to build a business that works online - BigTime. Thats it in a nutshell. Just three stages to the next phase of my life and of the Join Up Dots empire all being tackled in a measured and confident manner. Let us know what is happening in your life and we look forward to being with you hand in hand as you march your way to success. Happy New Year!!!!!!

Welcome to todays episode of Join UP Dots, where in the show we continue on with the Mini Course – How To Start Your Own Business – Part Four As you will have seen and heard in the previous episodes, to start your own online business you really need to understand yourself and your desires. No matter how much you think that the reason for starting a business is the money it never is. People want their own business for so many different reasons: Control, time freedom, health reasons the list goes on and on and on, and rarely is the real truth money. What also is the truth is most people fail in business as they choose a subject that they just aren't very good at. They dont have the skills to make it a success. Which is why on Part Three of the Join Up Dots Course, we dig even deeper and get everyone of our students to look at their skills, talents and personal beliefs by taking a series of online tests. So if you are now at this stage, then you should not only know what business you would like to work in, but also be aware what is the right business for you. You know your strengths. Now lets go back into the research stage and start looking at those business again, and this time start reviewing the monetization options. Lets see what other people are doing and start making a list of the things that make money that we can do too. You will be surprised at some of the things that people are making money from. Certainly even after 15 years of online success I still am blown away by the kind of things that people do every day. These could be ebooks, courses, coaching as I always say the list goes on and on. Be creative and make sure that you leave no stone unturned. For more information regarding drilling down deep to see where the money is then of course listen to the show above as we build on this subject and future episodes. Thanks for listening and we hope to see you again soon.

Todays episode is a very short episode where David Ralph shares his Xmas greetings for 2018. So where do you stand on this time of the year? Do you think "Man, i achieved so much in the last twelve months!" or perhaps "God, another year done. Wheres' it all gone?" That is the problem that we face every single day and especially in the entrepreneurial world that we live in. We rarely savour the moment, we always think about the highs and lows, the achievements and failures. However, if we are truly honest with ourselves and reflect on the present then these thing's dont make any difference at all. They only lead us to a higher level of anxiety or depression as we keep on trying to achieve more and more. Which is not good and can cause us not only financial issues but also health ones too. In todays episode of Join Up Dots we not only say happy Christmas to you all, but we also say today of all days is about the now. Savour the now, savour your family and savour the gift that the world is giving you and everything else can wait until tomorrow. Happy Christmas everybody.

Today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast is quite simply one of the most inspiring people I know. Through the Join Up Dots world i am surrounded by people who by and large say that they want to do something and then don't. This could be experienced business owners, newbies or quite simply dreamers who talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. Today's guest is anything but a dreamer, and throughout the last few years has shot to the top by taking bold action. For example, when starting his podcast twelveminuteconvos instead of going the normal two shows a week route, he didn't then raise the game to a daily show like the real movers and shakers. No, he went big and attempted the break the world record by recording 1001 shows in just 90 days. Then in 2017 he went even bigger and recorded 813 podcasts in just 12 weeks. When I last connected with him, he was on a mission across America and Canada driving through 48 states interviewing 1001 past podcast guests, exploring the power of a conversation as a Caribbean podcaster. As he says "I thought I had it figured out. It would be simple. In 12 days I would raise US$48,000. Think about it here with me. I interviewed 1987 guests on my podcast. If each podcast guest donated US$24 we would raise US$47,688 which would cover the RV rental, gas, food, tolls, rv parks, recording equipment etc. This would have been most ideal for the crew. The planned crew for this mission would have been my wife, Amanda, our two sons respectively and one of our friends from Virginia, Ryan Dean. We raised US$3,947.50 in 12 days, 8% of the initial goal. Great time to GIVE UP !!!! !!!! !!!! However you will find in today's show that this is a guy who when it comes to a dream, just like Rick Astley Is "Never Gonna Give You Up" He digs in deep and finds a way through to the life he wants. So has he always been such a high goal setter, or does he do it now because once up on a time he was anything but. And what has been the biggest learning curve throughout the last three years? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Engel Jones Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Engel Jones such as: Why the inputs in your life really help you to to gain the great outputs. There is a ying and yang thing going on behind all actions. Engel shares why so many people have a life where the bare necessities is all that is required but struggle to go after more and more. We discuss how the difficulty of the tasks performed are always more mental than practical. Get you head in the game to achieve greatness. and lastly…. Why in life the true success comes your way by being you and 100% you, That is what the world is waiting for and is your job to deliver.

In todays episode of Join Up Dots we are joined by the founder of OnlineDegree.com, a for-profit company that allows people to take courses and earn degrees from hundreds of participating universities, all for free. After he graduated from college with an overwhelming amount of debt, and after hearing his wife lament that there were very few resources for mothers that were trying to go back to school he had an idea. He started OnlineDegree.com in order to change the way that the world went to school. As you might expect, he can now offer a deep look into the American student debt crisis and why it has become everybody's problem, as well as offer his perspective on running a business that keeps the lights on while adhering to his values. As he says "We're Making Higher Education More Accessible & Affordable For Everyone. At OnlineDegree.com, anyone can take online courses at their own pace and within the confines of their existing busy schedule...completely, free. After completing courses, students can then receive college credits at participating universities across the country, saving both time and money. We want to help the millions of people seeking a college education who've been unable to take the first step. University and college education can still be too expensive and unapproachable for the majority of Americans. Normal distractions of work, bills, and home life, often prevent someone from getting started with education or being able to dedicate time and money to a traditional 4-year degree program. We're going to change that. By removing barriers and focusing on world-class education, we're enabling everyone to take the first step with full-time education. So are there common issues that everyone stumbles into as the debt increases around them. And why with the ease of entry into online world, do so many people feel that they have no other option around Well lets find out as we start joining up dots with the one and only Mr.Grant Aldrich Show Highlights During the show we discussed such wide ranging subjects such as: Grant reveals why we should have the core of our inner morals and strategies in tact and remain so moving forward no matter what happens. We discuss the reasons why Grant's first steps into the entrepreneurial world were all about freedom, but actually he became a slave for the task. How Grant had the epiphany of finally doing something that he really loved everyday in his life, which was going to be bigger than himself. Why living a truly frugal lifestyle is often the fastest way to achieve the lifestyle you truly want. and Grant discusses the model that he has chosen to allow students from across the world to gain free education.

Welcome to todays episode of Join UP Dots, where in the show we continue on with the Mini Course - How To Start Your Own Business - Part Three This has been in response to the amount of people that have connected with the show with the same frustrations. "David I would love to start my own business, but I simply haven't got a clue what I want to do!" Which isn't a surprise, as when do we really ever stop to think about what we do really well and how to make a business from those things? We don't, we simply go through the education system and get used to being told what we are good at, and more often than not what we aren't very good at. We have to remember that this is just one persons opinion, and in history it has been proved wrong time and time again. From sportsmen, to dancers, to artists to musicians, people have been told that they shouldn't go into an environment when actually the world was waiting for them to do just that. So how do we do this? How do we start changing our lives and finding the thing that will light us up inside more than anything? Well, following on from Part One and Part Two, as you will hear in today's episode we have to do our research to delve deep into ourselves and ask the big questions. We refer you to an amazing resource called Strength Finders 2.0 which really helps you find the things that you are best at, and turn them into super strengths. The more you can do in your life what you are best at, then the greater the value you can provide, leading to huge income coming your way. Its a bit more than that, and does take work, but it will certainly head you in the right direction for sure. So focus in on what you do well, and then return to episode four of our mini series which shows how to find the money in those talents Things are starting to get sexy!!!
