GET RICH & LIVE FREE WITH JOIN UP DOTS

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is a lady who I got introduced to by the wonderful Neen James that you would have heard back on episode 258 of Join Up Dots She said David..."you have to get this hot chick on your show...she is amazing!" Well I'm not going to turn down an introduction like that, and I can see why she feels that she is so amazing when you read in her own words. "Who am I? I am busy, just like you. I want to live long and live STRONG, and I don't want to obsess about it. I don't want to rely on the expiring resource that is willpower, I want a lifestyle that works. I want my red wine, my dark chocolate, and I still want to bounce a quarter off my abs. I don't want to "look good for my age," I want to get BETTER every day, every year. I want to track my progress and help you with yours. I am not a fitness professional, nor a health practitioner. I am a full-time business owner, a part-time triathlete, a woman with a family and a lot of responsibility, just like you. I do not have all of the answers, AND I WILL NEVER BE FINISHED, and that is the fun." But this isn't a story about a lady who loves springing around, and balancing upside down on her head on surfboards (yep, im sure we will discuss this image later), but one of a hardworking business lady who has constantly upskilled herself and developed since starting her working life like me as a corporate trainer. Funnily enough our lives also intertwined as she also worked as a consultant for a UK-based firm supporting the Royal Bank of Scotland/Natwest's customer growth objectives, to whom I worked for both companies in my past too. She is the co-founder of The Trivista Group, where she supports multi-national organizations in building value through new business model development, innovative customer and supplier initiatives, and other advancements, whilst also spending as much time as she can in the outdoors training for Marathons and Ironman competitions As well as being the host of the wellness based podcast and platform On Air With Ella you can see that she is right and she is super busy. So does she have a way of finding more time in the day than anyone else? And does she see her current path as exactly where she should be, or is it still part of the longer journey of life? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Elizabeth Lucas-Averett

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is a beautiful lady who wants the world to realise that we need to break the good girl rules, and to become authentic to ourselves. In short stop playing the roles that people expect you to play, and instead be who you are and what you were put on this world to be. Back in 1982, she entered and the Miss USA competition by doing just that. At the end of the competition she was asked by the host Bob Barker ""So what do you do in Cabot, Arkansas, on a Saturday night?" And instead of getting the answer "I spend time looking after injured animals, and teaching the homeless algebra" she answered with ""In the summer, we cruise up and down Main Street. Then we go to the Tastee Freeze, sit on the back of my friend's pickup truck, he plays the banjo, and the guys drink a little beer and dip a little Skoal. It's a real good time." And guess what arise 1982's Miss USA She is the author of several books, including "The Enlightened Mom: A mother's guide for bringing peace, love and light to your family's life," WINNER ~ 2011 Best Spiritual Book of the Year at both New York and San Francisco Book Festivals, and has the mission is to help you let go of society's rules that tell you how to ACHIEVE love, happiness and success, and, instead, honor and love the way you were created. So does she remember planning her answer to Mr Bob Barker before hand, or was it something that she just had on the tip of her tongue and blurted it out? And obviously with the glamour that comes with winning a prestigious competition such as Miss USA, did she enjoy the trappings and the aforementioned glamour, or was it simply living a dreamlife that she was pleased to leave behind. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Terri Britt.

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is a man with huge faith in his religion and also himself. He is an a family man, with pure hustle muscle running through him, and a desire to take on many different roles in his life. Growing up in Texas, he has, since being a small boy, been a paper boy, a grocery bagger, delivery driver, cable TV disconnect-er to name just a few of the roles he has undertaken, but through all of them you can see a thread that connects them all. At his core it seems to me that he has an interest in people and serving others. It is that ability to connect with people, of all demographics that has lead to him to the life that he is living today. And that is where I get a bit stuck, as I cant quite see where he is today. He is an author of both fiction and non-fiction, he is a podcaster, he is a pastor, and he is an entrepreneur. Well lets just say that he is very busy man, with a drive to never have anyone say at his funeral "He had such potential…" So the key questions that I feel are only right to ask him are: What would he describe himself if he was met by a pretty lady in a bar (its ok his wife Mindi, won't hear this bit!) And does he see the rocket power that we need to go for the life of dreams, as enthusiasm, talent or just an idea? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Carey Green.

I love doing this job, as you get to speak to people like todays guests. And for so many people who are out there looking for the straight road to success this is a guest who has firmly been on the winding curve, some might say the squiggly route to success for decades. Starting her career way back in 1980 our guest was firmly on the path linked to Health and Safety in the workplace, or school. She trained and presented courses on a wide range of safety issues and it seemed this was her thing for several years. But it was when she stepped into the world of sales and marketing that she really started to find a path where the light of success began turning in her direction. And it seems obvious now you see what she is doing in her life, and loving what she was doing too. As she says "My heart and passion is marketing and sales". She is an entrepreneur, trainer and author of PayDay2Profits which is a guide for converting contacts to cash from corporations to individuals,. Managing your network for maximum impact on your bank balance But dig deeper and you can see that the only reason that she has become so successful is as much to do with the things that she no longer does, than the things that she loves. She needed to go through the curves, to find the foundations that made her ready to go up a gear. So how much of what she does now in her life can she see connecting to her younger self? And does she feel that she was only going to be a success in one field, or does confidence breed a belief that success can be transferred wherever you want to go? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots with the one and only Mary Vidarte.

Todays guest is an English author, who believes totally that "Small Habit Changes Lead To Massive Results Over Time." But he didn't start his career by putting pen to paper, and delivering book after book to the shelves of Amazon and other popular book shops. No instead he spent many years studying Chinese martial arts, was a professional firefighter, entrepreneur, and a UK based Certified Personal Trainer and Sports & Exercise Nutrition Coach, gaining this nutritional qualifications from the esteemed Precision Nutrition. But you might think that means that he is a self development nut, looking for the ultimate version of himself. But no think again. Because as we see time and time again, that when someone focuses in on improving themselves it will more often that not lead to them looking to share their knowledge with the world. And he is no different, as he has found a passion and a commitment for educating people on the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. He gets huge amounts of joy and satisfaction from educating people on the benefits of living a healthy, vibrant, meaningful, and playful life. So did he always want to be the finest physical specimen that he could make himself? And what is the biggest mistake that people make in trying to get their own momentum going. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Stephen Reed

Well it's not often that you read on a persons LinkedIn profile such bit of essential business building information such as "I'm interested in muscle cars, classic rock (Pink Floyd, The Eagles), vinyl records, the ocean, sunshine, Apple products and concerts. I’m known as ♫ The LinkedIn Rockstar ♫, but I don’t work for LinkedIn." And that, as we see time and time again on Join Up Dots is the profile of someone that is having fun, being authentic and rocking it bigtime. Starting his career as an IT professional in Phoenix Arizona is seems to me that he was either a man on a mission or someone who got bored with roles quite easily. As he moved every few years from one position to another, seemingly looking for his thing, but of course gaining experience as he went. But it was when he moved into the career of Event planning and Networking that it all came together. He had found his thing, and now with his own radio show, a passion for Key Note speaking and motivational presentations and of course sharing LinkedIn best practices he is loving everyday. He is being true to himself, playing to his strengths and earning a living whilst doing it! So what was it about LinkedIn that really got him excited enough to build a whole business around it? And why does he feel that we all seem to go through the same search at the beginnings of our careers? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Mike O'Neil, the LinkedIn Rockstar.

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is an amazing lady with such a huge heart, and the drive to tackle the kind of challenges that would make me quite simply climb back into bed. Shortly she is going to start rowing herself around the British Isles on the Great British Viking Quest, which is a 3000 mile, single-handed circumnavigation of Great Britain in a purpose built ocean rowing boat, retracing the oar strokes of Viking seafarers, warriors, and conquerors. The expedition brings ocean literacy, environmental, and STEM (Science, Technology, engineering, and Maths) education alive for students worldwide in the 21st century. Funds raised will provide education to disadvantaged young people worldwide, helping every child 'go for gold' and to be successful in whatever they do in life. As she says "I'm passionate about the world, scuba diving, human beings, and the experiences that life brings us. I love my job, and I feel very privileged to do what I am doing. So how has a lady that spent two years walking peoples dogs around the English Countryside, ended up following in the watery path of the United Kingdoms Norwegian invaders? And does she feel that is just the start to more and more increasingly challenges that she can see on the horizon? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the inspirational Sarah Weldon

Todays guest is one of those that I feel we will need to have on the show more than once. The first time, in true Join Up Dots fashion we need to delve deeply into what makes the man tick and discover how he went from being an employee to the creator of several very successful online businesses. Starting his working life in Construction, and then moving into architecture it seems to me that at his core is a man who loves building stuff. I can imagine him now as a small child with a box of Lego, or pens and paper, laying on the floor as he planned some new invention or creature out of his imagination. So after leaving the "corporate world" in 2009, he started Gateway CFO Solutions primarily working as an outsourced CFO for small businesses, leveraging the networks he had built online and off. As he says "By 2011, some of my clients started noticing the things I was doing on LinkedIn to grow my business and asked me if I could help them do the same. One of them hired me to do it for them, and that's when LinkedSelling was born. Since then, our company has seen exponential growth and we've started LinkedUniversity.com, Webinarli, and Onward Magazine." So as I say, Im sure there are so many of you that are thinking "ok , how can I do the same...and I'll be honest I had the very same thought" So without further ado, lets bring onto the show, to start joining up dots with the one and only, Mr Josh Turner.

Todays guest is a man who when it comes to starting a business, and taking it to huge success is really in the zone. He knows that when there is a risk to take, to give himself a chance of achieving his dreams, he will find that risky thing and tackle it head on. As he says in his own words "One of the things that has been huge in my life is "starting over," or "moving to the next stage." For me it's always been much more drastic than most people (moving to a new country, starting a new company with no contacts, etc) -- but it help to always keep in mind the following: "What a caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly" And with that simple philosophy, he has from his base in Japan become the Founder and CEO of Delfi-Net and Summit Evergreen and created the consultancy business with an appealing tagline "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" So what is it about the start over principal that fills him with delight, when it fills so many with fear? And does he have a track record of complete success, or like all of us, did it take him awhile to get going and find his thing? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Keith Perhac.

Todays guest is the go to expert if you have a desire to place your words onto paper and become a published author He is an author, journalist and publisher, and his book 'Turning your knowledge into income' shares his philosophy that we all spend a lifetime making payments into our 'bank of knowledge' but end up with a dormant account because we don't make a withdrawal. He believes that, right now, there is somebody, somewhere that would pay good money to know what you know. All you need to do is to package up your knowledge in a form that they can buy it. For people who want to raise their profile in their marketplace or who want to position themselves as an expert in their field, there is nothing like a properly published book to do that. Fifteen years founded Filament Publishing Ltd fifteen years ago with the mission to help authors, not just to write and publish their book, but also to build a successful business around it. But there is so much more to this man than what you heard so far, so without further ado its with great delight that we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Christopher Day.
