Todays guest is Ani Alexander, someone that I am proud to say has become one of my closest friends in the world. I have never met her, don't know too much about her personal life, but can honestly say she has become one of the people that has helped me so much as Join Up Dots keeps on growing. She has a fascinating story, which starts by being born in a country that now is no longer there, the soviet union, and as teenager loved to write. And these have all lead her to be the host of two podcasts "Ani Alexander's Brand Architect" and "Write 2B Read" In her heart she believes that everyone has a story to tell, and would like nothing more than putting pen to paper and getting creative as a child. But as we see time and time again, the thing that we liked as kids somehow got forgotten as we grow into adulthood. And instead of thinking "Lets make a career out of something that I love doing"...which of course is the sensible thing to do, she instead went into the corporate world. And joined the masses. Yes, for the next twelve years she followed a path that left her with a paycheck every month, but nothing more. She was lost and definitely feeling uninspired. So she took the leap of faith and went for it on her own And now with her business flourishing, her network of aspiring authors flocking to help her get them in the bestsellers list, life is getting better everyday. She is also the author of three books "Emotional Moments", "Dream Down" and "Highfall" But if this sounds like an easy transition then think again. I know her well, and I know the hustle and work ethic that it is taking to get to the point she wants to be. She is climbing up the ladder of success everyday, one rung at a time even when exhausted, even when she was unsure she could climb any higher? So how does she keep herself going when sometimes the world seems against her? And why did she feel along with everything else on her plate, she would go and conquer the world by recording the Write 2 b Read podcasts in English, not her natural tonque Well lets find out as we bring on to the show to start joining up dots the one and only Ani Alexander To find out more about Ani Alexander go to: Podcast: Ani Alexander's Brand Achitect podcast Description: If you are an author, coach, speaker, online entrepreneur or podcaster who wants to stand out and get noticed with your brand as wel as grow your online audience, then you're at the right place.

Todays guest for the milestone 200th episode is the only man that I wanted for the job......in fact I held back from recording this show so he could appear. And why did I feel that way? Well after 199 episodes of Join Up Dots, hopefully you will feel like I do that they are motivational, inspiring, challenging and the kind of content that makes you believe that everything is possible. But if this is the first show that you have listened to then...believe me, just hearing about this guys story will leave you feeling exactly the same way. When he was a young man at ages 13 and 16 he received news that would knock most people off their feet. He had cancer and not just one type but two completely different types, which left him listening to his last rights and waiting to die. He was given only fourteen days grace, but instead of passing on as expected he astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases and also a medically-induced coma for a year. This courage to beat the odds and take on a challenge that many deemed as impossible left him with the realisation that no challenge would ever be too great or any peak too high. He proved this theory when he crested the peak of the highest point in the world (Mount Everest) with only partial use of his lungs. As the first cancer survivor to do so, he then decided to continue climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America. But this isn't a story about a man with super human strength or support, this is a story of total belief in himself and what he can achieve. Inspiring us all to dream bigger and go for the impossible. He is voted one of the top eight most inspirational people of all time, so it with great delight to bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Sean Swarner Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom

Todays guest is a man who has a harrowing story, but it is a story that you think "Man that is terrible, but wow he has turned this into a positive. Bigtime" And as we see time and time again on Join Up Dots, our guest will find their path in life due to a situation that you wouldn't wish on anyone. But they move from the dark place into the light by perseverance, love, understanding and curiosity. Back in 1989, he has a phone call that changed his life. He had been advised that his sister had been raped. What could he do to help? What could he do to support his sister? Well for two years, he struggled to deal with the rape and the effect it had on his life – both as the brother of a rape victim and as a male. He transferred colleges – so he could be close to home and his sister during the trial. And once back home with his family, he saw the pain, rage and sadness his parents, relatives, and family friends were also going through. The sexual assault of his sister had changed many people's lives. And it was with this dawning realisation that an assault like this was as much based on lack of understanding of what is the correct way to conduct yourself with someone else, as it was a crime. It was the worlds lack of understanding, of the other personal right of personal standards that was the problem. Could he change the mind-set of youngster, adults and anyone with a sexual urge to realise that there was a way of interacting with each other that wasn't happening. And over ten years, he worked, talked, discussed, reviewed and developed the "Can I Kiss You" platform, where he uses humour to break down the barriers of this taboo subject. And now he travels the world bringing his message to the world. As he says ""I do feel the work is a calling. The traveling does not get tiring because I know I'm going somewhere to get the opportunity to open minds and inspire a new way of thinking. I get the wonderful honor and opportunity to plant the seed for them to take care of and nourish." He is an author, speaker, father of four and husband to his beloved wife, and now here ready to join up his dots, so its with great pleasure that I bring onto the show the one and only Mike Domitriz Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom

Todays guest is the queen of Ka-ching!, a lady who literally knows how to change the mindset of all of us to become profit attracting experts Her motto is "You can't grow your business without growing yourself." She advises business owners on how to translate their technical expertise into sustainable growth profits. But it's not just about businesses, as she is also the go to resource for solopreneurs too. Those guys and ladies looking to build a lifestyle built around their income production. And is that experience to relate to all walks of life that has changed her life completely, since taking the Leap of faith and going alone. She is an author and advisor on the topic of attracting high-paying clients and growing your business revenues with integrity. Along with her book - Wealthy U- Seven Sacred Wealth & Wisdom Lessons - her sales and marketing tools have been used for 20 years to dramatically improve the lives of everyone she speaks to. But the interesting thing about her, is although she can teach us all how to increase the wealth coming our way, she also had those same self-limiting thoughts that we all have. Money should be hard to earn. Rich people are greedy. And to get rich you have to get dirty, and do things that aren't congruent with our own morals. She had to battle through and realise in her heart of hearts that this wasn't true. So how did she change these negative ideas that were so deeply rooted within her? And how did she take the talents that she was demonstrating daily in her corporate life and bring it all together to form her own her company? Well let's find out, as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Marilyn August.

Todays guest is a man whose path to greatness started slowly. As a child he didn't really set the world alight whilst attending McKinley High School, a trade school in Buffalo. He failed many of his classes, as well as not managing to make the grade at football, basketball or track & field teams either. It was as if no matter what he tried to succeed at he just couldn't get it going. But like so many people in life, who struggle to find their path, it wasn't until he transferred to a different location, in this case Bennett High School that he found that he was trying to achieve in areas that weren't naturally him. It was there where he found his passion for public speaking, and used his silver tongue to wow his peer group, becoming Senior Class President. And now he started to get going. He had found something that he could do better than most. But its ok, to have a silver tongue, but how can you take this talent and use it for maximum effect? Well, he realised that he would use it to help inspire individuals and organisations find their brilliance. He would help the world tap into the talents that they were given at birth, and start shining brighter than they have ever done before. And he has done that very thing better than most. He is quoted as one of the best keynote speakers ever heard or used, putting him in the same category as Bill Gates, General Colin Powell and Tony Robbins. And as an author of seven books, helping the world discover their thing, he is a man on a mission. But there is so much more to him than just having a brain and tongue that inspires those that he comes into contact with. Which is what we will fnd out today. So what was it about the first school that just didn't fit with him? And why does he feel that people are unaware of just how brilliant that they can be not just in America but really everywhere across the globe? Well lets find out, as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only, Mr Simon T Bailey Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom

Todays guest is a lady who is talking my language when it comes to staff development. If you have listened to a few of the shows, you will have heard me wax lyrical as to why companies focus in on the things that employees can't do, and pretty much ignore the things they can. It seems lunacy to me that strengths are not developed to the highest level possible. But for some reason they are not. Well, our guest found that same belief when she was in her first manager role, and whilst sitting in her office got a phone call from a colleague. Her colleague was extremely upset as she had just received her annual performance review and felt beat up and worthless. She shared that she had been barely recognized for the things she was good at, and marked down for things that just weren't in her nature. And with these words, our guests life was changed forever "Why can't they just accept me for who I am? I'm 35 years old, I'm not going to change." An so with those words ringing in her ear, she set off to change the lives of employees across America. She is a speaker, coach, author and founder of Shoop Training & Consulting so certainly has a lot on her plate at the moment. But what was it about this one employee that really hit home, more than any of the others that she had managed during her corporate life? And how can people find their key strengths in life, and then most importantly convince their management to let them flourish in these areas? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Emilie Shoop.

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the Join Up Dots free business interview, is a man who from the very early stages in his life had the hustle muscle working overtime. At the age of nine he would sneak comics into school to sell them to his classmates, who couldn't get enough of the latest adventures of their favourite characters, so would cough up their hard earned pocket money for the privilege. And I suppose it wasn't a surprise that he could see the way to earn a buck or two, as both his parents were successful entrepreneurs, and being surrounded by people who do things their way and work to achieve things, is as we know so hugely powerful to your own development. So with a track record of a range of ventures including a nightclub promotions company, a modelling agency and a fashion line, he is attempting to find the thing that brings all his hustle together and creates the future that he deserves. And now more recently, he has been managing his own financial advisory firm, Fordyce & Playle, and a new online estate agency, Market My Property But if you think that this episode will be about a young man who is working solely on his own life, and becoming an entrepreneur of note, then think again. As with passions ranging from animal healthcare, children and even appearing in the 'Famous Males Checkum' cancer calendar he is doing his best to give back to the world. So where does he see his true value to the world being directed at its highest level? And does he feel that he is on track to achieve his dream of the youngest entrepreneur to sit as an investor on BBC's tv show "Dragon's Den" Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Tom Webster.

Todays guest is a lady, who believes that entering into adult life with a solid education is extremely advisable, but entering into adultlife with the debt that education brings is not. She was a college graduate who ended her education with zero student loans. What I hear you say.....no student loans how is that possible! Well, hang on a minute as if you think that sounds inplausible then consider that not only was her college bill paid for but she actually got paid to go to school too. As the first in her family, she had to figure out the scholarship process on her own, and so successfully did this, she now wants to help other students and their families do the same and the first step has been writing the Amazon bestseller "The Scholarship System." This best selling book details the exact strategies, and insider information that she uncovered which allowed her to bring in over $125,000 in scholarships and financial aid, paying her entire college bill and giving her extra cash each semester. She was able to focus on her higher education rather than constantly worrying about money and how much student loan debt was piling up. But that is just one part of her story as this is a lady who has an eye of creating a life that so few people are willing to create, and she is going for it Big time. As she says "Recently I have realized that future options are endless and, while I have always taken advantage of those opportunities in front of me, I am now creating my own." So how does someone come out of the education system with a mind-set so different from so many others, who focus in on a job, and not creating the opportunities that can lead to financial freedom instead? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Jocelyn Paonita.

Todays guest is a man whose middle name is maxi (i'll be honest I'm not sure if this was from birth or he added it later), but it certainly fits extremely well in regards to his approach to life. He believes that we all have it in us to live our lives to the "Max" and its not our situations, income, lifestyles, or anything else that holds us back other than quite simply ourselves. He qualified as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and worked for many years providing solutions-orientated guidance for weight-loss, smoking, and the elimination of phobias. His goal is to encourage clients to adapt and improve all aspects of their lives by understanding the vital role the mind plays in all our lives. And it's not just individuals where his talents as a "Mind Coach" come to the fore, as he works with companies, organisations and individuals from his varied experience as a Business Owner, Sports Coach, Trainer, Sales Manager and Therapist he knows what they are going through. He is the author of 'Escape the Mind Trap - How to Conquer Your Inner Demons' and can dig down past the stumbling blocks and self-limiting beliefs that hold us all back, and find the fears and anxieties that actually create the things that we think are holding us back. Get rid of them and see your life change. So how has he managed to overcome the fears and concerns that stop the rest of in our tracks? And does he see the same issues time and time again, and can help us on Join Up Dots make a step forward in our own pursuit of success? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots the one and only, Mr Ian Maxi Jackson!
