In this episode, I was lucky enough to catch up with good friend and mentor, Antonio Thompson

Antonio and I first met at a conference in Las Vagas,  in 2015.

It was a busy, bustling conference with thousands in attendance, but we managed to cut through the literal noise!

But then as now, what stood out talking to Antonio is his knowledge and kindness in imparting that information.

Antonio explains things very clearly.  Join our conversation to learn more about an effective online presence and how a huge ad spend is NOT required for ad success!

If you are a Solopreneur or small business owner pay particular attention around the 20-minute mark of our conversation!

About Antonio, in his words:  I started doing what I am doing because I had a passion for helping people. I discovered I had a talent for helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Man, it was so rewarding hearing business owners about how business was picking up. I was helping others do what they were passionate about, and that was an awesome feeling!

Before I knew it, the demand for my talent was growing, and I opened Antonio Thompson Marketing. I trained other marketing experts on my exact blueprint, and today, I have helped to scale hundreds of businesses like yours!   Imagine not having to worry about where the clients are coming from… Imagine easily scaling your business without the stress of figuring out how to do that!

Amanda Davey is a geographer and landscape architect who writes entertaining (even quirky) non-fiction and takes photographs also inspired by her love of the outside world and its foibles.

She has worked for herself since 2004 and started publishing greeting cards in 2014 and added books to the list in 2015 with her grandfather's long-awaited autobiography of his life as a high-profile civil engineer.

Once a map curator, the call to spend more time with muddy feet was strong and she retrained as a landscape architect in the 1990s.

Her interests are extremely diverse and eclectic and landscape architecture is the perfect foil for this as there is virtually no subject that is off-limits.

She has worked as an environmental consultant, graphic designer, photographer, information specialist and has a design background underpinned by mathematics.

A deep believer in the value to learning and life purpose that humour and laughter can contribute she is a fan of Douglas Adams as an instinctive philosopher and not just a comedy writer and is keen that learning happens through enjoyment and curiosity - that 'lighting the flame' idea for education rather than just plodding out information with no heart.

The publishing business is Tilia Publishing UK https://www.tiliapublishinguk.co.uk. 

Tilia is the scientific name for lime trees, the name was chosen partly for the outdoors element to it, but also after a childhood favourite tree that grew tall and proud outside her bedroom window.

She has written or co-written four books and illustrated two more:
2013 Scilly Birding: Joining the Madding Crowd, Brambleby Books. Simon Davey (illus AD)

2015 It's Warmer Down Below: the autobiography of Sir Harold Harding, 1900-1986, Tilia Publishing UK. Sir Harold Harding (ed and contr AD)

2015 The Lichens of Jersey, Société Jersiaise. Simon Davey with Amanda Davey

2016 Is No Problem: The Trials, Trails and Tribulations of a Natural History Tour Leader, Brambleby Books. Simon Davey (illus AD)
2018 Freckles and Friends: True Stories of Garden Wildlife, Tilia Publishing UK. Amanda Davey

2021 Meet the Team: The roles played by 'our gang', Tilia Publishing UK. Amanda Davey 

There are further books in preparation for 2022:

The churches of the South Downs National Park, Tilia Publishing UK. Amanda Davey with Simon Davey (in prep)

Cristina and the Painter: a Medici Princess's story, Tilia Publishing UK. Amanda Davey (in prep)

A Force for Nature: A biographical memoir of Dr Francis Rose, Tilia Publishing UK. Simon Davey (in prep)

As a huge fan of the positive role that social media has the ability to play, Amanda and Simon Davey ran the Facebook and Twitter accounts for the British Lichen Society from 2017-2021. Natural history knowledge growth through social media thanks to smartphones and increasing access to knowledgeable specialists has the chance to help give a push up to that lit flame idea of learning and development. With this is mind they also have a Facebook group called Our World in the Lime Light, which celebrates and enjoys the quirky and beautiful things that can be seen in the big outdoors in particular. Not solely the natural world, either.

If you are thinking of changing your work to do something that is a passion ,then this conversation is for you...

Mark took that leap and has not looked back.  You'll see that it is never too late to change direction, and that success and work-life balance can be achieved at different stages of life, and in different professions

Join us for this inspiring conversation

Mark, in his own words:

"I'm Mark Jerling and I'm a personal trainer and group exercise instructor in and around Worthing, West Sussex.

Most of my working life has been spent in management but then in 2011, I became a bit disillusioned with the daily work routine. I felt like my work life was out of sync. My wife suggested to me “why don't you do what you love, fitness".

So I booked myself an intensive personal training course and since then  I have not looked back.

I love helping people find ways to achieve their goals, whatever they may be, weight loss, get fitter, become a better athlete or just feel good about themselves. I give people the confidence to do things that they didn't believe they could and seeing that change is a great experience.

Within a couple of years, I added group exercise classes to my repertoire. Instructing to a full class of enthusiastic participants is again just a lovely feeling. I've also seen people change shape and improve fitness whilst attending classes.

In 2016, we moved to a home where we a have a lovely bit of land with chickens, geese, ducks and bees and with farmland as our view.

I feel now  like I have found my work life balance."

In this episode, I had the great pleasure to sit down with the very inspirational Shahida Rashid.
We learn that Shahida has gone from a very dark place to one of happiness, abundance, and giving.

This episode of our podcast will help and guide anyone facing their own dark moments while giving you ideas and help to grow your business and achieve your dreams.

And....If you like what you hear, please pop over and give us a review to help others find us.  Thank you

Mindset & Sales Mentor
Author of Happiness from Within
Founder Trustee for Butterfly Charity
Networking Manager

In Shahida's words:

"Having lived most of my life on autopilot and not being present, my wakeup call in life happened when I suffered depression. It made me turn inwards and I started finding happiness from the inside, instead of searching for the outside world to make me happy.

It started with me, loving every part of me and being authentic without fear of judgement.

With a background in sales and teaching, I wanted to combine my
skills and teach women how to live their best life by putting themselves first and finding happiness from within. I wanted women to be fabulous in business so they can create the life they want to live for themselves and their family.

After setting up Butterfly Charity which gives women in rural villages of Bangladesh wings by providing funding for their business, I wanted more women to be able to give back or start their own charity and have an abundance mindset."

Before we get started on this episode, let me remind you to join my own group.
It's free and has lots of help for entrepreneurs - I'd love to welcome you there

http://bit.ly/OLEAGroup  For The Online Entrepreneur Academy

Business is tough and can be a lonely journey for the entrepreneur. 

I hope The Online Entrepreneur Podcast helps you in practical terms with ideas, strategy and suggestions, but also enables you to see that from by guests ranging from modest business owners to the 7 figure standout 'names' with global businesses, there is an opportunity to make a difference and be very successful.

The truth is,  success is in all of us. 

This conversation with Steve ranged over quite a few areas as we both help small businesses get off the ground.  Steve has many years of experience in business and has helped the cash flow conundrum many find themselves in

There are some great gems and solid information to help you

Join our conversation to learn more

Now, some more about my guest; Steve's on a mission to improve the success rate of small businesses.

He does this by supporting, nurturing and inspiring business owners to achieve extraordinary results, whilst building the business of their dreams.

His service range from his 'Just Think BiG Mastermind Groups' to a one-to-one basis.

Given that far more businesses fail than succeed - and the most common reason for business failure is 'cash flow problems' (which, to you and me means not having enough clients) - he's particular about marketing and helping business owners get a much better understanding of the who, why, what, where, when and how of marketing.

He's found that a much better understanding of it leads to much better results. I'd certainly have to agree there!

You'll find Steve here at his social media accounts:

It was my pleasure to talk with Mark on a warm summer afternoon as he shared wisdom and advice for entrepreneurs, including home business owners and network marketers

About Mark, from his blog page

" I was first introduced in the year 2000 to network marketing when I met with a gentleman at Denny's restaurant for a sit-down presentation. Not only was my excitement level through the roof, but it was also then that I got the freedom bug.

Since that very moment, I have always had a passion for entrepreneurship and the freedom one can attain if they put their head down and go to work.

Because I was able to see the vision that day, life for me over the past decade has been a dream come true. I have the amazing privilege to connect with people and individuals that have had a massive positive influence in my life, family, social influence and business.

I have since gone on to become a multiple 6-figure earner annually while earning multiple millions in commissions overall. I have in the process taught thousands how to leverage the power of online video to boost traffic, leads, and sales.

I have won several marketing awards and walked the stage at many events.

I have also spoken in front of 1000's of people, training and teaching the strategies that have helped me build my online empire. "

There is no doubt you are listening to an expert!
