Opportunity Knocks in 72 hours it happens!


  It was Wednesday night August 19th and I was chilling reading a book when I get a call from Dwayne Richard and he says " interested in doing a paid talk this Friday?"  I was little lost for words " Yeah sure " I said

  The journey began to learn more about this opportunity and how I was going fit it in my crazy schedule I had for the next day Thursday!

   Dwayne Richard says " Call her tonight and figure it out!"

 So I just that called the contact we spoke for 20 minutes, she was satisfied with my experience and we were a go!

  He assistant sent over the powerpoint deck to pamphlet to review for the lesson on Thursday at 4:00pm by that time I had been up since 9;00am had 2 meetings and by 5;00pm I had just come back for a session regarding an event for late September.

I viewed the slide and pamplet and seemed very simple and straight forward. By the time I got back from my evening event it was 1:00am Friday morning and I was exhausted!

 Got up 6;00am had breakfast and reviewed the material before I headed out. The location was not very far 30 minute drive but I was still nervous!

  I got there early and prepared in the car. The owner of the company showed up and we had coffee and discussed the class. She said  " You will be fine"

  The class started at 9:30am and I had 6 students had made a paid commitment to learn Powerful Presentation strategies that work

  I began and within the first hour I had their interest and attention!  It was teaching, learning and interaction that gave the morning the flow I need to share my personal insights and experiences.

  The first section was how to put together a powerpoint using the sandwich technique (begin, middle and end) It was the next section that I was excited about. How to create and effective elevator pitch.

 Luckily I had written my down the day before and with some instruction on the white board I told the attendees they have to do theirs!

  I took a 10 minute break and when I returned I put them at the front of the room and did they ever deliver impactful elevator speeches.

   I gave them all standing ovation!

   Moral of the Story:  You may get a phone call with an opportunity will you be ready to take action?

Journey to Ultimate Wealth Weekend

                                                               
 It was amazing weekend at the National Club in downtown Toronto. The 1st annual Ultimate Wealth Weekend was held by Paul Tobey of Training Business Pros and many special guests!

 From Russel Oliver who may a great opening on Friday night. David Chilton. Author of Wealthy Barber books and currently on the Dragon's Den show shared his insight and experiences on how he created the Wealth barber book (great story) and shared his experience on the show.

  There were numerous guest speakers that Paul Toby had invited to share on his stage.

  I have attended Paul's event and crossed paths at various events in Toronto. It was great experience to volunteer for the weekend. I had my own events to do Saturday and Sunday and they supervisory staff gave me the flexibility to attend the in the afternoon on the weekend. Very grateful for that.

Had the great opportunity to meet amazing entrepreneurs and professionals who were on their journey of success. Special guest was Camille Ali who took advantage of my special offer and came to all three days!

  Great to see Sujit Reddy, Randi Goodman, Vito Marchese, Jason Reid, Daniel Hanzelka, Janet Russ,
Claudia Harvey and Tanya May and so many new friendships were made. Look forward to connecting with many people I got business cards from.
