25 Years of Personal Development Training Wisdom
By · CommentsThe famous Mental Toolbox is coming to Brisbane again!
25 year veterans of the Australian personal development industry Paul and Mary Blackburn will be bringing their unique Mental Toolbox to Brisbane near the end of February!
At this event 2 years ago Carolyn, my wife of 25 years and I did one of the most powerful "together" exercises we’ve ever done (can’t tell you what it was…, but you’ll definitely get to do it when you go!). This is not a "Lecture" style workshop, it’s what I believe is an almost perfect blend of great cutting edge teaching, plus opportunities to really explore yourself and discover the breakthroughs that are right for YOU, right here right now!
You’ll Discover:
# how your mind works,
# why it does the things that frustrate you,
# how to change it into your most reliable and productive asset,
# where, when, why & how to ‘reprogram’ it and
# what to do to keep it running at peak efficiency for the rest of your life.
Here’s some more info about this event:
This is the day on which you will transform into the person of your dream. Are you ready to begin living the life you’ve imagined?
Imagine:
* Making more money in less time by knowing how to work smarter instead of harder.
* Being cool calm and relaxed - even when the going gets really tough.
* Remaining superbly fit, exuberantly healthy and full of vibrance, energy & enthusiasm.
* Experiencing genuine, lasting, fulfilling, happiness - both in each moment of the day and on-going-ly.
* Building & maintaining relationships with your friends and family that just plain WORK!
Our wind up session outlines what you need to do and when to do it so that the skills from The Mental Toolbox become personal habits enabling you to look back in twenty years and conclude that the time and money spend on this weekend was the best investment you ever made. It’s a simple, what to do and when to do it session that puts the weekend into a package you will use every day - because it delivers!
My wife Carolyn is a Master Coach with this company, that’s how much we believe in what they do! Because of her association with Beyond Success we can offer special discount tickets to this fabulous event, for only $197 (Normally $1997).

Client Online Success Profile | Delicious, Nutritious!
By · CommentsLooking back over the many successes my clients have had this year, one stands out in my mind as particularly valiant and newsworthy!
Lisa Vance a leading Nutritionist in Brisbane runs a business called I’ve Got Life. Lisa only came out to Australia from South Africa around 18 months ago, and has developed an enviable following of clients and supporters through effective networking and engaging several online strategies. Not having a huge budget for an online presence, we focussed on creating a simple but functional site and also created some videos which are still ranked # 4 and 5 in Google for the term "nutritionist in brisbane".
Lisa also started slowly building her email list and now its not unusual for her to get in the range of 150 visitors to her site from a simple email newsletter broadcast. One of Lisa’s secrets to success has been providing useful, interesting and practical content - check out her blog to see some of her recent posts - the latest one outlines how to choose the healthiest beer for Christmas!!
Finally, amongst many admirable achievements, just last week Lisa launched her first physical product: The Tasty Times 2010 "Healthy Eating Calendar for All Seasons". Always one for quality, Lisa has excelled herself with this innovative collection of sumptuous recipes and healthy eating tips, assembled with beautiful photos (all taken by Lisa herself, not stock pics!) and gorgeous graphic artwork on high-gloss CD size cards!
Congratulations to Lisa, and by the way, if you think Lisa’s calendar might make a great Christmas present for either yourself, a relative or friend, you can purchase one (or more) for the discount price on her website of only $14.95 each plus P&P, but you’ll need to get your order into Lisa by early next week!
She’s also offering some crazy Christmas Special package prices on wellness consultations (for non-active clients only). I am a clinet of Lisa’s myself and she has helped me considerably this year with some health and wellness goals that I set for myself and I can HIGHLY recommend her approach which is both practical and true-to-her-own-values of choosing high levels of vitality and health through the foods we eat and thoughts we think!
Check out her crazy offer right here!
The Coveted Double Listing
By · CommentsHere’s an interesting example of a double listing in Google. You can only get two listings in Google for the same domain, and sometimes you get them one after the other, whcih is always nice because you pick up the extra "domination" of the SERPS for that term.
My client Drake Homes is one of Brisbane’s longest established relocatable homes providers, and runs a very busy operation on the southside of Brisbane. A lot of his traffic comes from Google so we looked at ways to improve his presence and rankings. The example I want to mention today is for the serach term relocatable homes brisbane which his site ranked quite well for already but now that we added in an SEO page specifically optimised for that term, he now has a #2 AND a #3 listing. With further linking work, this can easily go even higher.
You can check out his listings here, although remember, things change from day to day on Google!
About my client Project Furniture
By · Comments
I met Warren Smith at a talk I gave up on the Sunshine Coast. He’s a really cool guy from South Africa and recently purchased Project Furniture with his business partner David Taylor. Office furniture is actually a really competitive niche so keyword research was really important, focussing on long tail keywords. He supplies office chairs in brisbane, office chairs nsw, in fact office furniture all over Australia, so that made the task a little easier - its a HUGE market!
Here are some of the keyword phrases we chose for him:
office chair brisbane
office desks australia
office chairs qld
office chair sydney
We’re also going to make a video for him about one of his very cool ergonomic mesh chairs.
As well as office chairs Project Furniture also supply a full range of office furniture including partitioning and desk systems.
I’m looking for an innovative marketing company in Brisbane with direct response and B2B marketing experience (not interest in big firm "branding" oriented approaches) to assist me with helping an SME develop a strategy and possible pilot marketing campaign roll-out for an innovative new B2B product targeted at the SME sector.
Must be innovative, strongly customer service focussed, and not have ridiculous expectations price wise, to provide some initial strategies for this project. There will be an online marketing component to the strategy which I may be handling, but we need some strategies around FAST ways to take the product to a test market, to assess market/product/pricing match.
Please call Peter on 0416 086 502 for more info and initial discussion.
Thanks
Peter
SEO Agency Brisbane - Some examples of simple SEO pages
By · CommentsFollowing the dramatic results of the examples I posted 2 days ago here, where 4 pages got top 4 rankings just 24 hours after Google indexed them, I thought I’d post a few more up here for us to watch. These one as I post them have not been indexed yet. so lets see how they go.
It’s about 9.30pm Brisbane time on the 7th of July as I post these.
We’ll keep track of how they go from time to time!
Examples of SEO pages
By · CommentsHere are some examples of brand new SEO pages we’ve created for clients.
As of posting this (Monday 6th July) these are all brand new, and haven’t been indexed yet, so you wont find them listed or ranked in Google yet! (Update 7th July: Yes you will now! See below!). Note these are what I call "ownership" terms which although they don;t have large search traffic (if any) reported in Google, this business is staking its claim over these terms in the major states and cities. The business sells a reasonably high-ticket item, so even if it only gets a couple of visitors and sales from each term per year, its MASSIVELY worth his while!
Click on the links below to see the actual Google searches:
Spray tanning equipment queensland
(Update 7th July 1 day after indexing - ranks #1 in Google for that keyword)
Spray tanning equipment melbourne
(Update 7th July 1 day after indexing - ranks #4 in Google for that keyword)
spray tanning equipment victoria
(Update 7th July 1 day after indexing - ranked #1 in Google for that keyword)
(Update 7th July 1 day after indexing - ranks #3 in Google under two business directory listings also owned by this business, for that keyword!)
Not only that but these pages are serving triple and quadruple duty, because they also rank similarly highly for the same geographical locations for terms like: "spray tan equipment [location]", "spray tanning machines [location]" and spray tan machines [location] plus no doubt some others I haven’t checked!
Contact Peter here or on 0416 086 502 to have this done for your business as well!
Is my Twitter account frozen…?
By · Comments"Hi Peter
I am so excited, I am now over 500 followers (up from about 350) and I have been getting registrations to our website membership that I feel might be related to Twitter….. It is all so exciting. I seem to be as excited about getting followers on Twitter as I am on getting new members on the website.

"Hi Peter -
www.actiontanks.com.au"
You see today my VA contacted me to say she could not follow anyone through my Twitter account. I checked it out, and sure enough, I just got this time-clock signal, and nothing happened, each time I tried to follow someone. I checked the Twitter forum and there was an acknowledged issue with following/followers, so I didn’t think too much more about it. But tonight I am getting a little message which says that I’m unable to follow more people at this moment, and "click here.
I thought I’d share the page with you, so you can read from the horses mouth what can cause these occurances, especially when its related to perhaps a little too-much-too-quick following! We’ll see!
Here’s the link to the Twitter page - interesting reading!
I’ll keep you posted!

Good example of using a short info video for marketing:
By · CommentsWe made this video (amongst others) for Lisa from www.ivegotlife.com.au
It was recorded in Hi-Def so check it out in HD by clicking on the HD button.
- Frustration
- Discouragement
- Overwhelm, and…
- fear.
Here’s just some of the things we’re going to cover:
* What’s really going on with frustration, discouragement, fear of failure or success, and overwhelm, and how understanding this can help you get the upper hand on these emotions for ever!
* Emotions like these often prevent us from operating from a place of "flowing" and a "settled expectation of abundance". Laurie will give us tips about how, on a day by day basis, we can "live in the moment", and rise above these things which try to pull us into a negative emotional state, and destroy our effectiveness.
* how we can manage our thoughts and emotions in a way which serves us… Laurie will give us some of her most most effective tools
* How to frame your mindset for success even when the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to be working, and things seem to be going wrong!
* Experienced a major discouragement and can’t seem to get *unstuck* out of its grip?! Laurie shows us how to "bounce back" when life deals out the "curve balls"!
* How to manage overwhelm if you’ve got too many pressures weighing on you right now!
* Plus much much more.
Once Laurie and I get chatting, the banter always seems to start flying, and there’s always plenty of laughs! - this call won’t be boring - you can be sure of that!
