Small Business Community

One of the best things about what I get to do is the people that I meet. I had some wonderful conversations this week – I guess if there is an overall theme – the people I meet are curious, interested and working hard. No one expects ‘success’ to fall in their lap – and they are committed to creating their financial security while doing something that is worthwhile.

I have spent much time this week working in the NaomiSimson.com community, a group of like minded people. I have started adding video content (and links to the interviews that I have done) so that the knowledge I gather can be shared with others.

If you know a startup, entrepreneur, founder or business owner please invite them to join us.

Last week

Wow, what a week; some weeks I’m grounded and other weeks I’m travelling from one state to another, playing many and various roles.

Monday had me speaking in Coffs Harbour, Tuesday in Sydney. I had a great catch up with Customer Advocate and all round great woman Tiffani Bova, and Wednesday I interviewed some Facebook team members in Melbourne. If you missed it you can get it in the community (…I think we need a better name for our group). From here I visited the award winning Melbourne Real Estate team who are great advocates of the redii.com platform, watched the Porsche team at the Grand Prix whilst delivering my keynote between races as part of the ‘Women of Drive’ program.  In Sydney for the rest of the week hanging out at Gravity and the redii.com team.

Coming Up

Last week had me on the move, this week I have a speaking engagement in Fiji for a client… which of course I am looking forward to.

Thought for the week:

 

What I am reading:

“This is not a sprint, it’s a marathon, so you need both the physical and mental endurance.”

Baby steps are better than no steps at all! – Crowd funding

The wish to ‘turn a dollar’, ‘solve a problem’ and be an entrepreneur is certainly not restricted!
