With an entertaining and informative approach, Bob draws from a wealth of business and sporting experience to provide advice, insights, anecdotes and new approaches to all facets of human endeavour.

NOVEMBER NEWS 2011 FROM JOHN HURD’S DESK
Paddy Sweeney High Impact Professional Speaker-Successful Businessman-Franchisor and Author will be launching his 8th Book ” FIRE IN MY BELLY” at the breakfast on the 16th November at Tweed/Coolangatta 7am DST.
While he has authored seven books, the latest that is about to be released is the most interesting and useful. FIRE IN MY BELLY is a true life business drama laced with many tips and useful advice gleaned direct from the coalface. It uses the actual story of how Paddy turned around his company from burning $100 000 a month with $878 000 in unpaid 30-day accounts into a profitable and viable entity in less than twenty months.
Paddy maintains that the Fire in his Belly was the ingredient that made the difference.
“With a Fire in Your Belly doors open that you don’t know are there, opportunities flock to you, sales skyrocket, employee morale heightens and you ALWAYS find a way through to whatever you want to achieve.”
His high impact address drills down, in a way only Paddy can do, to the very heart and soul of all who he has lifted off their seats.
In his testimony he provides numerous real life examples of drama laced with humour and how each of can and should tap into the Fire in our Bellies every day. He has the unique ability to weave his audience into his story so it becomes their story. People take away new paradigms and ideas on how to solve and conquer all they may confront.
Paddy is the founder, CEO and director of start-up company Westcoast Brewing. Commencing with nothing more than an idea and limited capital, Paddy has grown the company to encompass a successful brewery and a high profile restaurant, with a second carbon neutral brewery about to be built as well as plans for a sister brewing company in Australia. The company exports to five countries and the demand for its products is growing exponentially as a result of critical and growing acclaim.
He is also a Franchisor of two successful Franchise Systems developed from scratch.
If the audience consists of groups that encompass sales people, management, franchisees, network marketing or if you simply have a group that needs a good dose of uncommon sense and motivation Sweeney will deliver, of that you can be assured.
Bookings by 12noon Monday 14th November to john@businessexcellence.net.au

‘THE M.A.D GUY’ Gary Jeffress to speak at the Tweed Heads Business Excellence Breakfast on 20th July 2011 on DYNAMIC CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TOUGH TIMES!
MAD being a metaphor for Making A Difference, Gary Jeffress is a firm believer that there are no traffic jams along the extra mile, especially when it comes to developing a customer base.
Through the creation of his unique selling propositions, Gary had successfully taken a start-up venture business and turned it into a $3million dollar saleable enterprise with around 30 active customers. Who wouldn’t want to hear his secrets?
In 2007 he sold both enterprises and was asked to coach a number of business people in their own ventures, which he still does today. Two of those companies asked him to join their board of directors after recognising the value he was to their business.
Business Coaching is a rewarding task that Gary loves to be involved in. It fits with his Making A Difference mindset.
Gary as The M.A.D. Guy however runs seminars and high energy workshops teaching that isn’t covered in accredited courses. Gary personally shares customer service secrets and is a published article writer on how you can build your business with only a small number of loyal clients., “
