John Hurd and his colleague Bob Caldwell from Pride Furniture do not believe in the “doom and gloom ” philosophy that is dominating our current business outlook.
John Hurd, founder of the Business Excellence breakfasts in 1993 stated that this is the time to remain positive and keep strong networking connections with positive people. This also is the time to re-examine your marketing strategy for 2009 and beyond.
Sponsorship of Business Excellence will give you and your business the competive edge. Details for sponsorship can be found “application form” on the side of this website.
Our Gold Sponsors can be found onthe right side also. Just click on their name and this should take you to their website.

END OF DST FOR SEVERAL MONTHS!!!! Great to see the end of Daylight Saving Time from the 6th of April. This means our April 16th Breakfast will be at “normal time”-whatever that is. I am sick of watching TV late when my Qld clock shows 11pm when I know my real time is 12 mid night!We all know the cost to our businesses on both sides of the border.
NEWS RE THE NEXT BUSINESS BREAKFAST SPEAKER – see link at right***Our April 16th Speaker- Shane Ellis is a very interesting character and powerful speaker. After considerable success in the legal field he realised money is not everything. After some self-confessed wasted time he decided the path to real happiness and success was the pursuit of a balanced life style. He then started a course of education in a variety of self improvement courses. He then wrote the book “Seven Simple Secrets to Success’- which has been much acclaimed. You are promised a “warts and all” presentation incorporating Shane’s wide worldly experience and his acquired skills of human excellence and success.

Our next speaker and actionman, Brendon Sinclair is a great breakfast speaker, and always give a good performance. He might have talked himself into trouble this time, though. He’s going to be looking at the back wheel of his 15 year-old son for 4,500km while they raise money for a worthy cause while bike-riding across Australia. Perth to Surfers. Phew. Click on the image at left to be taken to his fundraising website, and see a professional at work.
He is a great family man too, and always gives 110% for them. Good luck on the ride, Brendon, and don’t lag too far behind. His breakfast topic will be web-marketing (though I am sure the ride will get a mention). You can hear him Wednesday 20th at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club. Get the details on the next breakfast here. Please BOOK EARLY.

Photo taken last week at the incredible monolith ULURU or AYERS ROCK. The temperture was 47 on the 6th December and 49 or close to 125 c. in the old scale. If you have not visited this magnificent attraction in Central Australia NT then seriously consider doing so but suggest winter a much better time.
Just to walk around the base is a thrill. It is about 9 kilometres around the base.
