			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the famous Australian cricketer&#8217;s stunning girl friend said &#8220;Where the bloody hell were you?&#8221;</p>
<p>There were vacant seats at John Hurd&#8217;s Business Excellence breakfast last Wednesday. The business people who &#8220;forgot&#8221; to attend (even though they were booked) missed one of Australia&#8217;s best female presenters KAREN SCHMIDT.  Speak to anyone who was present if you want to check the validity of the writer&#8217;s claim</p>
<p>It never ceases to amaze me that so many people complain about the &#8220;economic climate&#8221; and yet miss out on learning and listening to the very best speakers in Australia at these monthly business breakfasts. You meet positive people and network in the truest sense. We must be doing something right to have run continuously for nearly 16 years!!</p>
<p>Our next speaker/presenter for May 20th is Marketing Dynamo JERRY CROCKFORD- in my opinion on of the best marketing advisors in the business. Bookings can me made to <a href="mailto:john@businessexcellence.net.au">john@businessexcellence.net.au</a> any time. All bookings, excluding Gold Sponsors, must be prepaid on line to reserve your seat. Details for this prepayment should be available on this website <a title="New Sponsor's form" href="http://goldcoasttweednetworking.com/Documents/Membership%20Application%20Form.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>- if not clear a quick email to the above address will foreard all details.</p>
<p>Speakings coming up in the next few months are RON McLEAN- International Presenter and BOB ANSETT  who needs no introduction as one of the best speakers in Australia on &#8220;Customer Service&#8221;</p>
<p>Scroll through our speakers profilers on this website and you will realise the tremendous opportunities to meet positive people and listen/learn from the best presenters in the business. There is no negativity at these breakfasts.</p>
<p>The articles on business tips and marketing will now be available in the next article.</p>
<p>Have a great week and hope to see you at the business breakfast at Tweed Heads Bowls Club 7am on May the 20th. First time visitors can attend for a discounted $20.00 fee- which is tax deductible.</p>
<p>Keep positive- remember positive business is all about attitude.</p>
<p> John Hurd</p>
<p>Convenor- Business Excellence Marketing and Promotions</p>
