Photo’s yours truly and Beautiful Mt. Cook – South Island NZ.
We flew around this mountain and the glaciers Franz Josep and landed on Fox glacier by helicopter- an unforgettable experience last fortnight.
Sadly two climbers fell after a successful climb the day after this photo was taken.
Photo on left of the writer was taken at the International Antarctic Centre Christchurch. The temperature in this exhibit was -8 degrees!! This exhibition is next to Christchurch Airport and is fast becoming a world tourist must see!! You need to spend a few hours to see all the exhibits and enjoy an educational and interesting time.
Just reminiscing on the holiday–now back to work.

Well February is here so quickly. The year is moving too fast!!
Nothing has been written since January 11 as we were absent in beautiful New Zealand. This holiday will be the subject of a separate article and hopefully with some beautiful photos to demonstrate the magnificent scenary of this magic country.
The great news is we have been organising powerful and NOT to be missed guest presenters for the Business Excellence Breakfasts commencing February 21st, March 21st and April 18th.
February will feature dyanamic speaker RON/ ROWDY McLEAN-with an interactive and engaging presentation on “CREATING A SERVICE CULTURE”.
Ron or Rowdy as he is well known has been running a successful Communications Company and was GM of one of Tweed/Gold Coasts biggest Clubs. His current business CREATING SYNERGY is exciting the business world throughout Australia!
Customer service is sadly lacking in current business and without customers there is NO BUSINESS!!
This topic will be covered in his business address at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club at 7am DST on February 21st- bookings and more details to john@businessexcellence.net.au
March 21st will be featuring BRENDON SINCLAIR one of Australia’s top Marketing Minds. His topic will be ” How to outwit your competitors and power your way to Marketing Success beyond you wildest dreams”.
Be warned Brendon is DIFFERENT!! You will learn marketing strategies from the MASTER OF MARKETING!!
THE BIG NEWS!!–The legendary BOB ANSETT-will be speaking on the 18th April.
We usually have maximum attendance when Bob speaks- usually in the hundreds!!
The founder of Budget Rent a Car he has an incredible story to tell. Recently featured on the ABC Program “DYNASTIES” he will be one of the most interesting speakers this year.
This will be a very special event and early booking and pre-payment is a must to be in the audience.
Garry Macdonald- professional educator and financial investor- will be conducting an intensive wealth building workshop at KINGSCLIFF TAFE ( Garry is head of the North Coast School of Business at the TAFE college) on Thursday 1st of March from 5pm til 9pm. His very special price is $57 per single or $97 per double.
This is great value for money as Garry will give you information to change your financial life! His qualifications are too long to list here but full information is available by reserving your place at www.invest4yourlife.com.au. Here you can download your registration form be clicking on “educational seminars.
“
Any more information please also contact me direct on 0418 269 136 or my email address as shown in this memo. I cannot recommend this seminar too highly. Garry is a brilliant communicator and at this price you cannot afford not to be there. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the Leukaemia Foundation- a very worthy cause.
Next article will have photos and more information on what is happening on local business.

The chinese say ” a picture is worth a thousand words”. With this philosophy in mind and with the assistance of “nice guy” Bob, Business Excellence has now added an “instant” connection to their web-site, allowing one click on a Sponsor’s name to access their web-site for information and marketing purposes.
I feel any business. be they large or small “must” strongly consider a web-site. In this age of email and World Wide Web business must take every opportunity for marketing and promotion.
John Hurd’s Business Excellence commenced in 1993 and is considered the longest continuous running business breakfast in Australia. It is now entering its fourteenth year of operation.
Once per month a friendly group of NSW and QLD business people attend Tweed Heads Bowls Club to network, mix with positive people and listen to the best Speakers and presenters in Australia.
New businesses are especially welcome. Bookings can be made to email:
john@businessexcellence.net.au
At the start of each month this blog will feature information on the monthly business speaker plus interesting info. on business happenings in Tweed and Gold Coast.
We look forward to your constructive comments.
Happy New Year to all from John Hurd’s desk.
