I get this email. It’s an invitation to give a presentation to a group of new online entrepreneurs based in London. “Cool”, I think to myself, “I’ve presented to business groups in Australia and New Zealand – why not the UK”? And I needed to visit the shops in Covent Garden and on Oxford St.
The email also presented the opportunity for me to be able to take on mentoring or coaching students from the event – something I’d already been doing on an individual basis with various experts – helping them with their web strategy.
So, I had the system. I just needed to develop the presentation and formalize my coaching program – not too hard when you’ve been a lecturer for 15 years.
Advanced Social Web for Online Authority and Online Business
And so this is how Advanced Social Web came about. It’s all about the web – the web is a social machine – and to win at this game you have to have an advanced strategy. So, I decided to get serious about this and booked myself a secret hide-away and for four days I put together the basic outline and then spent the new few months filling in all the gaps.
London was a huge success. I had a great crowd at the Novotel, St Pancras. I presented the concepts of the Freeconomy and the Socialconomy. I talked about how the internet is a brain and how understanding this can help people earn an income online. I talked about what it takes to become an authority and based these steps on my own experiences. I talked about the opportunities available online for people who become an authority – or trusted guide – in their field or market. I talked about how to make all this happen efficiently and strategically, with systems and software.
And I hit the mark. The feedback I received was amazing – so good that I should have asked for testimonials.
The best thing about that whole process, however, wasn’t my talk, my information, my anything. The best thing was that a group of highly talented people with a diverse range of experiences, decided to take action and allow me to help them move forward. That was by far the coolest thing.
Anyone can dream. Anyone can crap on about how they’re going to do this and that. But this represents the sea of people who never take that dream forward. Who never actually do “this and that”. And after speaking to thousands of people over the last year, this lack of decisiveness and lack of action has become incredibly boring to me.
And this is why – when faced with a group of people who are actually prepared to step up and do something – I feel the opposite of bored. I feel excited. Enthused. Joyful. I want to see them succeed. I want to be a part of that.
So my Advanced Social Web program is running right now. I’m not, as yet, promoting it anywhere else. But watch this space – there are going to be some great success stories.
