Thanks to iBidAM.com and Louise Schultze the ‘A Day With Success’ programs are selling out fast, people from all over Australia are flying in to spend one day with a highly successful CEO. Louise is our most on demand and we think it’s because of her freakish profiling skills. We had another chat with her and this is what she had to say.
“I’m very taken back that the first year of hosting ‘A Day With Success’ programs are selling out and people are coming from all over Australia to book in.” Louise says. “It is a great honour that you can be a part of such an important venture in someone’s life, like their very own business. It’s great to be using my profiling skills again, and I thought I may be a little rusty, but it was just like riding a bike. Little secret, I am loving it!
I think I am relating well, because I know what it feels like to not be taken seriously in business, what it feels like to feel a little lost with some issues you face, and that there isn’t someone who has done it all before you can go to and say these are my problems what are the solutions, it gives me great pleasure that I can now be that for other people in their business.”
Enough from Louise - so what’s it like from the perspective of those attending?
Here’s a letter from an attendee from the June 2010 A Day With Success.
“Dear Louise,
I wanted to thank you so much for taking the time out of your (what I can only guess) manic schedule to spend a day with 4 ladies who have a vision. What I have taken away from the day is more than just ideas and motivation, it is confidence and understanding of how to and where to start.
Too many conference and workshops give you motivation but no know how and how to. You and your team have truly made such a memorable impact on my direction, focus and drive to achieve that I am unable to construct it into a sentence. THANK YOU.....
I have started my business plan, planning my days and prioritising my time better to structure my company and personal future. I am looking forward to booking into another day hopefully in August to keep things rolling.
I would love if I would still be able to take you up on the offer to help with my marketing plan, as your ideas are ingenious and your experience, well that goes without saying.
Thanks again" – Kate

When you’re in a hurry….
OK – it’s your mothers voice
in your head saying, ‘you should have gone before we left.’ The very simple truth about being organised. But what happens when you are just not
organised. And you leave things to the very
last second and then you go, hang on – how do I get it there in time?
I recently did a talk in Brisbane and in holiday
mode left all my materials back at the office. Not possible to get them all re-printed, and Australia Post,
not even an option. So what could I do?
I recently spoke to an expert
on the subject Jason Egbers
from My Urgent Courier, about what
is the best and most financially viable way of getting something somewhere REAL
FAST. And this is what he had to say….
“The Freight industry is a
very complex beast. Without it, supermarkets would be empty, our stores would
only have local products and life would be very difficult. In fact we couldn’t
imagine life without it.
The only time we think about it is when we need something sent ‘yesterday’ and
we want it done for the cheapest possible price. Unfortunately, the freight
industry is already doing so much that it already has set schedules and can
include your one item but it has to fit into their schedule – not yours. The
only way to avoid this set schedule is to organise a VIP or Premium Flight
service.
My Urgent Courier allocates
the next available local courier to pick up your goods, take them to the
airport. Your item then flies to the nearest airport of its final destination.
Once it has cleared airport security it is whisked away by another local
courier and delivered. It’s that fast and that easy. “
By having 1000’s of couriers
around Australia
at your finger tips, seems to me like these boys are doing well for themselves.
Great concept and wish I had of known
about it 2 weeks ago!

As a choice to be a stay at home working
mother, I am always championing for more respect and development on a
Government level for the rights to/and of parents in Australia when it comes to entering
and exiting the workforce to bring up their children. I would like to see
a work force where children are simply a part of the way we do everything and
pregnant women, can continue to work from home or in the office where their
children are top priority. Addressing these issues was a political
campaign for Rudd leading up to his election, and I was wondering when we were
going to hear anything about it. Well, here is the first introduction to
change. The Paid Parental Leave Scheme. It's nice to see they
haven't segregated women and men from parental roles and a direct financial
support for the biggest job in the world they are about to undertake.
Monday 23
November 2009
The Australian Government is proposing to
introduce a Paid Parental Leave (PPL) scheme as part of the 2009/10
Federal Budget. The proposed scheme will be made available for parents who are
primary carers of children that have been born or adopted on or after 1 January
2011.
To be eligible for the proposed PPL scheme,
the primary carer must have:
- been engaged in work continuously for at least 10 of the 13 months
prior to the birth or adoption date of the child
- undertaken at least 330 hours of paid work in the 10
month period (an average of around one day of paid work a week).
Legislation for the proposed scheme will be
introduced into Parliament in 2010.

So far, it's a good start, however I would like to see them stop using the word "scheme". If someone said "I have a good scheme for you", one eyebrow would uncontrollably arch. Anyway, as I said it's a start, and the only person I can think of that wouldn't be happy with looking at this would be my mother. Only because she missed out with the 10 of us. Just a little bit p#ssed off! Love ya mum. ;)

Orphan Angels
Celebrating 2009 National Adoption Awareness Week Nov
16-22
As part of iBidAM.com’s community awareness and
action campaigns, I would like to talk about something that is very close to my
heart. As a parent earnestly waiting on the international adoption and
permanent care list, a foster care parent sometimes with up to 9 extra children
in my home, I would like to talk to you about a wonderful group I sincerely
care for called Orphan Angels.
Orphan
Angels was foundered by Deborra-lee Furness & Janine Weir, and
advocates for reforms through all available channels to provide children in
need with nurturing homes. They wish to raise awareness of the global crisis of
abandoned children, participate in creating a pro adoption community & illustrate
how anyone can transform the life of a child in need. They strive to
create an opportunity for each child to fulfill their birthright and realise
their potential.
So I believe it’s now time to…… TALK ABOUT
ADOPTION !
Many Australians have been touched
by adoption, permanent care or foster care. Most Australians know someone who
has been in one of these situations, who has adopted or fostered or even has
had to give up a child into one of these systems.
Adoption & foster care has touched us all at some time. However, for too
long it has been poorly understood and stigmatised. It’s time for us all
to become adoption advocates and acknowledge past practices, debunk adoption
myths, educate friends and family about ethical transparent adoption.
With a little preparation each one of us can do something...have one
conversation, discuss one article or one story within adoption awareness week,
that will inspire & create greater awareness of adoption, inter-country
adoption & foster care in Australia.
Please feel free to contact iBidAM, post a comment or
get in contact with the organisers directly if you can contribute in anyway to
raise the awareness of adoption and foster care within Australia.
