Edition
200 Monday
August 26th 2013
Hi, Crikey!, can you
believe it, you better believe it, ‘Upbeat’ edition 200 coming right at you!!
Upbeat began life as the ‘Monday Morning Motivator’ at
Hirequip back in May 2007 !! 99 editions later it was replaced with the first
‘Upbeat’ on Monday 8th June 2009
and now 200 turbo charged ‘Upbeat’ editions and over 4 years
later we are still going strong ,how Scooby Doo is that?? !!! :)
It has certainly been a roller coaster ride for this Jones
boy having experienced and more importantly survived a wide range of lifes
trials and tribulations during that time including open heart surgery and the
global financial crisis to name a couple The highlight undoubtedly for me apart
from sitting down each Sunday afternoon to share some of these special personal
and business experiences has been meeting my soul mate Christine after 50 years
of searching and having two wonderful sons 30 years apart !!!
Being ‘Upbeat’ is not something that comes naturally to me
and is definitely a work in progress. I use ‘Upbeat’ to provide me with the
discipline and focus I need as I review the positives from my previous week and
use them to create a personal ‘Upbeat’ state of mind as I prepare to face the
challenges and maximise the opportunities of the coming week.
I could not have come this far or continue on without the
regular support and feedback I get from many of you and so I consider reaching this and future milestones is part
of an overall team effort which we can all share and be proud of. Thank you for
taking the time to read and comment honestly and frankly, your objective
feedback has provided me with ideas and guidance that has challenged and
assisted me to be ‘better’……and crikey isnt that what this thing called life is
all about, you bet !!!
I look forward to continuing to share my experiences and
thoughts with you and trust that the process continues to be a mutually
beneficial one. Thanks again, take care and always make sure you remain true to
yourselves and try hard not to miss the opportunity to spend quality time with
family and friends.Don’t live life regretting you didn’t make the most of every
minute. Have a good one!!
Cheers Jonesey!!

and the Hendersons say the 200 ‘Upbeat’ editions would
be the equivalent of 1400 in the canine world WOW !!!....not bad in their
opinion,and a big thanks to their fans !!!

culture saga ….part 3
I am
overwhelmed with happiness to say that the ‘Cosy Café’ continues to exceed my
coffee and customer service expectations in every way. The food is also superb
and reasonably priced, the staff call me Jonesey and make me feel like I have
been a loyal customer for life!
I know
what you are thinking, that you already knew all this but what I want to
demonstrate to you today is that the power of keeping customers happy is not
just in having ‘upbeat’ and repeat customers, it goes deeper still than
that,happy J customers tell their friends and business associates!
I have
introduced four other people to this café and held two business meetings there
since becoming a convert. The owner James is over the moon and most
appreciative. You see happy customers are a steady and regular source of new
customers by referral so it pays to keep customers ‘cosy’ J Conversly
unhappy customers L also tell others
and prevent prospective new customers from using businesses who don’t take the
time to listen to their customers or make the effort to satisfy them !
