Hi,in order to ‘keep up with the Joneses’ you need to ‘run
the gauntlet’ daily! Swimming in public pools is a perfect example of the
commitment required to ‘keep up’.In the last week I have picked up yet another
strain of the latest bug and whilst my immune system was busy battling that on
all fronts some low life stole my strides complete with my new designer belt
and all! Crikey, what does a supreme athlete have to do to get a trouble free
training break from the office?I am pleased to report that I am on the road to
general health recovery and that after chasing the thieves in my underpants and
towel I was able to apprehend them in the car park to successfully retrieve my
pants!I eventually saw the funny side of all this when I was attempting to
explain it to Christine as she laughed a lot! J

says; I should have called Policeman Plod to apprehend the naughty
Goblins and not taken it upon myself to chase them into the dark dark
forest!.....from the mouth of babes!
I like a coffee and a cosy place to indulge in my daily
passion.If I am not at home with our trusty Breville(still going strong)
enjoying my Muriwai ‘Millers’ special then I can be found in my home away from
home Onehungas ‘Cosy Café’.Owner James(nice dude) and his friendly team deliver
an ‘Allpress’ special with love,affection and the compulsory jaffa duo to cap
off the experience.They care and it is noticeable these days with too many people
owning cafes who seemingly don’t. Cosy is packed most of the day with people
like me who appreciate and recognise good service with a smile J.
I hope you are all healthy and
getting the most from life,have a good one…….Cheers Jonesey!!!

fix,chew bones are permanent!

Opportunities often come disguised as hard work which is why
so many miss or avoid them!
Never saying no to an opportunity to advance or benefit is
the key to growth and progress.
No advance is ever made even from worse to better without
inconvenience!
I am always looking for opportunities to advance and enhance
my brand.
More often than not this comes from advancing brand Green Gorilla however not always.
Recently I MC’d a conference and got an amazing chance to
enhance my personal brand!
As a result of this I have been lucky enough to score a small
gig assisting a large international learning organisation as a ‘communications
expert’!
Crikey as hard as it is to get my head around sometimes there
are actually people out there who value my opinion about their stuff!
Its not till I do this that I realise how much knowledge I
have accumulated and observe how useful that can be to others when shared with
enthusiasm and passion.
It is a buzz to be able to impart ideas and have them adapted
and incorporated by individuals and teams who are seeking to make an impact in
their respective fields.
The reality is that stuff I have worked hard to be good at
and better at all my career actually has value to others.
Communication skills I have honed and practised are sort
after by others who want to be the best they can be in front of their people
and their customers…….WOW.
I get as much if not more from meeting others and sharing
ideas that empower and transform.
What I am doing is not extraordinary or something I am
egotistic about.
It is something I am humble and thankful for the chance to do
and by extending myself outside my comfort zone I am living the dream of doing.
My message to you is that if you have something you have
always wanted to do but have held yourself back then there is no time like the
present to have a crack and let yourself go……..good luck.
“In the middle of
every difficulty lies opportunity.” Albert Einstein
