Greg Barth is today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast interview. This was a man who was a great inspiration to me at the start of the show. Back when I launched I was looking around the worldwide web searching for that X factor. That thing when the person seemed to love their life as much as their job. And their job as much as their life too...in fact they combine so well that it all becomes playtime. That is when you are really cooking on gas. Well today's guest wasn't always in that kind of place for sure, as back in 2009 things were very different As he says " A very big shift happened for me on October 5th, 2009.     How The Dots Joined Up For Greg Barth That was the day I decided I want to make big changes in my life.   Fast forward to today and I am now fit, think totally different, and a divorced dad to 2 daughters after 18 years of marriage.   It’s been quite the roller coaster ride but as i look back, I now know why each event happened and the challenges that I needed to face.   Each one

The Art Of Doing Nothing It's a funny thing to think about. Doing nothing with our days. Focusing on absolutely nothing. Not sitting watching Netflix on the TV as that is doing something. Not laying in bed for a lovely lay in before getting up. But 100% switching off and just existing in your own space. Reclaiming your energy and focus, whilst losing yourself in your thoughts Is that possible in today's world of notifications, beeps and electronic seduction? Can you really do nothing all day and not be classed as some kind of mad freak? Well this week i thought i would do an experiment and discover if the art of doing nothing can be mastered. I started with something that has screwed me up time and time again.   Meditation Has Always Been a Problem For Me Over the years I have tried to meditate but have failed spectacularly. It doesn't matter when I attempt to sit there and go through the meditating motions I get twitchy. I can't get myself into that zone that i guess is the art of doing nothing with meditati

Introducing Runa Magnusdottir Runa Magnusdottir is today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast interview. Like a few of the guests nowadays, she is appearing on the show for Back then we talked about how her life changed with the collapse of her countries economy almost overnight. How she believed that so many people need to go through a downturn in fortune to find their true selves. And many other amazingly interesting conversation pieces.

Today’s guest joining us on the show, is a man who first connected with Join Up Dots looking for some help. He was trapped on the corporate merry go round and couldn't see the next step to the future that he wanted. But as we see on Join Up Dots everyday, the actual truth is he didnt need to look forward as much as looking backwards. All of us have got to a point in our life where we have had a lifetime of experiences. We had daily epiphanies and  lightbulb moments that we either jump all over, or push to the back of our minds and think "Nah, not for me....I dont know how to do it" Well today as you will hear on the show, Benjamin was in that very same position. He was working for the man, delivering huge results but gaining very little for himself. As they say he was busy building someone else's dream and leaving himself with very little time or energy to change things for the better for him and his family. However he has done this and created Sales Compass Coaching from his home in Orlando Florida Ahe he sa

Starting her life in Poland, she now lives in the South of England where her eCommerce business develops. As she says "I discovered my big passion when I launched my first eCommerce business.  It was 2007 and Google bots were still little crawlies. I was fascinated by consumer behaviour and the art of turning visitors into buyers, subscribers and followers.   How The Dots Joined Up For Maggie Tuczapska Studying this topic for years, I discovered how to use the right words, colours and images to trigger positive emotions and build trust. After recent Google updates, these skills became essential in ranking well. Great content will always beat even the best marketing strategy.
