- #3 I didn’t understand the value of a financial adviser until those dreaded days in 2008 when the stockmarket crashed and crashed again! Felt like I was in my own nightmare – Poster Boy of ‘what not to do’. I’ve learnt a lot since then, but if I often think, if I had an adviser at the time would I have had to make 8 margin calls . <blank> GOOD NEWS. Now is best time to me marketing your business.

- #8 21-year-old female college student in Seattle from Weiner's Twitter account Send lewd pic via twitter & there was a huge uproar. He fell on sword and was forced resigned. Natural reaction – ban Twitter – avoid potential embarrassment. What if Weiner had taken a knife and stabbed the girls??
- #9 Are the knives to blame? With training knives are extremely useful in the kitchen. Without training you’re likely to cut your finger.

- #30 Does anyone here want more email? More email from people you don’t know? Email marketing isn’t dead. Bad email marketing is DEAD. $1 returns $41 ROI Dear Rich Bastard, --------- BLANK OUT SCREEN. Everyone’s got an email address? Who wants more email? From strangers..? Many of you received our 1 st EDM. Toby & I in business 12 months & we wrote to everyone we knew. Written in, double, triple, quadruple checked the spelling, HIT SEND. Sit back, breath a sign of relief & wait for the email to arrive in Inbox --- DEAR ADAM. To all 700 people. Good for the 3 Adams but terrible for everyone else! For Bluewire – it is still our best form of social. 3Ps – people, participation, promotion. Mistakes – Dear Adam, WIIFM, Prizes, In This Issue
- #31 CBA was drafting an email to go out to all their high net worth clients, and as a stop-gap measure they addressed the email Dear Rich Bastard. It got sent.

- #49 Save your questions…. ROI? Social media is about relationships What’s the ROI of answering your phone, replying to emails or saying Hi to someone. - Over time you’ll win business thanks for relationships you’ve nurtured on social media. Finding the time? -- iPhone – utilise dead time (at an airport, waiting for a meeting) -- hire a journalist -- hire a GenY – it’s second nature, not work!
- #50 Not SOCIAL bc POPULAR It’s SOCIAL because it BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS via GOOD CONTENT NOT CONTENT about you CONTENT That solves people’s problems Not WEB MARKETING on a whim It’s about a WEB STRATEGY that positions you as the only choice to do business with.
- #51 Peter’s website offer is excellent. If you went to a web firm they’d charge at least $30k. (content, design etc etc) We thought $10k, but Peter is offering it to you for even less.
- #52 Draw a winner...!
