Andrew Griffiths conducted a free event in Cairns called BE INSPIRED. Almost 400 people attended. The event was exceptionally well received and people left fired up and enthused about the future.

9. Every minute of every
day we are being
bombarded with the hip
term - GFC. And it is
perfect for blaming
everything on.

10. Right now we
are all guessing
about how bad,
how long, how
this and how
that.

13. What is fact and what is
fiction?

14. We are fearful that
everything will come
grinding to a stop.

16. We will all
be affected
in some way

17. Change happens
incredibly fast
these days

18. After every tough time
comes a good time.

19. But remember....

20. There are a lot of smart people doing great things in
business...far from the shackles of the doom and gloom.

21. It’s hard to be at our
best when we are living
in fear.

22. We are at a
fork in the
road - there
are two very
different
roads we can
choose.

23. OR FIGHT
SURRENDER

24. Just because
Just because
there is a
there is a
storm coming
storm coming
doesn’t mean
doesn’t mean
we are
we are
helpless.
helpless.

25. It’s time to BE INSPIRED in Business.

26. Perhaps now is a good time to take action.

27. We have to do what we
do, better than ever
before.

28. We all need to get out a lot more.

29. Don’t send yourself
broke cutting costs

30. We need to reconnect
with our customers.

31. It’s time to get creative.
We are pretty certain no tortoises got hurt in the making of this photo........but if they did, it was nothing serious.

32. And to stick our neck out to help
others.

33. Lets look for new
markets.

34. And work together
as a team.

35. There are some
people we really
need to avoid

36. And we need to keep one eye on where we are right now
and one eye on where we are heading.

37. We can’t BE INSPIRED in business if
we aren’t INSPIRED in life.

38. We get to choose our attitude - so why
not choose the right one?

39. What we focus our attention on the
most is normally what we get the
most of. We had better focus wisely.

40. It is time to get a
little uncomfortable -
that is when we
grow the most.

41. When you lay down
with dogs, you get up
with fleas.

42. To truly grow we need
to truly give. There are
a lot of people who
could use our help.

43. Sometimes we have
to let the situation
play out - it might
end up better than
we first thought.

44. Perhaps this is the perfect time to do
some of the things you have been
putting off?

45. Reflecting on what we have, not what
we have not, is a good thing.

46. Celebrate much more
often and much louder.

47. Remember, whatever
happens right here,
right now, this is only
one chapter in your
entire book of life.

48. Does this stuff really
work? It sounds too
flamin easy to me.

49. If you aren’t sure, look
around you at the people
who succeed in business
and who have big lives.
What makes them
different?

50. They are passionate
When they get knocked
down they get back up They never give up
They can laugh at It’s not just
themselves about the money
They are 100% committed
They look after
They love what they do themselves
They find solutions not They look after
problems others
They build great networks They do what it takes

51. So you can keep
listening to the
DOOM and GLOOM
or do something more
proactive...

52. Tomorrow is a
brand new day.
Now is the time
to decide what
attitude you are
going to be
taking with you.
