Thank you all !!! About Rowan: Rowan Bo is meditation instructor and art therapist in Brisbane. She has been an Australian lifelong extraterrestrial contactee since 1980 when she was only 8 years old. Rowan has had continuous unearthly experiences with at least three species of alien beings who had tracked her on her travels into different countries and throughout Australia. Now, a disclosure advocate, Rowan has been featured on many online interviews and she also shares her experiences in live onstage presentations. Rowan Bo is an active volunteer in the Australian community. Online, she shares news and other articles to help authenticate the information surrounding UFOs and ET contact, and to help bring the message to the world that 'We are not alone'. About The Book: "The Travellers, An Experiencer's Guide to Extraterrestrial Disclosure" is about Australian experiencer, Rowan Bo's remarkable true story of 40 years of contact with 3 different species of alien beings, who called themselves The Travellers. Journey with her through memories of decades of her contact experiences to discover what it feels like to be onboard ET craft. Rowan Bo tells of the difficulty dealing with the stigma and trauma of extraterrestrial contact. Learn about the high strangeness which goes along with abductions from The Travellers. Her insights into Non-Human Intelligence and government disclosure expand into a spiritual understanding and give a unique perspective into the UFO phenomenon. Travel with her as she learns how to live as an experiencer and eventually embraces the spiritual knowledge she has learned from ET contact. She also provides spiritual exercises in how to experience psychic phenomena for yourselves. Jam packed with testimonials from other Australian experiencers – Barry Taylor, Peter Khoury, Damien John Nott, Vivienne Pope, Andrew Lindley, Ruth Perry; and foreword from author Preston Dennett and artwork from Christine Dennett, you will find this book to be a valuable resource. This book is written for experiencers of all kinds of phenomena, not just extraterrestrial. “Rowan takes the reader on her own personal journey, showing with fascinating detail what it's like to be in direct contact with extraterrestrials… It is also an educational guidebook, providing the information and tools needed to understand the nature of extraterrestrial contact, and to move beyond fear and confusion to understanding and truth.” – excerpt from foreword by Preston Dennett (UFO researcher) Book Link: "THE TRAVELLERS, An Experiencer's Guide to Extraterrestrial Disclosure": https://a.co/d/d0WowRW Link to the speakers at Australian UFO Festival: https://australianufofestival.com.au/c-files-forum Links to UFO Radio on 4eb: https://open.spotify.com/show/4fMCMisu6kJe08xFXT6HIo?si=OI9uFUR2RO-ddQ8PXl_jnA https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ufo-radio/id1714939908 Link to Facebook Group UFO/UAP Disclosure Australia: https://www.facebook.com/groups/519338456831780/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

After attending the recent REBAA conference, they share firsthand insights into how technology is already being used, sometimes effectively, and sometimes dangerously.

Register here for my free masterclass: Unlocking Your Stylists' Potential: The key to boosting Productivity and Profits in Your Salon, or head to www.GrowMySalonBusiness.com/masterclassIn this week's episode, I'm joined by Australian salon owner and stylist, Mikki Auld. Earlier this year, Mikki left her Brisbane salon in the hands of her team and took a huge leap, moving to Los Angeles to start over from scratch.Within no time at all, she was fully booked, not because of luck, but because of hustle, grit, and sheer determination.We talk about why she made the move, how she built a client base in a new country with no connections, and the strategies she uses to keep her Brisbane salon thriving without her being there day-to-day. I love a bit of hustle and seeing people get out there, build their book from scratch and doing that in another country, when you don't have a social network, takes courage and a lot of self-belief.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:29] Mikki's move from Brisbane to Los Angeles [02:36] The O-1 visa process and making the leap[06:24] Why LA was the right fit and finding a salon space[09:55] Getting licensed in the US[12:13] The power of hustle: flyers, posters, and ads[15:44] Building clients through Meta ads and old-school marketing[19:17] Starting over: what it feels like to build again[22:20] Differences between the US and Australian salon industry[25:00] Pricing, tipping, and client expectations[26:00] Running her Brisbane salon remotely with systems and leadership[34:54] Lessons from building structure and management teams[37:51] Learning from US salon culture and service standards[44:00] Employee entitlements vs US benefitsWant MORE to help you GROW?

At the age of sixteen, I was wandering around the streets of a lower working class area in the suburbs of Brisbane, working my first job, trying to sell expensive Encyclopedia Britannica to the punters who lived there.  Despite my callow youth, I had a tremendous gift as a salesman.  I could tell by looking at the house from the outside whether they were interested or not in buying Encyclopedia Britannica and so could determine whether I should knock on their door or not.  I was saying “no” for the client.  Obviously, I had no clue what I was doing. The only training we received was to memorise, word for word, a twenty five minute pitch for the buyer, synchronised with showing the flash looking pages inside the encyclopedia.  I am sure though there are many much older and wiser salespeople out there, still making that fundamental error I was making.  Eventually, I discovered I didn't have any x-ray vision gift. I was just an idiot.  There will be plenty of opportunity for the buyer to say “no”, so we shouldn't be joining in to support them on that quest. Even before the call, we will have anticipated some potential pushback and we are fully armed and ready to go when it emerges.  I was reminded of this x-ray vision into the buyer problem recently.  The top salesperson of an organisation I know, said “no” for the buyer.  He was an intermediary for me with the client and didn't like one of the conditions of the sale I was proposing.  This was an important source of his commissions for him and they had been a big buyer over a number of years.  He had them wrapped up in cotton wool and was extremely nervous about maintaining the relationship. I have learnt the hard way and so I don't believe in saying “no” for the buyer, so I pushed it.  I rejected his rejection and told him to put my request to the client.  We got into an elongated email wrangle over this, but not only am I dim most of the time, I am also supremely stubborn, especially when it comes to sales.  Stubborn and dim is a lethal combination. He didn't like it at all, but he held his nose and put my proposition to the client. Guess what? They went for it.  As we say in Japan, “even the monkeys fall from the trees” and even Mr. Number One sales guy can get it wrong.  I refrained from mentioning that Japanese proverb of course or being a smarty pants and just thanked him for his cooperation. One common case of saying “no” for the client is when the prices are raised for the product or service.  Salespeople invariably will start whinging to the boss, that the client will never agree to buy at that higher price.  Effectively, they are saying “no” for the buyers.  There are many ways to dilute the pain of raising the price.  The terms of payment can be elongated.  The guarantees and warranties can be expanded. The rise can be counterbalanced by discounts for volume purchases.  The proposition can be ramped up on the value equation scale.  Additional incentives can be packed together with the original offer to justify the price rise.  Services can be thrown into the product purchase process to make it more palatable and vice versa. Interestingly, salespeople complaining about the price increase, spend zero time thinking about how to sell the value increase to the client. Price increases are one thing, but defending existing prices against discounting is another case of having to say “no” to the customer. In Japan, salespeople are very weak in front of the customer.  The buyer here isn't King but GOD and GOD doesn't brook hearing “no” from salespeople.  The constant complaint from our clients is that their firm's salespeople identify too closely with the client and don't defend the company's policies well enough, including pricing.  I had the same problem with one of my salespeople.  He was happy to discount and take a lower commission, even though the firm made very little profit.  He got his base salary and some commission, so he was happy.  I wasn't so happy. I get it - the logic is simple.  The salesperson heavily invests in the relationship with the buyer and works hard to defend that relationship, even against their own employer.  This sounds crazy, but they know the value of an existing customer, compared to the pain and effort to find a new buyer. This is where the value element has to be worked on more, so that salespeople can justify the existing pricing, without resorting to discounts to get the business.  The basic sales skills of the team have to be improved, especially their communication skills.  This don't say “no” for the client arena, shows the real capabilities of the salesperson.  Sadly, there is a major population decline underway here and salespeople are in increasingly short supply.  The quality of the people we can hire isn't going to improve, so our sales training mechanisms and our sales leadership mechanisms, become even more important than any time in the past.  Are you ready for this and are your people ready to say “yes” for the buyer?
