Stretch Your Mind and Body  

Connie and Charly discuss some of the new ideas that artists have come up with in relation to technology and the internet. Some fascinating ideas which might get you motivated to take your business or marketing to a whole new level. In these shows, Charly and Connie share the benefit of their experience and expertise.

Today I was on my own doing the show as Charly was not able to be here today. I am talking about Hildegard von Bingen, a German medieval mystic, artist, author, liguist, scientist, philosopher, abbess, physician, herbalist, poet, composer and activist.

She lived from 1098 till 17.9.1179. This time in history was marked by lots of changes, crusades, minstrels, the foundation of the first universities and lots of political upheaval. Nobility and Free people were the only ones who had the right to be educated. The rest of the population (90%) worked hard, toiling the fields to feed everybody and some had trades to supply the goods needed for everyday life. Politically and otherwise women were not figuring in the equation at all. Yet Hildegard von Bingen managed to correspond with the highest office bearers and was very well respected. She travelled a lot and made public appearances where whe preached to the masses.

I mainly talk about her ideas about diet and food. She also wrote some lovely music and if you are interested have a look at http://www.healingchants.com This is Norma Gentile's site and you can hear some lovely Hildegard chants there and find a translation of a number of them. Hildegard wrote her songs and most of her works in Latin.

Connie and Charly discuss the life and work of Hildegard von Bingen, a medieval saint, healer and mystic whose knowledge is as applicable today as it was then. Hildegard is a fascinating woman, well known in Europe but not so much in the English speaking world. Come and join us for a fascinating show.

Today Charly and I talked to WendyY Bailey from http://stretchyourmindandbody.com/blog/groupmastery

WendyY as she is affectionately known by her students has over 20 years of experience in the coaching, running groups and teleseminars and more recently has also completed training in NLP which is Neuro Linguistic Programming (in a nutshell NLP is about using language to positively influence our brain chemistry).

Wendy Y's passion is to help coaches, speakers, trainers and teachers to become even better at their job. Her speciality is group coaching. It is an interesting concept and we certainly can see the benefits for the participants - you combine the brainpower of many people who are all trying to reach the same goal, there is interaction which you can learn from.

WendyY presents structured material that the group works through but also leaves room for questions and interaction.  Her skill lies in making each member of the coaching group feel valued and supported and to make sure that everybody is comfortable with the material discussed and can implement it.

Today Charly and I interviewed Janet Beckers from Wonderful Web Women to discuss list building through Joint Ventures. For anyone starting out on the internet list building is crucial - "the money is in the list" - is a much used phrase in the internet marketing world. This is true, but many all too eager internet marketers view their list as some kind of ready teller, they don't bother building a relationship, don't treat their list with respect and wonder why people are not buying.

Janet refers to her list as her "community" and talked about community building. After a while the community takes on a life of its own. By doing live calls and creating events in which the community can participate creates a real "buzz" and the products created are amazing.

One of the problems new internet marketers often face is the fact that their JV partners don't promote as they promised. It is important to realise that often it is simply the fact that they are too busy and they need gentle reminders.

You can pre-write emails and send your JV partners links and banners to make their job as easy as possible. Always be clear in your mind that you are coming from a position of having something worthwile to offer to them. Always be grateful for the opportunity and the fact that they agreed to work with you.  At the same time,  don't come from a position of inferiority or feeling that they are doing you a huge favour and that you have nothing to offer.

Janet shared many more amazing insights in our interview. To visit her site, go here:  Wonderful Web Women
