Melody Green – Women & Wisdom

Melody touched our hearts and minds with her insightful talk about Women & Wisdom.

Her talk was about her journey and the reason why she wrote her book “Soul Talk”.
Melody’s great story was one we could all identify with, the wisdom that we collect throughout our lives and the importance of passing it on.

Major discussions ensued around the group about the journey we go through in being a daughter, sister, mother etc and the challenges we face.

Her book Soul Talk is being sold through major bookstores but can be ordered from Melody directly by emailing her on Melody.Green@australianbusiness.com.au

Attendees were encouraged to write their own piece of wisdom- please enjoy some of our wisdom’s listed below;

Ask yourself “Am I doing this to please someone else or because it feels rights for me?”

• Always continue through the long journey with hope and a smile
  
• There is never too many clients
  
• Networking is your most powerful tool
  
• Look for the best of all people-allow them to help you in life and business
  
• Never burn your bridges
  
• When you feel overwhelmed, put on your walking shoes and go for a brisk walk for 30 minutes. It will give you energy and lots of new ideas will spring to mind. This works!
  
• Learn to delegate-don’t try to do everything yourself
  
• If you can’t fight your opposition, join them
  
• Never say never
  
• Treat people in business ( & in life) as you would like to be treated-with integrity
  
• If you can help enough other people to achieve their goals, you can achieve your own
  
• Don’t procrastinate…just do it!
  
• There is no greater incentive than enthusiasm
  
• Make sure you have some fun and enjoy your work (mostly).
  
• When clients email you and you are busy with something else, acknowledge their email straight away and let them know when you can do whatever it is that they need.
  
• When selling, give as you can. Always approach a meeting by asking yourself what you can do that will best help this customer get where they want to be. Give, give, give. It will come back x 10
  
• Trust your own business skills ie: your goal and vision should always be your direction
  
• Believe in yourself- you are if you can and you will be
  
• Have fun!
  
• Your “best” will vary from day to day, just keep on giving your “best”, whatever that is today.
  
• If it’s in your heart, it’s in your mind. Follow your dream-stay on track. Believe in yourself always.
