I have been thinking about my mum, Mary, a lot lately. Thankfully, she is still alive at 81 and even though ageing and more fragile, she has still retained a sharp, focused mind and sense of humour.

Until she retired, mum was a successful businesswoman – quick with numbers, stylish, kind, a fabulous cook, a generous loving mother to four children and she had an innate talent for entertaining people and building relationships.

Growing up, I used to think she was a Superwoman, especially watching her juggle family and business. One thing I know for sure is she is definitely my hero.

Here's what she taught me about business and life. You can read about the key lessons here.

"My mentor said, 'Let's go do it', not 'You go do it'. How powerful when someone says, 'Let's!'" -- Jim Rohn

Most business owners feel they have to figure things out on their own.

Imagine what it would be like if you had access to a leading expert, who you could contact to ask for advice. 

Imagine if you had a way to achieve extraordinary success especially when you feel overwhelmed, are at crossroads and need to make sound business decisions faster.

Studies shows that 60% of business owners who have a mentor will survive business longer than those who don't and 25% of those experience business growth.

One of the reasons I started my business in educational events 27 years ago, is because I wanted to learn from the BEST. Since then I have represented and learned from 110 of the world's top speakers and thought leaders.

I have been thinking about the great learnings I've had in the past 3 decades in business as an entrepreneur.

I am privileged to have represented over 100 of the world's top speakers and I have modelled what makes the very best of them successful.

And, I implemented these strategies and behaviours over time.

If you think about it we have a culture of events. If you go to a party or even on social media, the buzz is often about the launch date for a new Apple product, a big name concert, a sporting match or a party. Whatever the event is, it has a date and a place where a gathering takes place.

Oprah recently held sold out events in several cities in Australia to packed halls and stadiums, to share her message of empowerment and to continue to build her massive brand.

The Music industry have been running events and filling stadiums for years and this is a main source of income for many artists. Tesla used the power of events to launch it's new model X.

Can you guess what it is? Before I answer, I have a few questions for you to consider...

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you’re not alone.
