We attended Goodwood on the corporate day feeling very special and privileged. The moving motor show was a true spectacle. We had been offered this wonderful treat courtesy of the exclusive car manufacturers BMW Alpina. And to make the day even more special, there was a unique track and hill test drive valued at over £1,000 in the brand spanking new B5! How did we come by this amazing experience? Our son Kyle, a besotted B5 owner, contacted Alpina head office in Germany and asked. Wow! And of course there was a fab goody bag and hospitality. Whoohoo!

You might think Kyle was rather cheeky. However, he was rather bold and prepared to accept rejection. It's amazing what happens when you ask the world to help you - it often hugely surpasses your expectations. What have you asked for recently? What would you really, really like? Well why not trying asking someone to help you get it. I believe you create your own luck in life and you can start today by asking for what you need. Importantly ask yourself, "What can I offer in return to help someone else?"
I asked my speaking colleagues and PSA fellows board members, Alan Stevens and Will Kintish for help. Both Alan and Will recommended an advanced search on LinkedIn to help me find business contacts in Australia. Well this is a long story with a short finish - the outcome is this - I currently have at least three more people to meet in Brisbane in September as a result of asking. Hopefully I can develop working relationships with these relative strangers that will allow us to help each other. Do you know anyone in Brisbane, who might like to meet to explore business opportunities? If so, please forward them this email.
