Today we are joined by the Advertising Specialist for Coaches, the Aussie Hermit himself, Luke Charlton. We talk about marketing, sales, and how you differentiate the two. He also shares the many ups and more downs he has experienced in his business ever since starting it. In 2013, Luke Charlton (AKA: The Aussie Hermit) decided to quit his comfortable 6-figure/yr government job, move halfway around the world, and start an online business as a Coach. Thinking he knew enough about marketing to survive in one of the most expensive cities in the world (London), he quickly realized this online thing wasn't as easy as it looked. Through years of trial and error struggling and nearly going bankrupt, Luke finally discovered the formula for online success now helping over 4,000 Coaches grow their business online. Along with that, he's been featured in "6-Figure Coach" magazine, spent in excess of $16 million on advertising, banked $50M+ in sales for his clients, and has been hired by top ad agencies to write copy for experts such as Bob Proctor, Mike Dillard, Neil Patel, Grace Lever, Ryan Moran and many more. Now he spends his days as a hermit living somewhere near Byron Bay, teaching other Coaches how to get a lot of clients sending just one 15-minute email per day, which he'd love to share with your audience.

WHR 3.78 : Dalene Allen
Today, we are joined by the Executive Director of BNI Maritimes, Dalene Allen. We talk about her business, how she started from just giving out her business cards to strangers to now having a wide network of people and being in the center of it all. She also talks about how she continues learning from the people she meets daily. Over 30 years ago, Dalene Allen signed up as an independent sales rep with Mary Kay Cosmetics and built a multi-million-dollar direct sales business. As both a woman and a new entrepreneur, building her business gave her experience that could be gained in no other way, and the company provided excellent training. Like any entrepreneur, she was always learning and growing as an individual and searching for ways to promote her business. This career, through connections and sales, led her to find BNI. After attending her first couple of meetings, she was immediately impressed by how organized BNI was and that members were actually giving referrals. She was also delighted to learn about BNI's core values, especially "Givers Gain," which is much like the Golden Rule. She learned so much from other members; presentation and speaking skills, business experience and advice, and a boost of self-confidence and self-esteem. It is a commitment of time and money, but as with any investment, it takes time to grow your network – but BNI is truly the fastest and most effective way to build a huge network that works for all parties. You truly get to know people, and when they know, like, and trust you – referrals do happen. After being a member and now the Executive Director of BNI Nova Scotia, she believes BNI's philosophy and core values align with hers. It is a great way to live your life and build a business. Each BNI chapter becomes a real community and builds lasting relationships. This network opens up a world to connect with other women entrepreneurs, and she believes we are stronger together.

WHR 3.70 : Dr. Steve Yacovelli
I'm excited to have The Gay Leadership Dude™, owner and principal of TopDog Learning Group, Dr. Steve Yacovelli. He talks about his main hustle, his success story and how he managed to ride through those difficult times. We talked more about his hiring process and how his experience has been having fans on his own. Dr. Steve Yacovelli has been in the leadership, learning and development, change management, and diversity and inclusion consulting space pretty much his whole career (about twenty-five years). In his consulting experience he's seen some leaders completely excel in their effectiveness, and some completely crash and burn due to their lack of competence in leadership skills. Steve's desire was to help both types of leaders be more effective, through coaching, formal and informal training, and just generally being there to support their leadershippiness. A few years ago, Steve realized that the focus on specifically developing LGBTQ+ Leaders wasn't really top of mind for many organizations. Sure, there were a few conferences sessions, some random webinars, or even university-sponsored certificate programs, but nothing in a programmatic, cross-association, and at all levels within the leadership savviness scale. In short, a patchwork of effort and not necessarily a cohesive focus or movement. So, "The Gay Leadership Dude™" was born. It's Steve's brand to "come out" and acknowledge the role he wants to take to give back to the LGBTQ+ Community and awesome Allies: to serve as a "lightning rod" of sorts to start a movement to grow LGBTQ+ Leaders and Allies to be even more effective, in a consistent, thoughtful, and mindful manner, especially those up-and-coming Leaders within the broader movement for equality and fairness for all LGBTQ+ people and well beyond.
