On October 15th bloggers everywhere published posts that discuss poverty in some way. By all posting on the same day we aim to change the conversation that day, to raise awareness, start a global discussion and add momentum to an important cause.
Every blogger has a unique voice, audience and perspective. By speaking to their readers on topic about an important issue we can discuss global issues like poverty in a new and hugely multi-faceted way. And from discussion springs action.
Thanks to some good friends of mine (Stu, Lisa and Samara), a suspicion that I have held for a long time has now been confirmed with some rare photographic proof: my 101 series is extremely popular amongst the budding entrepreneur market, specifically those under the age of two.
Many business writers like myself often overlook this strategic market, but from now on I will be actively promoting my books and seminars at maternity wards and preschools around the planet. Of course I may have to make some slight changes to the physical structure of the books – specifically making them saliva resistant, tantrum proof and edible. Nothing that my very clever publishers, Allen and Unwin, would not be able to overcome…………………watch this space for the new 101 series that will be designed by engineers, made of teflon and flavoured like stewed apples…….
Today I officially launch my new website and blog. It has been quite a task to get there, and like most IT projects now that it is finished I am ready to start again. I have endeavored to make both the blog and the website bright and colourful, with much more current information and easier to navigate features. I did get a quite a bit of feedback on my last website that it was a little dark and foreboding - those people who know me or who have been to one of my events, say that this image didn’t really represent me accurately. Now I am taking that as a compliment (even if it wasn’t meant as one) insinuating that I am much brighter and more colourful than my previous “dark night” or “joker” images showed.
Please take a few moments to browse this blog and the new website. If you have some feedback I would love to hear it. You can post a comment on this blog or email me via the website.
I would like to say thank you to the City of Cairns team – my web developers for this project. They have gone way above and beyond the call of duty and that means a lot to me. So thank you to Nicky and Kaj and your IT Army.
Kindest regards,
AG

Dear Bloggees,
You can see that my blog has had a revamp and my site is next in line for a makeover. My apologies for not posting any new blogs in the last week or so, but I have been on the road working on some very exciting projects that I will announce on this blog shortly. In the meantime, it is back to business and I will be posting more blogs in the next few days to help you build the business of your dreams.
Please feel free to give me some feedback regarding the new look of the blog – and I should have the new website up and running in the next week or so, and likewise I would love your feedback on that.
Thank you for your patience.
Cheers,
AG
Andrew Griffiths
