Naomi Simson 1. Passion So much easier to capture people's hearts and mind Money is like water, it needs to flow. Its the score card "To be driven by passion is more likely to bring success than to be driven by money" Carolyn Creswell "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you" Oprah Winfrey One of her mentors said go out there. Share your story and she did on National TV What's the worse that could happen... Really and proceed anyway 2. Persistence Rowing. The crew have to be complimentary, aligned and persistent The leader is the smallest and sets strategy, course and rhythm. They were one 3. Positivity "It makes a big difference to your life when you stay positive" Ellen DeGeneres Words have a real impact on other people Instead of saying I'm busy, say I'm up to some interesting things The words you choose define your reality and your relationships Observe and watch your energy. Energy is a physical substance. "Positive words will deliver positive outlooks and positive outcomes" Consider each word as though it may be your last Live what you love "If I can do it so can you, and by the way, confidence is contagious" Janine Allis 4. Purpose A peg needs hooks. The heg What's the biggest game you could play? His sole purpose on the planet. He wants to show Australians what innovation can do! No 1 question that gets asked "I've got this idea, what should I do?" There is no easy answer Every journey starts with the first step Ready to soar Purpose comes from listening - it's about what you contribute to make this world a better place I want people to have good times to fulfill their dreams "Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine" Whoopi Goldberg 10% of Australians have an idea they want to commercialize but they don't act Have you looked at aunty Google has to say? Is there a market for it? Delivered a speech for Year 12 students in 2015 Wish bone - dreams and hope Backbone - resilience and determination, courage and persistence Funny bone - have a laugh @naomisimson #sharktank #ts2016 #redballoon #purpose #passion #persistence #positivity (at Easter Show @ Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush)

Incredibly inspired by @naomisimson story from Red Balloon as featured on Channel 10 Shark tank! Will be airing again soon! "If it's meant to be its up to me" Do you remember your very first customer who believed in you? She asked her first customer if she wanted to be on the World Wide Web back in 2001 You'll never forget the moment of your first customer who believed in you Red balloon started in 2001 when there were hardly any digital photography. no such thing as social media and Google has just started. Fax machines were used to take orders! Marketing plan on 1st April 2001 Website costed her $25K Website was known for skip intro Got so desperate that she tied a red balloon on her briefcase and walked around Martin Place Husband asked how's the project going? "No customers today but maybe tomorrow" Longest 4 months Finally made the first order Named herself Chief Experience Officer Sold their first experience for $99 for a massage Ex husband now.. Getting rich are we? First year 300 orders a year then 300 a month, then 300 a week Red balloon has just reached 3 million Wanting to grow is the first step in growing What is your Big Hairy Audacious Goal? At a seminar she asked if anybody heard about Red Balloon? People got confused with Red Nose Day. First rule of customer experience.

Like, let’s be honest, trains are cool (300+ tons of steel cruising at 60+ MPH for hundreds of miles is inherently awesome), but they’re not that cool.
