Justin Blake is the owner of Justin Blake Media , and on this episode, we discuss marketing and what you should be doing now and post COVID-19. What you do now will set you up for when we come out the other end. The biggest problem facing many small business owners is what they think marketing is, and more often than not, it's not marketing, it's wishful thinking.  On this episode we discuss: Word of Mouth Marketing and why it is flawed It's too slow You're not in control of it. The message relayed about your business could be incorrect. Social media and the internet are at our fingertips but: You need to focus on your ideal client.

Raw Worldwide African Safaris is owned and operated by Shane Ross, a Cairns local who is passionate about sharing the wildlife wonders of Africa. As Shane explains, it's virtually impossible to tell what you'll feel seeing 50,000 Wilderbeast during the Great Migration or hearing a Lion roaring in the distance while you sleep safely in your tent.

Unless you've been living under a rock you would have to have seen the latest docuseries on Netflix, Tiger King, with Joe Exotic. After finishing the series I thought there was a major business lesson to be learnt that was worth sharing. In sport, we're told not to take our eyes off the ball and there is a good reason for this, you'll drop the ball. In business, it's no different, you must stay focused on what is important and not get distracted. Joe Exotic was a very interesting character, and he stuffed up big time. Instead of focusing on his own zoo, he focused his attention and hatred towards an animal activist Carole Baskin. It was this unhealthy obsession that cost him everything and to be honest I've seen podiatrist do this as well. In Cairns, I had a similar experience with a podiatry competitor who spent far too much time on me and not enough on his own business. In the end, I prospered and he did not. (Watch the video and it will make a lot more ...

I have been trying to get my wife, Christine Franklin, onto It's No Secret with Dr T. for quite some time and today I finally managed to get a microphone in her hand and delve into the topic of working with your significant other.  The reason I think this topic is important is that both Christine and I have heard friends say they could never work with their husband or wife, they would kill each other. This always surprised us because we've been able to work together, successfully for well over twenty years and have loved every moment. Yes, we've had disagreements, but they have been few and far between, and the goal of this episode is to shed some light on why we believe we have been such a great team and continue to enjoy each others company, even after 20+ years.  If you have any questions about this episode, please email me at  tf@tysonfranklin.com .  Subscribe To My Newsletter If you'd like to keep up to date with my  EVENTS  and other activities...
