Yesterday I had the opportunity to chat to Joel Therien over Skype, and YES, I did manage to record it…

Thank Goodness!

After  all, as nice as he is, the CEO and Director of GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities) has responsibilities and I know he’s busy…

…VERY busy.

There seems to be something about me and recording those people most difficult to get hold of though. 

It has nothing to do with me being nervous about speaking to people whose financial success far exceeds my own, because I’ve inherited my grandma’s beliefs about money.

She’s an incredible ninety-six year old with a mind as sharp as a razor and the self-confidence of knowing money doesn’t make a person any greater or lesser than her.

We’re all the same underneath.

As Frank Sousa told me in a recent interview, the fact he’s a multi-millionaire, doesn’t make him any different from anyone else.  He still gets out of bed one leg at a time and puts his pants on the same way.

There’s a thought!

Joel , as I said is the brains behind GVO  Virtual Opportunities),and if you haven’t heard of it yet, believe me you will.

It’s hotly predicted to be the next Fortune 500 company, and whilst we all know these companies come and go, there’s no doubt in my mind, GVO is here to stay.

Apart from providing powerful, reliable generic tools everyone who does anything online wants and needs at a price people can afford, it also has amazing FREE training on how to use them, plus phenomenal live support, 24/7, three-hundred and sixty-five days a year, and YES, three-hundred and sixty-six if it’s a leap year!

I especially love the GVOConference facility which I use to communicate with my autistic son.

Anyway,  Joel kindly gave up some of his “family” time for an informal chat with me yesterday, and during our conversation, revealed much about himself.

He told me what drives him and why he really drives that red Ferrari.  (No, ladies, he’s NOT having a mid-life crisis)!

It was an enjoyable conversation and one for which I’m very grateful.

It has ended the year on a high and if you’d like to listen to it, please go to his page on my site

Another thing you may wish to do is consider the things you could be grateful for because as this message on my calendar revealed

Experiencing gratitute without expressing it is like receiving a present and not unwrapping it!

Today, I was very grateful for being able to take my son on the Mince Pie Express.  He loves trains and this was a short train ride across country during which we were served a glass of sherry and a mince pie, or orange juice and a chocolate biscuit.

(Actually, we received two helpings – one on the outward journey and the other on the return, so today I am doubly grateful!)

I’m also grateful that out of all the blogs in cyberspace YOU managed to find mine, so let me take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones, health, wealth and happiness in 2011.

I plan to take a couple of weeks off now so my hope is you stick to your resolutions if you make any and may buy augmentin all your dreams come true!

Best wishes and take care,

Jean

P.S.   Don’t forget to listen to my interview with Joel Therien! GVO is one of those rare companies whose products I would gladly recommend to my family, friends, and YOU too! You never know, it could be just what you need to make 2011 a very happy and prosperous New Year!
