Greetings from Dubai,

My visit here over the last two weeks has been incredible, as I now fly back home. But first, thank you for acknowledging the content of last week's e-minute on the sales follow up statistics. I had so many e-mails on that e-minute, that it has inspired me to get back on track with weekly e-minutes.

I have a lot to share with you.

Please continue to give me your feedback. I need to know that I am providing you with value. If not, I am only wasting your time and that is the last thing I want to do.

While in Dubai, not a day went by without speaking to a group, or two or three. There was in-house sales training for the sales teams of my close friends, who will always be here to accommodate me, and I will always be there to accommodate them. Thank you Michael and Shujaat.

There was also a number of keynote talks, some for social responsibility such as Unleash Your DNA, others for networking such as BNI, others to take on self reliability, such as Get out of the Rat Race in One year, others for professional development such as Hot Hoteliers and the highlight of them all, Heels and Deals - the ultimate network for female entrepreneurs, where I was privileged to speak to over 150 female entrepreneurs who are out to change the world, and we all know they will, and I will be there for them every inch of the way.

Check out this five minute video on Heels and Deals.

Also, I invite you to listen in on a live conversation I had with a fellow Canadian and University Professor in Dubai, James Piecewise , on Dubai Eye Radio. Thinking and being a better you!

Above all, I am thankful, not just for the opportunities to speak, for all of the new friends and subscribers in Dubai, but for my existing friends, fellow speakers and for my agents Right Selection - Mr. Ram and his son Gautam and their team.

Thank you for allowing me to share my disciplines, in life, inspiration and sales with your network.

I look forward to returning in November and sharing my passion with others in Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Pakistan and elsewhere in the Middle East.
