DOES YOUR PROPERTY PASS THE TERMITE TEST CANBERRA?

http://a1pestcontrolcanberra.com.au

Many the pests we treat are seasonal but not termites who bury underground and head for their food source which is wood.

They will tunnel towards your property and surface close to water or dampness making mud tracks which will lead them to inside your property where they will go undetected all the while they are chewing around the door, roof and timber supports.

Recently in Kambah, we showed a tree that had a termite nest a tree on the nature strip while the workers were in the nest the soldier termites were looking to start a new nest in the property diagonally across from the tree.

By the time that termites were discovered (by a tenant falling through the wooden floor) they had eaten around the door/window frames of the front of the house.

TERMITE TEST

[] Do you have annual termite inspections?

[] Is there a pile of wood near the house or garage?

[] Is there wood beams or pergola that touch the ground?

[] Have you got a tree stump on or near your property?

[] Any damp or hard to get to areas under your house?

The old saying prevention is better than cure book a termite inspection TODAY for peace of mind. Thermal imagining will pick up termite body heat and movement long before they are seen.

Should you require a termite barrier we are one of only a few preferred applicators of Termidor who give an 8 year $2M assurance that you won't have termites come back.

Skills Are Cheap Passion is Priceless

I want to get very real with you and share my life’s story. I am going to take you on the journey from the very beginning of my childhood on up to the point of where I am today. The reason I am sharing the raw and honest details of my life is so that you can understand that success is not determined by your past.

Behind every successful person out there is a story filled with devastation, determination, pivotal moments and raw emotions. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done, it is your passion. Skills are cheap, anyone can learn how to do something, but it is your passion that is simply priceless.

Devastating Things Happened in My Life

In my book, Skills Are Cheap, Passion is Priceless, I show you snippets of the devastation and tragedy that I dealt with as a child. I talk about my drug addict father, my amazing mother, my caring grandparents, and the dad that raised me.

Later on in the book, I share about my struggle with bulimia and self-esteem. For many years, I allowed the way I looked to dictate every choice I made.

I’m not the only one that had devastating things happen in my life. Brian shares about the death of his father and how that put him on the path he took in life. He talks about the way his dad lived in his final years, made a lasting impact on him.

I’ve Always Been Determined

For me, I always had to be the best. I would never allow myself to be less than the best. So I put a lot of pressure on myself. Many people fall into this rut. They either stay in the bottom because they feel as though they can never achieve, so they don’t try. Or they are at the very top, and you can never go any lower, you have to work super hard to stay at the top all of the time because anything less would be like losing.

My Pivotal Moment

You might have heard my story of how the pivotal moment I experienced in my corporate job. The day I decided that I would never put my children in daycare. From that moment on, I knew my why. I made a vow never to put my child in daycare, all I have to do is look into her eyes and my commitment to the WHY is stronger than ever. What is your WHY?

I Became an Online Marketer

Back when I started in online marketing, we didn’t have half of the resources that we have today. Social media wasn’t even a thing, blogs were just beginning, and people were just starting to tap into the power of internet sales.

I Googled how to work from home and found so many resources. It was then that I knew I had found the way to do what I set out to do. Although…I had a lot of learning to do.

Grab your copy of my book now- Skills Are Cheap Passion is Priceless.

Learning The Hard Way

As with anything that you put your focus to, good or bad, you start to see examples and signs of it everywhere. One call back list in particular caught my eye and I decided to leave my name and phone number on it to get more information.

I put in my email address and a woman called me to tell me about the business. She asked me why I wanted it, but she was a really poor prospector, I just wanted her to get to the point. There I was, my ego was so big that I didn’t even want to listen to her, I just wanted to bypass her and get to the information. When in reality I needed that woman so badly, I needed the movement that she made, I needed her energy, and that is exactly what people do in business, they want to skip over the important stuff, which is what I did.

If only I had known that mentors play such a huge role in success. It’s not enough to just read and learn. You need someone that is 4-5 steps ahead of you to help guide you.

Business Deals Gone Bad and Finding Mentors

Sure, Brian and I were super successful in our online ventures for a while. We were bringing in unbelievable amounts of money. But then…we lost it all. Since we hadn’t brought mentors into our lives, we made really poor business decisions.

The fallout from that choice wrecked us. We were hurt and struggling. This one interview with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer radically changed our lives.

Here’s what they said-

No one can make you upset, depressed, hurt, anxious, or fearful without your consent. The worst things in life turn out to be the most important steps that you need to take, in order to get to the next place in your life. The highest place you can get to with this individual is to practice forgiveness, instead of revenge & anger”

My Mantra

Their words meant so much to me. From that day forward, I decided to change my mindset. I developed regained my confidence and developed a manta.

Every single day, I wake up with a mantra, and I talk to myself. I either look in the mirror, or I sit and say, “Rhonda, you are an incredible leader. You inspire people to do great things in their life. You show them that everything is possible. You help more families be free. You must show more families how to get to building a life that they love.” This is the essence of belief. When you have a mantra that you tell yourself, you are teaching your brain to believe in the life you want to create for yourself.

Remembering My Why Has Made Me Unstoppable

When I started my job and said I’ll never put my child in daycare, that I was going to live out this day, perfect day, every single day, that I was going to quit my job and replace my income, I wasn’t going back. There was no plan B. That was my vow and my commitment, and she, Hanalei, became my WHY. Everything I did fueled me to get me to that next step. Everything I did I did because she was my WHY and it was robust enough to keep me motivated and disciplined. I became Unstoppable!

When you wear the word unstoppable, you hold an armor that tells you that you can. It reminds you every day to be unstoppable. Being unstoppable needs a strong ‘WHY.’ Once you have worked out your WHY everything is possible.

If you want to hear more about Brian’s and my journey, snag a copy of my book, Skills Are Cheap, Passion is Priceless. I will take you through our life and share with you the practical tips you need to develop a successful business while you live out your perfect life. Read more..

Color Psychology and What it Has to Do With Branding

Color is extremely important in branding your business. When someone looks at a logo, the color is the foremost thing that they remember. In fact, according to Color Matters, 80 percent of visual information that we take in is related to color.

Why Color Matters

According to the research that was conducted by the secretariat of the Seoul International Color Expo, they found that-

92.6% of consumers say that visual factors influenced their purchase decision

5.6% said that touching the product had influence on their decision

0.9% said that smell had anything to do with their decision

They determined that anywhere between 62% and 90% of purchases are made based on color alone.

Branding Identity

The color that you chose has everything to do with your brand identity. Color increases brand recognition by up to 80%.

Many brands have sets of colors trademarked for protection against other brands in the same market. For instance, Coca-Cola has its iconic red and white scheme protected. Lots of others have single shades of color trademarked too, like John Deere, McDonalds and Starbucks.

These brands try to associate themselves with their color at a fundamental level. To achieve that sort of recognition, brands have to peg their signature color to nearly everything—marketing, packaging, uniforms, store decor and more.

So when you hear one of these brands’ names, it should be easy to think of its color. What about your brand color or imaging?

Can you be identified over anyone else ? This is what all marketers and personal brands should strive for. To create a USP (Unstoppable Sexy Positioning) for your brand that your customers recognize throughout your whole sales process.

Increase Engagement

Ads that have color are read up to 42% more than the same content in black and white. It also can improve the ability for your audience to read and comprehend your content. Taking learning styles into account when building ads is highly important. If you have written something or presented it in a way that they cannot understand, you are wasting your time.

Color Psychology

Take a peep below at the psychology of color when developing your brand.

Red- Energy, Passion, and Boldness

Orange- Health, Wealth, and Youthfulness

Yellow- Joy, Energy, and Warmth

Green- Growth, Balance and Well Being

Blue- Peace, Confidence, and Serenity

Purple- Royalty, Luxury, and Success

What Colors and Styles You Wear Is Part Of Your Branding

During the first Media and the City event, we brought in Brian Cook. He’s a stylist with many prestigious clients. He gave us many tips about what to wear on camera to represent our brands well. Colors had a lot to do with his suggestions.

Brian estimates that it takes 1/10 of a second for a person to assess your competence and trustworthiness. The colors and styles you are wearing is a big part of your message whether you realize it or not.

Implementing color psychology into your wardrobe is an important part of your branding strategy. This is important to think about when you are creating promotional materials and videos.

Color is one part of your branding strategy. If you are interested in learning more about becoming fully branded from start to finish, be sure to check out the Freedom-preneur Academy.

Dutch Nomad Family Adventures

Dutch Nomad Family Adventures. Dubai in the United Arabic Emirates is a fantastic holiday destination. The Dutch Nomad Family visited the Middle East for the first time. Cultural and architectural a whole new experience and we all loved it!

The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. Your kids will never forget this one! It is 829 meters high. The elevator brought us to the observation deck on the 124th floor at 456 meters within 1 minute! And when the doors open: Wow, you are on top of the world, the city, teeny tiny cars, the sea and the desert around Dubai. Isis and Thijs were fascinated to see all the construction projects going-on and were amazed that it’s all built on desert sand.

Being at the right time at the right place, in front of the Burj Khalifa at sunset there are spectacular dancing fountains and light show. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors, it is 275 meter long and shoots water up to 150 meter into the air accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. That was impressive.

The aquarium in the Dubai Mall, the largest mall of the world, was definitely worth the visit. It is really big and there is also an underwater zoo. There was a King Crocodile, weighing a whopping 750 kilograms and measuring over 5m in length. Its head alone is more than 150 kilograms! And we never can get enough of seeing Nemo.

Isis and Thijs also visited the Atlantis Waterpark on the Palm Island. The aquarium is really beautiful. The waterpark is awesome as well but we ran out of time. Palm Island is an experience on it’s own. And the kids remember vividly seeing the only 7 star hotel Burj Al Arab. Tom and Inge spent a full day in the Burj al Arab hotel and that was an absolutely awesome experience on all fronts.

Ski Dubai is and indoor ski center for skiing, snowboarding and a penguin encounter.

It is fantastic for kids to meet the penguins and they are able to feed them. They like fish and that’s what they get at Ski Dubai. There is two types op penguins, the Gentoo and the King penguin. Gentoo penguins are the third largest penguins, with a height of 60 to 75 centimeter. The King penguin is bigger, 94 centimeter. Ski Dubai is fun for the whole family.

In the old part of town, we strolled over the spice souk and gold souk. The quantity of gold and all its formations blew us away. The sellers are very friendly to kids and it’s a great place to buy your souvenirs. And then we made a boat trip over the Dubai Creek to a traditional Arabic restaurant, with sunset over the Creek.

A Gold class (first class) ticket in the Metro allowed us to sit in the first cabin of the metro, with a huge front window to see the whole skyline of Dubai in front of us and passing by as we travelled back from the old part of town to Al Barsha. The metro ride was an experience in itself.

Dubai also has Kidszania, an all time favorite for Isis and Thijs. Children can try around 50 different professions and get trained to use the equipment and to follow the instructions. Whether it’s to be a surgeon, a driver, a pilot or a kitchen chef. Look around for Kidszania in each big city in Asia; the concept is fantastic.

The Dutch Nomad Family had a fantastic time in Dubai.
