In this special episode (it’s spesh ’cause it’s the first of many), I monkey around (oops, I mean talk seriously) with Andrew Griffiths (Australia’s #1 small business author) to have a good old fashioned yarn about business and marketing issues, developments and current affairs that are on our collective mind. In this inaugural chat:
- Andrew suggests that someone has to be the most expensive, so why not make it you?
- Timbo is inspired by a bed store in New York that lets customers take a nap for free!
- Andrew identifies a new consumer trend called Newism (and Timbo questions it!).
- We both tackle a listener question about publicity from Sonya at Born Country Baby.
- Timbo talks about that honourable game lovingly called Bullshit Bingo!

I am not sure what episode it was – I think it was this one – you suggested accountants could provide a 30 minute Q&A available to anyone to demonstrate there style – I thought this was a great idea – I always seem to find myself being asked for free advice which I juggle between are you a potential client and free expert advice & then they go to office works instead of buying from me! At least if I did this they could see me…not sure what to call it – as soon as someone sees accountant they think TAX advice – & I don’t do TAX….but am brainstorming – thanks guys

Hey this is my update 21 hours later. I set up a schedule in GoToWebinar for 8*30 minute sessions. Sent it to my email database. Within an hour had a phone call about them…to thank me for offering them. He booked a full day training, including the purchase of 10 books http://www.LearnMYOBin7Days.com and another lady who said she could not afford me…I sent her an invite and I said come along to these sessions…and she turned around and booked 2 hours one on one consultation…plus my first registrant has signed up for the webinars…and I have barely done anything yet. thanks Tim great idea!!
Just wondering if you’d had any takers on the Bullshi* Bingo app/game – would be a great thing to have on your website Tim!

Hi Tim. I always love your show, except unfortunately I haven’t recently been taking public transport, so I am a few episode behind in my listening.
Thought you might be interested in my take on Bullshi* Bingo from an organisational elearning perspective.
