John Davy – Biz Network Guy

4S and other (alleged) disasters….

 

 

I woke up last Friday to the news that G4s have apparently cocked up the staffing of security, for the global sporting event in a place near Southern England  (I have not gone mad here but have noted the news on the BBC about the Brand Police that have sprung up over here) . It would appear they are some 3500 out on getting the 10,000 people needed for the security contract. (value of around £280m!) All manner of MP’s are on the news slating them down, standing on their high horses & pointing fingers….

I would like to make a couple of observations.

1. “When you point your finger at someone, you point a further 3 back at yourself” (Quote – Paul Ludford)

2. “No one incident leads to a disaster” (Quote – Allen Revell)

It is clearly quite possible that G4s have contributed significantly to their own personal disaster. The ramifications of which, will no doubt go on for some time. It is also very possible that their clients may well have contributed to the issues they are facing.

I have particularly been looking forward to this one.  Dom Goucher is a long time mentor of mine and has been behind BizNetworkGuy from the very start. English in nationality, Dom lives in Spain and is part of the team that creates the Preneurcast weekly podcast in company with Pete Williams.

I first ran into Dom on the recommendation of Jen Sheahan. Jen is a great friend of my family. We fairly regularly visit Australia and invariably stay with the the Sheahan family in Melbourne.

The very nice and very talented Jennifer Sheahan!

On my last visit some 3 years ago, Jen was just getting into the internet and working on some pay per click opportunities. In a very short period of time, Jen has become one of the worlds leading authorities on Facebook marketing techniques. Her company FBAdsLab is very fast growing organisation that represents some of the highest profile people around on Facebook. If you want to work on Facebook, then I would highly recommend you getting in touch.

Through Jen, I was introduced to “The Challenge” and therefore the legend that is Ed Dale. I would describe the Challenge as a method of learning to drive on the internet. If you have the time and the motivation, Ed and his team will get you on the road in around 14 weeks.
