Hey Dawn
Congratulations on getting your first interview done and for getting the podcast and the pdf guide out so quickly. I didn’t listen to the audio but have just read the pdf and WOW!!!! The questions you asked and the tips Randy has been certainly eyeonpening, I really liked Randy’s perspective about the two types of marketing aims and it has even got me thinking about my own position and a lot of things with regards as to whether I should be really in this industry i.e. people business.
Well done Dawn!!!! Keep up the fabolous work and I look forward to reading more of your interview with the experts.
Catch up soon and have a great day

Hi Nigel
I’m glad you enjoyed the interview, I had a lot of fun doing it which surprised me because I was sooooooo scared (lol)
It’s a pity you didn’t listen to the audio while you was reading the pdf, then you’d hear how much fun we did have!
Yep Randy shared a lot of good content in the interview and I think the point he made about us being in the people business is soooooo true and one that people forget…
If you ever want to chat Nigel about your own position then give us a shout.
Take care matey and I’ll catch you on our last webinar tommorrow (boo hoo)

Hi Dawn,
Broken in by the Rambler! LoL
Randy does have the perfect name for his blog doesn’t he
He is easy and fun to listen to though, great job interviewing him Dawn.
Thanks Dawn for sharing this and to Randy, very informative, I will no doubt listen to it again.
Um, “we meet up for sandwiches and chips”!! The odd photo I’ve seen which has been put up on walls, it’s certainly more than tea being served up with them sarnies
Nice One Dawn

I don’t know what your on about ha ha, we only drink when Sally comes down cause she’s a bad influence (lol)
Your in the Uk aren’t you, you’ll have to come and sample some chip butties and tea for yourself – would be good to meet you.
Take care

Hi Dawn
Just listened to the Interview Audio and it was brilliant Dawn you did extremely well, and I did like the jingle
What I like about Randy is that he is so down to earth and is willing to help anybody. I will make a conscious effort to get to one the meet ups!
I really liked what Randy had to say about setting proper hours to your online business like any other business.
We can all get carried away and spend hour after hour at our computers, not having time for anything else. Family and fun time is just as important.
I have picked up some great tips here Dawn and Randy has opened my eyes to a couple of points which I intend to address.
I have downloaded the PDF Dawn so that I can read later.
Great work and well done
Catch up soon

Hi Ian
Glad you liked the jingle and hope it didn’t make you want to do one (lol)
Randy is down to earth and that’s what I like about him, he cut’s out all the hype and tells it exactly how it is…
You soooooo better get yourself to a meet up soon because you’ll love it and you will learn so much from talking to everyone!
I can’t make Decembers unfortunately but I’ll be defo going to the January one and I think Sally said she was trying to make that one too!
I think we’re all a bit guilty of spending too much time at the computer so it’s definitely got me thinking and I think I need more fun and less work lol
Thanks for popping by matey and I’ll catch
up with you soon.
Take care

Nice interview Dawn, I really enjoyed listening to this.
Full of practical tips … and that advice about having a ‘knocking off time’ is excellent, very sensible.
Fabulous job for a first interview too – you sounded very relaxed and asked some great questions.
All the best, Paul

Hi Paul
Nice to see you over here and thanks for the lovely comments.
I think it was easier and I was more relaxed because I knew Randy…
The big test will be when I interview someone I don’t know well – then I’ll be a bag of nerves (lol)
Yeah the knock off time’s a good one isn’t it and I’m guilty of not having one, so need to change that.
Congratulations on getting so high up in the auto build it launch – you did a fab!
So what did you spend your winnings on then?
Hope it was something fun.
Take care

Hey Dawn,
Haha, unfortatunately I’m not very good at multitasking so if I were to listen and read at the same time, I think I will have some difficulty there, plus for some odd reason I can sit down for hours on end reading, but if I were to sit down and listen to something, I would be nod off immediately or fidget.
I guess my attention span isn’t really too good lol. But certainly from reading, I picked up a lot of tips, and it’s given me some deep thoughts too, and I have to say not many ebooks or books can do that.
And yep will do, catch you tomorrow on the webinar – might be about 10 mins late and oh well, all good things have to come to an end, it’s only a temporarily one lol, and I’m sure Sally will probs have come up with something or will do soon….
You too take care too and have a great day/afternoon/evening

Glad you enjoyed it though and I’m looking forward to listening to your interview…
Have you got anyone in mind yet?

Hi Dawn,
Just listened to your FIRST podcast. What a GREAT interview.
You got some really useful advice from Randy. Sounds as if he’s a great bloke to know – both on and offline!
Love the design and intro for your recordings too.
What a true professional you are, but a bit disappointed…
…didn’t hear one, Wassuuuup!

You should tap him up for an interview, you’ll have a blast.
Awww thanks for the lovely words Jean that means a lot coming from you…
If I can get half as good as you at interviewing people, then I’ll be happy.
Take care misses

Dawn and Randy,
Wow what a great interview.
How I could relate to most everything that Randy was saying. It really made me think about what I should be doing now and what I am doing.
I really need to focus. I think that is so hard in an arena where “great(or maybe I should say sound great) products” or “fun things to do” are in your face all of the time.
I have become pretty good at not falling for every product that comes across the email but I still get distracted.
I really think this got me going on the right track again.
Thanks so much to both of you.

Hi DeeAnn
Your not the first and you wont be the last to loose focus…
Have you tried unsubscribing from some of the lists your on – that normally helps.
If your not getting as many emails then your not going to be as distracted and you can get on with what your supposed to be doing!
Glad you liked the interview DeeAnn and am looking forward to our chat on Skype…
Catch up with you soon

Dawn Kay recently posted..Sally Neill – What Would You Do Differently And Why?
[Reply]
Hello Dawn,
I thought I would add my pennyworth and I am so pleased you have had so many positive comments
I don’t think that will make you big-headed either – \Ha-Ha! you’re not that sort of person
Randy is himself when you interviewed him, always helpful and an encouragement for others and that boosts their enthusiasm (Including me)
Not much has been said about Sally Neil, so I thought I would mention her! It is due to ## Sally’s Teaching Methods LWS ##, (As far as I can make out), that not only you have personally progressed so quickly and professionally, down the IM road, but many other of her other students that I have been introduced to have progressed quickly – more than likely due to her teaching methods too!
Although I have spent more than a sensible amount of money on IM Study Courses, (No names), I am very tempted to sign up with Sally, due to her high rate of success stories v number of students !! Truly an amazing statistic record
I am sure nothing is going to stop you now Dawn – Keep at it Girl! You’re truly amazing!

Hi Allan
It defo is Sally’s teaching methods that have got me this far…
If it wasn’t for Sally then I wouldn’t of done the interview with Randy and I wouldn’t of been able to turn it into a podcast series!
You know how much I respect and admire her because I’ve told you often enough…
So if you do decide to join, I know 100% that it will be the best purchase you’ll ever make!
Randy is down to earth isn’t he (bit cheeky sometimes mind) but yeah he likes to help us little guys out and encourages us…
Thanks for your lovely words Allan and hopefully I’ll catch up with you at the next meet up!
Take care matey

i Dawn, I haven’t received my winnings yet from Auto Build It, one of the unknown sides of IM is that there’s often quite a delay between earning the cash and actually receiving it.
Happy to be an interview guest for you if that’s of any interest to you – just give me a shout, I’d be happy to help.

Ok…so I am leaving this comment before I listen to the interview which I am going to do immediately after.
But knowing Randy and knowing you as I do I just know (geez did I use that word enough!) this will be awesome info
The part that interests me the most though Dawn was your use of podcasting…which I will be picking your brain about! That is a huge step and one I want to follow in
Sorry about the delay in getting here…I’ve been on overload this time of the year as my outside work demands double of me and I am just too tired to get on at night.
But I am starting to catch up…
Thanks for all Dawn…you have really put all this info from the course together and you’re moving forward at a very fast pace!

Hey Dawn,
Are you sure this is your first interview? Feels like you have been doing this forever, it was so professional congratulations!
I liked when Randy mentioned he exchanged copywriting work for coaching tips from John Thornhill.
Having a mentor or access to a marketer who already is successful is one of the smartest things to do in order to save time, money and efforts when we’re just getting started online.
Really cool interview and I hope there are many more to come.
Take care and speak soon!
Sergio
PS. Nice intro!
