How Extraordinary, Mr Quinn?

Voluntary Administration to Managing Director in FOUR MONTHS!!

Well welcome to Hervey Bay Malcolm Quinn!
Will you now be giving me back my $2,505 you owe me for my ticket to the Donald Trump seminar?! (Read more here.)  I’ve have been secretly hoping Karma (or the courts) would deal with this.

Wow and you’re starting a new advertising firm after putting your last one the ‘Concept Store’ in Voluntary Administration just four months ago, after racking up the below debts?

To cap off Quinn’s woes, the creditors are mounting up.

So far, just 1500 tickets out of 8000 have been sold, and those ticket holders are owed an estimated $1.5 million.

Trump himself is demanding the further $950,000 he says he is still owed, whether the tour goes ahead or not.

Sponsor Sarina Russo faces a loss of nearly $50,000. Gold Coast Convention Centre is owed $16,000. Sydney PR guru Max Marxson says he’s “sold a few tickets” to the event, but is probably going to have to “write it all off to experience”

“Think Like a Billionaire” had been badly promoted by Mr Quinn, whose background was in newspaper publishing and advertising. ………. “I think it was amateurish and unprofessional. It was obvious the promoters here bit off more than they could chew.”………..

Superior Advertising, poor Mr Quinn would be lucky to manage a chook raffle with his track record!

Anyway all the best ………. I guess I can always start a competition publication….. Mr Trump may like to buy my first Front Cover!

DO NOT CALL!!!!

OMG for the last week I must have received at least 30 nuisance phone calls!

My work phone especially but even on my home phone number which is a private number! (Nice one Telstra, what am I paying for there!)

If you are fed up like me register your number here. (Please note I have all ready previously registered on here and still am getting bombarded but I will try again!!!)

Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction says people’s thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) dictate the reality of their lives, whether or not they’re aware of it. Essentially “if you really want something and truly believe it’s possible, you’ll get it”,… click here to learn more.

The Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day…. click here to learn more.

I am a huge believer in this theory and see the effects of it in my live on a very regular basis. What you put out to the universe is what you will recieve. Only you have the choice of whether you attract good or bad into your life.

This Tuesday when our Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was in town on Melbourne Cup day for talks re our health system I put it out there to have a photo with him on my facebook profile stating, “The PM is in Hervey Bay today, hope I see him to get a snapshot!!!”

The following day we both made the front page of the local newspaper!!!! (I am the small picture top right ha ha!)

Unfortunately on this occasion I made a slight flaw forgetting to put it out there to meet and be photographed together in person, not at different events!  

Ok time to put it out there again, see how I go this time….

“Dear Jeanette, thank you so much for visiting me in New York, I am so thrilled we finally have had a photo taken together. I would love to pay for your trip! “…. lol your mate forever Donald Trump

Anne Nioa’s Technicolour Dream ‘Sign’

WTF What a waste of rate payer’s money!!!

$150,000 spent on an eyesore!

What a disaster to have a council in power that would approve to waste that much of rate payer’s money on a sign!!! ….. and then they had the hide to make it look UGLY!
OMG how embarrassing for Hervey Bay!!!

 

Councillor Anne Nioa who approved this sign states she wanted, ‘something that would represent a contemporary community’.  I’m at a lost how a sign that utilises cluttered collage design trends from the 70’s could possibly be passed off as a modern or contemporary representation of our area. 

From a Qualified & Experienced Professional Designer’s point of view:
It is far too BUSY & CLUTTERED, does not look BALANCED, the colours CLASH, the YELLOW is not part of the Style Guide The Council had designed in Brisbane!!, the word FRASER COAST is lost over the waves & far too small to be read by passing vehicles, the WHALE looks like a grade 3 student drew it & congratulations to them if they did, the structural framework is distracting (wood & aluminium) or is that supposed to be part of the design? …. and that’s just a start, pity I can’t see the whole sign in the editorial. 

Comment from Councillor Sue Brook’s blog when she saw the initial proof…. 

In the FCC today we see a depiction of the new entrance sign for Hervey Bay. I do think that community consultation would assist the development of what I believe are community signs rather than ‘Council signs’ and I do have some concerns that this particular sign is a bit too ‘busy’ and that the free standing bits and pieces won’t stand out against a varying background. 

Another comment from the blog of Councillor Sue Brooks

I noticed that the Hervey Bay entrance sign due to be installed on the Hervey Bay Maryborough Rd was shown in the weekend edition of  The Independent. While I like the general look of the sign I worry that the detail will get lost in the background once installed. I must be old fashioned as I prefer a simple stone wall and the words ‘welcome’ and ‘farewell’ on city entrance/exit signs. The sign has been workshopped through Council after being developed by Cr Nioa and the Marketing and Tourism Portfolio team. It will be a relief to finally have a sign for Hervey Bay so fingers crossed that ‘it works’. 

No you are not old fashioned Sue, you clearly have an eye for design plus the elements that will and won’t work and probably should have pushed harder for a professional & community opinion to be sought on the draft. Anyway from past experience we all know how the Council operates on these matters……. 

Oh Dear! How long till the next election………??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuel Subsidy Petition

Tell you what I’m quite over all Anna Bligh’s pre election promises being lies.

I hope all the people that voted for the ALP due to all the free money and lies they were throwing about at election time are adding up how much more it is now costing the whole population to have them in power! 

Why anyone would vote the ALP in when they already had us $64 billion in debt before the global financial crisis was even heard of is beyond me!

We are certainly paying far more than any stimulus package could possibly compensate. Greed should not override commonsense at election times as a dishonest government in power will leave you out of pocket!!! (Karma)

Stop the fuel tax petition

The State Government plans to scrap Queensland’s 8.35 cents a litre fuel subsidy from July 1 – despite specific assurances to the RACQ and the broader community ahead of the March election that the subsidy would be retained.

Combined with increases in vehicle registration of 17 to 22 percent from July 1, this extra fuel tax will cost most Queensland families and businesses several hundred dollars a year, while also pushing up the prices of other goods and services. 

With GST, it will add 9.2 cents a litre to petrol and diesel and will hit families in the outer suburbs and regional areas hardest, as people in these areas have less access to public transport and, often, longer distances to travel…. click here to read more and sign the e-petition!

Gala Charity Ball; OMG $166,000 raised!!!

The 4th Annual Forget Me Not Children’s Orphanage Charity Ball was on again last night at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island. 

I attended the Ball with Fraser Coast Regional Mayor, Mick Kruger and my friend Naomi Wood.
The ball started this year from the Marina cruising on board the Spirit of Hervey Bay enjoying alcoholic beverages on route to Fraser Island. We then proceeded to the function room at Kingfisher Bay where we enjoyed a three course alternative drop meal plus free beer and wine. 

We listened to Lars Olsen founder of the orphanage and viewed plans for the projected further development, buildings and stages involved.

This was followed by 6 live auctions raising $19K +. Quite a lot of testosterone could be felt in the room as alcohol infused men bid big dollars & egged each other on. 

20 people from the floor also took to the front stage to pledge a donation of $500 each with over a third of the people at the ball being from Bundaberg. 

As the night progressed and the drinks & dollars flowed it looked like over 80% of Stage 1 of the proposed 6 stage plan would be achieved just from the donations at this one ball! The response was overwhelming. 

I won an Award for ‘Best Fancy Dressed Female 2009′ and I wasn’t even in fancy dress, that’s how I was dressed normally!!!! (How Funny!)

Next we had an Amazing performance from the very talented Jon Stevens. I had hoped to have a photograph taken with Jon after his performance as it was mentioned he would be coming out to mingle. Disappointingly we never saw Jon again with some commenting on his appearance as being brief even though it was well over an hour far longer than he had been booked for!! (Nice job Jon!) Time flys by when your having FUN!!!! (Luckily we had snapped a couple of shots while Jon was on stage).

Once again a very professional and successful night for the Forget Me Not Children’s Orphanage team and a sensational job by organiser Debbie Haigh from Haigh’s Jewellers.

Donations
$35K Rush QLD /NT
$30K McDonalds Bundaberg, Gympie, Hervey Bay
$19,600K+ live auctions on the night
$15K Private Donation
$15K Cardno (in services to build)
$14K + Silent auctions
$13, 800K + Ticket Profit
$10K in $500 lot donations from 20 ball attendees (the 500 Club)
$5K Hotondo Homes
$2,900K +  Haigh Jewellers emerald & diamond pendant
$1K The Pier Pavillion
TOTAL RAISED $166,000.00

Ticket cost went up from $120  to $195 this year, it has not been mentioned yet whether some of this cost will also be donated.

Click here to read Lars Olsen’s Quick News.

Some more exciting news from organiser Debbie Haigh…!

a)    The final figure which was a straight donation from every ticket purchased was $107 per ticket!!!

b)    Jon was given a private transfer & a drive around the Great Sandy Straits & over to Kingfisher by ‘That’s Awesome’ which he totally loved (totally sponsored)

c)    Jon was given a private transfer off the island by MI Helicopters & they gave him an aerial tour on the way to the airport.(totally sponsored)

d)    FMN had a Chef travel onsite to cook a fantastic meal for the Ball Committee & Jon & his crew on the Friday night – It was a great night (totally sponsored)

e)    Jon, Dion & Adam (the guitarists), Tommy (the sound engineer) & Simon (his manager) were very impressed with Hervey Bay & Fraser Island. They were also very impressed with the generosity of the people on the night.

f)     Jon does a lot of charity work, but not in venues this small. He did it only because of Lars & Forget Me Not – They were very taken with the organisation.

g)    Jon had personally waived his performance fee for this event - but we still had costs from the rest of his crew, which were covered by our platinum sponsor  *‘Harris Dental Boutique’ Bundaberg & three gold sponsors *McDonalds –Bundaberg, Gympie, Hervey Bay *Bay Dental Care – Hervey Bay *ABN AMRO Morgans – Bundaberg

h)    Jons Performance – was 85 minutes

i)     Jump in ticket price included; Private transfer over & back … alcohol all night … headline entertainment plus a much larger donation per ticket from last year

Some History; Hervey Bay Public Library

The Hervey Bay Public Library was the result of community demand and positive input by the Hervey Bay Cultural and Library Council and a City Librarian, Mrs Sandra Maynes (my Mother) was appointed and commenced work in May 1977. Her role was to assist in the establishment of the Hervey Bay Public Library which opened on the 6th July 1978. Therefore my family relocated from Townsville to beautiful Hervey Bay.

Mrs Sandra Maynes was appointed Librarian and the Council is very fortunate in having such a capable and experience Librarian as Mrs Maynes to establish the library, encouraged by the town clerk and his staff with the full support of the Council.

Mrs Maynes commenced duties on the 2nd May 1978 after all the alterations were done and proceeded with due haste to obtain shelving, books carpets and furnishing and it does credit to her what has been achieved in two months.
[Info via the Commemorative Brochure from the Opening of the Hervey Bay Public Library - 6th July 1978]

1978 [Population 11,000] – The first Public Library was located in three rooms upstairs in the Council Chambers in Bideford St Torquay.

1979 – The Public Library moved to three leased shops in Turo Street, Torquay. Two extra shops were acquired and the corridor enclosed during the next three years.

1985 [Population 18,800] – The Public Library relocated to the Pialba business area in Main St. where it continued to grow.

1996 the Hervey Bay City Council commenced a partnership with the University of Southern Queensland and on the 1st of March 1997 the Hervey Bay Public Library opened its doors at 161 Old Maryborough Rd in a spacious facility of 1306m2 which housed the first joint use Community / University Library Collection in Australia. The library staff assisted in establishing the first Regional Public Art Gallery in the Wide Bay area which is also located in the library facility.

2003 [Population 45,959] – 51% of Hervey Bays Population are enrolled at the library.

Mrs Sandra Maynes was the Chief Librarian from 1978 – 1996. She has worked at both the Hervey Bay & Maryborough Libraries and currently still works part time …. (Good Stuff Mum, Very Proud of You!)

Dr Shelley Sykes “Whoo Hoo!”

This morning I attended an amusing, informative, intelligent and enlightening breakfast and talk with guest key note speaker Dr Shelley Sykes (The Happiness Guru) who is An Expert by Experience, Empowering & Educating People to Re-Learn How to Live Happier Healthier Lives.

As a Speaker she has shared the stage with Anthony Robbins, spoken to audiences of 20,000 people at conferences for the Fortune 100 and  500 Companie as well as huge international Network Marketing corporations.

Dr Shelley is a Best Selling & Multi Award Winning Author of Business, Inspirational Books, CD’s & DVD’s and was kind enough to autograph the two books of hers I purchased – Sexy, Single and Ready to Mingle & The Happiness Bug. To view or buy any of Dr Shelley’s books please click here.
10% of each product and service sold is donated to the Happy Charity Shelley Sykes’ Happiness Foundation. Currently represented in over 133 countries. 

Dr Shelley charges $30,000 an hour for her motivational talks so to have the opportunity of attending this event for $25 in beautiful Hervey Bay was an opportunity not to be missed. The fabulous event was organised by Linda Benn from Heart Light Energy a new business to the area that will be distributing a new well being magazine throughout Hervey Bay next Thursday. I will be in Fiji so can somebody please secure me a copy! A big thank you to Shelley and Linda for touching my heart and giving me new amazing things to think about! “Whoo Hoo!” Can’t wait to read my books!  

The delicious breakfast was held at Buddha’s Table (Restaurant), 486 the Esplanade Hervey Bay with what looked like at least 100 people in attendance!

I’m now officially a Master of Professional Studies!

Yesterday I graduated with more than 130 former students of the Fraser Coast University of Southern Queensland at the 2009 graduation ceremony held at the Brolga Theatre in Maryborough. This was the largest number of graduands in the 11 year history of the Campus.

I was in the first group of students to ever graduate for the Masters of Professional Studies in Australia. This work place based post graduate degree was established on the Fraser Coast.

A big thank you to Graham Young (Campus Coordinator Faculty of Business) my tutor / mentor, I couldn’t have done it without you. Your guidance, knowledge and support was inspirational. Thanks for turning my light bulb on!!!

I would also like to thank Chris Foley (State Member for Maryborough) for taking the time to see me and explain some issues I had with my study more clearly to me. That was really appreciated, a big help and got me back on track!

The staff at USQ did a wonderful job of organising the event and making sure we all were in order and our correct positions throughout the ceremony.

Hats off to USQ graduates (News; Fraser Coast Chronicle)…… click here to read more.

No Pain – No Gain or am I completely Insane!

Today I officially started BOOTCAMP in the mornings at 5.30am.

Beachfit Bootcamp – No Excuses!
It’s time for a real change. To commit to doing whatever it takes to get fit. If it’s the rewards for hard work and real results you desire from training then join Bootcamp, the military inspired health and fitness program designed to whip you into shape in just 4 weeks. 

Oh my Lordy, I am so unfit.
I sprinted, jogged, crawled & wriggled through sand, did sit ups, push ups, burpies plus heaps more till I was completely exhausted and felt like vomiting!
I wasn’t able to physically keep up with a few exercises so my buddy / partner got in trouble and punished for my exhaustion / slackness with a long run! I didn’t follow an instruction properly and wait for the command so everyone had to do push ups! I stopped to look at the beautiful sunrise when the instructor commented on it, yep in trouble again!!!
I better get it together, focus and dig deep within or I will not be well liked! (Though really, everyone is very supportive!)
It’s so frustrating to try your absolute hardest and just not physically have the energy or am I just not trying hard enough, it sure felt like it.
Once you do have the energy you are pushed harder and faster so there is absolutely no slacking off, no matter how long you have been doing Bootcamp or how fit you are. 

When I got home I had a shower and went back to sleep for an hour!
I’ll do another report at the end of the 4 week course with hopefully some positive results! 

I’m in so much pain, tomorrows session will be horrendous!

Note to self:
No Pain – No gain, No Pain – No gain, No Pain – No gain………..
(You sure you’re not completely insane!)

Success is creating the perfect customer experience every time!

Yesterday at work I received a tip off that I may soon be receiving official news that I have finally completed my masters degree. For the past two years I have been studying a Masters of Professional Studies externally which is based on your place of employment, therefore I have been analysing the expansion of Design House

The Master of Professional Studies is designed to enable professionals to engage in the highest form of authentic learning: to study as they engage in real world, real time activity; and to combine their work and study in ways that lead to benefits for both the individual and the organisation….. 

I decided some preliminary celebratory drinks may be in order and hit the town. Everywhere was extremely quiet except the nightclub which was having their Official Opening! We had been informed they had renovated and the music would be suited to people of all ages so we decided to take a look.

The infamous Seven’s nightclub in Hervey Bay has been renamed to Rumaz and has new licensees, local couple Mark and Sarah from the newly formed business Coastal Security Services who have extensive experience in the security industry. I have noticed their new security officers at several venues around town and have been extremely impressed with how polite, professional and helpful they are in comparison to the norm.

 I decided to analyse my first ever Rumaz experience, based on my experience and others feedback;

Pro’s:

1. Locks on the ladies toilet doors (first time in about 10 years)
2. Larger dance floor!!!!
3. More seating and comfortable couches
4. Caught up with friends and had a nice chat with Mark & Sarah
5. Alcohol available 

Con’s:

1. $10 cover charge ($3 increase)
2. Music was absolutely crap (so bad my friend left within 20mins = loss of sales at the bar)
3. Didn’t get to dance (main reason for attending), as I don’t do drugs I’m not interested in jumping up and down on the spot to thumping music drinking only water
4. Man handled by security officer (waiting for person giving me a lift home, my drink was snatched from my hand, thrown in the bin and my upper arm grabbed and I was pulled off the chair, hhhmmmm inappropriate behaviour at any time to say the least) 

Conclusion;
If the music catered for all tastes and if I was given the option to finish or place my drink in the bin I think I would have had “an absolute ball”…… fixing the music issue would also attract larger crowds, if every patron knew they would enjoy their experience, every time, this would in turn create positive word of mouth referral……..more dancing = more drinking = more revenue……..it’s early days yet so let’s hope the perfect clubbing experience is fine tunned for Hervey Bay patrons and our tourists……!!! 

If anyone can develop a good reputation for the club and get it pumping, lets hope it will be Mark & Sarah!!!
I might wait for some positive feedback before returning…..

Riddle for my Readers

An anonymous friend has posted me a letter that may shed some light on my earlier logo posts ….  Not that I want to revert back to this issue as I feel my point was made quite clearly at the time but the connection was never made as to who is Anne Maree Althaus and small details can play a large part in who you decide to vote for at future elections.

The Clue:

If you look up Anne Maree’s maiden name and match it up with council staff person Mary-Jane Wruck’s maiden name, you might get a ‘logo’ match.

Present from Mr Quinn, how nice…

 

 

Dear Mr Quinn,  
 

What a pleasant surprise and thank you for my lovely gift I received in the post today being a copy of Mr Trumps, Think Big and Kick Arse’ book.

 

As you must be unaware I already have a copy of this book and have read it thoroughly cover to cover and was going to ask Mr Trump to sign it when he was in Australia. I did get excited and thought Christmas had come early when I saw an inscription in the front cover thinking Mr Trump had personally signed it just for me!

 

Once getting over my initial disappointment, I was not quite sure what your inscription meant?

Jeanette,

This may help fill in your time more productively than your current pursuits

Malcolm Quinn

 

As I operate a successful business that exceeds the expectations of clients through delivering honesty and an award winning level of creative graphic and website design solutions and excellence plus am also completing a full time masters degree analysing my business expansion, I wonder what other pursuits I could possibly have time for…!

 

Once again thank you and as the book is worth $19.14 (though probably not now that it has been scribbled on) you still owe $2485.86.

 

Kind regards

Jeanette Maynes

 

Ps. if you gave me $5000 of gifts, books on Australia, Aboriginal artwork, hundreds of phone calls (actually forget the phone calls), a flight to New York and a $2.5 million contract we may have the deal of a lifetime.

Quinn says Trump is not an honorable man!

Last night when out on the town I ran into Mr Malcolm Quinn (editor of the Ipswich Independent and organiser of the ‘Trump In Australia’ seminars) at the Bay Central Tavern in Hervey Bay. While I had the opportunity I thought it best to query him as to whether he would pay the $2.5K he had charged me for the Trump in Australia seminar ticket I recently purchased that never went ahead. Mr Quinn said Trump is not an honorable man and that he owes me my money back! 

 

I told Mr Quinn I was quite embarrassed by his obvious lack of business ethic’s and what he had done to Mr Trump! Mr Quinn walked off to the bar irritated and said he had never had anyone speak to him like I had before. I said I found it hard to believe that he has over a million dollars of Australian business people’s money and no one had addressed him directly on this matter till now? Quinn told me Mr Trump had ripped the Australian people off not him…. I said I clearly remember my money going into your bank account and not Trumps. 

 

 

When Mr Quinn returned with another drink… I queried him further and had to write his exact quotes down as I didn’t want to get all the F words in the wrong places or misquote anything as I was alittle stunned! 


Mr Quinn repeatedly told me, “Everyone can get f@cked!!!!”

I said what about all the money you owe?, “Who gives a f@ck!!!!!”

I asked what about all the people who want their money back?, “They’re d@ckheads if they want their money back, go to your merchant bank provider, like I said I don’t give a f@ck”

I said maybe people’s banks don’t have refund policies for goods and services not received?, “Who gives a f@ck!!!!!”  

 

 

Mr Scott Rowe editor of the Fraser Coast Independent informed me the liquidators are currently suing Trump. (I don’t know if his statement is true or not as I can’t see the reasoning).

 

David Stimpson, Brisbane-based liquidator of the failed promotion company The Concept Store, said the contract negotiated by Concept Store director Malcolm Quinn is weighted heavily in Mr Trump’s favour. The terms include a provision for Mr Trump to cancel with no repercussions.   Click here to read more…..

 

I feel Trump will have a field day with him just for the fun of it as he can afford to!

 

I queried was nothing learnt from Trump’s book!
