Christchurch Crumbles...

Tonight my heart is broken for the friends and family affected by the tragic earthquake in my hometown. Scores dead with far worse news to come. I have missing friends and family...my prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Not entirely appropriate but the girls of Madison Violet perform a personal favourite in the previous post that sums up my mood as I write this. I hope you get some joy from it, I always have and take some solace in it tonight. Kia Kaha Christchurch.

V8's Back in action...

The V8 Supercar series kicked off in the Abu Dhabi over the weekend with a fantastic second race which culminated in defending champion James Courtney taking the chequered flag ahead of Jason Bright in the Team BOC Holden. The disappointment on the face of team principal Brad Jones was there for all to see following Bright's second place as he was fighting to record their first ever V8 win. It would have been fantastic to see him cross the line first but Courtney carried too much speed. Bright later admitted that his tyres were going off , which the tv viewing audience would have noticed as he slid around corners trying to hold off Courtney.

Courtney pressed hard in the final laps with the lead swapping a couple of times in the process. It made for great viewing and is the best possible start for the year. Having walked away from the Dick Johnson Ford team after claiming the title at the final race of last season, Courtney will be thrilled to stake his claim so early on in the piece. His team mate, Garth Tander was not so lucky after being hit by a spinning Tim Slade as the field bunched for the first corner. Carnage ensued after Tony D'Alberto ran out of control and caused the mess.

Team Vodafone scored the first race win with Jamie Whindcup finishing comfortably on the top step of the podium. Teammate Craig Lowndes suffered damage from contact with Russell Ingall and thereafter struggled to do anything noteworthy.

All in all the series got away to a flying start. I can't wait to see them home and settling into what has proven, year in year out, to be a great series.

Private Investigations Wide Bay Burnett

DRM GROUP provides specialist Investigation services for the Hervey Bay/Maryborough region. In fact we cover the region from Gympie in the south to Bundaberg in the north with inland locations also catered to. We will also attend to Investigations at more distant locations on request following consultation, which I offer for free and with no obligation to you.

We have been providing personally customised Investigation services throughout this region for more than 5 years now and our skilled Investigator's are all based in the region they cover, ensuring excellent and current local knowledge.

Demands for our services include infidelity - where a husband or wife suspect their partner of not remaining loyal to the marriage. DRM GROUP takes pride in our professional, and discreet approach to these issues which are always stressful for the parties involved. Often however, the suspicions prove to be unfounded, but that is a welcome result for everyone. The investigation can be tailored to your exact requirements, although privacy issues and locations can largely determine the success of the operation. Privacy has never been more protected so you should be aware that I cannot offer a guarantee of a result on some matters. Call me to discuss your issue to learn more if you are at all unsure.

Fraudulent behaviour, which often can include Compensation claims are the bread and butter of the Investigations Industry and we can therefore confidently claim to work to the highest and most current standards and within the laws of the land. We will not engage in any illegal activity however, so if you think your request may border on the edge of that legality, I also offer a free, no obligation consultation service.

DRM GROUP also carry out Commercial Agency duties, from Repossessions to Service of Court Documents for legal matters. 

Simply call my office to take advantage of my fre, no obligation consultation. At the end of the day, I am passionate about maintaining the highest standards of the Investigation Industry and for that reason I need to be sure you are happy with what we can and cannot achieve for you.

I look forward to hearing from you

A Great Year Beckons...

Happy New Year to one and all, I trust everyone enjoyed their Christmas and I genuinely hope you all have a spectacular 2011.

I have just returned from visiting my mother who lives in NSW. I spent a very relaxing Christmas day with her and my younger brother and his partner, my brother in law and nephew. It was quiet day but enjoyable.

My big plans and goals continue on from the old year and into the new. Have you made any plans or goals for the coming year? If not, then you are planning to drift along and take what comes as it finds you. This situation is easily controlled to your advantage by simply setting in place a goal or plan that is personal to you and acheivable in a time frame acceptable to you. Watch the results when you start acheiving your goals.

I feel this year will be a standout in my life. I have a business that will triple my current income before years end and I plan to replace my old car with one I have wanted for a long time. I will help countless others to start and succesfully operate their own 21st Century business that will set them free from the Boss, daily grind attitude that restricts so many. If you want to learn about this business, available to you for between $80 and $500.00 then give me a call.

Last year was tight, financially, but things worked out well with record numbers coming through my training room for the Security courses. There are more places available for students that qualify this year and I invite you to call for details. I will also be working with great focus to develop my business as mentioned above.

I wish everyone a great year, make it a great one by taking control of your destiney. If you would like some help setting your goals then contact me and I will help you on the path.

Information age inspiration...

Mark Webber was on the receiving of the worst kind of result yesterday when he crashed out of a soggy Grand Prix in South Korea.

Raced in appalling conditions on a track with a surface laid barely 10 days before the race, the field tailed the pace car for what seemed like hours to justify Bernie's deal to race in monsoon season. Fully half the field left the track, spinning and crashing their way out of the event.

Once again Fernando Alonso showed why he is the class of this field. He took the race by the throat and drove with controlled aggression to register his fifth win of the season, and a worthy and convincing win it was. Lewis Hamilton chased hard all the way but could not close the gap and backed off at the end to conserve his car for second place.

I watched an Italian television channel online, from my computer terminal in Australia. Can't speak Italian mind you, try as I might, keeping pace with the pro's was beyond me. But it was fun listening in and matching the commentary to the action.

It did make me think what an incredible age we live in too. In fact, as I write this, I am listening to a lovely song - Crying - by female duo Mad Violet playing on my You tube channel, typing on a blog that is capable of spanning the globe in seconds, having just described watching a Formula One race from Korea - Live - broadcast from Italy. All acheived in HD colour, in micro second synchronicity. Fantastic.


As a youngster growing up in the sixties I never dreamed of such possibilities. Black and white TV, cranky phone systems, transistor radio's just overtaking valves, 45 rpm records, not a cell phone in sight. Yet they are common place now. As an early user of mobile phone technology I was subject to some unusual taunts, but where would we be now without them? Who doesn't have one, or two? and what will the future hold for technological improvements? I can't give away my not so old box tv, everyone has one or more LCD/LED/Plasma giant wall mounted surround sound entertainment systems now. All driven by the world's access to the world wide web via the ubiquitous computer. Haven't we all got one of them now?

I firmly believe I- Commerce will explode as people take advantage of the ease of purchasing everything they need on line and having it delivered to their door. Currently the delay is about a day, or at times, two, but just wait until the demand increases to drive that back to a day, then hours, then an hour. Traditional industries will perish and new entrepreneurs will emerge on the back of the new technologies. Jobs will disolve and I-Commerce will emerge as a major source of income for those quick enough to get in at this early stage.

A friend of mine is busy on a nightly basis chasing women on line, who are just as busy chasing back. You can talk on line for free with Skype and other providers allowing free, instant calling around the world. Musicians are now releasing straight to the web and movies are online in hours, sounding the death knell of the old Video store.

This Internet driven change in our lives see the old technology of Newspapers dying, struggling under the weight of their own infrastructure, in much the same way as some of the major shopping chains and supermarkets are buckling and will undoubtedly similarly decline in the future. The current leaders are blissfully, or scornfully, unaware and unmoved by the I-Commerce revolution that is eroding their very foundations. Sure they all have a web site, but they are only paying lip service to the possibilites.

The Information age is here, Rupert Murdoch has accepted it at last but has been woefully slow to close the gates before the horses have bolted.Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 supremo, spotted the possibilites way back in the 90's but was years ahead of the technology available at the time. He has struggled to claw back the ground lost ever since abandoning the project after a two year trial. The Internet age is still in it's infancy, can you see where this may end up? Wow, are we in for a ride and a half.


If you would like to know about a fantastic, innovative and very lucrative I-Commerce income generating opportunity I recently became involved with, then give me a call. It will be the best thing you do for yourself today.

Inspiration .v. Perspiration

I have been working away at my new income generating project for about three weeks now and have just completed phase 1 of the learning (or Apprenticeship) component.

I have been learning how to work with the business system that is in place for this very exciting opportunity and I have learnt more than I imagined. You must be teachable and want to learn, and be prepared to make changes to your lifestyle for the next 2-5 yr period in order to succeed. It requires a minimal financial input - I defy you to show me any other business you can purchase for between $80.00 and $500.00 with the back up and system that is in place here.

This business has been around longer than most others, 51 years in fact. It has paid out over $32 Billion dollars in bonuses to business owners in that time, and has created more millionaires than any other company except Microsoft.

I can tell you, I intend to make the most of this opportunity. I am absolutely prepared to change my lifestyle, to devote 15 hours per week over and above what I am doing now to acheive my goals. And I will acheive those goals within the 5 year time frame, in fact, my coaches are quite clear that the 2-5 yr timeline is nothing more than a guide. You - I - can reap the benefit of the huge system (absolutely tried and tested) in a far shorter time fram, but it will take more effort - and therefore time. But achieve it I will.

Are you prepared to make a similar commitment? If you are then I want to hear from you. I am looking for a small number of very determined, goal oriented people to join my team - and become business owners in their own right. If you think any of what I have stated above appeals to you, then call me and I will explain further what this system and business opportunity is all about. Take note: I am not offering you a job, this is an income generating opportunity but I will not be your boss as you will be working on and running your own business, with my support and that of the business owners and the corporation that developed the system you will also train with.

A pertinent quote I came across in the superb Robert Kiyosaki book "Cashflow Quadrant" highlights the benefit of this busines system very well when he uses this analogy:

"Can you personally make a better Hamburger than McDonald's?" Of course you can, so can I and nearly every other person drawing breath. BUT, and this is the crux of the matter..."Can you personally build a better business system than McDonald's?". 30,000 plus McDonald's franchise stores world wide tell me that neither you nor I will acheive that without a commitment beyond the years I have left. Whereas, with my opportunity, the system of training, support, and business infrastructure is all there and provided by the corporation at virtually no cost.

Personally, I want more time to pursue my interests - travel, investment, family - than my current lifestyle affords. I need to have a greater level of financial independance to achieve that and I need to learn more. I have attended some fantastic, inspirational meetings with likeminded business owners and read some of the worlds best  and most inspirational authors since this kicked off. Mind you I have always had time to read these books, but now I am also surrounded by inspirational, motivated people with similar goals and energy. Inspiration beats perspiration every time in my opinion. This is a huge bonus for me, I have not been exposed to this type of environment before and I love it.

I am hugely excited, I can see the way out of the job/wage/47 year work treadmill with nothing more than a little effort and perseverance on my part. If you want to learn how this can do the same for you, get in touch.

Yours in Success

Training Courses - Security - Investigations - First Aid

I have spent the past few weeks working on various Security training courses from my Training facility and Investigations Office in Maryborough. I have vacancies for courses in early to mid November, then late November and into December. Contact me for details.

Presently, the Federal government are funding - courtesy of you, the long suffering taxpayer - courses for those wishing to gain employment in the Industry. If you wish to gain access to this funding, you must be unemployed, have no Criminal convictions within the past 10 years and be registered with a JSA such as Sarina Russo, Impact, Epic or Mission Australia.

I can then place you on one of my courses, run under the National Registered Training Organisation (RTO) sanctioned Morrissey Training. Morrissey Group work in concert with DRM GROUP to provide training for those wishing to re-train, re-certify or upskill and they have offices throughout the eastern seaboard of Queensland. My office is one of those, with my Investigation business operating alongside the training I provide for Morrissey.

Our area of coverage is the Wide Bay Burnett region, reaching from Gympie in the south, through Tiaro, Maryborough, Hervey Bay and north to Bundaberg.

Courses provided by this office include Security, Investigations, Baton & Handcuff certification, Generic Mine Inductions, Drug & Alcohol screening, Responsible service of Alcohol (RSA), Bodyguard, and the modules required if you wish to move into Dog Handling in the Security arena. I have been working with one of the best, if not the best Dog Handler I have met in my years in this field - so if you are considering this aspect give me a call and I will point you in the right direction.

Security is a major growth industry with opportunities present in a wide range of disciplines for those interested. If finding a job is a priority for you, or a new, interesting career is your primary focus, leave your contact details and I will contact you.

A win is a Win...

Thankfully there was a result in the AFL Grand Final on the weekend, all the crying and whining going on because the teams had the temerity to draw the week before was getting to much to bear. Photos of men and women crying, little boys sobbing, bloody hell what a bunch of pansies. It was a draw, get over it, you got another Grand Final out of the deal and the losers on the second occasion obviously weren't up to it as they were roundly and comprehensively, thrashed! Then I see a photo in the paper of Eddie McGuire bawling his eyes out. Must be something in the water down in Victoria. Pathetic.

My boyhoood local hero's in the NZ national league (Football in it's correct and proper sense - the round ball code) fought out three replays back in the seventies. With each draw attention turned to the game and people stood in amazement, cheering at the closeness of the competition.

Sure, it helped that my team won the day in the end and a huge crowd turned out at the airport to welcome home the victors. Not bad for a Rugby mad country. Not a teary eye to be seen, no grumbles, just amazement at the tough, unforgiving nature of the competition. Fantastic.

Then there was the NRL and the bawling going on all over the paddock after the final whistle had sounded. I thought I must have the wrong channel, but no. and it didn't matter which team you looked at, winners or losers. Must be something in the water down in NSW. Pathetic.

Oh well another squashed ball season over, some magnificent football played throughout by all and sundry, and now for the real footy, the English premier League. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 this morning and increased their lead over new rival Manchester City to 4 points, another point back to cross city Mancunian's United and the rest tagging along. Way too early to tell how it will shape up but Chelsea are on form early and that bodes well for those of us who follow in the footsteps of the best team in the league currently.

I am really holding my breath for Mark Webber too, fighting alone in a title stoush on the other side of the planet, albeit with a large team behind him. Mark stands poised to win the ultimate title in Motorsport, the Formula One Driver's crown, something not acheived by an Aussie since 1980 when Alan Jones won the title driving for Williams. That was a great year, a fantastic achievment and something I hope can be replicated by Mark over the next few weeks. He has driven brilliantly all year, he has shown all nay sayer's that he has the talent and the mental toughness to keep all at bay, and rise to the very top of the rankings. He will be a very deserving champion if he can continue on without his bumptious little German team mate trying to drive him off the road, or stealing updated body parts from his car!

So plenty to keep me interested in the weeks ahead, although the F1 has always taken priority and keeps me on the edge of my seat race after race. By that time the EPL will be well under way as well...yahoo.

The person who says that a thing cannot be done should not be interrupting the person who is doing it.

I am now one week into the learning phase of my  new business venture - an MLM - enterprise and I am becoming increasingly excited and motivated at the prospect of success. I am backed by one of the biggest and most succesful MLM operations on the planet and I am working and under the supervision of a hard working and inspirational coach.

I have been watching and listening intently to my coach for the past two weeks now as he slowly goes about the business of teaching me the business. I am self employed but within a large organisation that operates on support and motivation. I have always loved reading personal development and motivational material from masters of the genre like Robert Kioyosaki, Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, John DeMartini and John Kehoe, try reading some of their many titles and you will too will discover The Secret that will change your life forever.

It is imperative to have a dream, a goal, call it what you will, but without it you are not going to find the motivation to succeed. I will not elucidate my goals here just yet, they will come with progress and I intend to keep you appraised of the progress I, and my team make on this journey together.

I have found, very quickly, the common sense logic of multiple incomes streams, and the manner in which as school children we are inculcated into an educational system that is designed to keep us in menial work - jobs- from which very few, only about 5% of us in fact, attain any great wealth.

95% of us struggle from the time we leave school until the day we die.

As the old saying goes "If you keep doing what you are doing, then you will keep getting what you have got"! Therefore, I have taken the step to move radically out of my comfort zone and do it differently. Hence the MLM approach to a business model. The old business model is not working well, or fast enough, so I have got to stop doing what I am doing and change in order to get what I want. Individuals who succeed will need to be masters of change in the years ahead. Fail to change and you will not succeed.

Albert Einstein said "The significant problems we face in life cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." And so I need to change...or die. We, you and I need to change our way of thinking. Are you happy with your lot? Would you be prepared to work 10 15 hours a week over and above your present (and temporary) position to acheive a better lifestyle? I am and I will. Are you prepared to work for yourself, are you prepared to overcome the criticism of doomsayers and those that have not done?

One of my favourite quotations is and old chinese proverb: The person who says that a thing cannot be done should not be interrupting the person who is doing it.

It takes the formation of a dream, the application of hard work, the knowledge of those who have done it and the desire to overcome the hurdles you may face. Why not give me a call to discuss my journey and how I think it can help you to the financial freedom you want, the dream you hold or the desire you have that remains unfulfilled.

How Not to Win Friends & Influence People - Zac !

I received a quite amazing phone call yesterday morning from a bloke calling himself Zac and purporting to represent the company - amazingwebmall.com - from whom I had purchased a web site recently.

Now I have been very active in this arena over the past two weeks as I continue my search for income making opportunites and other personal development matters so I asked him to explain which site he was refering to.  Zac, being the over worked individual that he is, immediately took a defensive stance and demanded to know how many web sites I had signed up to in the past few days?

Now apart from that being no business of his, and apart from the fact that he is a paid employee with a mission to win sales not ostracise clients with arguement and vitriol, Zac then entered into a heated argument with me over his more important reason for breathing than mine. I hung up on him. I did not solicit the call nor do I ordinarily accept calls from unlisted numbers - this being an exception for reasons I cannot explain.

This pleb had engaged me in an unsavoury argument within 15 seconds of my answering the call. He called me back and began to berate me about my bad form for hanging up on him and so on. I told him I did not wish to speak to him that I was busy and for him to call back later. He then sneeringly informed me that he has thousand's of other people to call and that he needed to confirm a convenient time as he was my Case Manager. Well at least he thought he was.

I did not take to the suggestion that I was only 1 of thousand's that he had to deal with and rang off.

Can you see from my description of the above conversation why I will have nothing to do with Zac or amazingwebmall.com ever again?

He called again this morning and I quickly, politely, informed him that I did not wish to deal with him, at which he told me "I don't want to deal with the likes of you either, so I am deactivating your account". I asked to speak to his supervisor and he demanded to know why, when I told him that I didn't like his attitude he launched into another attack on his "customer". I again asked to speak with his supervisor and he refused, instead hanging up on me.

Isn't that wonderful. Zac, I am working on speaking to your supervisor anyway so it might pay to start looking in the job's vacant columns of the local newspaper, I'm sure someone will read them to you.

So, amazingwebmall.com, thank you for allowing me to see the calibre of your staff and to deactivate my account before something really upsetting got in the way of Zac's day. I  will not return to your portal with my money again so that is another unexpected bonus from my time talking with Zac. He also demonstrated the worst sales management technique I can imagine and to be free of any involvement with that I also thank you amazingwebmall.com.

I invite you to post some idea's about your sales techniques. Hopefully they are diametrically oppossed to our overworked, ungrateful hero of this tale, Zac.

I doesn't take much to Think long and Proser, but it is a task beyong my former Case Manager I fear.

Cert IV Trainer and Assessor Courses

In my previous blog I talked about self improvement and challenging yourself to not only increase you income but to acheive a more fulfilling life in general.

One of the easiest way's you could manage this is to train, and qualify, as a Workplace Trainer and Assessor, whereby you pass on your skills and knowledge to younger or less experienced staff in your workplace. I have found it to be a rewarding career change that has little if any downside. In particular I can cite my increased awareness of First Aid issues that benefit everybody in society. It is comforting to know that in any situation requiring First Aid I will be able to act instinctively, without the fear of not knowing what to do, or questioning if what I am doing is correct. In training this discipline I have been so regularly exposed to the lessons that I can recite the required response and treatment with ease. This will stand me in good stead when I need to call on the knowledge for real.

In a Security setting I have maintained close and frequent contact with a diverse range of Industry employers and workers that you might ordinarily not expect to be dealing with. As a result, I can confidently impart the latest developments to my students safe in knowledge that they will benefit from my current awareness. I am far more aware of the local Security scene and it's issues and concerns than most would be just working away at their own job. I would not have this added beneficial knowledge or career without having first completed my Workplace Trainer and Assessor qualification. Admittedly my 30 + years in and around the Industry has allowed me to hit the ground running in a training sense, but then anyone with knowledge and confidence can make a worthwhile contribution to their company with the minimum of effort. Naturally, your income opportunites expand along with your knowledge and that is always a good thing.

As an Investigator for DRMGROUP and an Investigation Trainer for Morrissey Group I am challenged to think precisely for the benefit of some very astute students who want to make a go of this career. Investigations training constantly re-inforces the requirements of this industry and it is an added bonus to find a star performer, whom I can then call on to assist me with my Investigation workload safe in the knowledge that I need not walk them through every what if situation. My company, and my client's benefit from the efforts of these highly motivated Investigators. My bottom line benefits, the student gains invaluable experience and on the job training while getting paid to learn the ropes with a safety net of the latest training knowledge and Industry techniques to guide them along.

Morrissey Training - Queensland's Premier RTO - offer the Trainer and Assessor training and qualification, in the Maryborough/Hervey Bay region the training is managed by yours truly whilst equally knowledgeable trainers handle the eastern seaboard from Brisbane to Mackay. If you are considering this qualification and would like to ask any questions then why not give me a call on (07) 41230795 or click here to contact me for a No Obligation consultation of your training or Investigation requirements.

WEBBER Third in Singapore Thriller

Australia's Mark Webber fought back from a difficult qualifying 5th on the grid, an early pit stop which saw him racing on slower 'hard' compound tyres and a coming together with Championship rival Lewi Hamilton which saw the latter retire from the race for the second Grand Prix in succession.

Webber actually increased his lead in the World driver's championship but all his main rivals, Hamilton excepted, also scored valuable points in the race for the Formula One Driver's title with team mate Sebastian Vettel chasing Alonso to the flag to finish on the podium in second place, Red Bull Renault have increased their Constructors championship lead as well and can be pretty happy with the turn of events.

Webber qualified poorly, by his standards this year at least, and was swamped by challengers in the early part of the race. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso drove from Pole position into the lead at the first corner and showed in his usual flawless drive that he remains a major threat to Webber's title aspirations. Webber was forced to pit early in an attempt to make up ground later in the race, and it was this tactic that allowed him to finish on the podium. His drive was measured and determined and shows yet again that he has matured into a true World Championship contender. He held off a hard charging McLaren driven by reigning World Champion Jensen Button in the latter stages of the race as his tyres went away while Button's tyres were in better shape from a later pit stop strategy.

I think Webber can do it, I have said it for several years. His driving this year has been every inch a World Champion's consistency and pace and he will thoroughly deserve to lift the title. But he has the hounds snapping and snarling at his heels - in the form of Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Button, in what is turning into the most exciting and closely fought title chase in decades. I say it every year, and this year is no different, but the F1 championship exceeds expectations every season, year after year, in the quality of the racing, the drama and the talent behind the steering wheel. I can't recall a time - in the 30 plus years I have been following F1 when so many talented driver's stood to win the title. I can't recall when there were so many greats vying with each other, although the Lauda, Prost, Mansell, Senna, Piquet & Rosberg era of the 80's would probably be a worthy challenger for this mantle.

Go Mark, I am cheering you all the way, it seems odd to be holding my breath when my natural and lifelong support for McLaren gives way to relief when you manage to finish ahead of one or either.

Constantly Seeking New Opportunities???

I hope you are. I know I am. I was employed in a full time role that was grinding me down, I'll bet you know the feeling.

While I was working hard for someone else I decided to do something about that and began to explore the opportunities self employment presented, as a Private Investigator, a Commercial Agent and anything else that presented the right, positive attitude to allow me to continue to work for myself. I am a devotee of self improvement in all areas and I get a real charge from expanding my knowledge and opportunities in this area of my life.

For instance, since leaving the drudgery of paid employment, I am now firmly established as the major Security/Private Investigations Trainer in the Wide Bay Burnett Region, working as I do in conjunction with the Premier RTO - Morrissey Group - which in turn has had a flow on effect with business leads and contact with other business owners with whom I can network and build inspirational and positive relationships that benefit both of us.

I have established my Private Investigation business in the region which has become a leading provider of Investigation services from Gympie in the south to Rockhampton in the north and all points west.

Self employment has proven to be hugley educational and uplifting in areas I never thought possible. I am now dealing with people on a professional and social level that before I was subservient to as an employee. I have others asking me for advice that previously would never have considered doing so and it has been very rewarding to be able to help where in previous times it was not even an option.

Yes I am working hard, but I am working for myself and gain far more than a wage from the hours I put in.

I recently explored a new opportunity - well not so new really - but a long established business that has moved with the times and the 21st Century into Internet marketing and On Line sales. This explosive growth area of retailing will see the DRM GROUP establish itself in this area as a leading marketer of top quality products available to you online and delivered to your door overnight. World leading brands that sell themselves and inspire others to get involved in this area of retailing without the overheads, it is an  exciting time for DRM GROUP and I am yet again inspired and further charged with adrenalin to succeed. You can do it too you know. You are only limited by your own thoughts, the business I am talking about is available to you for next to no cost, there are no overheads and is entirely homebased with no need to purchase inventory or deliver to your client base. I can only see it as a win win for DRMGROUP.

This huge new opportunity, in concert with other initiatives I will discuss in the coming weeks leave me fully charged and on a knife edge of anticipation to succeed. I have acheived all of this from a standing start, having become sick of the daily grind working for a wage. I made the decision to go out alone and learn what it takes to make a go of it in my own business. I am only too happy to share my new found knowledge if you want to call and ask, feel free to do so, no obligations.

You cannot expect to change unless you make a decision and act on it. If you want to stay where you are now just keep doing what you are doing, I'm more than happy to step in and take the opportunity to continue learning and building my own success. But I am also more than happy to share my knowledge with you if you want to join in and come along for the ride, simply give me a call and I will fill you in on the secret...

They are now qualified to gain their Security and Crowd Control licence and seek work in a diverse range of interesting disciplines. These include Mobile Patrolling, Crowd Controller at the pubs and nite clubs, airports, rock concerts and sporting events and shopping complexes amongst a whole host of other exciting roles.

Infidelity, Insecurity and Private Investigations

It's a strange old world this one we inhabit. I started out dreading having to conduct infidelity Investigations, you know the sort...husband has been away a lot on business lately and hardly talks anymore, the wife is whispering into the phone and hangs up when you appear suddenly. Late at the office, unexplained spur of the moment absences. Something is going on and you have no idea what. He's up to something, she's hiding something and you don't have a clue where to turn.

That's where I can help. It may not be the result you wanted to hear but it may at least confirm your fears, or as often happens too, confirm that nothing is actually happening.

However, you cannot ignore the tell tale signs, if there's smoke, then usually there is fire.

Lately DRMGROUP Investigators have been contracted to conduct covert surveillance in a number of situations that have rekindled my fascination for the work. I have seen the bad side of people too often, but in recent times a couple of Investigations have confirmed that the partner of our client is not misbehaving, they are not having an extra marital affair, they are in fact doing exactly what they say they are doing.

Now I'm not going to give away any trade secrets and tell you how we confirm such matters, but it has been a wonderful thing to be able to tell a client that their husband has not been seeing another woman, or man, as was the case with one recent Investigation my group completed.

Infidelity has stepped up in the number of jobs we have been asked to handle recently, I have no explanation why this occurs but it does seem to be cyclical in nature. Wives feeling trapped in a loveless marriage, left at home running the house hold and caring for the children who rarely get to see their father because he is always "working late". Well recently, in four of the past 6 cases we have worked on, that has been precisely what has been happening.

We have located missing people with great success, not always the case in this area as people who do not want to be found make life difficult for people on their trail. But again, of late, DRM GROUP has acheived very pleasing results in this aspect of the Investigations world as well.

Hervey Bay and Maryborough, all the way up to Bundaberg and even Rockhampton, if we don't have an employee who can take the case on then we will tap into the network of Investigators who have helped us in the past and helped us acheive such great results for the clients involved.

We recently cracked a missing person's case and an Infidelity matter - unfortunately  for the client, this one turned out poorly for her - down on the Sunshine Coast.

Covert surveillance generally garners the best evidence for the matter at hand, the use of covert camera's and good old fashioned leg work, soupled with years of experience is working these issues, has allowed us to acheive results I am proud to put my name to, and for that I have a team of dedicated and hard working agents to put on the cases we have contracted for.

If you have any concerns relating to a possible Infidelity matter, would like some advice about a Security issue at home or the office and would like confirmation one way or the other of yur suspicions, then I can confidently state that DRM GROUP can acheive a result for you.

Call and discuss any issue you may have, I am happy to consult with you free of charge and if I think there is nothing to be concerned about, then I stand up and tell you that, I will not take your money under false pretences. I stand behind each and every one of my team, they must meet the demanding standards I demand of them and they do so with great professionalism and integrity.

I am but a phone call away, or simply click here to leave your details on my contact page.

Training Available in Maryborough

DRMGROUP in association with Morrissey Training now offer several courses in the Hervey Bay/Maryborough and outlying regions.

Although based around Security work, there is still enough to keep you interested and improving your employability. For instance the short one day RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) will set you up for a job in Hospitality.

Drug & Alcohol Screening is more specialised but it is a required function of Security at the mine sites around the country.

Morrissey Training is now able to offer specialised and highly valued Dog Training, either for Security or for general ownership. Utilising the skills of a veteran Dog Handler and trainer we can get you to the required level to take a Dog out on patrol with you if you so desired.

First Aid is of course something we should all be thinking of training in but only about 20% of the population bother. A short course with us will have you primed to help in such circumstances and add's to your employability.

For those already in the Security Industry we offer Baton and Handcuff training in a comprehensive 1 Day format. This allows you to carry either or both while working alone, but not in a Nite club setting.

Those considering employment on Mine sites will need to complete the Generic Mine Induction (Surface) before applying ofr work and the Drug and Alcohol Screening we offer will put you at the front of the queue.

So if you are looking for training to get into the workforce, check the Morrissey Training web site or simply call me to discuss what we can qualify  you in.

I look forward to speaking to you
