Well folks, 2 things to mention today:
1) Happy Birthday to my twin sister & myself! 
42 today.
2) James Brausch answered my question about Interns as follows:
How do you actually get the RIGHT people to put their hands up to become an intern?
I don’t. I have no pre-qualification for level 1 interns. The more the merrier.
Fair call. And, his answer makes more sense if you go and actually read the rest of the post with his answers to the other questions about Intern programs. You can find the post here:
Intern Program Answer Time with James Brausch
And, he’s released a CD called “Intern Orientation“, which you can check out on his blog.
Lastly, congratulations to Jon Symons of the Art of Money blog, who won James $10,000 prize for his question about Intern Programs. I had a quick browse over his blog (it IS 10 mins to 1 am, so I think a quick browse is pretty good for this time of night! 
) and he has some good stuff on it. I will check it out some more when I get a bit more time.
One of the few blogs I read regularly is that of James Brausch (of jamesbrausch.com). He’s totally blunt, with no tolerance for fools, but the man has got some gold nuggets of wisdom to share, not just about business but life in general.
On Fri, he posted a Question time question about Intern Programs, where you can ask any 1 question you like on the subject of running an Intern Program, and he’ll answer it, so it got me thinking, because that’s exactly what I have been thinking of doing for sometime now (starting an intern program )…
So, my question to James is this:
How do you actually get the RIGHT people to put their hands up to become an intern?
I’m sure you’ll get applicants if you offer something of value to anyone interested in what you teach, but at the end of the day, you want to attract quality applicants who will be worth your time AND who’ll get some genuine benefit from being in your program – hence the question about attracting the good folks…
I’ll let you know what his answer is when I have it.
ciao folks – hope you had a great weekend.
