On my trip to Cape Town last week for the Premiere I was fortunate enough to have timed it to coincide with the Silicon Cape Networking event, the Netweb Event and the 27Dinner. However my timing sucked in that I missed the biggest party in Long Street, Cape Town by 5 days!

At the Netweb event I met Fraser of Absolute Magazine – a hip luxury metropolitan lifestyle online magazine. He liked my matchstick business card, and when the one matchstick Movie went live, he and Warren listed it in the magazine.

They got double the amount of views in the first day of the movie listed in their magazine, than YouTube got. So they challenged me, saying they bet they'll get more views than YouTube. Ooohh!

I'm always up for a challenge, so I took them on! We're going to see which listing of the onematchstick movie has the most views by midday Friday 11 December:
The local Absolute Magazine listing OR the YouTube listing.

So help me out. You decide where to view the onematchstick movie, and either go to Absolute Magazine (and I'm not going to help you with a link here to the page to make it easy) or, even better, go and be a true fan to ME and view the listing on YouTube here by clicking here so I win this challenge (I've made it quite easy to go to YouTube here to see the YouTube one matchstick movie - just with one click here you'll get there- easy peasy). And while you're there watching it quickly (it's only 4:51 mins), leave a comment or rating :)

Also let your friends know about this challenge, and get them to choose (the YouTube listing here, of course!)

;)

Thank you!

I'm off to Cape Town on Tuesday- It's going to be a packed week in the Mother city, and I hope to get some quiet time on the beach and to also catch up with some special friends, and make some new ones.

If you'd like to meet up then get in touch! You can come and meet Adin van Ryneveld - the No Money Man- and I on Thursday night at the Primi Piatti, Cavendish for the onematchstick movie première, where Adin will be the guest speaker, and Mongezi the MC. Join the event on facebook here.

It's going to be a fun evening if the Joburg première is anything to go by, so do come along and say hi, and be one of the first to see the onematchstick movie.

Otherwise you'll see me at the Silicon Cape event on Tuesday night, or the Netweb Event on Wednesday, and at some point I hope to have a yummy milkshake at Fire and Ice. I've got no plans yet for the weekend, before I fly back up to Joburg on Sunday, other than to spend some time with my niece and family.

So it'll be great to meet up if you're in Cape Town: Get in touch!

So I still have 285 T-shirts to trade in order to complete my tenth trade. I'm being called to think very, very creatively about how to find the 285 people to trade with.

Nikki contacted me and said she wanted one of my T-shirts and would trade for it for a place on her small business startup workshop.

That got me thinking.

So I put the word out and within a day Chris had found Michelle who was starting her business and wanted to do Nikki's course, and for her it was a bargain to "pay" Nikki with a T-shirt and at the same time make that T-shirt count as a trade with me.

So we traded:
Nikki got her T-shirt.
Michelle got to go to the workshop.
I got one less T-shirt to trade.

An awesome Three-Way Trade!

That has sparked off three more offers for T-shirts that involved Three-Way Trading (is there something about the number 3 right now?)

• David has offered 4 private Pilates classes for three T-shirts (Johannesburg only)
• Tuesday as offered her beautiful artwork for two T-shirts (Global)
• KK Diaz has offered his audio payroll workshop for one T-shirt. (South Africa)

So- below are the details and if you want to be a part of my big tenth trade and the onematchstick story, but you're not that into T-shirts, then let me know if you want to trade for Pilates, Artwork or Payroll training and we'll make a Three-Way Deal. Ok?

PILATES:

David du Plessis has been offering Pilates classes for many years, and – being my Pilates instructor- I can vouch that he knows his stuff and gets results. He combines Pilates with Gyrotonics and Kettlebell training, and is uber-cool.

His studio is in Fourways, Johannesburg, at the centre where I have my temporary office (temporary until I get my onematchstick office).

He is offering four private Pilates classes that could be used one a week for a month, or all four in four days- you decide- in exchange for three of my Springleap T-shirts.

So if you are keen to try out Pilates in the Fourways area, or get back into it, and get super fit and strong and have a laugh while you work out, plus get the four private session at a discounted rate- CALL ME!!!


ARTWORK:

"Tuesday Houston is a contemporary South African artist making a significant impact on the local art market."

She's been arty since – well forever! She's even dabbled in welding metal into gorgeous jewellery and is very into fashion and stuff like that, especially fashion for kids.

She's offered me TWO limited edition lino prints (about A4 in size) which are very popular, and unframed go for R900 in a Gallery.

All she wants is two T-shirts in return for one of the prints, and we can post the print to you! What a sweet deal!
So if you want one of Tuesday's limited edition lino prints- CALL ME!


PAYROLL TRAINING:

I met KK Diaz at this months Netweb event, and he's an entrepreneur. He runs Rekopane Payroll Services and develop a nifty payroll audio support programme called 'Payroll With A Voice'. It's South Africa's first payroll workshop in audio and workbook format, so you can learn in your own time, even sitting in your undies at home if you like. ;)

When he's not helping people demistify payroll for good, he's working on his record label dedicated to assisting indi artists, called Liber8. He's also just a man looking to play his part on this beautiful planet.

And his part in the onematchstick story is he's offered his audio payroll workshop for ONE of my Springleap T-shirts. It's worth R399.99, he's running a special right now for R279.99, but YOU can get it for R219.00 if you do a Three-Way Trade with KK and me. If you want this audio payroll workshop – CALL ME!


So it's as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 for a three-way trade with me.
