Procrastination is the thief of profit
Are you a procrastinator? While we may not wish to label ourselves as procrastinators – we have all procrastinated over one thing or the other at different times in our lives. In fact in most of our cases, not a day goes by where we don’t say, “I know I should be doing “it” but…

Change is difficult – step or otherwise
There’s something to be said about persistence. There’s something to be said about having a good support system in place particularly when you embark on an unfamiliar journey. Kinda reminds me of the song “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” made popular by James Ingram and Patti Austin in the ’80s. “How do you…

…and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete
That particular phrase is taken from a passage called: Patient trust by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ. It is written about trusting in the “slow work of God”. And how irritating this becomes particularly in this fast paced world in which we live. We don’t ever like learning curves do we? The intermediate stages. The…

Happiness…will you find it this year?
I recently purchased a book called “Stumbling upon happiness” – which I must admit, I haven’t finished reading yet. And then of course there was the book and movie – “In pursuit of happyness” It seems that we often ask the question: When am I going to be happy? And if I’m not mistaken this…

Do you want to leave a legacy?
Most of us women fit somewhere between Oseola Mc Carthy and Oprah Winfrey… We’re not pulling down the millions, but we aren’t washing clothes for a living either! Yet Oseola Mc Carthy quit school at 12 and began taking in laundry for a living. She never earned more than $10 a bundle but seventy-five years…

Mints, nut bars, jub jub…did anybody say Diana?
I have been intrigued lately by the Diana ads featuring Nikki Crosby and Sprangalang. Although the ads are simple ads they are actually a great case for effective advertising. While advertising agencies in Trinidad and Tobago and worldwide submit ads and win prizes for “most creative” and “best art direction” – advertisers pay them money…

The importance of sometimes doing “nothing”
We often rush…from one thing to the next…ticking off as we go along, against an out of control “to-do” list, which often seems impossible to complete. Most times we cram more in there than could reasonably fit. We identify with our “things to do” in a very unique way. We feel important. Useful. Needed. How…

Apply this powerful force in your business and your life and get ready for MASSIVE SUCCESS!
Why am I not yet successful? Why is it so hard to find good sales people these days? When am I going to “get it together”? When will the day finally arrive when I have more money at the end of a month? When will my “take home pay” finally take me home? These questions…

Your BIGGEST selling mistake
SALES: This word has brought more pain than happiness to almost anyone who “wants to get into it” or is thinking about “getting out of it”. The thing is that the world revolves because of sales. Everyday, everyone is involved in selling: ideas, transactions, lending, borrowing, going out, coming in, shutting up, speaking your mind…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
High-stakes decisions deserve disciplined thinking
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
