Lately many people have been saying that I am getting better and better in my field of profession as a BNI Director and Professional, as well as a business and an entrepreneur mentor.
Yes, I have seen the transformation in myself first hand.
My nephew who follows me on Facebook commented once that he envied my life [...]

Be the someone to the someone

My blood donation story began in 1986.
My mother had been ill and had to be operated on. As I awaited nervously for her to return to her ward out of the operation theater, which seemed like a lifetime, she finally emerged a couple of hours late as there were some complications and that she had [...]

The reply

On my mind now 9 March 2011 | 0 Comments

I wrote a request to a service provider to resolve a matter which has been outstanding for a week now.
This matter is a computer related matter and in view of access levels, I don’t have access to rectify whatever is it that’s not right. Hence the request.
I was disheartened to receive a curt reply along [...]

Perhaps Love

On my mind now 14 February 2011 | 0 Comments

On this St. Valentine’s Day, I would like to share with everyone the definition of love. Yes, I agree that love has no definition, however, if there ever was one, then this will be the closest.
It’s a number by Placido Domingo and John Denver, in their duet, Perhaps Love. If you would like to listen [...]

You can never look inside enough

Networking Expert, Networking Questions, On my mind now 26 January 2011 | 5 Comments

This morning I had a BNI member who inquired from me on how he can visit other BNI Chapters (other than the Chapter he belongs to).
Supposedly for the purpose of getting more business exposure and possibly more referrals.
At a glance you’ll agree, however, I invited this person to have a conversation. It was indeed an [...]

Are you worth it?

On my mind now 20 January 2011 | 0 Comments

This article is a download from my conscious thinking to my unconscious repository.
I am in the midst of a business and management issue to a degree where you hear of the proverbial antelope being caught in between two elephants at logger heads with one another. Neither is wrong, and neither is right.
One party is of [...]

What’s your suggestion?

Yesterday I met a woman in a seminar I attended in the city.
She’s a seller of wine, spirits and liquor.
But she has a problem: competition is as stiff as the drink she sells, and at the end the price war just eats up on the margins, leaving very little in the end, if at [...]

What a year!
I thought of creating a summary of what happened in this past year.
January: I remember running this program to enable a goal-setting session for all. We had a good time, though it was not as good as the previous year’s session. Funny thing was: although I had a goal to treat everyone as [...]

Today I thought of sharing with all of you, my dear readers, an improvement I have adopted these past few months which have brought me excellent results.
The background is that: I am a straightforward person who would express myself and tell things as they are, very often, without sugar coating it. I am courageous enough [...]
