Britain To Soon Allow Overseas Territories A Member In Parliament?

UK ParliamentLast September at the Oval cricket ground in London, I sat in the media centre speaking with the chief cricket correspondent for the Independent Newspaper in the United Kingdom. We were exchanging views about the relationship between Britain and its many overseas outposts, particularly those in the Caribbean. We were mainly concerned with how best the remaining British outposts can leverage some degree of influence in the House of Parliament in the UK.

Mind Your Business

business successBusinesses don’t operate and become profitable due to chance. Owners dedicate time, hard work, and implement well thought out plans. Why should life be any different? You should operate with purpose and intent to achieve the goals and the life you desire. Random lives operate without focus and control. Although life requires some spontaneity, there is a difference between being spontaneous and leaving outcomes up to the forces of the universe. We all own a business, because life is a business. Your life is your business. You represent the ultimate brand, and you are selling the ultimate product. If you want the right people to invest in the business of you, you must market yourself according.

Ring In The New You

champagne and fireworksThe New Year is fast approaching, and now is as good a time to decide what and whom we desire in our lives. We should avoid starting the year with trash and clutter. The keys to starting a blissful 2012 are organisation and elimination. Sometimes we have a hard time parting ways, even with things and people who are no good. Hence, we never burn bridges; we never shred, and we never discard. We keep going back and holding on.

The Commandments of Business Growth

keys-and-money-fpss-071111When I graduated from college in 1997, I started my business career in investment banking. I lasted four months. While the experience was rewarding (I learned how to use Microsoft Excel like a pro!), I found I was more suited for entrepreneurship. I always wanted to build  something I could call my own, and it turns out I have a mind for sales and marketing, not finance.

The Awakening Of My Consciousness

business empowermentGrowing up without someone to show you right from wrong, Is just the same as a sweet subtle humming bird without a song, Because how can you do right if you know not how? Like, how can a bird fly without wings and a guide to learn how?
