Guerrilla Marketing And Karate
The karate master learns everything necessary to slam his hand through the wooden boards. He doesn’t even think about the boards, only about seeing his hand on the other side of them. Their being shattered is not part of his vision. The board is merely an illusion. His hand beneath the cracked boards is the only reality the karate master will accept. Theory is what helped him earn his black belt, but he never would have earned it if he had not taken action.
Investing Yourself
One of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever heard comes out of Holland. The citizens in the little village of Ida in Holland were astonished when Hans Bergen died because he left an estate of $40,000 to a young girl named Anne Martin. She, of all people, was the most surprised villager of all, for she had never spoken to Hans Bergen. How could such a thing happen to her?
Interview of Mohammad Yunus of Grameen Bank
I found this interview of Mohammad Yunus of Grameen Bank. His idea to provide “micro loans” to poor people to jumpstart their entrepreneurship truly is changing the world. In fact, Yunus won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for his work.
Failure Is An Option
My friend Dave sent me a hysterical Onion article titled Failure Now An Option. I hate the phrase "failure is not an option" - of course it is. Some choice quotes:
About Whole Life Insurance
One in three Americans has no life insurance at all, translating into a staggering 30% of U.S. citizens who have no indemnity to protect their loved ones. This is the lowest rate of uninsured Americans in well over 50 years. Of the 35 million American families who are currently living without life insurance, 11 million contain young children under the age of 18. People are struggling financially, living paycheck to paycheck and forsaking the benefits and stability of life insurance. This is leaving many families one accident or illness away from financial devastation.

FEAR and RISK? What is holding you back?
Don't drop that egg! While at the Nashville Zoo with my granddaughter, we watched as the zookeeper offered to let small children hold an ostrich egg. These amazing eggs are approximately 24 times the size of a chicken egg and weigh about 3 pounds. But rather than embracing a once-in-a-lifetime experience, almost without exception the parental caution was - "Now, don't drop that egg."
You Really Want To Help The Poor? Get Rich!
Even though over 75% of all our taxes are paid by only 1% of our citizens, the tax revenue received for the express purpose of helping others greatly pales in comparison to the voluntary philanthropy of the wealthy 1%. And as stated earlier, these charitable funds are specifically targeted to a needy organization, hospital, or other cause, allowing the money given to actually be used by the recipients, instead of wasted in bureaucracy. Therefore, if you really care about helping the poor, get rich! Stop relying on your tax dollars to go the the people who need it most. Once you build your wealth, you can allocate your desired amounts to help those you wish to help. How do you get rich? Well, first you need to think differently....
ACHIEVING A BALANCED DIET CAN BE DIFFICULT
A well balanced diet is essential for good health. Healthy nutrition requires the appropriate dietary intake of macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins, as well as all micronutrients including vitamins and minerals. An improved understanding of the importance of diet and a general rise in the standard of living has brought substantial improvements to the nutritional status of Europe’s citizens, wide spread malnutrition is a thing of the past.
Life Balance: Take Back Your Time Today
This article shares 5 solid strategies to help you take back your time. Do you feel over-scheduled, over-worked, and overwhelmed? Does your daily life feel like a car race? Do you feel like you hardly ever have family dinner or any face time with your family? You are not alone. Americans are putting longer hours on the job every year. In fact, we're working more than medieval peasants did, and more than the citizens of any other industrial country. On average, Americans work nearly nine full weeks (350 hours) LONGER per year than our peers in Western Europe do. Many of us (including 37% of women earning less than $40,000 per year) get NO paid vacation at all. Is it any wonder that so many people are SO stressed out?
The Dominican Corporation
The most common business entity in the Dominican Republic is the corporation, locally called “Sociedad Anónima” (S.A.) or “Compañía por Acciones” (C. por A.). As corporations in other countries, Dominican corporations are legal persons which exist independently of its shareholders. Likewise, the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their contribution to the corporation. The Dominican Commercial Code provides for the existence of other business entities such as partnerships (“sociedad en nombre colectivo”), limited partnerships(“sociedadesencomandita”)and joint ventures (“sociedades en participación”). These structures, however, are seldom used because they are subject to the same tax treatment as corporations while lacking its limited liability component.
Is the Government of Canada's Shared Services Strategy a Threat to Small Business (Survey Result 2)
Many key stakeholders both within and external to the Government of Canada (GoC) see a shared services strategy as a threat to the Small-Medium Enterprise community? Do you believe that the current GoC shared services is a threat? If yes, why? If no, why?
Promoting Entrepreneurial Creativity in Third World Markets
Promoting the entrepreneurial creative spirit in third world markets is a fundamental key to promoting our mental development to higher height of possibilities. Promoting entrepreneurial creativity involves the process of combining new ideas with elements currently in the markets. However, being able to devise new combinations depend on one’s ability to discern relationships between seemingly disparate items. Creativity then is the juxtaposition of ideas which were previously thought to be unrelated. It is the ability to combine ideas in a unique way or to make useful associations among ideas.

Lessons Learned
The privatisation process in Africa is still far from complete and has led to mixed results. The successful cases of the Compagnie Ivorienne d’Electricité, Sonatel, and Société d’Energie et d’Eau du Gabon can not hide the dramatic failures.

Death, Public Speaking, and Seniors' Homes
Lots of us like to blithely retail the cliche about people being more afraid of public speaking than death, but I was caught up abruptly by an analogous finding in scanning some market research today on senior citizens in America:

Funke Adenodi Akinbuli Helps Disabled in Africa Live With Dignity & Respect
If you didn't already know, most of Africa’s disabled [including the blind, paraplegic etc.] citizens live in deplorable conditions. Most are unemployed and can be found on Africa’s major streets and highways placing themselves in harm’s way as they beg for money to meet their basic needs. Rarely will you find a paraplegic in Africa, for example, with necessary medical equipment i.e. wheelchair. Most navigate the streets and freeways on their hands. Sadly, a lot of Africa’s citizens have become desensitized to the deplorable conditions of the disabled partly because most are frustrated with economic and political conditions in the continent and are barely trying to keep heads above water. Others just have no idea where to begin helping and still most lack awareness of the plight of the disabled.

Have you become a commodity?
A society that accepts "head hunters", "down-sizing" and encourages people to sell themselves to the highest bidder in the market reduces its citizens to commodities. This has its ramifications in work/life balance or general life harmony.
Sales is Discounting Again
How many times have I heard this cry from clients? Always makes me wonder if corporate citizens understand and appreciate how hard selling can be - especially if you have little air cover and not much ammunition. The fact is that if sales is discounting it means the company, and particularly marketing, hasn't done its job. I'm not trying to pass blame - just pointing out a 'relative' truth.
