Don't Let Your Group Drink Dirty Water-Be a Leader
There is an Akamba, Kenya, proverb that says, "Syaasya ndongoi, inyusaa muuluu." This wise saying means when a herd of cattle lacks a leader, it ends up drinking dirty water. This saying is based on an observation in which the last herd to get to the water source finds the water has been made dirty by the ones that arrived before it.

Why the African Digerati Can Make a Difference
Some of the greatest insights on this site have come from the individuals leaving comments. Someone by the name of “Goat Herd” left one of those comments today, on one of my favorite blog posts “The Dark Continent: It’s Still Dark” from over a year ago. Thank you “Goat Herd”, and thanks to everyone else who enriches all of us by leaving comments and keeping the discussions going here.

While it's true that selling products on eBay can be a quick, low cost way to launch an online business, following the herd by selling the "hot product" of the moment, is not a great idea.

The Benefits of Heresy, or "What I learned from my summer reading"
There is more to life than mindlessly following the herd. But that is what we've been conditioned to do. There is incredible power in stepping outside the fold and becoming a heretic. Experience it for yourself.
Self improvement resources-Are you born with self-doubt or trained to have it?
Were you born having self-doubt or has someone or something programmed you that way? Self-doubt is a very destructive creature. It can put you in places in your mind that you have probably tried to leave in the past. Why does self-doubt reoccur? Well it reoccurs when you are trying to improve yourself as a person. It is kind of like the angel on one shoulder and the demon on the other. Procrastination along with self-doubt is your worst dream crusher. These two entities show up when you are trying to stray from the herd. Why do you want to be like the herd anyway?

You can't herd consumers. Get in the saddle with the attitude you can and they'll turn on you. Show they why your product/service is so good. Show them how to install, troubleshoot, use it. Then ..
What do animals have to do with marketing?
About a year ago now, I went along to a presentation on sales. The presenter advised us to think about people’s personalities when selling as four key animals – Monkeys, Lions, Dolphins and Elephants.
