Your Money or Your Life? - A Financial Crisis Comment
Which do you value most - your money or your life? Terrorism, climate change, and wars are being pushed aside in the rush to beg for mercy at the stock exchange shrine. But after we're gone we'll be remembered for what we did in life, not what we spent. The financial crisis is causing increasing numbers to take a more philosophical approach to what 'quality of life' really means.

Introduction: Human Capital and Economic Development
Health and education are both components of human capital and contributors to human welfare. One index of human welfare, which incorporates income, education and health, shows that Africa’s level of ‘human development’ is the lowest of any region in the world.

The concept of human development centres around the notion that human welfare depends on various dimensions, many of which are not well captured by conventional measures of economic income.
Part 3 - Relationships and service
It is absolutely essential for any manager to communicate with and to understand what motivates each individual staff member. This brings relationships to the fore as the most important factor for any manager in any business. We are not just caged canaries or a selection of laboratory rats. We are thinking, feeling human beings, trying to be just that – human beings - not just human doers. We live to express ourselves creatively and to grow and develop each in our own unique way.

Persistence.
I’ve often been curious to hear the responses given by individuals of substantial success when asked about their methods or secrets. The secrets of the wealthy, the winners, the business elite. Over the years, I’ve heard some remarkable responses, and some quite simple doctrines as well. I once at a conference listened to a rather engaging older gentleman profess that his secret was writing goals on a small piece of plywood, and then sleeping with it under his pillow. Honestly I thought to try it, once, no more than twice, but the idea of an inordinate amount of splinters ravaging my cheeks kept me from running to Home Depot for sharpies and 2×4’s.
No is a Positive Outcome in Sales
There are numerous studies that reveal that 87% of sales people working the telephone give up after the first attempt. By extrapolation this means that only 13% follow up more than once. Another 10% give up after a second call. Only about 3% of reps follow up more than twice. Which do you think have a higher rate of success? To get more positive responses you have to hear more nos. You hear more no’s (and more positive responses) by following up every lead and every opportunity. To get more positive responses you must be tenacious on following up leads. Get the ‘no’s’ out of the way. Being perseverant and persistent is the key and it requires two things: a follow-up system and self-discipline.

Marketing Accommodation Options to Mature Age Prospects.
An Article I wrote with the provocative title "The End of Retirement Villages? Yes Please!" generated a few robust responses from Australian providers of community-style accommodation for the 55+'s - which they typically choose to market as "Retirement Villages". Those responses have confirmed I need to clarify the concerns I attempted to raise in that article - firstly the importance of selecting, and communicating, the right name and market position for your accommodation option's target, and secondly, changing the reality of the lifestyle your accommodation option offers to prospective residents.

What Leadership Was And What Leadership Has Become
In the macho era, support was for failures, but now there is a growing realization that leaders are human after all, and that leadership is as much a human art as a rational science.

Your Setbacks and Cynics Don't Define You. Your Responses Do
The people history recorded as the most accomplished were not born with some super human like resilience that shielded them from disappointment, self-doubt or misgivings. Each had to wage their own inner battles with fear as they worked to overcome the obstacles that lined their path to success. What they ultimately learned was that your setbacks & cynics don't define you. Your responses do.
