The Top Ten Lies of Entrepreneurs
| |
| I get pitched dozens of times every year, and every pitch contains at least three or four of these lies.

V. Material Benefits of Microfinancing
| |
| Microfinance initiatives can play an effective role in addressing material poverty, the
physical deprivation of goods, services, and the income to attain them. MFIs can help people
become more economically secure. This, in turn, has a multiplier effect on people's standard of
living, enhancing basic household welfare, such as food security, nutrition, shelter, sanitation,
health and education services. MFIs can help prevent and extricate people from debt.
Oftentimes, they liberate low-income households from moneylenders with outrageous interest
rates that often reach 100% annually. Savings and credit services help people start or improve
their own small businesses, providing income generation and employment for themselves and
their families. |

Do You Know Where Your Disaster Recovery Plan Is
| |
| Disasters of major magnitude are major news again after the Gulf coast region of the United States was hit by 2 major hurricanes. So it is very timely for me to ask each of you: “Do you know where your disaster recovery plan is?” “Do you even have a disaster recovery plan or crisis management plan?” “What business contingency plans do you have?” I am very concerned that in too many cases the answers would be “No” “No” and “None!”
The plain hard truth is that if your business is going to continue to perform at a profitable or administratively adequate level when a crisis occurs, crisis/emergency planning is imperative. You must have a properly prepared disaster recovery plan in place and have the appropriate staff fully briefed on their responsibilities. |

1.0 Executive Summary: Enterprise solutions to poverty
| |
| The modern world has always encompassed
extremes of affluence and poverty. But in 2005 the
confluence of advocacy, political serendipity and
natural disaster has rapidly pushed the plight of the
impoverished up the agenda of the wealthy as
never before. The sharpness of the challenge being
thrown down on behalf of the poor and the
pressure on the rich to take action in response is
unprecedented, as is the level of debate on a topic
previously all but ignored by the public and
mainstream media. |

Why Do Natural Therapists Get Into Business in the First Place?
| |
| As I continue to work with Natural Therapists I’ve come to notice that it is no co-incidence that people have been drawn to natural healing modalities.
The one common thing that I’ve noticed is that natural therapists are often drawn to a modality because it helped them “heal” an aspect of themselves. |
