II. How Can MicroFinance Succeed In Africa?
African microfinance is as diverse as the continent itself. An array of approaches have been used, ranging from traditional group-based systems, to specialised lending by banks and funded by international nongovernmental organisations (NGO) financial intermediaries. Consequently, examples of African microfinance offer an array of lessons of what works and doesn’t work. Drawing from these lessons, and those from non-African examples, OSCAL developed a Microfinance model based on four principles:
Private Chinese Direct Investment in Africa: Some Examples
The examples below are based on Naidu (2007) and a Chinese government website (http://preview.english.mofcom.gov.cn).

How to Find the Compelling Reasons Behind Seth Godin's Intangibles
Seth Godin's recent column on Intangibles was great. As a matter of fact, I haven't disagreed in more than two years with anything he has written about selling. Today he provided many examples - great examples - of how your intangibles create value. This article explains how your salespeople can uncover these - and other - reasons why prospects would pay more to do business with you.
Business Plan Examples

We will look at the advantages and disadvantages of using business plan examples available to the entrepreneur online and maybe help you make a choice that would be best for you. The average business plan will have the same key elements. This is important for consistency sake. Think about it from an investor's standpoint; they see many business plans and having the same format, more or less, will save them a lot of time, effort and more than a few questions. These are busy people and will not think twice about rejecting your proposal based on a business plan that does not meet the basic requirements. That is to say, the following

Jump start your Day, the Attitude of Discipline Way!
Each and every day this year can be a jump start towards getting everything you want out of life when you incorporate an attitude of discipline. An Attitude of Discipline is greeting each day with gratitude. When you wake up in the morning, you are granted another day closer to living your dreams. Simply waking up each day is a poignant reason to be grateful. So many people will not wake up today. An attitude of gratefulness is a daily discipline. Embrace an attitude of gratitude and notice how you speak differently using powerful words and how your body language greatly improves.
Zero Tolerance Means Zero Leadership
We have all heard the horror stories regarding zero tolerance policies in the past. Stories about a teenager being expelled for having a Tylenol in her purse or a five year old removed from the classroom for bringing a toy gun to school are recent examples that have generated buzz in the press. Most of us laugh at the ridiculousness of such examples and consider them to be the exception rather than the rule for today's society. Why do such policies exist and what purpose do these extreme measures provide the organization? Do such extreme positions provide any benefit? How does such a policy reflect on the leadership within these organizations? And finally, what might be the cost for an organization that must act upon the violation of such a policy?

What I’ve Learned from Dumpster Kids, a Buddhist Monk, and Other Wise Teachers
Lesson #1: Choose your family wisely. I saw this listed in a Bangkok gym as tip number ten to “live a long life,” but it struck me as particularly poignant as I was thinking about my trip during my last run on the beach in Thailand before going back to LA.

The Debt Dilemma
A wise man once posed the poignant question, "If you can't pay for it now, what makes you think you can pay for it later?" As a society, we have dealt with debt for so long that we have become immune to it. Most people have a hard time conceiving of a million dollars, much less a billion or a trillion. If you live in the United States and would like to get a perspective on our nation's debt, go to www.USDebtClock.org.

Assessing Our Ability to Influence Others
In our personal and leadership development workshops we often conduct a 'degrees of control' exercise. We ask participants to come up with examples in the following areas: 1. Direct Control; 2. Influence; and 3. No Control. While there's often lots of debate and not always full agreement, examples under No Control generally include things like the weather, the economy, natural disasters, freak accidents, and the like. Discussions about my degree of Direct Control usually boil down to just one thing - me. However, some autocratic people fool themselves into thinking they have direct control over their teams, kids, or people reporting to them. Many other people are quick to surrender to the Victimitis Virus and declare they have no control or even influence over the behavior of anyone else.
