More solutions than problems

Dear Blogreader,

I am currently reading ¨10 stupid things women do to mess up their lives¨ by Laura Schlessinger.Its such an eye-opener for all types of women.We all know some of the stories Laura Schlessinger shares from her radio show days and which are documented in this book.These stories are either personal and or of other women we know.I like her tone in addressing the issues,and of course the title of the book sets the tone for a thought-provoking read.I admit some of the stories are shocking as to how they could happen,but then there are subtle ideas that are empowering and make for a great turnaround from female self-destructive behaviour.The author´s biography is ¨interesting¨ in its own right,but it takes nothing away from this book´s intentions to throw some truths back at women to do something about their approach to relationships with men in general.

Enjoy and some comments are welcome

Time units

To find out what an hour is...Ask perfomer on stage

To find out what 30 minutes are...Ask a traveller who misses a flight

To find out what a 15 minutes are...Ask a student who couldnt complete an exam

To find out what a 5 minutes are...Ask a interviwee who arrives late

To find out what a 1 minutes is...Ask an F1 driver about to overturn another driver

To find out what a one second is...We both know.Or maybe we dont acknowledge anymore.However,its every breathe we take.

Cheerio,

Acquire a million Euros

Dear Blogreader,

Today I decided to put this as an activity and do each day one thing to achieve this dream.I want to achieve this goal by December 31 2008!

The deadline is set.
The objective is clear.
Im confident the-how will become clear every day(like Les Brown say HOW is none of my business)
All I need to work on is myself,daily.
Honour all my commitments
Do as I intend and intend as I want to do.
Keep the company of above-average people.Simply put,people who are smarter,more spiritual than me!

Cowabunga,

Dont mix social lives

Dear Blogreader,

I have realised that it can be tricky gathering many different people I know in diffferent circumstances together.Well,I actually alwasy knew this but thought,lets be a happy family and it didnt work so well.

Well,apart from this social sore-thumb,the weekend went well.I went to a Christmas Bazaar and met some wonderful people.I bought lots of self-development books.My favourite being,Dr. Laura Schlezzinger´s ¨10 stupid things women do to mess up their lives.¨.I have some exciting personal finance material as well all bought at rock-bottom prices.

Till soon,

Lets keep being introspective.

Postmortem of Presentation No 2

Dear Blogreader,

I had a second home party/presentation at home.Only 2 out of the 8 expected people I asked arrived.This time I followed up more people and sent reminders but this did not prove effective.Anyway,the one thing I would say I learnt from this experience was that every presentation polished up on your professionalism and content.You get more questions so you learn what you know and what you dont and this is ALWAYS important for any budding marketer.The second lesson was that bringing people out to a home meeting can raise some resistance etc.The best thing is to weave any networking concept into a conversation without trying to sell a person.Lead with the program,not the product!

Let the learning continue.

Till soon!

What can you do in 3 minutes?

Dear blogreader,

I opened this page just before midnight to write this so I could have something written before the day ¨closes¨.And now I have an opportunity to write after 0:00am which means its 2 articles on 2 days in a matter of minutes.How we think about time is an act of higher consciousness!Therefore thats what I could do in 3 minutes!It would be nice to hear what you got done in a similar time frame¿?
