If you study Sir Richard Branson, you'll find that he has built a…

Are you about to give up? Learn from a shocking story of how Winston Churchill lost his parliamentary seat after the Second World War to a man everybody thought was a joker and disliked. For several years, that man had contested against Churchill. Not only was he a poor speaker, his manifesto was disliked by almost all the voters in his constituency. This did not deter him. For years he kept coming back and Churchill kept thrashing him at the poll. After the sixth attempt, something happened. The people of…

I am a strong proponent of entrepreneurship. It is the primary, most viable route, to the pinnacle of the American Dream – the best way to achieve true financial and lifestyle freedom through your own hard work, ingenuity, determination and drive. For many people, who do not have the start-up capital or the credit line necessary to access the required funds, starting a “traditional” small business is out of reach. But there is another way: that being relationship marketing (RM) or, as it is often called, network marketing or multilevel…

I recently wrote this advice to a mate of mine who's setting up his own business. I shared it on my Facebook page & had a great response from people already running businesses to those just starting up, so thought I'd share it here. 1. Business is 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration. 2. It's not about how good you are at what you do – that's a given. It's all about sales & marketing & relationships & getting the message out there.

Feeling trapped, frustrated and overworked. Let me share with you the solution that I have found. There are many reasons why people quit their jobs and go it on their own.

The great thing about a modern society is that we keep track of everything and numbers never lie. You can literally tell the future by studying the numbers. As a child looking at the various statistics you can make decisions that will lead you down the path of doom or glory. Based on statistics a child can know if they take drugs what type of life they are likely to have. Or if they play sports what type of health they will have later in life. If they drop out…

There are some people who wait until the very last minute to resolve issues. This may not be a big deal in some cases, but in other instances, any noticeable issues should be fixed, as quickly as possible. This is especially true when it comes to things like elevator repair problems. One of the reasons that elevator repair projects shouldn't be delayed is because of the inconveniences they could cause. For instance, just imagine hospitals experiencing problems with their elevators. There's a chance that this could turn into more than…
