We Touch Tomorrow

The present moment represents one of the greatest times to be alive in human history. We have so much going on in the world and the ample opportunities available to make a difference have never been this high. Everyone and anyone has an equal opportunity to make a difference in any sphere of life. The question however is how do you make a difference if you are unable to spot an opening, traditionally referred to as an opportunity? How do you spot an opportunity in a world where everyone is denouncing the lack of these opportunities? The answer to that question is one of the most basic but fundamental answers that you will ever get, how many of you have heard people especially those that are successful say “opportunities are everywhere, you just need to look for them and embrace them when they come your way”? Most people’s sentiments to statements like that are often along the lines of, “I have been trying but I cannot seem to get through, or maybe these opportunities are reserved for ...

1.   You – this is the most important of all the concepts, you need to know and understand yourself, most people struggle with this one because people assume that they pretty much know themselves! Who knows you better than yourself right?! Wrong, if you do not know and understand yourself, you are bound to make elementary mistakes that will cost you dearly! You need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are, for instance; do you have the will and ability to do what needs to be done for your venture to succeed? Do not be mesmerised by the idea of having a business if you know full well that you are not prepared to put in the overtime for your business to succeed. If you are not willing to grind until success knows you by name then starting a business is not for you, you can have the greatest of ideas but if you are not going to work that idea then that idea is as good as the rest that will never see the light of day! 2. Understand your customers -  understand who yo...

Sales form the core of all and any business sustenance and growth therefore without sales there is no business! In this modern day it is critical that businesses stay abreast with the trends that their customers and clients are interested in and tailor their businesses to meet those customers and clients at their most convenient meeting places like social media. In a world where more than 3 billion people are on social media from a population of over 7.5 billion people in the world (as reported by We are Social and Hootsuite ), it is quite obvious that for most companies social media is a very good place to launch sales campaigns. However these campaigns need to be structured in a way that they connect with the intended audiences. Knowing your audiences or target market is fundamental to running a successful advertisement campaign in any platform whether it be on social media platforms or the old fashioned television and radio ads. Therefore if you are going to run an advertiseme...

What is success? I ask this because no two people will have the same definition of what success is unless if they have conspired to give the same definition…okay jokes aside let us be serious for a minute, let us each define how we would explain success to another person in our own words. My definition of success: consistently applying basic principles that are aligned with my journey and learning to improve on everything I do. Whatever I do, I always strive to do it better than the last time! The more I improve the better I am consistently applying the basic principles of success Now that you have thought about it and defined it in your own words, do you feel any different? Do you feel emotionally attached to your definition or your emotions were already attached to your definition? Making success more personal helps you work more on the things that are specific to you while still applying the basic principles of success and not fall in the trap of doing what everybody el...

" Deal with the things that are of interest to you first before attempting something you just caught on the grapevine, like that your chances at success will almost multiply"

Take advantage of your circumstances, don’t allow them to take advantage of you

Never be afraid to let everyone know you are in the room but never allow your presence to be the centre of a cause greater than that of the many

How does one network? What is the purpose of networking? The more appropriate question  is "how does one network effectively and what does it mean to network effectively"? Learn how to network effectively. Network on purpose FIRST  rule of networking is Networking with a Purpose! However the more obvious and apparent rule of networking is that it's a science of meeting people and building professional relations. You will never build your network if you do not go out there and meet people. Always make time to attend seminars, gala dinners, sport events, gym or any events that might be of interest to you and where you are going to meet people.
