WORRY NOT

Image
Just admit: to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life tiptoeing around. Trying to become someone else. You wanted to make a good impression with people. You wanted to make everyone like you. Well, you wanted everything to be easy and therefore sacrificed part of the truth, part of yourself for the sake of not stepping out of line. For too much of your life, you have hurt yourself. All this was as a result of worry. My friend – worry not – You’re a fisherman living alone along the coast You put your fishing pole down and sit at the water’s edge, No catch Worry not – Mum, Dad; your son/daughter was involved in a fatal accident Sister, you feel sick, you can’t have children of your own, betrayed in love, divorced Worry not – Employee, retrenchments all over and you are a victim Entrepreneur,  that tender dint come through, your partners kicked you out of the deal Hey Dude, you missed that interview, bro Worry not – Coach, Captain; Your

Entrepreneurship Touch Down

Not only do entrepreneurs think differently, but also they act differently. Entrepreneurship isn't a destination. It's a journey. On this journey, successful entrepreneurs don't have an exception of arriving to some finish line. In any journey, you have times of joy and more than a few setbacks. Challenges along the way can either lead you to profit & growth, or losses & collapse. "My biggest hurdle was defeating the existing competition. Many of the colleges that offered diploma courses had been in existence for over 10 years, but I stuck to my guns." Lizzie  Wanyoike , Founder & CEO NIBS "Gaining traction takes time, and for me , it took three years before I broke even. I did not make money in the first year. Always be patience and eventually, the money will come." Alison, CEO of AI Is On Production LTD. Many entrepreneurs celebrate the big wins, but what about the small wins?

We build things and make things happen on our own terms: We are architects of our destiny(s). However, over the years, I put pieces of myself in every story and my perspective has shifted. Reflect about this; *The young man who had his life turned upside down by cancer. *The young woman, and mother of two, who lost her husband to death at 27. *The hard-working employee who lost her job when her employer of 25 years filed for bankruptcy. Life will take things from you, gradually & continuously. It's funny how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn't live without and then we fall in love with what we didn't even know we wanted. It's until later that you will realize and feel fully comfortable with some of the best chapters of your life. As they arise, do your best to embrace life's uncertainties. Inner strength & courage don't always ring out loud. Sometimes these qualities are merely embodied by a deep breath & a soft whis

She was  perfect  in his  eyes .  He was  perfect  in her  eyes   (he guessed.) But what happens next? Would everything fall into place? Was  it the  right  time to  be certain that they were  supposed  to be  together   forever ? Oh, it' s  the majestic harmony of  young  love!  When two  souls   meet  - and  gaze  into each other's  eyes . Tony, a  young  man, met Kaylee, a beautiful & a desirable  young  woman on a  mission  to  climb   Nevada de  Colima   Mountain. Both seemed to be  finding  something  new ,  meet  someone  new  who might  see   things  a little differently.  Isn't that what everybody is  looking  for -  making  a  difference? Many would  hear  this and  agree  with  it  - the  feelings  that  steer  our  romantic  relationships are  quite  similar to those that  steer  our  motivation  to  make  a   meaningful   impact  in our  lives  and  thus  a  meaningful   impact  in the  world . "A  little passion is all that is required to start,
