Hi,
Received an email today, that my first book, The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, has been approved and is ready for the printing!
What an amazing feeling - another dream realised.
Currently finishing the accompanying workbook and the webpage! I will keep you posted.
What dream do you want to become a reality?
Thank you for all your support and encouragement during this journey!

Forget the excuses and reach for the opportunities and don't let go!

What light will you create for people to search for?
Hi,
I just read this beautiful story posted by Michael on LinkedIn
It’s from a book called “Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom for a Complicated World” by Noah ben Shea. What a GREAT title!
It’s about a “simple” baker who leaves little stories for people to find in the bread he bakes. Anyway, one of the stories is called, “Death is Also a Door”
Here it is:
Two children who had become dependent on Jacob, were concerned about what they would do as he grew older and one day died.
Jacob, sensing this, drew the children near and told them this story:
“Once there was a student who was with a teacher for many years. And, when the teacher felt he was going to die, he wanted to make even his death a lesson.
That night, the teacher took a torch, called his student, and set off with him through the forest.
“Soon they reached the middle of the woods where the teacher extinguished the torch, without explanation.
“’What is the matter?’ asked the student.
“This torch has gone out,’ the teacher answered and walked on.
“‘But,’ shouted the student, his voice plucking his fear, ‘will you leave me here in the dark?’
“‘No!’ I will not leave you in the dark,’ returned his teacher’s voice from the surrounding blackness. ‘I will leave you searching for the light.’”
In your amazing race, what light will you create for people to search for?

The Power of Words
Hi,
I hope you like poetry. This poem expresses for me when we are at peace with ourselves, know our abilities and trust ourselves to follow our dreams.
'The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life' Love After Love Derek Walcott
Does this resonate with you?
You will feel like this as you embark on your amazing race!

Interview with a Successful Entrepreneur
Hello,
How was your weekend?
I had a great time. Had a business meeting and a coaching client on Saturday during the day and in the evening visited my sister and my lovely niece.
Sunday visited my sister again and then I watched world cup final.
Last week I attended a live interview with a successful Trinidadian entrepreneur Arthur Lok Jack (see bio http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Biography/ArthurLokJack.htm) and I thought I would share with you a summary of the information received at the event - over the next few days.
There are 2 ways to grow a business: Organic and Inorganic Growth
Organic Growth
- Increasing your top line (revenue/sales): through increasing your market share in existing markets - either finding new customers and/or selling more to existing clients
- Business growth: Introducing new products, going into new markets
Inorganic Growth
- Through mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
M&A help you to have rapid growth, as purchasing/joining with an existing business with existing clients.

Don't deny yourself the joys of life
Hi,
I subscribe to Jane Powell's daily meditation. http://www.meditationsforwomen.com/meditations/?p=1640&cpage=1#comment-2158
Here posts are always great.
A quote from today is
“A life without mistakes is lived without joy.”
Too many times we get trapped by FEAR! We need to let loose and step forward and enjoy the experience of living life to the full!
