Hi Everyone,
Do you know any young entrepreneurs? I had a meeting with a Caribbean Programme Coordinator for Young Americas Business Trust, who informed me about the entrepreneurs competition being run by their organisation - Deadline for part 1: 1 March 2010.

Income Streams
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
When you have a business or better still when you are designing the business consider creating different streams of income. One of the ways I am starting to generate additional income is through speaking events. I will be speaking about 'The Audacity of Passion' in April on a Cruise. http://www.findingdefinitions.com/momcruise
Once you have different streams of income you are diversifying and therefore not only increasing your potential income, but also spreading your risk, by not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Are you still dreaming about your business or your next business venture or have you started your preparation?
If you have congrats, if not, what is stopping you? What one thing can you do today, to move your business or new venture forward? It does not have to be a big step E.g put your thoughts down, make a call to find out some info, contact a potential client, work out your finances, create a list of your skills that will support the business or venture. One small step!

Global Employment Trends - ILO
The number of jobless worldwide reached nearly 212 million in 2009 following an unprecedented increase of 34 million compared to 2007, on the eve of the global crisis, the International Labor Office (ILO) said in its annual Global Employment Trends report. Based on IMF economic forecasts, the ILO estimates that global unemployment is likely to remain high through 2010. In the Developed Economies and European Union unemployment is projected to increase by an additional 3 million people in 2010, while it will stabilize at present levels, or decline only slightly, in other regions. The ILO also said the number of unemployed youth worldwide increased by 10.2 million in 2009 compared to 2007, the largest hike since 1991. At the same time, the ILO report shows wide variations in the employment impact of the crisis between regions and countries as well as in labor market recovery prospects. The report says that coordinated stimulus measures have averted a far greater social and economic catastrophe; yet millions of women and men around the world are still without a job, unemployment benefits or any viable form of social protection. “As the World Economic Forum gathers at Davos, it is clear that avoiding a jobless recovery is the political priority of today” said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. “We need the same policy decisiveness that saved banks now applied to save and create jobs and livelihoods of people. This can be done through strong convergence of public policies and private investment.”

There are no regrets!
Hi Everyone,
I was supposed to be participating in today's Trinidad marathon, my
first!! But due to my hamstring injury, this was not to be!! This could
have been a very sad day, but it is a great day! 2 weeks I held a
workshop with two associates and this sparked great interest and we
were contacted for an interview with one of Trinidad's
national newspaper for a feature article. The article came out today
and this has made me smile and helped today be a special day full of
great opportunities and possibilities, rather than one of regret!

New Year....New Behaviours!
Hello Everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
So, it’s New Year’s resolution time again!!! Or have you given up because they are never achieved?
Have you ever thought about why your New Year’s resolutions are not often achieved? Especially when we have such good intentions:
o Loose weight
o Find a new job
o Change career
o Start a new business
o Get closer to family
o Make more money
o Save more money and the list goes on!!!
So what are we doing wrong?
Are we mad? Possibly!!! Do you know what the definition of madness is? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
How many of us actually think through what behaviours we need to change to achieve these ‘new’ goals?
If for the previous year you have eaten KFC, huge spoonfuls of rice with every meal, snacked on chocolate and chips and exercise only up to Carnival Saturday, why are you surprised you did not loose weight and if you do the same again this year, guess what? The same disappointment you felt this year, will be felt again!! We don’t need a crystal ball to see the outcome!!!
Also, if you intended to save $50,000 for the last year, but you went to all the Carnival fetes, bought clothes, ate out every week and went on vacations, no wonder you have no savings and owe your credit card company $000s.
So what is the answer?
I have found the missing ingredients!!!!!
BEHAVIOURS!!!!!
B old Statements to
E nhance my life
H abits stopped
A nd replaced with new ones
V isible progress leads to
I deal celebrations
O nce the resolutions are made, I need to
U nderstand the role of friends and family who will be
R eliable and supportive and who will help me to
S ucceed
So decide on the behaviours you need to change and let 2010 be your BEST YEAR YET!!!
Live YOUR Passion

It's all coming along nicely
Hi Everyone,
I meant the book development, not the Christmas preparation!!
How is your Christmas shaping up? I can't believe that it will be Christmas Day on Friday?!! We have the tree up and decorated...hurray, but we have not bought a single gift yet!! That's tomorrow's action and focus!!
With regards to the book, things are working well. The copy for the back of the book and the about Author (yes, that's me, the Author!:)) page was completed today.
Today I signed off on the font, layout and graphics to be used in the book with the book designer.
I have narrowed the cover down to two final choices, I will decide by tomorrow, if you want to take part, let me know, give me your email address and I will send you the cover choices.
The layout cover etc will be completed by Christmas eve and the final final editing before publishing completed by 29th December!!
Have you ever dreamt about writing a book? If yes, what do you need to let go of, to move you closer to your dream?

A Slight Set Back
Hi Everyone,
I don't know if any of you have realised that I have not been talking about my marathon training for a while!!
Well, I have pulled my hamstring and therefore have been unable to run!!:(
I rested for a few days, then I ran about two weeks ago, it was fine while I was running, but after I was in pain and it is still painful, even to walk on occasion!!
But I am not letting this get me down. I will still participate in the marathon. I will rest for the Christmas period and come back out again in the new year!
A friend who competed in a marathon shared today, that I can run in the water for 45 mins and this will help to take pressure off my legs, but also allow me to keep training.
What set backs are you working on overcoming?

Some feedback on my book
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share with you some feedback I received on the draft manuscript
'The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom combines a personal account of the author's experiences regarding entrepreneurship with the essential procedures for starting a business.

I had a Dilemma
Hi Everyone,
I had a dilemma the other day. One of the chapters in my new book 'The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom' mentions Tiger Woods!!
Tiger Woods is actually mentioned in the chapter on Passion!! But here the passion is Golf!!
My dilemma was that, as Tiger Woods is currently in the news for his alleged affairs, should I take him out of my book? Tiger had good a great clean image, but now?
But I decided to keep him in the book. The reason being, my inclusion of Tiger Woods, is about when one connects to their passions they can become profitable and also as talented as Tiger Woods is, he still had a coach. The reason being, he cannot see himself, therefore needs an outside viewpoint of his performance.
Despite what Tiger has or has not done, cannot take away what he has accomplished in the past in golf. So I am keeping him in my book!!
However I am not sure what the future holds, for Tiger or PGA financial projections, as I read that the negative press around Tiger Woods could cost Tiger Woods and PGA millions.

Update
Hi Everyone,
How are you? The book is coming along nicely the first edited manuscript will be ready this weekend!!
I have received 3 designs for the book cover, so I need to review them and provide my feedback to the book designer.
I have sent a few chapters to business associates to read and provide testimonials once the book resonates with them.
I decided to dedicate the book to my mother Merle Guy Terry and my new niece Fallon Terry.
And I have bought the domain name www.theamazingraceforentrepreneurialfreedom.com.
So things are moving, it is getting pretty exciting!
Next week I will need to secure the services of a web designer for the web page and I am still deciding on the wording for the web page or whether I should hire someone to help me! And I need to secure the services of another editor, to read through the full manuscript, to ensure all is well.
I went for a run on Tuesday, which went well, a bit slower than normal 58 mins 22 sec for 5 miles normal time is 54 - 55 minutes. But on Tuesday evening until today, my leg is hurting, it is either a pulled muscle or my hamstring. So I have to rest it. I will go back on Monday. This is annoying but better to rest it now, than do so really bas damage!!
I have not registered for the marathon yet, I have been told that the registration forms are not ready yet!!

Book and Marathon update
Hi Everyone,
How was your weekend? Mine was great. My best friend Brenda is here in Trinidad for 2 weeks, so we have been catching up. We went on a hike with a group called Hikers World and after the hike, they had a little get together (or a lime, as they say in Trinidad), with lots of food and drinks. That was a nice surprise!!
And then yesterday, I went to see my sister Dora and spent some time with my new niece Fallon (who is a wonderful, gorgeous happy baby) and my mother!!
With regards to my first book, The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, I am busy reviewing the chapters and making the final changes!! This is so exciting. The first 13 chapters are ready!!
I secured the services of a great book designer today, who will create the book cover and be responsible for the internal layout of the book. The plan is to have the choices for the book cover by Friday. I might even let you help me choose. Would you like that?
With regards to my marathon training, this is not going so well. I pulled a muscle in my left leg a few days again, but I was still running on it. It hurt to run, but did not hurt when I ran. But I think I aggravated on the hike, so yesterday when I went out for my run, I could not run!!
So I had to walk. I decided to rest my leg today and I will get back out running tomorrow. I only have 48 days until the marathon, so HAVE TO increase my distance running.
What's new with you? How are you processing towards your current goal? I know it is coming to the end of the year, but push yourself right up to the 31 December 2009 finishing line.
Bye for now

How was your weekend? Mine was great. My best friend Brenda is here in Trinidad for 2 weeks, so we have been catching up. We went on a hike with a group called Hikers World and after the hike, they had a little get together (or a lime, as they say in Trinidad), with lots of food and drinks. That was a nice surprise!!
