So, today I share what happened after a client looked me straight in the eye and asked: “Have you ever heard of ISO?” Now, if you’ve been following my Story Saturday series, you’ll remember where we left off. We were at a client's office, chatting about Forever Living products, and after listening…

Last week, I missed our usual #StorySaturday. Life was a bit full, and by the time I remembered on Monday… well, Saturday had already passed me by. So, here I am—back, and picking up from where we left off. If you remember, I shared how a simple act of sitting quietly in a café reading a book led…

If you’ve been following the last few #StorySaturday posts, then you’ll remember the journey that started with a keynote in 2017 and led me to Heritage Insurance Company — and ultimately to the beginning of a book club. Now, that book club might have seemed like just another client activity, but in…

So… last week, I promised to share what happened when an unexpected opportunity knocked on my door—or rather, slid into my inbox—thanks to the blog I had started way back in 2011. Let’s rewind a little. There I was, consistently pouring my thoughts into blog posts, not because anyone asked me to,…

Yesterday, I had a conversation that stirred something deep in me. If you didn’t already know, one of the things I truly enjoy, maybe even a little too much, is writing and reading. Over the years, that passion has evolved into something more: editing manuscripts, reports, individual bios, and…

After high school, I had one goal: to go to college. But finances at home were tight, and university felt like a distant dream. Still, I had a plan—I was going to find a job, save up, and take myself to school. That goal became my north star. My first job was at a laundromat. It was humbling in…

We all have dreams.  In the journey towards achieving those dreams, we will encounter individuals who may not see our vision or understand the path we are taking. Sometimes, their lack of understanding can cast shadows on our aspirations, often making us doubt our own brilliance and abilities…

At the beginning of this year, I purposed in my heart that I would become a medal hunter. Actually this is something I said to myself towards the end of last year. My first medal hunting experience was in February this year, on the eve of my 45th birthday. That day was a first for me in many ways;…

If you know me well then you must know I love writing, though for 11 months now I haven’t written any blog post. I intend to change that in 2020. Having not blogged in a while, I hadn’t envisioned myself making a comeback on such a sombre note. However, the circustamces require that I do so…

“There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.” George Burton Adams I used to…

If there is one thing that is certain in business, it is uncertainty; still some companies perform reliably well and with excellence in spite of changing circumstances and business conditions, while others completely collapse. Why? There is evidence showing that those that survive uncertainty have…

Hello my dear Esteemed Reader. Happy New Year 2019 to you and yours!   I am truly grateful that you and I are still here this year. It may look like it is just a normal thing but from some of the news I got towards the last few hours of 2018, I just cannot take being alive today for granted. I…

We only have one more day to go before we store 2018 away together will all the other years that have passed before this one. If I may be bold enough to ask you, on a scale of 0 – 10, how would you rate your 2018, 0 being the worst and 10 being the best? Secondly, on a scale of 0 – 10 how would you…

When I started the #52BooksIn52Weeks2018 Book Reading Challenge, I thought I had an idea of the kind of books I would read for the year. If you have been following my trend, you will realize that I started mostly with personal development books because that is what I really needed; to develop…

Every so often I allow myself to just sit and watch human beings being weird, as they do things that are truly embarrassing.    Let’s take a good example of the nicely dressed guy who just stepped out of his black colored machine. His ensemble suggested that while others were complaining…
