Are you also a doubter?

I know there are many people throughout the world and inparticular from South Africa who upon hearing the terms 'passive income,' work from home' or 'business opportunity', would want nothing to do with any of these which are now advertised all over the Net.

Travel Companions in 2009

Timidity and mediocrity are cousins that are to be avoided at all costs and replaced by courage and boldness who are brothers that point the way to a better future along the road marked 'change'.

All business requires 'change' it… Continue

Magicians & Parrots

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, It's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?" The magician was furious but coul… Continue

ARTICLE 3 WHAT TO DO WHEN . . . . STAFF GO AWOL! PART 2 By Nikki Viljoen – N Viljoen Consulting CC - March 2008. So here we are back with the dilemma that Mike finds himself in. A staff member who is AWOL, that cannot be contacted – too much work for one person, and the possibility of falling foul of the law if he just dismisses said employee and hires another one!

Marketing, Mice and Mouse "Traps"

A while back the buzz phrase about a marketing strategy plan was that if you set the biggest, best mouse “Trap” the largest share of the market was yours for the taking. Rather cheesy … I always thought, while having an internal giggle!!! You see, I’ve never been particularly fond of mice, nor felt the need to “Trap” anyone. Instead I prefer to have my “Cheese (cake)” and eat it!!! Now you may be feeling confused and wondering whether this is about a marketing plan or a baking recipe? It’s ac… Continue

When developing a marketing strategy plan, you need to know and understand your market. The pink market that I always call “W2W” – woman to woman is… Continue
