Shuffle mixer at Thompson Hotel : Event review

Wednesday January 8th

It was an amazing evening to go to my first networking event of the year at the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel

Shuffle Mixer was happening and it was packed room of professionals and entrepreneurs.

I had 5 amazing conversations and 2 of them may lead to new clients!

Not a bad night for 2 hours of strategic networking

Moral of the story: Before you go out have a plan as to how many people you have to speak to and engage with. Don’t just give your business card make them earn it!

You have great work and life and experience and you decided to write a book, Can you share why?

I wrote this book Jim because 1^st   it validates my Purpose. I believe we are all books being lived out. I am a page in your book Jim and you are a chapter in mine.  That said we all have a message to share that can make this world a better place by personally developing ourselves. 

 Most of us just choose to exist rather than living. This brings me to my 2nd reason.  Living to me is leaving a legacy behind for those to follow when I am beyond the grave. Leaving a legacy allows you to transcend time. 

I believe professionals, working a career/job should look into entrepreneurship because being and entrepreneur, you get to control your own economy.   85% of the people you meet do not like their job. They are unhappy, miserable and give off negative vibrations. When you find your PURPOSE, which I can help you with and mix it with PASSION, you can MONETIZE it because everything can be monetized. Most people want to spend time with their family & friends doing what they Love but they are stuck in a rut and dying daily. I have discovered my Purpose & Passion and I am living my Dream.

2nd

Why should professionals working a career look into looking into entrepreneurship and having a plan

I can sum up the answer to your Question in one word but I am sure you want the long version. 

Jim I want you to imagine I have a pair of binoculars in my hand. Is it safe to say before the binoculars was a product it was an idea? Is it safe to say the idea came about because the binoculars was a solution to a problem? Therefore the binoculars came into existence with Purpose.

Let's shift now to this earth. Man has learned that every living thing on this earth from the birds to the bees and the water to the trees, has a Purpose! I conclude with this, if man's creations has a purpose, and all of creation has purpose, why not man?  I believe each and everyone of us was given certain gifts and talents that when discovered, harness and practiced will lead us to our destiny.

Five ways to manage your life and business during the holidays

With the holiday season upon us, many business owners struggle between making time for their family while giving their business the attention it needs. The fact is that in most cases, it's the business that wins. Here's five tips to help you focus more on yourself and your family without stressing about the business. Plan ahead. Notify customers, suppliers and anyone else who might need to reach you that you'll be working reduced hours or will be away between certain dates. Set up an auto response email and update your voicemail greeting accordingly.   Limit your "response time". Set aside a period of time each day to check and respond to email and voicemail. Try to keep responses to a minimum. It's okay to acknowledge a customer's inquiry. Just be sure to let them know you're on holiday and will look into it upon your return.   Reflect. Being away from the office can give you the time and energy to focus and plan for the year ahead. Think about what changes you would like to make, create new goals and plan your strategy.   Don't worry. You're not going to lose any business because you choose to take a holiday. And any customer that threatens to leave you because you are is a customer you don't want.   Never apologize. You have just as much right to take a holiday as anyone else. That's one of the perks of being the boss. Never apologize or feel bad for doing so. You've earned it!
