When is the right time? The right time to start a business? The right time to start a family? The right time to start a degree? It's never going to be the right time. The right time is NOW. You'll never really know if you're ready for that next step unless you actually take it. So empower yourself to take that
As a startup, and even as an existing business, it's becoming seemingly harder to get clients to commit to business for a set duration. However, for some businesses, it might mean the difference between sinking, floating and sailing. Committing clients to a five year contract for a simple service in this economy is ludicrous. Six-month and twelve-month contracts with three
The rule of three is simple. Pick three things you want to achieve today. And focus all your efforts on those three things. By doing this, you end up clearing your task list much faster than you expected, you're not as drained, and you're more relaxed, because you only have three things to do today. The bonus is that when
I've been seeing many entrepreneurs and business owners burning the midnight oil, night after night. I'm awake at some crazy hours (and my Twitter TL is flooded with you owls), but I somehow manage to get a solid eight hours of sleep (or sometimes a little more!) Not getting enough sleep for an extended period isn't something to be proud
How much do you value your time? Do you have a dollar figure per hour? Every business has tasks that no one wants to do, but someone has to do it, right? And if no one else can do it, then you have to do it, right? Wrong. When you, as a specifically-skilled individual, have to do a million things
How are you adding value to the world? With every word that you say, every action that you make, how are you adding value? With this blog, adding value is key to its success, but also adding an element of speed, is key. Shorter blog posts packed with sometimes just two lines of the value bomb. Longer isn't better, I've
Have you ever had an idea that you wanted to discuss but you were SO afraid of someone stealing it that you said nothing, and nothing ever came of that idea? We have ALL had ideas like those. And the bullet to the chest is when you see someone else, totally unrelated to you, execute your idea... better. Unfortunately, what
Inbox Zero... the seemingly unattainable feat. Here is an easy method to get you to inbox zero: When you read something, you do one of three things: If you need to action something in the email, flag it and leave it in the inbox. If you do not need to action it but you should keep it for future reference,
You can read hundreds of articles and books on getting things done, and download dozens of the top rated productivity apps in the App Store, but there is one method that many "productivity gurus" seem to forget to mention... Just sit down and do the fucking work! There. That's the best piece of advice I can give to anyone about
No, I am not speaking about the rancid, yellow crap in the supermarket. I’m talking about the good, rich, clear, homemade stuff you can purchase at your local market from mostly an old, indian lady, who makes and uses it herself. My grandmother swore by the thing; she made it herself (according to my memory), and she believed it was
Life is busy…. it’s a circus. But there is one thing that can bring some clarity to your life, some grounding, some focus – and that’s the calendar. In biblical times, back when people used paper to write things down, there existed a phenomenon called ‘diaries’ and people would map out their day’s appointments, meetings and tasks in this ‘diary’
Recently, I’ve embarked on a lifechanging diet. I feel great, but I’m surrounded by people saying that “diets don’t work” and I’m going to “end up putting all the weight back on” (and because I’m already pretty thin, I’ve got people asking me why on earth am I ‘dieting’ because I don’t need to lose weight), but what if it
Project and time management have always been a natural talent for me; I’ve never struggled with it, and I’ve excelled with projects despite my ADHD. Over the last couple of months, I’ve been noticing a slow decline in my productivity, and a scary decrease in my short term memory. It’s a frightful thing at 24 when you cannot remember details
"If you write it, they will come." No. They won’t. Yes, they will. No. They won’t. Well, maybe ten years ago. But, not today. Blogging is not just about writing a couple articles and calling it a day. You have to research, write, edit, edit, edit, format, insert rich media content, *preview*, then publish. THEN the work really begins. After
For those who don't know, my career was in Events and Project Management before I took the dive to pursue my deep love for technology. I was 17 when I hosted my first event, which naturally was a total flop, but great lessons to be learned from that story, and I've had the fantastic experience of working on Trinidad's biggest
