8 Ways Businesses Can Position to Thrive Post Covid-19 Crisis!

With no explanation we all know the waves that are sweeping off the globe. The pandemic has created a very ugly disruption for the global and local everything. Everyone is directly or indirectly affected by the pandemic. Changes will inevitably come. Nothing is going to remain the same. Amidst all, one thing is for sure – We shall make a comeback, but, we cannot come back and do business as it was pre-covid19 time. We must revise the way we do business. This revision is relative to each industry and business. But few things remain evident to make meaning in the days ahead. I explored few nuggets briefly below! And these are not thoughts to just rub on top and run but thoughts that require deep digestion. The era for pass-by, try-and-see business people is fading and thus calls for understanding of detail in every aspect. Let’s roll; Technology, e-commerce and digitization Inevitably digitalization is the way we shop and do business of late. It may seem that these innovations favor big enterprises, but the truth is that small businesses have much to gain from embracing new technologies as well and these tools are frequently both affordable and cost-effective

Naked Thoughts!

“… But I’m annoying you to no purpose with my arguments. A person whose house is only open on the west can’t see the sun rise at dawn; it’s only seen when the sun sets at dusk. If one tries to compare the color and appearance of the two, one will go on arguing forever… …The fault lies not with the vision but with the closed windows. If you look out of only one opening till the day you die, you’ll ever see anything new.” ― Saratchandra Chattopadhyay I write too much content in a day, my Facebook page is always full of opinions, controversial and provocative thoughts and jokes that are not universal but for certain people at different times. An adult friend who i respect so much recently dived into my inbox with the rare rants and toxicity towards some article i had penned the previous day. Back and forth, rightfully and respectfully, we couldn’t agree or bend down to lessen what we believe in. It was obvious we had different opinions and belief systems towards the matter. He really struggled a lot to make me bend to his conventional beliefs. Evidently i am not the type that would

How to Get a 6-Pack of the Brain!

By; Tai Lopez, Jul 06, 2017. Click : original article Everyone loves the look of a rock-hard, chiseled six pack of abs — but what about the brain? Even though you can’t see it, it’s possible to give your brain a “six pack”. How? Learning. Reading. I’ve talked extensively about reading — books on health, wealth, love, and happiness. Classics, modern books, you name it. And if you follow the steps I’ve given you and commit time to reading, it’s just like committing to building strength in the gym — you’ll be exercising those neurons in your brain and building that six pack. The Plague of Know-It-Alls Everybody recognizes the guy at the gym. The one guy who’s bulky and beefed up and drinks wheatgrass juice for breakfast and tells everyone who will listen (and even those who don’t), about it. He’s throwing around weights, grunting and squatting and generally making a scene to show off how strong he is — or thinks he is. You get these kinds of people when you learn, too. They’re the know-it-alls, the entitled people who insist that there’s only ONE way to do things and it’s THEIR way. I’ll be the first person to

What you want, wants you – to seek for it!

The biblical Matthew 7:7, Jesus said; “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”. By far this the best verse in the bible that i remind myself everyday. Not from a theoretical perspective but it clearly defines that what we want also wants us and we can find it if we seek it. I have actively applied many of the life changing principles from the Bible into my consciousness engineering and conditioning and i can show radical results. With that appetizer, let’s proceed with the article.. Some time around June, last year (2019), I passed by the grocery shop and bought grape juice and some bread , I needed them badly but the brand I found didn’t taste well, given that I was with some mild malaria, so my appetite was so low. In such a misgiving, i went to the small shop outside our residential block to ask if they had juice and bread that would taste for me good. Unfortunately, they didn’t have too. As I headed back to our block, a young single mother well known to me in our ghetto residence greeted me

Coping with Relationship Politics

Extract from the book; Family Soup “Sweetheart , you have totally changed, why?”. She asked in a sad mood. Those are the many statements we can’t miss in relationships & Marriages. I am sure that on the epitome of things for any happy relationship, there should be understanding that change will come. Many people hold on the false beliefs that things will remain the same for the rest of their lives and the people they fall in love with. Everything changes in this world, people change, places change , attitudes change, thoughts change and opinions change , but for some reason (wrong of course) we think the person we loved on day one will be the same for the rest of their lives. When you first get together with your partner, it’s like everything is out of a dream. Looks like an unimaginable dream come true, You get excited, you sweetly enjoy dates, and you imagine ways you could get the bliss ever. But as the bible says , there is time for everything to be born and to die. This whole phase of fantasies also end, which is inevitable no matter how deep and sweet in love you are.

How many people have you had sex with? & other stereotypes

I spent my adult-teenage in technical schools, mostly single schools, so we were somehow always curious to have deeper talk on sex and women. When i turned around 19, 20 something (adult), talking about a number of teats and honey pots you may have already accessed was a hero talk. You were shielded as the great. If you didn’t know, with boys this is always a hero talk. Some of us who were fearful would just coil our tails feeling like not great men because we had no or fewer numbers to boast about. With society, if you were blessed with a pen*s and have used it to make enough ‘harmless’ marks, you are crowned the man! In modern day it is okay for a man to tell a number of women they bedded in their past but when it comes to a woman then society translates it to something else. Defense sayings like : “A key that opens many locks is a master key where as a padlock that is opened by many keys is fake” In this article i want to break that stereotype. Not necessarily about sexism and stereotypes around it but about the art of being

Great People Start Before They Feel Ready

Taking the first step is by far the most difficult thing to do in achieving any dream. There are a lot of mental, physical, psychological, spiritual , everything obstacles that make it difficult to take that first step.You should not wait until the situation is perfect because the situation will never be perfect. As Chahal says; If we need something badly we should teach ourselves to be impatient. A story is told of a sixteen-year-old boy who dropped out of school in 1966. With the help of a friend, he started a magazine for students and made money by selling advertisements to local businesses. Four years later, he was looking for ways to grow his small magazine and started selling mail order records to the students who bought the magazine. The records sold well enough that he built his first record store the next year. After two years of selling records, he decided to open his own record label and recording studio. Over the next decade, the young boy grew his entrepreneurial muscle. Along the way, he continued starting companies: an airline business, then trains, then mobile phones, and on and on. Almost 50 years later, there are over 400

You are stronger than You realize

Life, just short like that in pronunciation. I wish it was that simple in reality. Life seems to be more complex than the word itself. Life throws some crazy things our way and we have to deal with them. E.g. No one expected us to be in a global lock down with panic and less predictions of what the future looks like. Many things more than the #COVID19 Pandemic happen every day; sickness, relationship loss, unemployment, job loss, name it. You may have had bigger or smaller challenges or haven’t got any but the fact is crazy things happen in life. One of the things i have stayed with at heart as i share in my book, The Champions Mojo, is that when you train yourself to not just think about the future bleak and hardships at hand but also celebrate where you were two years or few time ago before the crisis at hand , that’s when you’re able to create happiness in the now. You realize you are stronger than you are to overcome and transcend every situation. I am not a fun of movies so much but one of my favorite movies is the “Hunger Games” ,

A Creative’s Life & Imposter Syndrome

By far, the biggest struggle every creative and artist goes through is dealing with the Impostor syndrome. You will not understand this if you never put something up that made people to marvel. Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which one doubts one’s accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as “fraud”. Have you ever felt like you don’t belong to what you have become, that it looked so big for you? Like your friends or colleagues are going to discover you’re a fraud, and you don’t actually deserve all you have made and accomplishments? These feelings are known as impostor syndrome. An estimated 90% of creatives and extraordinaire experience these impostor feelings at some point in their lives and work, Impostor syndrome affects all kinds of creatives and blaze trailers. You know how you feel when you put in effort and get a new project or a whole lot more responsibility and suddenly you feel it’s unbelievable how you got. It’s as if you have to step into someone else’s shoes every day as your own just aren’t good enough. Some call it a miracle but to the creative they see it as not real
