YOU CAN MAKE IT IN 2010 – THE TIME TO BUILD IS NOW!

It was a well enjoyed Christmas Season from all appearances. I am happy to note the special efforts made by many persons to maintain the Christmas tradition. It is now time to say Goodbye to 2009. A year that will long be remembered for the ravages it caused many. Losses came from many angles and left a trail of disappointments and sufferings. The challenge is not for us to look back and feel helpless but to summon all the courage and move forward because this is the time to build.

I have been very encouraged by the many emails I received in the past few weeks pointing to the need to set achievable goals and use systems that will empower our minds to achieve whatever goals we set. For many this programme will necessitate the services of a Life Coach. Don’t be shy get connected to people who can provide support for your personal development. Develop your own Mastermind Group. You need to be empowered mentally, physically, financially and socially. Check out www.brainstorminggroup.webs.com and be a part of a group that is provided timely updates.

The world is filled with anxieties and uncertainties. As 2009 closes and people who were seriously hurt try to put the past year behind them, we are now terrorized by the thought of 2012 dooms day. There is already a movie and several other financial interests will come up with books and other programmes to take our money in our quest for information. Do you remember Y2K when the computer system was supposed to fail and cause global disruption? Did it happen? The answer is NO! Those of us who read the Bible know that we live in a world without end. In a moment the world will be transformed and if 2012 is that year, I will surely be in the rapture. Even the Apostle Paul felt that the world would have end in his time. Most of the famous religious leaders of our time have out lived their doom and gloom predictions.

I promised in my last article to share with you some ideas and opportunities for 2010 and I take this opportunity to deliver on my promise:
1. To survive in today’s economy you must have faith in your abilities and put them to the test in whatever area/s you feel confident that you can achieve success.
2. There are new industries that are opening up. One to watch is the Environment. Another is technology which can cause a number of businesses which would have been thought out of bounds because of huge start up capital outlay to be well within the grasp of the average person. Small businesses are going to advance at a faster pace in 2010 than in previous years.
3. Regardless of your chosen field of expertise, take a course in Salesmanship and equip yourself with a scientific approach to selling yourself and your services.
4. The Referral Business will take on a new direction as businesses become more competitive and referrals will be one sure way to increase opportunities to do business.
5. Attention to internet businesses will increase as individuals realize that there are businesses that can be transacted on the internet from their homes. Home based businesses will be on the rise. Visit www.clickbank.com and investigate the Affiliate and Vendor opportunities.
6. Multi Level Marketing has had its knocks but when the power of the internet is truly realized, MLM will produce a level of prosperity never seen before in the region. The Heads of Government in the region talked about owning our own cruise liner but nothing has happened so far. Caribbean people need to take on the leadership role. There are many ideas that can be converted into viable MLM projects. It is time that someone comes up come a uniquely Caribbean MLM project.
7. There is a shortage of Leaders of Industry; the world can always do with more of these special people. Use the Search Engines on the Internet to investigate opportunities that can propel you to leadership role in Industry.
8. Understand the true meaning of the word – INNOVATION and go to work to bring better ways of producing and doing things. Innovation is also about improving things.
9. Don’t sit on your assets. Put them to work for you. Land Development is going to be big business for those who get on board now. There are companies that will do a joint venture programme with you to develop and market your property.
10. Specialised Sales Outlets will be in demand in the future. There are many categories of products that will be able to stand alone. Let your business be the first on the minds of potential customers.

This opportunity is taken to invite you to visit my archive at: www.stluciasimplybeautiful.com where you can follow me on the several issues and suggestions I made over the past several years. I continue to place a lot of emphasis on the Internet which I believe is the equalizer in business. A simple idea introduced to the world via the Internet could be your passbook to the bank. Let us plan to do more on the Internet in the New Year.

I highly recommend www.linkedin.com as the Social Network for professionals and entrepreneurs. Lots of new ideas can be sourced there. In the real estate business, I sourced information on Fractional Homes Sales which will be a new in resort development.

Here is a excerpt from the Earth is Flat – “The way to succeed is not by stopping the railroad line from connecting you, but by firing up your imagination, by upgrading your skills, and by adopting those practices, rules, policies, and educational institutions that will enable you and your society to claim a healthy slice of the bigger but more complex pie”.

Here is my motivational pick of the week: The feature will be discontinued in 2010.

Nothing External To You Has Power Over You
Great things are accomplished when you believe that what’s inside of you is superior to your circumstances. What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you.
You’re more important than any of your problems. You’re bigger than anything that can happen to you.
Courage is a special kind of knowledge. It’s the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.
True courage is a result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable.
Reality is something you rise above.
