St. Lucia Simply Beautiful

Congratulations to you and to your publishers who have obviously shown faith in your ability to communicate a vital message to all MSMEs

My objective in this book is to present to my readers a holistic approach to developing and maintaining a successful business. The information provided herein is not limited only to my personal successes but also my several failures along the way.

Finally everything is in place for the Gift and Book Show scheduled for December 14-17, 2010 at the City Hall, Castries. Published St. Lucian Authors are requested to get in touch with Miss Syreeta Alcee of Divine Connections or Edward Harris to reserve their space. The promoters are doing everything possible to ensure that St. Lucians are given an opportunity to get acquainted with the writing profession. There will be two free lectures by outstanding local Authors daily at 12.00 noon and 4.00 pm. A Lucky Draw of valuable prizes is scheduled for the final day of the show.

John C. Maxwell in his quote for November 19 from “Leadership promises for every day” advises as follows: “People rise or fall to meet our level of expectations for them…If you believe in them and expect them to do well, they will wear themselves out trying to do their best…Give others money, and it’s soon spent. Give resources, and they may not be used to their greatest advantage.

Once again, it is great to be back and I hope that some level of normalcy in our country will be returned in the shortest possible time.

When you apply Ethical Greed, you will achieve excellence in your business dealings and develop your own standards of efficiency. You must ensure that you do everything to win at what you do. Business is based on certain principles that must be observed. It can be disastrous to take short cuts.

These new industries include renewable energy, consulting, exotic agricultural exports, high tech manufacturing and the creative industries. In the creative industries, primarily talented right brain resources come alive and present the challenge to convert them into sustainable business enterprises.

With a serious business approach to writing, St. Lucian Authors could add yet another product to the existing range of tourism products. Cruise passengers could be a hot market for selling published books. There is need for book exhibitions and book signing events to promote the work of our local writers.

Finally the book – I found the love of my life on the Internet is live!

Maxwell’s first Law of Leadership is the Law of the Lid which states that “Leadership ability determines a person’s level of effectiveness”. Leadership ability is always the lid on personal and organisational effectiveness. Whatever you want to accomplish is restricted by your leadership ability.
