St. Lucia Simply Beautiful

Good management is highly correlated with the sustained success of the business and includes the elements of planning, organising, staffing, leading and monitoring/controlling. The monitoring/controlling element of management facilitates the exercise of testing the outcome against the objective (forecast) and if the outcome is not consistent with the forecast then corrective action must be taken to bring future outcomes back on track with the forecasts.

I pray for prosperity to return to our shores and that the spirit of cooperation will pervade in our midst. It is time to put all hands on deck, reject divisiveness and move forward in unity, as united we stand, divided we fall. Let us put country first and all other things will fall into place.

Predictions for year 2012 are quite scary even the possibility of the end of the world on December 21. However from my vantage point, I see 2012 as the most eventful year in recent history. There is no need to fear. Get out there and secure your share of the pie. There are opportunities all around, right here in St. Lucia. Many successful businesses in the developed countries are yet to be introduced in the region and there are some opportunities for St. Lucian Entrepreneurs to invest overseas.

“Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace… Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks about us”

A new year, a new source of Biblical quotes, this time from my autographed copy of the 2011 daily planner by Pastor A. R. Bernard who is the Founder, Senior Pastor and CEO of Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, New York, United States, delivered by Bevan a year ago. Yes, a year late as a year planner but still relevant as a source of God’s unfailing love and wisdom.

The year 2012 has finally dawned. It’s hard to say it but it’s true. And to be perfectly honest, I’m pretty excited about it. Yes, finally 2011 is behind us. 2011 was a horrible year for far too many; 2011 was a great year for far too few. I hope you were part of the few. I hope I’m not the only one that can’t believe it’s over. What a year? But 2012 is going to be an amazing year, fasten your seat belts and get ready for the ride of your life. Opportunity is everywhere. It’s certainly overwhelming. You only have so much time, so what do you focus on to break free? Obviously the answer will be different for everyone.
