PRESENT

5/4/2026

 
Picture


I've greeted a lot of senior folks in the farmer's market last Saturday.

This particular gentleman went aboard a scooter to the scene.

I asked him if there's anything in particular he wanted to see, like meat, baked goods, etc.

He said he just came out to enjoy the sunshine and have a good time.

He said he's well-fed, well-rested, and well taken-cared of at the seniors' centre.

I was happy to hear that.

So many people are rushing to get to a place being mad, sad, and discontented.

He just wants to enjoy the now. 

​I hope you are too.

MAKE A SPLASH

4/27/2026

 
Picture


When I was young, I was timid, rarely talked, and shy.

I was an introvert.

Through the years, and in my work, I had to exert enough effort to be more sociable and friendly.

In business, you have to make a splash.

Not in a rude, offensive, and very competitive manner, but in the quality, value, and relevance of your work in the lives and businesses of others.

In short, make a splash about your clients' successes, breakthroughs, and results which came from your interventions and support.

No one will hear if there's no sound.

I have seen authors released a one-time announcement about their book, and then silence.

No one will hear, except just family and friends.

But if you want to write for business, write for society, and write for results, make it louder, better, and more targeted.

My book made its way to a swimming resort in Portugal. That was a splash.

ABUN-DANCE

4/20/2026

 
Picture


I was scrolling LinkedIn a few weeks ago and I noticed a good colleague of mine from my time in another Canadian province complained that opportunities for speaking are scarce.

I differ.

There are many opportunities.

The question worth asking is:

Are we getting ourselves out there in the most credible and exciting way for the buyers to find us?

Not any buyer, but the right buyer.

What's the right buyer for this friend of mine?

He needs to figure it out.

He needs to ask more people for referrals, endorsements, and recommendations.

People, 

You'll learn that you can't continue swimming in a small pond.

Sooner or later, you've got to get out of that or they eat you or you eat them alive!

There's this saying I heard recently.

"Sometimes you eat them and sometimes they eat you."

This eating-thing is because you're all in a small pond.

Trying to compete at each other for peanuts!

​Elevate your offers, your tools, and your strategies.

There's no elbowing in the summit.

There's a space for everyone.

The air is pure and the scenery is tranquil.

But first, you've got to dance with abundance.
