Procrastinators Unite... Tomorrow



(image via https://www.spreadshirt.com)



I am currently reading an awesome but difficult book that calls for one to challenge themselves and FOCUS. It explores Self Mastery and Self Knowledge as tools to help you meet your business, personal and financial targets.

The chapter I am on explores habits, the good ones and the bad ones and how they shape your future life.

My one bad habit that I have struggled with for years is procrastination. I have literally spent my early 20s postponing my plans , goals and dreams and getting distracted by things that offer superficial and instant gratification. 

Procrastination has a tendency of having you enjoy a good session of lazying about with an air of indifference when actually all those things that you would like to pretend don't matter... matter. 

For example, this blog is 5 years late. Lol. I have started and abandoned so many blogs... way before they became not only a trend but a necessity in today's world. 

I always postpone my New Year's resolutions by a month. So every month is basically a new year for me. I will start something, be hyped up... and before the 10th of the new month, I resolve that I will restart and be more focused next month. 

My new year... starts in April again this year. March didn't work, neither did February... let alone the actual month that a new year commences with, January.

I have however pledged to myself, that it is with great urgency that I need to take the bull by the horns and stop postponing the beginning of my BEST life. 

It is time to make the big commitment... TO MYSELF.

South Africa's Gems - My Top 40 Young Movers and Shakers

(image source: https://thewishfactor.wordpress.com) " I am the dream and the hope of the slave. "- Maya Angelou Maya Angelou's poem Still I Rise makes me think of the struggles of yesteryear and how the youth had sacrificed their childhoods and dreams in order for us to be free and achieve our wildest dreams and greatest ambitions. It is no secret that " it is not yet uhuru " but with the youth of today leading an economic revolution through entrepreneurship and representation in corporate SA, the future is bright. Below is a list of young movers and shakers who excite and inspire me (in no particular order). I follow some of them on social media and know some of them personally. All of them are definitely putting our country on the world map and it’s heartwarming to follow their stories and successes. Representation matters. Seeing young people self-actualize inspires other young people to do the same. After all... “we are the ones...

Luxury Champagne Campaign: The Stories Behind My Favourite Champagne Brands

Lily Bollinger was once asked " When do you drink champagne?",  and she replied:  “I only drink champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory.  I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty.” In the words of Madame Bollinger, champagne does not need an occasion and I believe it to be true. Once you fall in love with it, you will not be a fan of anything else…unless you are me; I love a good glass of Pinot Noir too. The aspect that makes luxury brands stand out are the stories behind the brands. Story-telling is a major component of brand building when it comes to luxury brands; it is no longer about convincing a consumer to make the purchase but to rather be a part of the story. The stories behind brands such as Dom PĂ©rignon and my personal favourite, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin are ones that warm my heart....
