Joel Comm and Dan Nickerson have something new and amazing!

Admin

Do you read a lot of business books? Have you ever noticed how most of them have a few core principles, and the rest of the book is just fluff? Maybe you attend seminars or webinars, and after hours and hours of listening and watching, you’ve got one page of notes with the “nuggets of wisdom” from the speakers. Don’t you find that frustrating? Wouldn’t it be great if there were a website with “just the nuggets”? Joel Comm, the NY Times bestselling author and serial entrepreneur, and his joint venture partner Dan Nickerson, have just launched Growing Profits.

Entrepreneur Develops Food-Based Neighborhood

Admin

Cedric Naudon is a wealthy French entrepreneur with a penchant for fine food. Nothing notable there— French foodies are a dime a dozen. But unlike most those other foodies, Naudon owns half of a neighborhood in Paris, and his plans for the area would make anyone’s mouth water.

Naudon’s plan for the neighborhood, as featured in The New York Times, is to turn the area into an epicurean village called La Jeune Rue (Young Street).

Developed with the help of an international team of designers, the plans include a butchery, a cheesemonger, an organic bakery, an oyster bar, a fishmonger, ethnic restaurants, and a clique of neighborhood mainstays. The butchery will include a library to allow patrons to read all about the cuts on offer. Continue reading “Entrepreneur Develops Food-Based Neighborhood”

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Barack Obama take part in ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’

Admin

Brrr, the newest viral trend has celebrities including Justin Timberlake, Mark Zuckerberg and Martha Stewart dumping buckets of freezing-cold water over themselves. All in the name of charity.

Tipping buckets of chilled water over their heads, anyone who takes part in the challenge then gets the opportunity to nominate a further three people to drench themselves within the next 24 hours.

Failing to perform the stunt in the allotted time means giving a donation to charity.

In the US, the craze is helping to fund research into Lou Gehrig’s disease, known in the UK as motor neurone disease. Continue reading “Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Barack Obama take part in ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’”

Admin

Being a social media business person I can’t overlook the trends in the industry and one of them is #selfie.

It’s an established habit now to take selfies. I have to admit I’n not a lot into this wave but I do it from time to time. Unfortunately, for some of us a selfie is the last thing to be done before a major strategy.

The website viralnova.com published a Top 10 of tragic selfies and here they are:

The beauty of the things we take from granted like … seeing the sun in the morning

Admin

Today I had one of those mornings: woke up at 5AM, went on the beach at 5.15, started my meditation and healthy breathing routine immediatly, then the exercises for the back muscles, jogging and swimming, everything until 7 AM. In the process, I’ve witnessed the beauty of the sun rising, saw few hundreds of crabs being nurtured by the sun and frightened by me approaching, was saluted by many small fishes which came veeery close to me and felt very alive.

While being laid down on the sand I’ve reconnected with Mother Earth and was grateful to live another day.

I felt guilty many times over of not even be present to the real beauty of the world around being caught in various negative patterns, worries about survival, business development, challenge overcoming and so on. Of course, this is a general problem to many people who want more for them and others but … simply I can’t take this as an excuse. Even when the road to success and fulfillment is paved with a lot of obstacles the beauty is in enjoying the process. Yes, you will say that it is easy to say than done and I agree with you.
