JUST FOR LAUGHS....

Yesterday i came  across this article that i thought i should share with you. I found it in a marketing magazine and it was written by some author named Brenda Wakiagi. The article was about the power of branding. I think its a great piece with a light touch, just what you need before the Easter holidays.

So here we go:

1st scenario: You go to a party, see a a very beautiful girl, you walk to her and say 'am great in bed, so how about it?' that is DIRECT MARKETING.

2nd scenario: You are at a party, you give your friend a buck and she goes over to that beautiful chick and says 'my friend over there is great in bed, so how a bout it? that's ADVERTISING.

3rd scenario: You somehow get her mobile number, you chat her awhile and say, hey, am great in bed so how about it? that's TELE-MARKETING

4th scenario: You go to to a party and you recognize the girl, refresh her memory and get her to laugh and giggle, then you say, am great in bed so how about it? that's CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT.

5th scenario: You stand straight. You talk soft and smooth, you open doors for ladies, you smile like a dream, you set an aura around you playing Mr.  Gentleman and then you say, am great in bed so how about it? that's HARD SELLING.

6th scenario: You to a party, SHE COMES OVER TO YOU and says, ' hi, i hear you are great in bed so how about it? NOW THAT is the power of branding.......

Enjoy your day and happy times this coming Easter    

WHEN YOUR DOWN, HOW DO YOU GET BACK UP?

Another Friday, another day gone.....What have you done to ensure the day ends a success??? I hope you are well this Friday. I most certainly am.

Lately i have been lacking some much needed inspiration. Life is threatening to become a routine for me. A routine where the events of the day are pre planned. I hate it when i wake up in the morning and i know almost everything am gonna do throughout the day. Where is the element of surprise in that? Don't get me wrong, its advisable to plan your day, but when it reaches a point where you know how the entire day is gonna pan out then there is a problem. If you don't agree then i guess your a robot.

So here is the question, when you lack inspiration, when your short of focus and when you lack direction how do you get back on track? In life you are bound to face those days when you backslide. I have discovered that i am at my happiest when i link freely with God and my fellow men/women. When everything is smooth and everything is a great success.

However there are those days that things don't seem to work, when everything you do turns into a frustration. In those moments i always know that returning to God is the first step to recovery. However lately i shy away from God because i lack the zeal and the moral to talk to Him. Sometimes i start to pray then i fall asleep midway. Do you get the picture now?

In time like these there are a few things that i like to do to regain my focus and have a sense of purpose. You might have a different way of dealing with such situations and i would like to know how you deal with them. You might be shocked that what works for you works for me too.
 So here we go:
1) When i am faced with the above situation i turn to God. When i have an honest communication with God i always feel lifted.

2) I love nature. I have this big dream of one day owning a ranch. I love a good forest too, or a jungle. Where i live there is a beautiful ranch owned by the university. Its a vast land with nothing on it. Just grass. On the sidewalk their is a beautiful forest of eucalyptus trees lined along the narrow path. Every time i visit this place i always feel liberated. The place has a calming presence around it. The whistling of the tree leaves on  a windy evening on one side and  a vast unoccupied land on the the other side is a sight to behold. simply breathtaking.

3) Have you ever wondered why some people in your life are more important than others? One of the reason for this is because of what these people have to offer in our lives. I have one such person in my life and its none other that my cousin Danielle Dee Ochieng. The inspiration and love this woman has shown me over the years is unmatched. She gives me stability and the confidence. I pride myself in knowing that out there i have one of my greatest allies. The role she plays in my life has no substitute. Shes the pillar upon which most of my foundation is based.

4) Lastly when i am stuck and frustrated by life i make short term goals. Things that i can do to get quick results. We all love it when we accomplish things and i am no different. I normally highlight what i can do in  a short time with immediate results. This way i stay happy always.

That works for me, its your turn to find out what works for you.
Good day good people.
