Found this bit of video really entertaining and educational at the same time, a true thinker who has mastered what Marketing is all about. I find a lot of organizations go out of their way to build huge Ad campaigns around their products, while it would only take that one simple idea to get people talking and following your products, Virgin Group is one such example of a Business built on this principle. see the video below and get some insight on influencing people and keeping them thinking and talking of your product.

Definition of Success
I just picked this up on TED (nurturing new technological ideas) and though all you out their looking for that new idea might live by it, if only everyone could live by this values our world would be a better place. The true definition of success is not in A's or B's, or how much wealth you amass, or whether you win or loose, its not about competition with others, its about giving all to any situation you can. To all you start ups, new entrepreneurs in Africa its about giving it your all and the rest shall fall in place. click away below:

Loosing Everything in a Night
Just got off the plane the sun is setting, been away for weeks and still don't feel like going to your one room studio apartment- breakfast, dinner dishes waiting for you the stench. No family to go see everyone is busy or your last embarrassing spat is still fresh and your keeping well away. All your boys are at work -picking up that overtime or away on this and that project and either way you don't really feel like meeting up with them today.
You decide go through you phone book looking for just the right date for such an evening, and your met with a number of names Monicah, Yvonne , Janet... that leave you shattering from memories of the last experience - don't think your in the mood for such today. Oh finally you land on that one number hmm... haven't spoken to this one in sometime, so you go ahead and ring buzz buzz buzz , no answer well that's the first set back, so you go ahead an try three more numbers till you get lucky.
Jump into your car and throw your luggage bags and your laptop bag - filled with my projects proposal, emails 4GB worth off- "safely" in the trunk and zoom off into the sunset thinking of all the prospects the night has in hand. Get to town enjoying the shiny new glare of vehicles and trying to stretch to see what's the latest import around- the economy doing well or is it the banks giving unsecured loans like candy.
Finally at the venue, and no parking space for miles tension is building haven't seen this new conquest in 3 Months, she is also eager my phone is ringing off the hook. See a parking don't even get a second glance of the area and just dumb the car and off I go for my evening sheen dig. An hour later and I'm thinking how did I get here can't stand the complains and issues coming out of my eagerly awaited date, cut my losses and come up with a story of how long the trip was- this point my house looks more attractive.
Start navigating my way back to my car all the way back thinking where the h**l did I park it, was I drunk on some cheap tequila, or the many mini bar give aways on the plane got to me- at this point your trot have broken into a jog. Get back to the car and my worst fears are confirmed, the doors are unlocked, could have sworn I locked them get in only to find My Stereo Is Missing! Jump out and head for the boot and there it is I'm met with the most terrifying site no LAPTOP! my projects, my emails, all my info, my investments. How do I tell my boss- dead man walking.
If only I had got with the cloud my life would be still be on track, go ahead give it a try and free you life for other escapades click hear

Get with the Cloud
Have a business plan, thinking of selling your goods or services or even better consulting, have a good marketing plan, tired of your current job and just thinking "why I'm I taking so much s**t for this welfare cheque". No body taking your ideas seriously in the office any more as they are busy on budget, CEO project, xyz meeting and your wondering why your hanging around doing nothing.
Haven't we all been there one time or another countless times and you just think you can actually do this on your own, the world is a hash place and even hasher when you are out looking for that next cheque, friends watching to see if you'll really make it, Family being so ever supportive for the first few missed cheques at least.
Then your phone rings you get your first call, that tender you applied for finally went throught, that old business acquittance finally came through, your persistent calls to that corporate finally yielded fruit. So you spend the next two weeks or so ploughing through your old college books, doing research - googling, calling up your mates to know what's the latest device, technology, ideas and getting some company to co-tender all to come up with the perfect proposal.
If your lucky they call you again, they need you to come and present to the panel on your solutions, ideas and finally that break has come through. So you go for the presentation and the first question is where is the rest of your team- They can't believe that 30 paged proposal can come from one individual. Anyway your there so they go ahead and give you the chance and you dazzle them with your presentation, you know your stuff and ideas just roll off your tongue.
Then Finally they just need your contacts and you produce your newly printed and branded business cards (cost you an arm and a leg on your shoe string budget) on glossy paper and the panel lead goes "you don't have a domain" and your left their stuck for words remembering your email company xyz email xyz@gmail.com
Email has become such an integral part of doing business and trust in the world, so next time do some quick search and check ups on the internet for some easy to setup mail options, but most of all do try Google Apps for as little as $10 you could save yourself some embarrassment.
