If the ship goes down

I’ve been a student of the economy, business, finance and success since the early 1999s. By that time I realized I had ‘cracked’ the code on training, yet at the same time realized I was a white belt in the financial stakes. So I set to work, as I do, studying widely and seriously. As […]

The future is here

Over a decade ago I concluded that the business model used by our partner company was ahead of its time. This conclusion was based on my study of business books that described new trends in business.
