We often want others to change for us... But the best way to make things happen for yourself is to change ourselves. Take control of the things you can control Once you do that... It's only a matter of time..... Until success finds you. #businessadvice #startupadvice #motivation #change #success #changeyourself

There are no amount of words that I can use to express my solidarity with the millions of people who are protesting on the streets in America. I've experienced milder forms of racism when I was in the Middle East and I know how it feels to be marginalized because of the color of one's skin, race or nationality. In fact that type of racism and prejudice still exists and is rampant in those parts even today. That said, it is nothing compared to what Black and Ethnic minorities face in the US. I thought America had gone past all the aches and pains of the past...but I was wrong. If the events of the past few months involving Ahmaud Arbery, Amy Cooper and George Floyd have taught us anything, it is that the racist mentality has been ingrained in the fabric of society and rooting it out would mean educating, healing and sponsorship from the leadership at the top (which is apparently non existent). I'm not sure how we in the UK can help our friends in the US apart from pledging our solidarity to their cause. In the meanwhile, if you haven't watched it already, I suggest you watch the YouTube video Trevor Noah put out a few days ago where he talks about the domino effect the George Floyd incident has caused, about how the contract between society and black Americans has been broken continuously and the notion of protesting itself. Will add the link in the comments. #notoracism #blackoutday2020 #blackouttuesday #westandtogether

There is no use in learning if you don't apply what you learn. For many of us, it is the fear that holds us back. And so we continue to learn and learn thinking that what we know isn't enough. I've been in that boat myself but trust me.... It's a waste. If you've got training, put it to use. If you have the knowledge, share it. Apply what you learn #learning #knowledge #training #businessadvice #startupadvice #entrepreneur

It is easy to get sidetracked these days. With everything that is going on, there seems to be too much to focus on. Too much to distract us from getting to our destination. But, we must not let the distractions keep us from getting to our goals. Always keep them in sight. That's what will keep us motivated to achieve them. And will also alert us if we get sidetracked and need to rectify our path. #businessadvice #startupadvice #goals #distractions

There is nothing wrong with putting yourself first - at least when it comes to business. Let's face it, business is a race. ?️ A race to get your product or service out first. ? A race to win the most customers.? A race to provide the best customer service.? And most of all, a race to the bank!? ? As a parent, a friend or partner, it is totally fine if you put others before yourself. In fact, that would probably be the right thing to do. ? But in business, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you put others before your business. ? Know your priorities. ? #businessadvice #startupadvice #entrepreneur @
