A Working World





Alot is happening! Good and bad alike.

We have innovations and solutions being created for good and which are equally causing societal distresses. Industries are outperforming their under performance with business rethinks and new focuses which is refreshing - and which also poses challenges to human competency. Humans are embarking on a new set of self indulged and humanly induced complications designed for humans, by humans. Some of us also prefer to term these complications as innovations!

Globally, we see some countries working well together and others are revisiting how to work well together. Last week a country, which I regard as progressive for a bunch of reasons, decided to send thousands of its citizens for work to the UAE. Open markets visibly personified! More of what I understand as an aspirant startup owner, who opts to remain centered on our business goals for now, is the shift in mindsets for global support. It's refreshing and in many ways hassle free with new countries I can now visit for business reasons and without a tedious visa application process.

Like I said, alot is happening! And so how does one remain true north in all this borderline brilliance and chaos?

In my own business journey I have been certain about a few things. Much of which I have been vocal about and much more which still remains deeply personal and only with me. I've watched shared interests become solely selfish interests because funding challenged greater cause and personally bully tactics don't sit well with us who can't be bullied actually.

I'm also watching how partnering with a new innovations and leading tech firm, together with our own business re-strategy, is placing us in a "a sweet spot". Something we don't take for granted and we don't allow to overtake our vision. But still,  how does one work in a working world with lots going on?

For me, personally, by being consciously unconscious!

Know enough to know what impacts your business, sector or strategy but get on with consistent good work. Daily I am most clear about remaining forward facing and aligned with core sectors for relevance. Commercial trade and activities to ensure healthy cash-flow is my day to day top priority.

With these in check I am able to revisit how else to adapt, adopt, to employ and gear for
Impact.

..and because of the music in me I'm thinking the song "Wonderful Life" by Black.


Wishing you a great day in business

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
