The Price of Pricing Right

Every single one of my 41years I can say that I have given more than I've expected, more than I could have received..more than I should have taken! (& I'm no Mother Theresa).



In my career, however simple or sophisticated the role or ask, it's always been willing and happy to over- commit on my part.  Extra hours, more responsibility than I signed up for, accepting the challenges.. surviving the 'attacks' on multiple & simultaneous levels too. It's been major sacrifices with often little support or so it seemed at the time. The satisfaction always means more than the money but money is the enabler. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

My self therapy on my own living room couch most days is...

Marica this is grooming you for the F list which you believe your work belongs on. And F-up list it's not!

Through all major and minor vulnerabilities I am always able to say that I will be on the Forbes list. Yes you've heard me right. List, not Cover.
(covers aren't really my thing though I did get a few times how I should try do a Harper's bla-blah).

But back to F/ups because with all mine ( a recent visa challenge is not one of them!)  survival of challenges has afforded me the art of thinking through the fires safely to the other side. Often bouncing back quicker & into better planning ..with solutions & a renewal of spirit & mind.

But am I tired of the seemingly constant by Entrepreneurial standards -

 ' what now Marica?'

Honestly,  I can answer with a momentarily and short-lived ' Yes!'

I tire and as you do hear me say, Entrepreneurship is not for the faint hearted.  It's really not. With this though, my trust in all our activities goes far beyond belief in simply my own capabilities. There has to be more of where all this comes from and belongs.  The same source of inspiration is the same to surrender to when I weary. And fortunately for me, the solutions comes and forward we are raised to newer heights.

And so as the year draws towards the 12th month, I will take moments to pause but there will be no business R&R. Not in this economy and not ever for me anyway.

I will say that the price of 2020 Pricing Right is a definate to expect. We give partners the quality they appreciate, there's an always on, open door and call any time you need to ethos. And since we give you relevant access too, this comes at a premium.

After all, it's money which enables vision and my vision doesn't end with me as the end goal.

Have a wonderful weekend.
Goodnight

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
