[Take sides for gain]

We all are caught up in one for a moment after the other in our lives, a challenge of having to take sides between allies is one aspect of coexistence that we just can't live without. Then, still on that note, comes enmity and rivalry, two of the main ingredients in business and political relations. If you don't know as yet, chances are it's still on its way, or you aren't active, or be it purely lucky.

Allies disagree and clash everywhere over this if not that, and if you're in business and politics you know it's a norm and order of the day whenever the parties are more than one. So now, what do you do to resolve that? Naturally, it all the time head to where you are faced with the challenge of siding with one in them. In partnerships such dilemmas play out more. But, one thing I sort of like about choosing sides, is the play out of one's wit and social intelligence.

When you have to take sides, look not at the emotional impact of your decision but rather the practicality thereof. Taking one's side is a sacrifice on its own and if not do it right will suffer the consequence of just that. There should be a gain for you first before the party you side with. Respect your future in your choice by securing the interests of your head, and do so with awareness that it won't be the last time you're ever to do that as they'll expect same of your choice in future.

In conclusion: it's no secret that business and politics are riddled with personal draws of your both personality and character, and such being said, meaning you can't hide whom you are as a business person or a politician. With being yourself you're bound to churn out your true colors, a grey denominator that others will be assigned to its subjection of either tolerating you or tossing you out.

Taking sides is tricky though in that it isn't permanent in both fraternities however you look at it. One may side with you in a specific issue but not in others, or be for the sake of someone or something in the picture, or be because of whatever reason, but sure thing is that long-term siding is a rare find as a position to hold in the worlds of business and politics. With personal and group gains in sights, taking sides has a bad way of coming back for a bite and it never miss the sweet spot unfortunately, hence it's important to be calculating in your allegiances, whether in the short or long-term. Know the value of your gains, your worth depends on that...dp 

[Reshuffling your cabinet]

How big is yours? And how small can it be? How you decide on it entirely up to you as the controller of your destiny. It's a wise decision to have a consultry and a cabinet, or a fusion of both in one if you are a leader. The formation of this group of your surrounders should be informed by the size of your operations or of your entity. Truth is, having them a cost that's but a worthy bud to your growth stem.

For those with either or both, it's worth your while to exercise a reshuffle thereof that may be guided by tenure timelines or by performance, of which performance is the best guide most of the time. The core ingredient to winning through your use of surrounders is the composition elements of it. Is your composition a result that's comprised of a formation by your friends, relatives, academics, retired experts, professional practitioners, etc? This is a key component of your decision in how you're to deal with your surrounders and reshuffles heading forth.

It's always easy and stress free to handle affairs with professionals than it is with family and friends, and best you believe me, same will apply with running your surrounders. Mind you, this concept comes as a supplement mode for your business's stability and growth that but can end up being a stranglehold of it. The danger is it may tore your decision-making astride and delay the very progress you wanted for your business from the start.

To be safe, you need to have good rules drafted to govern your relations with your servers. Without a formal regulatory bind document of control and enforcement, your cabinet and or consultry is of no use to you. Appointees must be mandated and obligated to deliver as per your set goals to achieve the executive vision for your entity or self. Also, the number of your surrounders should be capped to a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5. It's always good to be mindful that they're not a board but your board supplement rather, and that it's advisable to not blurt it out to your business partners as it may see side meddling in play at times should they even have reach to them.

In conclusion: should it be well formed by a well thought out deployment by servers with best interests at heart, this is a good concept that may also work for you. Sad thing is, if appoint servers with bad faith intents, would see you destroyed. Suited best for a personal brand is the cabinet whilst for a corporate brand is consultry. Both are designed in mind with growth enhancement but differ in scope of creep and outcomes expected, so, know beforehand where to point your desires.

If you want your climate of fortunes to be better complexioned, you need to know which energy lotion to apply to your team spirit, as such, be the enabler of your own success by setting realistic goals that'll see your appointee servers perform best and avoid constant reshuffles as they'll be assured of their value to you, but not ruling out the importance of reshuffling as it helps in doing away with stagnation, sabotage and functionalism...dp

[The first time]

Nothing excites and terrifies the soul's core like doing it for the first time. Be it a soft or hard activity, it shakes you innate. We all go through that and one thing we can't lie about is the countless times we experience it on almost daily basis. The challenge is that not all of the experiences gets registered because we at times go through our first time without any fanfare to the occurrence. There're those though who're too observant and do get to be aware of many of their firsts that most not really care of.

Whether it be intellectual harvesting or sensual harvesting, the thrill won't be same as would the outcomes, and but one thing common is they happened for the first time to someone. Doing something for the first time needs setting of one's mind in how to approach it, how it'll feel, what to do if it may go wrong, who to do it with, and so forth. The wrong way to going about it is just to think about it and say that you're ready. It's important to prep self for anything, and yes, some prepping requires only setting up the mind whilst some requiring a practice prior to its execution. You should best be prepared for it no matter how easy it may sound or look, as what at times seem too easy by another mayn't be for the next, which may sadly happen to be you.

Does the first time activity requiring you to do it alone or not? Or does it need a sit up or not? Such are important questions to entertain as well. If it require you to be taught upfront then let it be. The clumsiness and mischecks that goes with first time are massive in some cases and the results may kill your spirit or hurt your pocket, and whatever the case may be, sometimes not worth it picking pride over practicality and safety. Be cautious when going in all the first times.

In conclusion: do yourself a favour by honestly asking self if you can do it, if you are ready for it, if you are fit for it, and why you want and have to do it; it should arguably start there prior to commencement. If you destine at the same embankment for your third rest then can positively decide on your move. Taking the first time of doing it for granted may leave you forever scarred if you're not careful, so, cease being casual and be aware fully afore your attempt. Respect the impact of first time experience on anything and you'll live a more positive life without many unnecessary regrets. Love yourself enough to protect your emotions of negativity, try better next time in your first...dp

[The jail of life]

How do you control your workforce? Their perception of you, what is it? Being a leader isn't a default position for just about anyone, hence any leader needs to undergo a particular program that is specifically designed for their role prep in their lead. The challenge with leadership is your consistency in choices, character and observations of life, business, law, politics, spirituality, education and religion.

The issue of alcoholism, smoking and drug abuse is a serious worry for many a small startup entity operators. The problem is, it goes two ways; first with a leader who is and the latter as a staffer who is. Picture a leader who parties with staff, cool to most I know but ethically not sound. This may come across as an attack to some but not my intent to. We just have to address that which is wrong and applaud that which is right sans any name mentioned.

A drunkard or junkie for a leader is worse of the two pictures, but not saying it's to encourage it in employees either. To choose a career such as leadership isn't a day in a mall without money, and but a big responsibility that'll have an impact in the lives of others directly and not, but at the end of the day affected as a result of your choice in decision making and taking.

The link between your thought and action is one fascinating drama within that may sadly be hampered by your lifestyle choices to be less effective. Take a lesson on motor neurons, with synopses in check and you're to think in a different way if can see the damage that alcohol and drug abuse cause to their functions. A leader ought to be reliable, sound and equitable in their delivery of decision and action, and if it be not then untrustworthy.

Think about what your peers see and say whenever you emerge. If you don't worry about such as a leader then dooms bay is where you're headed. They say "don't pay attention to others' sayings about you" but it's not advisable honestly. It's a must to follow what's being said about you in mentions, that's key in forging your campaign to successful leadership.

In conclusion: flip the script and switch to the unorthodox path, and turn to see their looks on you. What people say of you and your life may put you in the jail of life, but then again, what about what's not said of you? Do what give back a feed, it's vital for your progress and a key to parole as a life liver.

In the jail of life your bail gets paid for by the  public, and what they say about you is crucial. Who takes a drunkard serious? Think of everything that goes wrong when one is drunk, and you'll expect not a lot from people if you're that. Nothing is beautiful about drugs and alcohol if done excessively. Do smoke, do drink, and can't say a thing about sniffing dosages, but won't it be liberating if done with you exercising caution to display your control over them? I can't know to say stop, no, all I can say is step off for your sake as a person first before as a leader. Do what's respectable, serve in the good jail of life, where the sentence is clean image, sober appearances, occasional fun, private smoking and drinking, etc. your tickets of favour out of the bad jail of life...dp 

[People love working for bosses]

Up close and personal a compromise that's unwelcome if it's too cozied in your working space. The intimacy it carries is a privacy policy thrower out the window, should you ask anyone in that situation. In my personal capacity it's never been an easy sail. When you are starting out it's challenging in that you interact with staff to the level of connection, and that a double-edged sword on its own.

With a startup there're numerous hurdles you just can't ignore and proceed with the race sans going through, and one of them is small premises. The challenge with working from a limited capacity space is that you get to be too close to your staff especially if the shared space is open planned. It's a common problem to every entity owner to be gotten too close to. It's actually uncomfortable for anyone to be in a space where everyone has an easy access to you as a leader. Think about safety, privacy and freedom of being self sans any awkwardness.

Being too close to staff is good but not so great if one needs to point it out with fact. As a person you have your good and bad days and for the staff having to at times be witnessing many of those days' moments live is a bad thing. There're certain sides to your character traits that should be limited to certain individuals because they're having the potential to break you in future as they can be used against you, so, what gets known about you is important to be protected. Not everyone needs to know you too well, it's a loose end to be tied at all cost.

A leader isn't ordinary, and shouldn't be expected to be found too proximate to the subordinates, and reason being that you are the reflection of your family, your business, your personal brand, and the face of the brand you represent. The time that staff spends around you gives off a lot as repute killers and makes for good  content that mongers are constantly on the look out for for your bashing, or even as good intel for selling you out.

In conclusion: be vigilant when it comes to your immediacy, you just can't be sure of anything. To counter the potential danger you may work remote and have one whom you liaise with on behalf of the whole staff, or have the space partitioned for you to have a closeted office for your peace of mind.

Any leader who socialize with staff never get back the respect that they should be given, because there's this and that that're known about them. You can only imagine how hard it becomes to lead a team that's in such a position with you on a personal level. Avoid such by creating a void in between you and them. Better they say you're distant and cold than being a subject of gossip and seen as lazy, useless, stupid, etc. all the bad stuff usually gets said about bosses. Mind you, a leader is only useful, hardworking, smart and all those other positive attributes if they're not too close to them, and remaining a big wish to be subjected to their friendship. Best they fantasize about you than they have you anytime they want.

The last resort is to build a solid invisible wall to shield you, and this is by your behaviour. Make sure they don't have that room for allowance to be in your face always. Give them room but limits to your corner. For that you have to develop a thick skin but works. People love working for bosses unfortunately, nice leadering is weak leadership, so, build that persona in you just for that specific purpose. Let them feel your crown, it's important for you to lead with success...dp 

[What if dore is the correct spelling?]

With so many formulae to life, success and control, wonder how right are we of things we loudly declare wrong and right. What if death was to be danced for? And what if music was meant to be listened to in silent still mode? Think of the wrongness to wrongteousness and the rightness to righteousness, to cut it short.

Ever wondered why those we praise for their kindness suffer and some die young? And those we hate for their rudeness and cruelty are rich and live long? Is there a secret to the way things are supposed to actually be but us pushed into true life oblivion? Seems like a lot that we got taught as good not that good for us whilst the bad they condemned being the good we really need for our happiness.

You're taught of self inner-power but not doing anything for you out into the world, other men and women are having the outer power to tell you whom to be, where to be, how to do, and also tell you what to be and do if you want to be empowered by them. What's worrying is that with the power they wield, they do what's long been taught as bad to be and do. Why are we authorized by others instead of being in control to manage ourselves and things? We are ruled yet made to believe we're governing. Everything isn't what it should be per their teachings if you quite look at the order of days gone by and of the currency.

We have the law to maintain order, force to maintain peace, religion to restore morality and education to instil teachings as the epicentre of enablement. I read, hear and see daily how a scam life's ways of late are, and worse is it has since been from way back. The very complex concept called the system with its subs; the economy, the government, taxation, debt and interest, which are all under the hold of a select few via exclusive clubs and secret societies that makes us pay for being existent.

Ask yourself about things like tax, does the tax inventor pay it and too whom? Interest and arrears, do debt and bond originators pay them? Those are some of the many layers of the beast's hide that me and you will never feed our curiosity curriculum full with its true fibre of knowledge. But then again, how long are we excepted to stand behind the fence of reality and stir at them as our symbols of aspirations and ultimacy?

In conclusion: why do we allow to be told how to see and think of people who questions empirical impurity? They say they're conspiracy theorists, lie fabricators, and all other bad grammar to silence them and at times some killed yet such not questioned. There're lots of promises of no empanadas when we turn over the leaf of poverty and still voice no dissatisfaction yet witnessing signs of success only crowding their vicinities and us provinced in brackets. Time is now we ask selves what if dore is actually the correct spelling of door, and then we'll have the rightful answer to which wall we can draw the dore to our entrance into the cabal. Tired of running this fake race below their genuine one...dp

[The new PDNE]

"Kindness kills commerce, hence every successful one is unkind to the not have" [1], so she said to us when closing. Those were the words of a partner's friend during a chat over a relaxed conversation at his home. It was quite an eye opener for the fact that no woman in my life has ever uttered such to me, the reason why they stuck.

She actually made a couple of good valid points but that one remained locked in to me. Truth is, I've heard people say such in many ways a man may put them, just that somehow a woman has a subtle way into a man in word, and with where I am now with my life, managed to shake me into a true wake.

If you're a biznes person you aren't supposed to be a nice fellow I heard, and anyone who's nice should receive a PDNE sticker plugged to their name. In my days of schooling I was taught it stands for "please do not erase", but today got told it means "please do not endorse". How quickly times have changed to say it safely.

PDNE is now used for ones like me to be labeled as the good wrongdoers by the feisty wrongdoers. Any person finding themselves in the space of commerce is advised to not be their selves in kind but rather their selves ruthless. But then, my question is: "does one have to be unkind in order for them to be successful in biznes?" and the answer I now got is "yes, one has to be."

In conclusion: in biznes life we learn with each encounter and the lessons drawn in each somehow impacting how one builds in shape their legacy. One bad thing for some is the way situations have effect on us all the time, which is good for others though importantly yourself. There're certain moves by some particular persons that someway alter your outlook on life and force you to drop your advancing of character in favor of personality in dealing with some circumstancial eventualities.

'However you look at it, 'life in biznes is a path that chose you or chosen by you, via dictation from your lead circumstances' [2]. In biznes, you don't just learn, you grow. Whether you go in red or blue ocean, it remains your strategy to uphold in your journey as a biznes person, with your choices as your niches as you carry along. Remember that what's important is you shouldn't let PDNE work against you in that it should be by you putting it on others...dp
