Borrowing Wisely 2

Welcome to Life and Success Management. We are continuing on the above topic. Yesterday, I mentioned few "Don'ts of Borrowing". They are by no means exhaustive. Today, let's talk about few things that will make it easier to win the trust of the potential lender and also give you access to greater opportunities in future. They are things that qualify you as credible to borrow in the first place. Please note that the context is largely of informal fund-raising. $ Before you borrow, have a realistic repayment plan. Why?

Is it feasible? It will be a mistake if you are hoping to use the money you lent someone else to repay. It must be from a fairly sure source like regular personal income. $ Find a source that does not need the money back at exactly the period you kn...

BORROWING (MONEY) WISELY

Good day! Thanks for joining us on Life and Success Management. Today I have a brief thought on the subject of borrowing.

Once someone gives you money, he doesn't need to be in control of it again; that becomes your responsibility. But if he lends you the money, he still needs to be in control of what happens next however he is not. That is why peopl...

Success at Home: Effective Communication

Welcome! We are discussing today Effective Communication especially between couples. Our purpose is to provide information that will help positive communication and protect relationships from deterioration because communication is key to the success (or failure) of any relationship. Communication must be understood as an EXCHANGE of thoughts verbally or non-verbally. The reason for making any effort to communicate at all is because their is an expectation to be understood and then to get an appropriate response. But, unknown to some people, there are ways you can communicate that you may not be understood or, more painfully, even when you are understood, you may get the response you don't want to get. This is the area we want to address today. Before we go ahead, I just want to take take time out to encourage you, if you are going through a relationship crisis especially at home. I want you to know that the crisis can be over soon. Don't give up on your marriage, you can ...
