			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Business leadership development plays an integral part in the metamorphosis of a good manager into a great one. Many believe the terms leadership and management to be synonymous, though nothing could be farther from the truth. They are as different as night from day, and a good leader might not make a good manager and vice versa. However, business leadership development planning can be used to improve the capability of managers to lead and become competent in dealing with people and persuasion rather than position and power. A good leader will have followers as distinct from the subordinates of managers, yet the two need not be mutually exclusive: A good manager can become a good leader, and the development of leadership will not only enhance your ability to lead people and organizations, but also to lead yourself. Leading oneself is a concept that many find difficult to visualize, but to lead others you must first be able to successfully lead your own life. You must be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, possess self-confidence, but also display humility and not only accept criticism but learn from your successes and failures. You need people to follow you, and not only motivate teams to get things done that need to be done, but also get them to want to do what has to be done. To persuade rather than to order, and to lead them to want to do the right things rather than to do things right. Although a business needs both management and leadership, it is sometimes necessary to focus more on one than on the other. A business might have a good management structure but little leadership, so will tend to stagnate over time. On the other hand it might have plenty of leadership and energy behind it, but because of poor management is unable to convert that leadership energy into results.As previously stated, then, business leadership and management are not mutually exclusive, and not only does a business need both but a leadership development program can be used to combine good management skills with good leadership capabilities. Leadership can be learned. The concept of the &#8216;born leader&#8217; is outdated, and leadership can be defined as forms of behavior in terms of skills that can be learned. Leadership development involves changing a candidate&#8217;s behavior to acquire these skills, and achieve competence in leadership. Being a good manager is not a prerequisite for a good leader, but neither is it a drawback, and the same person can possess both leadership and management skills. That is because both are learned and not innate in a person&#8217;s character, so that managers can be developed by their businesses or corporations into leaders. In fact, the best managers are also good leaders. Nevertheless, good leaders have often been found to possess a higher than average drive and more than the normal share of positive qualities. These traits are also frequently found in good managers, although the competencies needed for leadership can be taught by means of a well designed leadership development program. Waiting for a leader to emerge naturally is neither economical nor desirable, and certainly not an effective way of planning the leadership structure of a business. If we take a military example, more leaders come out of a military academy than are promoted on the field by virtue of displaying strong leadership potential. Good leaders should communicate well with those they are leading. Their thoughts and perceptions can help others to follow them. They should also have a positive and confident attitude and be able to instill their confidence in others. With that confidence should also come commitment, and leaders should be able to commit to their actions &#8211; committing with confidence breeds confidence in others. It has also been said that leaders should have high moral standards because people will not follow those they do not respect. Furthermore, good leaders do more than just supervise or manage their teams: they feel a sense of responsibility, and in return the team members know that their leader cares for them and cares for the business. This renders it easier for people to follow rather than be led. Business leadership development is an important concept for businesses to take on board, and by taking on such a program, managers will find people following them rather than having to be managed. Managers can focus their management efforts on the processes and procedures, and employees will follow them to help convert their ideas and visions into reality. That&#8217;s leadership! <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>You have heard from people saying Internet Business is a waste of time, you will not make any money, there is no real money to be made online, it will never work and so many others negative words coming from people who don’t really understand in this Internet Business industry. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>The thing is, it does work. Why some people make a fortune and some don’t even make money at all? Simply because the people who make thousands or millions of cash knew all the lies in this business and they will not trust these lies. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>So what is this big internet lies? Below here are the 10 big internet lies that you should know: <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>1. Starting And Running A Business On The Internet Is Expensive <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Do you know that you can start your business with zero cost? You can actually earn your income by joining a very high quality affiliate program. Usually, as an affiliate marketer, your job is concentrating on marketing only. All the follow up, delivery of the product, answering questions from customers and so on are done by the owner of the program. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Usually the ‘expensive’ statement often comes from people who are living in non-U.S. countries, especially if the country’s local currency is smaller than that of the U.S. Dollar. If it is not a currency issue, it is a vision issue. See and think small to get small. See and think big and your results will have a tendency to match your thoughts. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>2. You Can Make Easy Money From The Internet <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Most people believe you can make money overnight and by not doing anything at all. If it is what you have in mind right now, this myth is what sets the realistic apart from the unrealistic. You have probably heard of stories of how people make 5 to 6 figure incomes in the shortest period of time imaginable. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>These stories might be true but did you know most of them have failed so miserably several times before they can really make money? They have learned from their mistakes and move on. It may seem as if some gurus are overnight successes with the wild numbers some people have brought in during a day or a week selling information or products online. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Some interesting facts about overnight success – it normally takes months if not years to realize. In other words, they prepare, they create a joint ventures, they get ready and then build up anticipation for a launch – then BOOM it explodes! <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>3. You Must Know HTML, Programming And Graphic Designing In Order To Start Your Business <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>You don’t need to know all of these at all. Period. In fact, one of the biggest shockers was the discovery that most of the biggest on the gurus today do not have the first clue as to how to build a web page. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>These gurus earned more money because they knew how to reach people. They either outsource for professional help or establish Joint Ventures with other individuals who can compensate their lack of knowledge in any one of these areas. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>As a matter of fact, most successful people are true successes because they only focus their time on what brings them successes. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>If you want to create your web pages without having to learn programming, HTML and designing skills, just find someone else that can do it for you. There are many professional web designer you can find on the Internet which you can hire them to design your web pages exactly like you wanted. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>4. On The Internet, There Is No Need To Know How To Sell <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>This statement has make people who hate selling are attracted to ads that read “no selling required”. Think for a moment, is there any logic at all you can make money without doing anything at all? Usually these programs are usually unworkable and some are run by fly-by-night operators. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>In this business, don’t try to sell to other people. Instead, you inform your potential customers. Show people what their lives would be like with what you offer and you will have a sale without selling anything at all! <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>5. You Don’t Have To Build A Mailing List At All <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Laughing out loud – that is like saying, “I don’t want to be in business”. Put this in your head, your mailing list is as important to you as the “Yellow Pages” is to a conventional B2B business. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>“The money is in the list”. You probably heard this from most gurus out there. But you should also have this word in your mind, “The money is in the relationship”. The idea of networking with people is unattractive to most who hate to sell. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Remember though, you are not selling anything. You are just showing people their life and how it can easily be enhanced by what you have to offer. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>All the above are just some of the big Internet lies. Actually there are a lot more Internet lies you should stay away from. You have to be smart in order to really achieve success that you could possibly imagine. Success is like enlightenment. It is a path and not a destination. Click Below To Get More Information <br/><br/>  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running a home based Lifepath Unlimited business that is built on the foundations of your dreams can often be a very frustrating experience. When you first joined the company you probably did so because you had a dream, a vision – to live a life of freedom and happiness thanks to running your own MLM business from the comfort of your home. <br/><br/>Why most MLM businesses fail <br/><br/>Sadly enough, that dream lasts a few months for most new home business owners until the reality hits them hard. Initially you do everything you are told at the live company meetings; you talk to your friends and family, you KNOW that they NEED your help to break them free of their own shackles and yet, people just don&#8217;t seem to understand that your product and opportunity is the answer to all their problems. <br/><br/>MLM businesses like Lifepath Unlimited fail because of the way you are told to market your business. Even so your business opportunity offers people a way out of the rat race with fabulous products, people will not be responsive to your offer unless you manage to market to them the smart way – and not the hard way. <br/><br/>Don&#8217;t believe everything you are told <br/><br/>If you want to supercharge your Lifepath Unlimited business you must not buy into the outdated marketing practices you are told by your upline. Do you seriously believe they are making a ton of money because they speak with all their friends and family, or drop flyers, post community board notices and what not. <br/><br/>Join the revolution of the new-rich by utilizing the Internet <br/><br/>Network marketing opportunities were flying of the shelves back in the 1980s when everything was new and people still believed into the dreams painted by the companies. Today, we are not only a whole lot more smarter, but also more educated. We now know that those old-style marketing methods don&#8217;t work anymore. If you want to see results and build a successful business you must be online. <br/><br/>3 tips to do it right, starting today <br/><br/>The following 3 tips will help you turn your stale Lifepath Unlimited business into something much more powerful, something that can indeed be capable of generating a ton of sales, set you free financially and allow you to live happily ever after: <br/><br/>1. Dispose of the company lead generation site: If you currently pay the company to supply you with a generic lead generation site to capture online leads stop right here. Forget these generic sites because they don&#8217;t work! <br/><br/>Instead pay someone else to set you up with a unique, highly targeted website, blog or both to really take advantage of the potential of the Internet. <br/><br/>2. Stop spending more than you make: I know that it is very easy to get swept away when you are told to do this and that in order to really see results in your business, especially if you are among like-minded people at a company event. <br/><br/>These events are cleverly designed to excite you, to make you spend money on company branded tools and brochures. While it&#8217;s true that it takes money to make money you have to learn to draw the line somewhere, and put a hold on your excessive spending – at least until you have enough cash flow to do this without losing sleep at night. <br/><br/>3. Learn all you can about direct response marketing: If you truly want to excel in your Lifepath Unlimited business opportunity then you must learn all you can about direct response marketing. It&#8217;s the one way traditional MLM and direct sales business model opportunities can still work in an age where prospects are way more clued up about the system and more inclined to turn you down on sight as soon as they smell a cold sale. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  <br/><br/>In review of President Ernest B Koroma`s tenure his goal, mission and vision has been dynamic without reservations or any prejudices advancing the change concept which has been essentially embraced by the greater majority as a collective initiative for a common destiny is mainstream. He continues to make tremendous improvements within two years in office walking the talk so far so good, with results better uplifting the country with a new sign of hope from the lowest ebb and doldrums it was before his election to office. <br/><br/>He may have suffered setbacks by force majeure, but greatly due to the selfishness of partisan politics, deceptions by so called friends parading his corridors for personal gains and emoluments, foes and opponents both inside the country and outside in the Diasporas making situation difficult for his leadership, as it has become the order of our body politics in rivalry, which he continues to contain and judge prudently with temperance directing him and justice being his guide. Notwithstanding such adversity he continues to exploit his vision in meeting his obligations by statements of pledges made before his presidency. In this light, we must all be committed as sierra Leoneans for the general welfare and well being of our country to embrace his agendas for change as the way forward and better option with collaborative efforts for success in general. Likewise we must also revisit other good ideas and initiatives for deliberations with stake holders and partners since no one person has a monopoly to knowledge.   By such gesture in bridging the gap with tolerance, we can guide our nation out of the self inflicted perpetual poverty, miseries, complacency, mediocrity with evil intents. A nation not united cannot stand the test of present global challenges, which demands unified efforts and support the only way to progress and development. <br/><br/>Sierra Leone is not a poor country, but it is the people who are poor in body, mind and spirit because past leaders and those entrusted to make the difference to change for their welfare were poor in ideas, vision, in generosity and lacks compassion. When one chooses to go into politics, it must be with the intentions of serving the people sincerely not the people becoming servants of the politicians, as justifications for inimical acts and self aggrandisements. <br/><br/>Recently it has been announced that oil commonly known as black gold has been found in Sierra Leone. Yes it is right to celebrate and thinking positively to what it can do for the nation and its suffering people. It is too premature to start building hopes without concrete and solid foundation in clear cut policies and agendas directing and favouring the country and its people solidly embedded. Oil has become a curse as well as a blessing to many producing nations globally and we cannot be an exception to this phenomenon.  It is a commodity whose irresistible appetite globally can salvage the economy of Sierra Leone with the credence it deserves in transparency and proper management and disbursement of its proceeds in equitable manner in a nutshell can transform the economy. But sadly this does not happen over night and in even five years from now. It takes rigorous planning very conscientiously to get it right. Ghana has also found Oil over five years ago in commercial quantity and is still working out modalities between its government, the explorers’ and stake holders.  However this is another opportunity for the country to get the rude awakening of the fact that we ought to go back and make amends and corrections to our many mistakes in other historic events visited unto the country and its people which have left many negatives and few positives effects on the economic system.  Never the less with this development in its germinating form, government should regain control by all means of Oil Refinery, restructuring it to start processing crude Oil once again as an initial starter, while in conjunction creating and floating an Oil company with greater shares owned invite strategic partnerships, create and float share holdings possibilities for citizens, local investors both in the country and in the Diaspora who are interested to invest their money. This should be the starting point for everyone including the people of the country to be comfortable in collaborative participation not selected few as was in the past to many economic projects that may lead to chaos in the future. <br/><br/>With hindsight for instance, what have we done with our gold, diamonds, rutile, iron ore, titanium, coffee and cacao, palm oil, ginger and the fishing industries’ to mention just a few? It has brought us the worst nightmare and misery any nation could pray for not to happen. So what is making us abhorring the myopic thinking that it will be better and different this time without addressing and properly auditing the past predicaments of similar nature in our assets misappropriation? There are many more questions than answers to the equation of wealth and minerals of Sierra Leone that needed to be forensically audited critically for posterity, so that transparency and proper fiscal management and even distribution across board should be the guiding principles and benchmarks. Where did we go wrong in the first place, and why and how we did end up the way we are without significant progress to hold on to from the past? The impact on our infrastructures, projects and developments, security and sovereign integrity is nothing good to write home about. If we fail to do so now, a generation will take the bull by the horn in time to come holding our conscience in memory responsible, when we would have gone with the wind with nothing positive left in the annals of history to be the legacy for the children of tomorrow. <br/><br/>All the stock exchanges in the world are pre-occupied with Africa&#8217;s gold, diamonds, uranium, platinum, copper and iron ores. Our capital flows out in streams to irrigate the whole system of Western economy.  Africa provides more than 60 per cent of the world&#8217;s gold. A great deal of the uranium for nuclear power, of copper for electronics, of titanium for supersonic projectiles, of iron and steel for heavy industries, of other minerals and raw materials for lighter industries &#8211; the basic economic might of the foreign Powers &#8211; comes from our continent. In Sierra Leone we are blessed with many of these minerals resources than even others who are making steady progress like Rwanda for example who do not have a single mineral potential but human resource capacity and have been through a war far devastating than ours making rapid progress in their socio economic development and especially business capacity outsourcing in manpower. <br/><br/>We must start looking at all options but focused on some of our industries which can impact directly on the economy by reviving them rather than doing away with for pittance. This would not only increase the country’s foreign exchange earnings but also offer job opportunities and openings to the large army of unemployed youths both educated and many other who are not. By this strategy we can build vocational training formulas to develop skilled labour force. If the Government because of financial constraints cannot get these factories running again, it should target and invite private investors to form partnerships rather than going for outright sales to infrastructure which at the end would have to be developed all over again. If past governments had recognized the legacy and purpose for building assets and infrastructures as a viable investment for the future, things would have been better managed than they are today.  This is one of the many ways the Youths of the country can be empowered with a clear foundation convincingly to join government in building a joint venture future as stake holders and partners relying on the fortunes of the country and the wise channelling or its assets rather than been boisterous, rebellious and recalcitrant being used as political tools seasonally when it comes to electioneering. The youth must be groomed as stakeholders not pawns in a political chess game and as foot soldiers.  In this light Sierra Leone will be focusing on being the prime supplier/distributer of manufactured goods to other African countries. Our objective should be aspiring to reduce import for consumption and looking at local production for export and domestic consumptions. <br/><br/>The time is now ripe to implement these plans with the assistance of finding strategic partners who will teach us to fish and process it within our shores rather than always going for the easy option of a bowl in the hand for alms from donors and aid providers which takes away our integrity and capacity to be self sufficient. China and India is ever ready to cooperate with Africa towards development as partners and the time is ripe with the right government in place to engage in barter trading effectively with strategic planning in place; bartering what you have for what you need.  This has been the first methodology for the practice of trade and commerce since time immemorial.  Many countries developed through this pattern from historic generations to present day. We must now embrace BARTER TRADING as part of our formula for the future we want to see in Sierra Leone. Even run down industries in the UK and other European countries are now rehabilitated by China and Indian and other businessmen through bartering business strategies. Government should create the right environment and provide the conducive policy frame work meeting 21st century solutions for mutually beneficial co-operation with interested partnerships as stake holders in joint venture projects were all parties emerges winners. It is imperative on the need for Sierra Leone to be master of her own destiny, rather than depending on foreign Aid investment and build its own local industries, oil companies, agro industries to meet the needs of her people. Today it is the focus of every other country to earnest its potential through its resources rather than just given it away for virtually pittance. <br/><br/>Dr Siaka Probyn Stevens was the President many hated for political reasons and vilified for partisan purposes was the architect of the great venture of BUMBUNA HYDRO PROJECT which is almost near completion that will turn the wheels of fortune for the country dramatically into a positive spin for energy and security beneficial to industries and other infrastructures thereby improving human resource capacity building. Even the Oil we are now talking about started with positive results made during his era in the early eighties nearly bringing Sierra Leone and Liberia into a border conflict for the possession of the area of SULAIMA which is the demarcation zone we now see on the exploration Oil map that would have been ceded if stance were not taken then by Stevens.  Another typical example is what is now happening in the YENGA dispute between Sierra Leone and Guinea with the potential of triggering a border conflict because of mineral deposits the bigger story not dilated yet upon. There is no smoke without a fire.  Let us try to be guided prudently by the events of our past history to avoid misinformation and disservice to the people unproductive elements within are waiting to capitalise on for political gains which may have the tendency to take the country back to its darkest days. Nigeria one of the five largest producers of oil in the world has not seen any positive benefits translated into the pockets of the citizenry but rather few greedy politicians and their business allies. It is now an albatross hanging on the neck of many governments affecting peace process and national security.  History has shown that many wars are fought for material gains involving territorial and mineral assets influence and motivated by selfish and personal aggrandisement. We must start taking control of our own destiny as a sovereign country with integrity. The whole essence of this philosophy is for us to re-affirming seeing ourselves as equals and partners to any other race under the sun and doing our utmost best to chart a course suitable in building our nation on our own terms and not being afraid to control our destiny. This is the change present OBAMA envisage for the African people in his many speeches especially the one made on his historic visit to Ghana. It is not a crime to think and dream big for Sierra Leone, it is the only way forward better things can be attracted by the unifying forces of positivity. We must transform ourselves from a humiliated, exploited, disgraced and confused personality we made of ourselves as a nation to a RESPECTFUL GLOBAL CITIZEN capable of developing our potentials by enhancing and transforming our resources to human gains and capitals for national benefits. <br/><br/>A lost priority of Sierra Leone’s development is about the fact that the reality of issues has been woefully neglected. President Koroma’s vision and the people’s collective energies in ideologies are what the country needs and surely development will happen, “a paradigm shift”. It is worthwhile to note that the ideologies laid down in the 1960s that is perceived as outdated believe it or not is the “model of development” by which we still continue to rely on and adopted. Nothing actually new has happened that much since 1961. The late Siaka Stevens was a leader of vibrant national passion for development and self-reliance who embarked upon very costly nationwide infrastructure improvement scheme and in the same vein, gave credence to home-grown solutions towards insuring food security by strategic improvements in the agriculture sector including business ventures that saw many Sierra Leoneans entrepreneurs emerging taking their rightful places in the many businesses. In the late 70s most of the rampaging nature of multinational companies in pulling their resources and investments from Sierra Leone was to deliberately take us backward knowingly preparing the ground ripe for chaos because of our quest to take control of institutions and replicating their businesses.  Dependency on aid, debt and increasing poverty became the order of the day in the absence of greater economic and political integration. While we should have been steadfast and persevered as a nation, we became divided politically, tribally and socially which started to erode our democratic process, structures and security.  Many times we have made bad and unpatriotic statements on past leaders their effigy destroyed or burnt to ashes; mocked and scorned by the very people they use to govern. Not a very healthy signal for our unity and reflections into the future. But most of their memories have survived the test of times like many in other African countries. In the new African renaissance in general and Sierra Leone in particular, we must now place great emphasis on the presentation of history. Our history needs to be rewritten as the history of our society, not as the story of Diasporas adventures. The Sierra Leonean society must be treated as enjoying its own integrity; its history must be a mirror of its society, and our Diasporas contacts and affiliation must find its place in this history only as an individual African experience, even if as a crucial one. That is to say, the Diasporas influence and connection needs to be assessed and judged from the point of view of the principles animating our society and from the point of view of the harmony and progress of our people’s trials, tribulations and developments up to date. <br/><br/>When history is presented in this way, it can become not only an account of how our very elite brothers and sisters who took over the leadership in steering our destiny became more Europeanized in thinking and obligations than the very values, traditions and cultures were over sighted for reasons other than selfish tendencies and personal ego to the country’s detriment losing sight and flavours’ of their pedigree; it can then become a map of the growing tragedy and failures to be understood leading to final triumph of our society over adversity, calamities and misfortunes. <br/><br/>In this way, our country’s history and heritage can come to guide and direct our actions in politics, trade and business, social responsibilities and commitments with a common sense of obligations enhancing our democratic process. Finally we must begin to appreciate and recognise our past leaders and those dim to be heroes and learn to give them their due within our socio-cultural climate and what they stood for cannot be so easily wished away through partisan, tribal or social differences by a group of people.“Nothing can stand between our highest ideal except the lack of understanding of our inner most power from GOD and the refusal to work with it collectively as a nation and as one people with a common destiny. Our own mental condition, the scope of our vision, our action and faith, determine exactly how much substance of any kind will be drawn to us physically and spiritually. Nature will give us just what in our innermost thought is projected&#8230;” <br/><br/></p>
