Mix business with pleasure

Hello there everyone, There is an old saying that goes like "Don't mix business with pleasure", well I'm not saying the people who came up with that term were/are stupid but i would just like to stress out to all my readers that one can do business and pleasure at the same time. Now some of you might be wondering how is that possible, but don't worry I just have the right formulation for you all.
Below are some tips on how to:  Keep up appearances

Whatever your business is — I don't care if it's selling tires or airplanes — you can't be a shut-in. Most people don't want to go to a company party, but that's because they don't think of it as a family. I know plenty of guys that don't care to attend family reunions either, but those that don't go are remembered for not being there. Keeping up appearances applies to work events, and especially to family events, because that's all you've got to fall back on in this world. show up, you show your face, you buy a round of drinks. Half of business and family is putting in the right time outside of work.  

Check the schedule

Every day is a big day if you're trying to make money. But money doesn't always come to those who work hardest. There are guys who will work into the night even when tomorrow is a slow day. For whatever reason, they can't relax (or they just don't want to go home). If it's a slow week and there's nothing you can do about it, don't let it turn into a 60-hour drain. The guys who can't stop usually end up working just as many years as the slackers do. Constant work makes him an alien to the outside world and sooner or later, he becomes socially awkward.    Acting according to your settings is another way of mixing business with pleasure...

Steps to protect yourself from Hackers

Good day all, as I promised in my previous post I'm going to provide y'all with steps to protect yourselves from Scams, Hackers and identity thefts, not only online but in real world as weell. Now being the man of my words here are some steps...

Protect yourself from fraud

Although fraud comes in many forms, there are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself from the crime.

1. Do not give any personal information (name, address, bank details, email or phone number) to organisations or people before verifying their credentials. 


2. Many frauds start with a phishing email. Remember that banks and financial institutions will not send you an email asking you to click on a link and confirm your bank details. Do not trust such emails, even if they look genuine. You can always call your bank using the phone number on a genuine piece of correspondence, website (typed directly into the address bar) or the phone book to check if you’re not sure.


3. Destroy and preferably shred receipts with your card details on and post with your name and address on. Identity fraudsters don’t need much information in order to be able to clone your identity.

4. Make sure your computer has up-to-date anti-virus software and a firewall installed. Ensure your browser is set to the highest level of security notification and monitoring to prevent malware issues and computer crimes.


5. Sign-up to Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code whenever you are given the option while shopping online. This involves you registering a password with your card company and adds an additional layer of security to online transactions with signed-up retailers.


6. If you receive bills, invoices or receipts for things you haven’t bought, or financial institutions you don’t normally deal with contact you about outstanding debts, take action. Your identity may have been stolen.


7. You should regularly get a copy of your credit file and check it for entries you don’t recognise. Callcredit, Equifax and Experian can all provide your credit file. An identity protection service such as ProtectMyID monitors your Experian credit report and alerts you by email or SMS to potential fraudulent activity. If it's fraud, a dedicated caseworker will help you resolve everything.


8. Be extremely wary of post, phone calls or emails offering you business deals out of the blue. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Always question it.

9. If you have been a victim of fraud, be aware of fraud recovery fraud. This is when fraudsters pretend to be a lawyer or a law enforcement officer and tell you they can help you recover the money you’ve already lost.

Inspirational quotes by inspirational people

Halo ladies and gentlemen, we all go through some trials and tribulations. We all have our darkest, lowest moments, moments when everything seems to be going against us! Very few people here will say there was never a time/s in their lives when they felt; it is not worth it living anymore. I myself have gone through hell to be where I'm today, I will probably go through hell again, but one thing I realised about life is that; it is never against you forever unless you want it to be that way. I quote from an Unknown source "You are not a good horse rider, until you have fallen off at least once from the back of your horse" and you know what else? A great rider will get back on that saddle and ride that horse, while a coward will be scared of falling off again! Its not about how many times you fell along the way, it's about whether you reached your destiny or not! "Winners never quit and quitters never win. Whatever you are going through now, no problem is too big to handle and no pain is too much to bear! it's all in your mind, if you tell yourself "I will do it!" nothing can stop you! never let a single failure hinder your progress throughout your whole life! Thomas Edison, the man who invented the bulb failed more than six thousand times, but he never gave up, because his desire to achieve his goal was bigger than his patience.

Now I will leave you with a few quotes from some great people this earth have ever seen

• Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. –Napoleon Hill
• Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. –Albert Einstein
• Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.  –Robert Frost
• I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse. –Florence Nightingale
• You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. –Wayne Gretzky
• I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. –Michael Jordan
