Media for Boomers in SA

There is so much media out there and sometimes we just keep buying the same magazines out of habit. Which magazines and other media do you really enjoy? I am especially interested to discover which ones have understood the Boomer trend and targeting us as a marketing group.

For me personally Women and Home and Country Life are two magazines that I really enjoy.

Would love your views.

The Power of Networking - Part 6

THE POWER OF NETWORKING

Part 6
By Nikki Viljoen of Viljoen Consulting.

I promised to continue this section with your approach and attitude to Networking.

Most people seem to approach a Networking meeting with the “Let’s see what’s in it for me” glint in their eyes. Let’s face it folks, as Trevor Nel of Inner circle (www.innercircleforum.com) always says “We all come to these meetings to sell, not to buy”. So what would make your service, your widg… Continue

My wonderful sister !

I am Lynda's sister - living in the States. Lynda has always been a positive force in my life, and never gives up! I have found out that many of us baby boomers do suffer from some type of depression from time to time, be it situational or perhaps chemical. I totally agree with Lynda that when you reach out and do for others, you do stop feeling sorry for yourself, and the healing is incredible.

My desire for growth in 2010 for this site, its members and anyone else that we may touch.

The Baby Boomers are the first generation in the history of mankind that are moving towards the life stage called RETIREMENT and discovering that the picture no longer looks the same. The global shifts and the gift for many of us of an extra stage in life without the responsibility of children is at hand. The challenge is to discover who we are and how we would like to use this gift.

The journey of discovery of who we are takes time,courage and experimenting with different options.It is a const… Continue

Save Time and Money Buying Art Online!

When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.

The Power of Networking - Part 5

THE POWER OF NETWORKING

Part 5

By Nikki Viljoen of Viljoen Consulting CC

I promised to continue this section with some great tips to Network with.

Let’s start off with some of Helen’s tips that she mentions in her book;

Follow Through – Helen writes “It is estimated that 3% of people follow up after meeting new people.”

The 97% that don’t follow up must all belong, well in part anyway, to the “Reluctant Entrepreneur” foundation that I was talking about in previous postings.

Yip, right peo… Continue
