Unleash Your True Potential Through Creativity By Jivi Khehra
Many South Asians believe that as leaders, we must have all the answers to the challenges experienced in business. We sometimes think it is beneath us to get input from me team members that work for us. I am still amazed at how many businesses don’t talk to team members regarding new ideas and they do not take any proactive measures in promoting creativity and innovation within their team...

Finding Your Core Passion-The Golden Key
By Jivi Khehra
"Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." ~Dr. Alexis Carrel
Most people, when searching for a job, will consider some basic criteria such as, “How much do I get paid? What are the benefits?” Sound familiar? Well, a few years ago, I found myself unsatisfied with the type of work I was doing.

Keep A Little Green In Your Pocket:
Wedding Budgets that put the "Eco" in Economical -By C.G. Scott |
| Okay. So you’ve heard this murmur. This rumour. Sort of like an echo that changes from person to person. Several say, $20,000. A few counter with, $10,000. A couple voices chirp, only $8,000, here! And you want to know what they’re talking about, because the figures press on your mind with the inscriptions of some strange mandala—all aspects of that one symbol, the dollar sign. Coin is a “$” in a circle and it’s heavy in your pocket. It’s a hot brand and it’s ready to burn away. ’Cause you’re looking at spending between $45,000 and $85,000 just to have the wedding you always wanted: word has it that the average cost of a South Asian wedding is around $55,000... |

Managing, Surviving, and Thriving: The Art of Strategic Planning By: Jivi Khehra
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tsu
If you do not know where you are going, how will you know you have arrived? This question and the quote above hold true for the many South Asians who enjoy the benefits of owning their own businesses. When working for yourself you have the freedom to make your ideas a reality and create an opportunity to make profit.

2009 Financial Outlook
By: Jessie
Since our last column on the financial status of the world economies, not a lot has changed. The Federal Reserve ended 2008 by reducing its policy rates to record lows.
