Year-End Functions & "Time" Obstacles!

The time of the year we find ourselves in currently causes more obstacles for most professional people than what they would care to admit to and one of the main obstacles usually is "Time". Due to the technology age we find ourselves in everything is faster, more compact & we all find ourselves running around faster than we can think logically.


Its a crucial time for most companies to thank their loyal clientele & employees through invites of Year-End Functions as well as the fact that other companies extend invitations as well there-for "Time" becomes an even bigger obstacle for most, CEO's, Managers, the complete work-force...and YOU & I.

Simply email or call us to assist you and your family with your weekly "heaped-up" personal laundry and add the time you save to plan your schedule more effectively.


We are here to give you the time you deserve by giving you a service to the best of our ability. Simply stop what you are doing right now and contact us form more details.


Good luck and God bless.

"Leadership"

Mark Sanborn, author of "The Fred Factor" says in his book with the same title as well, "You don't need a Title to be a Leader" and within this book you find that people with the smallest intentions usually can make the largest impact on many a Leader's life. Doesn't that just show us that every single person on earth is worth much more than we give them credit for?


A few years ago I met up with an old friend who I knew at that time, 20 years ago. Being involved with a networking company with a fantastic leadership program for all that is truly interested I have already become convinced that every single person has some kind of leadership skill within him/herself although they most probably would never even think of admitting to the idea or think much of it.


Well, this friend of mine, let's call her "Jacky" for now, was and still at times are this kind of person, having these wonderful skills, applying them every single day of her life and yet never once truly admit whole-heartedly that she did change someone's life for good. In fact, at that time she actually as much as said that she never possess or ever will such a skill, "leadership" skill.


Jacky have been actively working in the newspaper world for many years. Jacky started as a "librarian" in her town at one of the local newspapers with no previous experience and became the editor's right-hand person for many years. Jacky has many a time almost seen the inside of a jail because of her loyalty towards the world of news and her editor. She did not stop there as Jacky decided to watch closer when her fellow colleagues were working in departments that she knew nothing about and decided that within her own time she would start teaching herself skills, new skills to eventually move into a position being a desktop publisher and as her life took on a new path into this world, she became known to be more than just a loyal servant to the newspaper world.


Now, getting back to when we refreshed our friendship, Jacky was in this position and also became involved after hours in the same networking company I represent. Once the leadership program started Jacky made known that she can't and never will be effective in a leadership roll. This is where the Author, Mark Sanborn is proving everyone having that mindset totally wrong which is by the way one of the reasons I would suggest anybody to read his book, "You don't need a Title to be a Leader".


Jacky took complete control of the responsibility within her department to such an extent that she was even first there and last to leave before her "Manager" on every occasion that I can think about. When any problem occurred during production, Jacky was the one to step to the plate, taking responsibility and teaching all other around her how it should be done. Jacky's Manager did not write reports as she made sure it was done even before anyone requested and made sure all relevant department Managers received the copy.


When Jacky's seniors left early, she attended to the workload until finished, always within the relevant time schedule. Jacky taught all new comers the programs with notes, patience and assisted until they had every detail pinned down correctly. She took the steps to advise everyone concerned about future problems that will arise and what the solutions can be taken at such times and still Jacky is not within the level of Leadership, or so she thinks.


Jacky's latest venture? An offer to become a full-fledged librarian under the watch-full eye of a Graduated librarian with a University degree who has already planned her first course as a librarian and this all within the same company Jacky already represents. With this decision taken by the company and accepted by Jacky the next ball started rolling. Jacky, being in training herself in the new department kept going back training new people in her old department and kept at it until late hours. Problems which occurred was again solved by Jacky while having to split her mind into a new direction already.


Why am I writing all this about Jacky when in fact my heading is "Leadership"? What you do not realize, and Jacky, is that with all her actions without having the title of being a Leader she has proved to be a leader to people being her piers and her followers without having to bear the title which makes Jacky someone most in her present company will look up to and by Jacky leading the way with her actions there will be others following her because they simply would want to be just like her. Don't you agree that through actions Jacky's leadership are far more worth to her company as well as her followers?

Give me something decent to wear!

My shirt looks like it's been pulled out of the trash-can! Ever heard a similar remark? Or have you said something similar before? We wear garments to many occasions every single day of our lives and we do not always regard this an important necessity and yet, when something is not to our liking when we do change our clothing, we all have something in common, we're all suddenly complaining far too much and doing nothing at all to change the situation.

There are numerous programs on television giving us the best and the worst dress actor and/or actress, programs about what to wear to which occasion, programs about performing miracles to people that do not have much or no dress sense and so on and so forth...and yet we all still maintain that dressing ourselves each day is only a mere formality.


I have written about the idea on other pages with no response so far and there-for I am giving it one more chance right now here to see what we can come up with on the world wide web, I mean seriously folks, surely some of us care enough about our clothing to start and keep a conversation going or do we think we have become so perfect that we can not even spend a few minutes giving our thoughts discussing this simple topic. I am sure many out there has something they can add to a conversation such as this.


Let's start with our men on the web. I have heard on numerous occasions that a wife says her husband is not satisfied with the washing or ironing of his clothing and there-for the wives seek other options to improve this situation. Now men, please do share your views with us and your concerns regarding your personal clothing. What is it that you find not to your satisfaction when your clothing is washed and ironed usually? What irritates you most and what do you men find is the most common problem you experience with your clothing being ironed incorrectly or washed? I am sure more people would find all your views rather interesting and the discussion might cause problems to be solved as anybody can actually join in this discussion with their own views.


Ladies, being one myself I do acknowledge that we might seem to become monotonous when complaining about our most favorite garment which just never seems to be ironed correctly...and we just can't imagine that our employee can't get rid of that ugly old red-wine stain on a shirt or some other irritating problem we continuously find keeps bugging us. This is your chance too. Please do share your views, complaints, most common errors regarding washing and ironing in your household as I am sure somewhere, someone will be able to come up with solutions to all these situations we find regarding our washing and ironing.


I would like to add that everyone that participate in this discussion that encountered a problem though found a solution, please be so kind as well to share with us in this discussion should you have a solution to what might be mentioned through-out this ongoing discussion and I do believe your views and solutions will reach someone, somewhere.


It will be fantastic if this discussion travels through-out the globe and it would be equally interesting to read how far spread into the world the same problems are experienced with solutions and if there have been no solution, perhaps this is the right time and right place to find it...


Happy writing everyone!

  

All Visitors to Windhoek, Namibia...!

One of the most exciting ventures to plan undoubtedly especially when winter is in full flow in Namibia becoming one of the most want-to-be-at venues around the world. The time for hunters coming from all corners of the world expecting that one big hit, or the thought of a super piece of wild meat on the barbeque getting to know the local population known for their friendly assistance through-out any visitors stay in Namibia.

Yeah, even the visitor that only want to enjoy the life-style, travel all corners of Namibia and be amazed by the wonderful scenery of a country far from crowded.

Before any of these wonderful ventures can become a reality, most visitors have plenty of planning to do ahead of time, probably mostly using the services of tour organizations or specialized tour guides to organize, plan and getting everything rolling into action.

We love all visitors, believe me and we enjoy welcoming you all into our country, our hearts and our history. Obviously I am including professional visitors to Namibia for business reasons as well and you would be included in this discussion.

Let's get down to only one reality that could become a headache to many a visitor even though it usually is included in all arrangements and that entails your personal laundry while visiting or touring Namibia. Personally I found visitors to Namibia that prefers without a doubt to find their own laundry services such as a washing and ironing service to have a more personal touch caring for their laundry.

Touring or business, your reasons could be anything from preferring environmental products to a natural washing and ironing service to just plain enjoying meeting more local people besides you're tour guides, hotel professionals or your fellow tourist company. As a tourist or professional you may simply want to be more in control of your personal laundry. It would be great if any of you could respond to my blog and give me your personal views and how you feel about this specific area.

Why you might be asking right now? Through all my experience in sales all these years and we'll keep that topic short, I found the lack of personal attention and service to the customer, looking after their needs have been disappearing fast with the information age we find ourselves in today. The hunt for more business, larger premises and higher profits are causing that the customer's needs are somewhere down the line...we know it's there, we know we should be dealing with it...but we simply have more at stake than really caring about that little obstacle.

I have been involved with one or two areas where service is crucial to success and I have been studying where there might be a gap in our market to introduce a service to clients where they feel and know that their needs are being set first and foremost. This is how the old idea with a new view were re-born and today I find myself the owner of a new business, "Heila's Wash Saloon". Yes, I agree it seems simple and won't be noticed. I do intend with careful planning this new venture should start small, grow with client's needs and become the best well-known service through-out Namibia with the client's needs to be most important.

The intention is to add services for client's personal needs as the business grow with the population of Windhoek in Namibia, eventually growing into a company for the whole of Namibia. Dreaming big? Yeah! Will this dream be achieved? Heck, yes!  I will follow up with more of "Heila's Wash Saloon" and I dearly wish for you all to give me your opinions, how you would feel, what you would like if you were to be a client and what services you would like to be added if this where in your area. It would be great to read more about people's thoughts and you would be assisting your fellow consumer to be able to receive the best possible client service.

Should anyone of you be visiting Windhoek, Namibia in future, feel free to contact us for your personal laundry needs in the meantime and who knows, we meeting each other could be another experience to take back to your friends and family.

Till next time...great reading...!
