A Website is access to Opportunity

My telephone rang at around 11:50am today. It was the Senior Business Manager from an international firm telling me more about the services his company provides. I wondered for a moment - "how did he find out about my company." Then, he broke the ice, "Sir, when we came across your website, it amazed my team and they immediately drew it to my attention."

"I decided that I would make this cold call myself." he said. "Whoever put that website together, did a splendid job." I told him that I've been developing this site since I was 11 years old and adding bit by bit as my business progresses.

This baffled him again. "I wish I had his conversation saved." Our talk opened my eyes AGAIN to the many opportunities that exist across the world. I was thankful that I had a website, that was well marketed and working for me. (I've done all the marketing for my website using some simple tools) I've never paid for website optimization.

Time won't permit me to tell you about the international companies that call and email daily offering to pay to advertise on my website. I honestly believe ECOMMERCE can pay and I'll make it work step by step for me until I write my ECOMMERCE STORY.

Imagine - just imagine. Sitting at home or floating around in my pool (FUTURE) one day and letting my websites work for me.

Don't Lose the Hype!

. . .I stopped for a while TONIGHT - -just a few minutes ago and thought; and thought.

It's been a while since I last shared what's on my mind here on my http://www.kvktalks.com/ Blog. Then I thought how easy it is to start something 'with hype,' lots of hype then stop so suddenly.

You see. . .if you are to climb to the top of ladder and stay there, We just can't start and stop. One of the commercials that has left an imprint on my mind ever since I saw it constantly as a child, is that of THE  ENERGIZER BUNNY. Do you remember? It keeps going and going and going. It never stops.

That's my encouragement tonight (9:18pm EST) as I pen these words.

I've gotten the encouragement and I've also been bash. Many Times. I've embarassed myself and been embarassed by others. I've failed at tasks and I've succeeded too. I sometimes felt like giving up at times. . .but, it's then and there I remember that God placed me on this earth to be a winner - not a quitter.

So. . . when those around you Try - Try I say - Try to pull you down. Stand Your Ground.

. . . and, if you ever fall. .  .get up quickly and keep on running. God's with you!

Don't give up! Keep the Faith! Keep on Going! Someday - You'll reach the top!

Moving with the New Wave of Online Business - Trying Something New

It thrilled my heart this week to step up our online marketing of KVK ENTERPRISES LTD and re-launch our online store. http://www.shopkvk.com/

This makes it far easier to shop from the comfort of your home or office and communicate with a customer service rep nearly 24-7 through our chat button on http://www.kvkenterprises.com/ and http://www.shopkvk.com/.

WOW - my BB went off, there I was communicating INSTANTLY with a customer on my website. A few minutes later, I had a SALE. Interesting!!!!

KVK has stepped us its official marketing to the world. My dream is to get a large percentage of the world buying a Custom FLAG T-shirt bearing their native country's flag, from my store at: http://stores.homestead.com/shopkvk2/-strse-Gift-Items/Categories.bok

Imagine if just 10% of the world buys a Custom Printed Shirt from KVK ENTERPRISES online, what this would do for our business. We've also started selling online books and software to the world - check out our small select range at: http://www.kvkenterprises.com/extras.htm

In just a few days, we'll be marketing our products on auction sites around the world. We just have to keep pushing and trying and in the long run, yes in the long run - someday we'll make it to the top of the ladder of success.

Why all this writing? . . . it's simply because I want you to join me, do something different, keep your mind occupied. Let's see if ONLINE BUSINESS really works.

Our Local Bankers Need A New Approach

Let's Push Our Bankers to Be Different

 

Sometimes when I stop by small sideway shops, things are so tight that their shops are nearly empty. Many of these owners think they don't qualify for a loan.

 

What if our local bankers were to appoint someone as a traveling loans/marketing officer who will go out to small businesses and offer to do a loan application on the spot, fill disclosure agreements etc and offer something small. Maybe $1000 - $5000. In the same light, offer to help them with their accounts and have a collections officer come around weekly to collect a small payment.

 

This will help them tremendously and gradually help to turn our economy around.

 

On Friday last, I was a bit shocked when I got a call from a certain US BANK's corporate officer who found us on the internet, pre-filled an application from the information he had and is hegging me to fax over over Articles of Incoporation and two pieces of ID for two officers from the account.

 

He showed me many benefits of banking in the USA and offered to set up a Merchant account which would allow me to get my deposits directly into the US account since I wasn't inland-USA. He informed me that getting access to cash wouldn't be a problem because they'll issue a Debit Card with automatic overdraft benefits etc etc.

 

Wow. . .imagine the USA is now marketing down here, what if they start doing that to many other people in the region, our local bankers will be affected greatly.

 

I may not go down in history for this idea, but I'll be comforted in the fact that I helped contribute in helping to turn our economy around.

 

Just an idea.

My General New Year Wish - YOU CAN MAKE IT!

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR  -  2011

As you reminisce on this past year and look forward with God's grace into a new year, remember to keep your eyes focussed - fully focussed on the Prize ahead.

If you ever fall, don't stay down, get up like David and try again - keep on pushing! If you have a dream or an idea and lack the support, still go after it - Joseph and Esther were among the unpopular few who had their mind set and made up. DON'T GIVE UP!

Never be afraid to take the chances you should. Sometimes a chance is all it takes to make your dream come through. (Author Unkwown)

Happy New Year when it Comes.

Feel free to join my Ministry - Dare 2 Be Different Int'l (http://www.d2bdifferent.com/) for our New Years Victory Party at the Dr. William Connor Primary School at 1am on Sat. 1st January, 2011.

Let's Just Work Together. . .

I wondered and wondered and wondered, this Friday past, what the one on one experience would be like when I met with a particular BLACK person in authority.

I quickly found out about one minute into the conversation. It was another "Crab in a Barrel" situation. I decided that the meeting would not last long and I decided to not go on any further with it. I humbly and respectfully ended the meeting in less than three minutes and exited the room.

Honestly, it frankly didn't bother me, what the person thought after my actions. I had decided for some time now, after many other "crab-in-a-barrel" experiences, that I would never waste my time sitting or standing and letting some other person pull me down, or pull down my idea. Allowing that to happen, would not help to advance me, so I refuse to let it happen!

So should you!

At 24 years, I've faced countless "crab-in-a-barrel" experiences. At first, I used to think that EVERYONE  loved my plans and was excited about helping me achieve them. How foolhardy! I not too long after noticed that that wasn't so.

I met these "crab-in-a-barrel" experiences

. . . in the CHURCH  SETTING. YES IN THE CHURCH SETTING!

. .  .in  COMMUNITY  PROJECTS!

. . .in BUSINESS!

and the list goes on. I won't go into detail here. Maybe one day when we meet face to face, I'll share some with you to help prove that YOU CAN OVERCOME!

What is sad to note though, is that in nearly most of life's experiences where I would have needed a helping hand, a word of encouragement from someone experienced, or just a tap on the shoulder - MANY  TIMES, it NEVER came from my Black Race.

MIND YOU. . .there were and are those who did and continue to be DIFFERENCE MAKERS and TOWERS OF STRENGTH  in my life. I BLESS GOD for them. Note well though, they are few and so I becareful - very careful as to the MOTIVES of those who claim to want to help or encourage me.

I stopped what I was doing at around 10:36pm (Sat. 4th Dec. 2010), as the thought crossed my mind and so I decided to add to my BLOG.

Many other races are working together and moving on. It's time for the BLACK RACE to do the same!

When last have you read stories of BLACK PEOPLE, who started out small and now are successful?

When last have you heard of BLACK PEOPLE moving from RAGS to RICHES. From Poor to Happy and Financially Comfortable?

There are many who've closed their ears to the NEGATIVES and decided to push. Let's clothe ourselves with that spirit. We can do it!

After all this writing. . . the word to all of my readers. . . if you still don't find the support you need. Don't Stop Pushing. If you meet up with the "Crab-in-the-Barrel" spirits, still keep on trying to reach the top.

Like the energizer bunny. .  .Keep going and going and going. In the LONG RUN.  . .SOMEDAY . . . SOMEDAY SOON. You'll make it! Dare 2 Be Different!
