Sunday Motivation: The Time For Creativity Is Now

Growing up, whenever I heard people say that "You could be anything you want", I never believed it because I never got to see people around me becoming what they wanted.

I saw people who did what they had to do to survive but never become what they wanted to be.

Fast forward to the time we live in now and with all of the tools and resources available to us, my belief now is that we are only limited by our creativity.

Everyone's situations are different but it is encouraging when you see people being able to support themselves and families by just learning how to use their smartphone.

The time for creativity is now and I hope that whatever life you are creating, you lean into thinking outside of the box to innovate within your respective niche.

 

Caribshopper & Exporting Caribbean Products

In this episode, we go live with the CEO of Caribshopper...Mr. Kadion Preston.

This episode was a part of our Digipreneur Live series that can be found on Youtube if you would like to watch the video of this interview...Watch it here.

We took the audio for the video and dropped it on the Digipreneur FM channel because the conversation was really good and this will be a great episode for you to listen to, whilst going about your day.

We dove into how businesses can export their products to the North American market, what Amazon now allowing Caribbean product makers to partake in the Sellers program means for the region and good ol fashion advice from an entrepreneur who has had to raise funding to build what we know as Caribshopper.

The Digipreneur Vs The Entrepreneur

The Digital Age is going to require you to make the biggest mindset shift in our lifetime.

The rules have changed and most of what we were taught has expired.

If you can accept that technology is the great equalizer and are willing to learn the skills needed that will have you start and run a business from a laptop, you can carve out your space to succeed.

The Entrepreneur & The DigiPreneur whilst both enterprising...will take 2 routes different routes to a goal.

The difference is that many of us can't even get started becoming entrepreneurs because of all the hurdles.

The DigiPreneur can be anybody with an idea, a computer and an internet connection!

Sunday Motivation: You Do Not Need Validation

If there is 1 message I want to repeat to everybody, it is this one.

You do not need people to understand your journey, understand where you are coming from, give you permission, to cheer you on...you don't need this from anybody.

People will always doubt or critique, what they cannot wrap their minds around. Whether this is family, friends, people we are in relationships with...we do not need their permission or validation to pursue our dreams.

This is how people never get their ideas off the ground!

5 Reasons Why Marketing Doesn't Do Well In The Caribbean

In 2021, we here in the Caribbean need to step up our marketing efforts.

We have yet to make the shift necessary to understand that marketing is a revenue-generating activity and learn that great marketing sells or generates leads.

Social media marketers of the Caribbean...likes and engagement means nothing to CEOs who are looking at their bottom line & you can't show how your work generates revenue.

These 5 areas outlined in this episode are key areas for improvement.

Sunday Motivation: #NoExcuses

We live in a time where it's harder to give excuses for our situations.

We can learn skills right from home, start businesses with just a smartphone and connect with anybody across the globe.

Limitations are for those who aren't creative enough to create a solution.

Let's take the time this week to learn how to change the stories in our heads when we come across the challenges that we face. Most times, when faced with something that is giving us a tough time, we create more excuses as to why to quit than reasons we need to press on.

If we learn how to change the stories we tell ourselves to complete tasks, we can limit the excuses we give ourselves to not get something done.

I know for me, this episode is serving as a pep talk to myself to finally change the narrative in my head about working out and getting back into physical form that would allow me to find better mental focus.

Sunday Motivation: Each One, Teach One

In this week's edition of Sunday Motivation's, we revisit one of my most popular pieces of content that I created...Each One, Teach One.

I was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend but I didn't want to miss our Sunday session.

The old African proverb "Each One, Teach One", is a message that I wish to spread across the Digipreneur family. Helping our community to level up will never take away from what you do. The only way the Caribbean region is going to rebound from the pandemic is by a collective movement.

I hope you enjoy today's message.
