Overseeing the first month of a brand-new year can comes with mixed feelings. It gives us the excitement of a clean slate to restart or reinvent what we have perceived as a failure. This is tempered with apprehension; it can be a daunting process and overwhelming. We are nearly into February, how are you doing?...

Here we are already at week three of January 2024! How are you feeling? We spoke about the New Year and going into it with new intentions, being excellent until it becomes a habit. In week two, we discussed that the journey is long and requires many steps. That is why it is also important...

New Year – Week One

New Year, New Start

Ebeneezer sat there rubbing his hands with glee as the phone rang off the hook. “Hello, Ebeneezer’s taxis… name, where from, where too?” Rather than chancing their arm, people seemed to like that a taxi would turn up right on time, just for them. He also liked that he got to have minimum exchange with...
