By: Kmar Henry          CEO   │  BIZ care   Consultation & Accounting Firm Date: December 27, 2017 ‘Why can’t I do this easily, yet my business is so small?’ Whilst it might be in the minds of most entrepreneurs, many have found it rather difficult to transcend this very aspect within the culture of their businesses. Well, the answer lies in taking that very same vision that you have of where you want your business to go and implementing it at the forefront of your  business culture .     As entrepreneurs, we can all agree that we know exactly what we want from our businesses, but how do we get our employees and customers to see and   emulate  these very same images of how we want to operate? How do we implement the right  culture  to ensure that we are always poised to jump these  financial hurdles  that will come? Well, the answer is right within the concept of writing that infl...

By: Kmar Henry Edited By: Xavier Campbell │ Reinard Bryan │ Anthonio James Date: August 17, 2017 Let's take a trip into the intricacies that we as the male gender are forced to accept from birth as norms. We all know some of them right? “No crying Johnny you're a man!” Or 'Jimmy if she leaves you nuh bawl my yute remember man a gangsta!” Or let’s even consider the perspective of the man as the breadwinner and the stereotypes that accompany this notion “Delroy remember you have to be the head of the household, and if that means you have to be broke every month, while your wife spends money on a new hairdo and buy expensive clothes, while you save nothing, you just have to.” It is an intriguing thought that as males we are left on the forefront to bear the burden of responsibility and societal pressures, which were passed down from our ancestors for generations.
