A Personal Message To The Caribbean Diaspora
Lloyd A Vermont Sr.Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
 

This site is intended to be a ‘school without walls and without fees’. It is dedicated to the intellectual empowerment and financial enrichment of all Caribbean Peoples, at home and in the Diaspora; friends of the Caribbean, and anyone, from the four corners of the globe who, like us,  aspire for  a better standard of living. The objective is to  achieve two quality- of-life transformations through the application of our own inner resources. One is to change the quality of our lives by changing the focus of our thoughts. To facilitate this transformation, we invite you to visit our Self Actualization & Resource Centre. There, you will learn, among other things, that we are all born with all the resources we need to succeed beyond our own wildest expectation. The key resource is our imagination! And it comes standard with us at birth!! In this pursuit, we invite you to read this essay (It is Possible)

The other life changing impact is to invite, and show, how to invest in successful Caribbean Companies and thus share in the wealth that these companies are generating for their shareholders. Over the last many years, these stocks have completely outperformed many of their counterparts in North America and elsewhere and, while in investing the past is not prologue, there are no major indicators to suggest that this trend should not continue. To learn more about how you, too, can become a participant in this wealth creation process (and, it is a process and not a one-shot event like the lotto), we invite you to visit our Investor Education & Resource Centre. We also specially invite you to read this essay (The JSE Is A Winner) to give you a perspective of what investing with a long term perspective can achieve for anyone, rich or poor, who follows some well articulated investing practices.

At Transformyourselfnow Ltd (http://www.transformyourself.com.jm)  we are about Individual and Family Empowerment in the two areas of personal achievement and wealth creation. You, too, can achieve the aspiration to which you set your mind! You, too, can have the wealth you desire! If you are among the many who, despite their present achievements, (or lack thereof) want more out of life, we welcome you to the facilities at our site. With your involvement, we can help you pursue your aspirations, not by introducing any new theory of self empowerment but, by constantly reminding you of the tremendous power you already have to dream and follow your dream. In the process, we will revisit the concept of self actualization and explore ways to build your investment knowledge so that you understand the principles, strategies and nuances that drive both personal achievements and stock market investments. Go here to see our Mission Statement. (Note: Our Diaspora includes all members of CARICOM/CSME and we specially invite peoples from every geographic region of our globe who want to use our self empowering and wealth building strategies to transform their own lives. In effect, the whole world is our market)

If you have always wanted to move yourself to the next level but have not found the courage to make the first move, we are here to help you. And even if it has never occurred to you, that you, too, can become your Vision of self fulfillment and wealth, we want to introduce you to the possibility because, this is where every achievement, and every success, starts—with a thought! (See here (It is Possible!)

We know that many of you have all the skill-sets required but have not made the move because you need some hand-holding. Perhaps, many others of you may not yet have all the skills to achieve to your potential but, if you knew where to get the encouragement, you would make the effort to do so. This is where we (http//www.transformyourself.com.jm)  come in. We believe that we, at home and in the Diaspora, can rise up and conquer our mountains of doubts and fears (which are many times self imposed.) If we can find the motivation, we can float to the top like beautiful butterflies as they soar away from the shell of the pupa that formerly encased and kept them imprisoned. We want to help you to break free from ‘your pupa’ and, like the newly freed butterfly, soar to your potential.

We also believe that you, too (both of us in fact) can have all the wealth you desire to live the lifestyle of which you dream. Bernard Edmonds put it well for us. He said “To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed."

There are compelling reasons to agree with Edmonds. Great wealth is a product of our own mind and the “investing secrets” (Twenty one concepts to becoming a successful Investor) as laid down by the masters of wealth- creation. Read George S Clason’s “The Richest  Man in Babylon” To introduce you to these ‘secrets’ we have created the “Investor Education & Resource Centre and invite you to use its facilities in your quest for wealth. These facilities are in the form of Essays, which are specially written from a knowledge-transfer perspective, both for those who are new to the strategies of wealth creation as well as those who only need a refresher in how to work these strategies.

A special note to very mature readers (new addition)

We want to introduce and encourage the idea of parents, grand parents and great grand parents giving stock market investments to their children, grand children and great grand children and will deal with ‘the how’ of this here (How to make your child, grand or great grand child a multi-millionaire by age 25)

We invite you to read, and internalize these Motivational and Wealth-building Essays (over and over again) until you are moved, in fact, feel compelled, either to:

  1. Start practicing the tenets of self motivation and wealth creation, or
  2.  Re-commit yourself to, and strengthen the initiatives that you may already have started, in these two pursuits.

As Caribbean, and other peoples of the world, lets break, and throw away, the ‘pupa’ that hitherto encased and immobilized our “butterfly”. Lets transform ourselves from mostly consumers who bequeathed nothing, or very little, to our progeny. Then, let’s re-invent ourselves and invoke a new mindset that encourages us to build long term wealth for:
a) Ourselves, and
b) Our children, and their children into posterity ……..
so that together, we can raise our collective standard of living to one of the Top Ten in the world in the next one or two generations. (See also at Speaking Engagements)
