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:
Start practicing the tenets of self motivation
and wealth creation, or
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)
