But what is it? 23 Nov 2012 08:26Unthink lately? [Maria Berrios-Carter] There is a well-known creative condition called "analysis paralysis". Fuelled by our incessant hunger for information and meaning, we have created a society too focused on the thinking and less so on the doing, overanalysing ourselves into a full stop.

The craft of simplification. 20 Nov 2012 08:27Living Your Brand Living Your Brand introduces tothePOINT Small Business Marketing Seminars [Issued by Living Your Brand] Living Your Brand will be hosting the first tothePOINT Small Business Marketing Seminar to be held in Cape Town on 10 December 2012. tothePOINT has been specifically designed for small business owners who are looking to improve their marketing efforts. 19 Nov 2012 09:48You are a unique individual - just like everyone else [John Laurence] In a passage borrowed from Columbia Business School professor, Sheen Inyengar's book, The Art of Choosing, she makes her point that although everyone believes they are unique, we are actually more alike than we think.
