If you are running a business, you are now competing with everybody on the globe.    No matter if you offer services or products, your competition is no longer only in Jamaica.   You are now competing with China, India, the US, and the EU. So you better have a gameplan.   Join us on this live stream where we talk about the effects on the Jamaican economy and how you can plan a sustainable long term strategy.

Answering questions about finance, business, and marketing.

How do you protect your assets and generate a return in every market situation?   There are some things we just cannot foresee.  In finance, we call these events Black Swan.  And although there will always be events that cause the markets to fall, with the right strategy, you can minimize these effects on your portfolio.   In a 1991 study, Gary P. Brinson, Brian D. Singer, and Gilbert L Beebower determined that over 90% of long-term investment volatility came from decisions about one’s asset allocation – NOT timing the market or stock picking.   In this live stream, Simon will talk about Asset Allocation and how it can help you to build long term wealth.

Rule #1: Don't lose Money   Rule #2: Don't forget Rule #1   Rule #3: Generate a Return  An ISIN can help you to prevent violating Rule #1.

"Simon, is this a good investment?"  One of the questions that I heard a lot over the years.    And as so often in life: it depends.   But today I will give you an easy tool that you can use to analyze almost every financial product or investment you will encounter in the future.  And it will enable you to answer the question, if it is the right solution for you, by yourself.

Let's make a thought experiment:   Let's assume that, when Jesus was born, Joseph, as a responsible and longsighted father went to the bank of Jerusalem and put 1 penny into a savings account.    He negotiated well and got a yearly interest rate of 5%.  If he would not have touched the money, how much money would he have today?   In this live stream, Simon will give you the answer to this question and explain the power of compound interest.

If 2020 showed one thing, it's the fact that we need to start thinking strategically and more long-term.   Managing your finances, personal, and business is key.   In this live stream, we share how you can start taking your finances into your own hands.

Yes, if you work and live in Jamaica, you probably should not invest the majority of your money in Jamaican stocks or real estate in Jamaica itself.   In this live stream, Simon explains why that is the case.    He explains why this kind of strategy can be a big risk and why diversification should play a big role in your long-term strategy.

2020 had its challenges for every one of us.  Join us in this live stream and let's talk about 2020.   What worked for you? What didn't work? Did you learn something in all that chaos?   What are your plans for 2021?

Join us for this fireside chat about Subscription Models, Messenger AI, Marketing, and Life, with Dan Gamito.   He is a B2B SaaS Product, Marketing, and Customer Success leader based out of the greater Seattle area in beautiful Washington state.  For most of the last ten years, he helped early-stage startup founders build great SaaS companies. VC sometimes introduces him as a "co-founder for hire."   His most recent project was ManyChat (http://manychat.com), and he led the growth strategy there. On top of his growth duties, he worked closely with several teams at Facebook to ensure the product met their high expectations.    As the first marketer on the team, he helped ManyChat scale from ~1,200 users to more than 750,000 (three-quarters of a million) users in less than two years, all whilst maintaining substantial profitability.   The effectiveness of the customer acquisition strategies he employed baffled even the most seasoned growth leaders. This astonishing growth enabled ManyChat to raise an $18Million Series A from Bessemer Venture Capital in April 2019 https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/29/manychat-series-a/   Previously, he was the Director of Customer Success and founding marketer at ConvertKit (http://convertkit.com) from about 60 customers ($1300 MRR) to 2,000+ customers ($140,000+ MRR).
