A person’s life is measured by how their time is spent, and a good life can be measured by whether the events that make up your life are congruent with your purpose and vision.

For many people, that’s where life gets complicated. Time goes by slowly when we are doing mundane tasks (even if beneficial to our long-term vision) but time goes swiftly by when we are enjoying our tasks, doing something we are already good at or stressed.

Whatever state you’re in, remember, that you have the power to CONTROL TIME, by ensuring that every day of your life is spent engaged in tasks taking you closer to your long-term purpose and vision or towards a more balanced life.

So, if you are pursuing your purpose and vision, and your destination feels eternities away, employ tenacity in those moments when you feel like giving up, so, that when you’ve accomplished your life’s dream and purpose or are otherwise fulfilled, you may pass on your wealth or wisdom to the next generation, thereby, making the world a better place to live in starting with you.

You Can Own A Successful Business If You Refuse To Give Up On Your Desires.

“I fear nothing but to let your meaningless words scare me away from my desires.”- Mary Shelley.

Have you ever questioned whether you have what it takes to succeed? Do you feel like your aspirations are impossible to achieve? Today, we identify one trait possessed
by all successful people by looking at the inspiring life of Mary Shelley, the female author of Frankenstein, an enduring work of English Fiction, exploring many themes, one of which is creation.

It is widely believed that the novel Frankenstein, inspired by the life of its author was created, despite, existing societal restrictions, at the time of the book’s writing viewing women as incapable of writing works of enduring fiction or producing works capable of generating significant revenue.

“I Fear Nothing but to let your meaningless words scare me away from my desires,” spoken by Mary Shelley in the Haifaa-Al Mansour directed movie, Mary Shelley presently streaming on Netflix, depicts the author’s life leading up to the publication of her most enduring work and reflects Mary Shelley’s unwavering desire to write a work of fiction that “chilled the reader to the bone,” and the many obstacles she overcame to achieve that aim.

The difficulties experienced by Mary Shelley prior to the publication of her greatest work, shaped her perspective in that the monster created by Frankenstein reflected the author’s dissatisfaction with the societal norms existing at the time that she lived and provided her resounding commentary on the subject.

Therefore, the one trait that we believe that all successful people possess is the desire to achieve a definite aim.

In the comments below, we will provide a link to the trailer of the film Mary Shelley.

Let us know if you’ve seen the film and or if you agree with us that the path to success starts with your desires.

You’re destined for so much.

Having access to multiple investment options doesn’t mean that they’re all good ones. It’s important to select the ones that specifically match your needs and goals.

Mutual funds, Money Market Funds, Business, Venture Capitals and even the security of Savings can all be great investment vehicles that provide the financial stability you crave, but what is it that makes them individually right for you?

It is common knowledge that investing wisely can allow you to achieve your financial goals sooner compared to traditional saving due to the compound effect.

As a business owner, I continuously strive to invest in ventures based on personal conviction. I invest only in areas of interest and opportunities that align with my long term pursuits.I can attest to the fulfilling feeling when I witness income generated from simply having a practical investment policy.

Let us identify avenues that can be used to supplement your income.

You are a by-product of your decisions and it is your responsibility to make decisions that align with your desires.

Are you or someone you know involved in a family dispute over land or property?

Family disputes over property that is still in the name of a deceased relative can be very challenging to navigate.

It can lead to a very hostile environment as relatives try to determine:

What to do with the property?
Who has the right to control the property?
Who is entitled to benefit from the property?

Answering these questions can bring peace to a sometimes unbearable and stressful situation.

Hiring a suitably qualified legal professional can assist you in resolving this conflict.

Did you know:

- An estate plan is a proven tool that can effectively transfer wealth/ assets to surviving relatives and reduce the likelihood of any asset disputes
- An estate plan is also an effective tool that can quickly convert an asset into cash since title to the property is easily traced.
- An estate plan saves you from being forced to cohabitate with persons whom you are unable to peacefully coexist when the asset is a house.

Protect your own quality of life and also the quality of life of your loved ones by actively taking steps to prepare an estate plan.

Professionally Prepared Contracts prove more beneficial than self help.

Entrepreneurs and Businesses benefit from appointing and retaining legal counsel to advise and aid in wise decision making during the lifespan of their business venture. One way that Attorneys are useful is in the preparation of contracts for any agreements and or partnership opportunities that the business entity or entrepreneur pursues.

Contracts can be oral or written but written contracts are more beneficial than oral contracts since they outline obligations and responsibilities for all parties involved in its formation.

Written contracts can be extremely beneficial in many circumstances:
- When establishing agreements for product creation, distribution and the provision of services;
- During the process of buying, selling or exchanging assets such as cars, equipment, houses, land etc and
- When obtaining seed capital from investors for a business venture.

Instructing an Attorney to create written contracts fosters the creation of legal rights and remedies suitable to one’s unique circumstance, typically, resulting in faster enforcement through the Judicial System where breaches of terms established in written contracts exist, as the absence of an Attorney’s input often results in obligations and responsibilities being less clearly defined.

Grant of Letters of Administration

A document that authorizes an individual to handle the assets of someone who dies without creating a will.

It is a type of grant of representation issued to the closest surviving relative or next of kin of the deceased when there is no will.
It is also granted in cases where the appointed executor of a will is unable to fulfill the role.

In the event of someone dying without a will, an Attorney at law/ legal professional should be consulted to ensure applicability for the filing of this type of application at the Probate Registry.

In order to effectively safeguard the assets of the deceased when there is no will present, a grant of letters of administration is useful.

Failure to obtain a grant of letters of administration for cases that qualify can result in the property/ assets of the deceased being acquired by the State or persons unintended by the deceased.

Grant of representation - Probate

A grant of representation can take many forms. Where a will is involved, the grant of representation required is a Grant of Probate.

This document confirms the identity of the executor of a person’s will and that person’s right to deal with the assets of the Deceased as outlined in the will.

Probate applications are made when an original will is available and it is used to pronounce that a will is valid and authentic by formal application to the Probate Registry prepared by an Attorney at Law.
