2019 was a year of awakening and reinvention for many people across the Caribbean. This was the year where the landscape for employment changed and the effects were felt. You see, around the world we have seen the closure of businesses that have been around for over 50 years, businesses that we could have never seen throw in the towel, did!

That finally started to happen in Trinidad and to stave off closure, many of them have need to retrench workers and change course.

All of this has set the stage for the public to start looking at entrepreneurship by force. There is a bit of desperation in the air and that has sounded the alarm for coaches in every field to come out and begin trying to lead the lost to the promised land. I believe that people are starting to realize that it is easier to sell the blueprint on building a business than to actually build a business themselves.

This past week, there was quite a bit of workshops happening all over the country, as it was Global Entrepreneurship Week. Judging by the pictures I have seen so far, it looked like everybody got their intended turn out. For me, I decided that my offering would be an open forum on Online Business in Trinidad & Tobago. Allowing all attendees to ask as many questions as they wanted to me and Cassia Marina. I also got to throw Lyndon Braithwaite and Devon X Scott on the spot with questions into their niche.

But as 2019 comes to a close, I have really taken a look at some of the messages the universe has been sending me over the past couple of weeks and I really must say, 2019 has been the year of self-discovery.

I have met so many new faces over the past couple of weeks and everybody has been talking about figuring themselves out and trying to carve out their niches. Wanting to learn more about getting their messaging right and how to go about building the components to increase their brand presence and how to start building their online business.

If you have been following me for some time or if this is the very first blog of mine that you are checking out…You will know that I am the Captain of Team #NoFluff lol. I try to keep all of my content practical, relevant and relatable. With that said, sometimes you scroll through social media and you come across content that is all fluff and no substance but the comments section has me asking myself a particular question for some time now…Can you spot value or fluff?

This topic has been coming up almost every day for the past few months because now more people are realizing the power of social media and what “showing up” every day with an opinion can potentially do for them.

The Digital Age continues to open up opportunities for everyone, once you understand the climate we are in. Making money today is much much easier than you think but one of the best ways to get started making money in the Digital Age…is well…digital products. There are many reasons why everyone should be thinking about what digital products they can build but I want to give you the top 5 reasons to build digital products.

If you have no idea how to go about building your digital products or what would be considered a digital product, allow me to give you a few examples of what they are. However, if you want to learn how to go about building them, that will definitely be something I will be aiming to help you do in 2020.
