Need Few Minutes


I'm busy.  And I know it's going to get busier next weeks ahead.  As we reinvent creative ideas to the market with real difference to the existing brands and projects of  Reinvent Maldives.
 Last few days, Few weeks, months and Years I have been talking about starting my Exercise program to stay fit and healthy, Unfortunately I cant fulfill it due to laziness i get after busy hours at work.
 I need to think sharp, and in order to think Sharper and keep moving, we need some exercise, Let see if I can do it this time, since I am writing it down rather than talking about it.
 Lets see how much concerned, I myself is for health.

Developing a IT industry in Maldives


Last Few weeks was amazing, Met new Start-up IT guys with Great exciting new ideas.

I experiment a lot.  I do all sorts of things to find out what works and what doesn't work.  And due to that I always make different mistakes.At the end I just look at the Final Product and say, I have learned a lesson.

Today Reinvent Maldives is a growing company, I am faced with making tough calls & decisions. Meet New People. Apply New systems, find new way of doing things, standards and policies.  Not really to dictate everyone, But to make sure we follow the right direction.


Everything is not about money, I believe PR is very important for more socialized type of E-commerce business like us.

Here in Maldives,  most businesses consider everyone else to be  there competitors. But I don't think thats how it will works specially in the IT industry.Collaboration and sharing knowledge is very important for us to develop great products.

Since we don't have any way to get finance for a SMB Start-up.We cannot keep everything in our mind and think like Super Stars.

I think Super starts are those who share knowledge and corporate to help those valuable ideas that will come to reality, Rather than demanding for a Higher pay .
@reallynattu says ( Evaluating themself like NETGEO Photographers )

We do understand the Value of our work. But before Demanding we all need to learn and work together, to build a good portfolio and prove we deserve what we demand.

Let us all Work together and develop a Successful IT industry in Maldives. Forget about the Politics, and Stop blaming each other, let competition remain.

But we can still work together and share our ideas.

Cause we all can see it Happening at the end, We are the Future :)

We are missing that Opportunity cause, no one ever says " Hey, be an entrepreneur."

Who's right and who's wrong?


Seth Godin's latest book Linchpin is not about marketing. It is about work. Do you act as a cog in the machinery of business, or are you an artist that stand out and make things happen.

This book runs opposite to a lot of entrepreneurial startup books most notably E-Myth by Gerber, which instructs entrepreneurs to define jobs in a very detailed manner (thru job descriptions and systems) so as to be able to hire the lowest cost person for the position.

So who's right and who's wrong? I believe in both. Having beautiful (yes, beautiful is the word) systems in your organization keeps the chaos in focus relative the vision and objectives. It is the minimum, the starting point. What drives forward movements are starters, rebels, iconoclasts or in the words of Seth Godin, linchpins or artists.
If you want steady and normal growth, go ahead and create a machine and fill it with jobs. Make sure the rules are clear and go by the book.
If you want a crack at being Wildly Successful, hire the weirdos, the artists. People who see work as an opportunity to make a real difference. But do make sure there are systems and intentionally go beyond it.

Running a Business is not easy.

We started small, But it seems we are getting more popular. Recently there was a stage that we were unable to cater our customer with growing demand.

This means , we will get Complains, and Critism from few costomers as well competitors and Staffs who left us ( unhappy ) or Terminated for misbehaving.

Not a Problem at all, The Biggest and the strongest companies in the World does face the same problems every day over and over again. And Specially in the present day, with FREEDOM of Speech and the growing number of Social Media Channels , Customers are the Winners.
We learn new things everyday, and according to that we have to change our Policies. And improve how we deal with our customers and even our staffs.

Maybe our decisions are not right all the time, But we always Prioritize our customers, Value our Staffs and Vendors.

And We apply Some rules and policies to our Employees to improve our service. And it applies to everyone working for us . No matter he is a friend, related to directors or Sweet ones.
Thats, One main reason why, I keep my relatives away from the work we do, ( I don't want it  personal )

On the Next few days, We will try to figure out what are the internal problem, within our company. And how we can get full commitment from our staffs, and maybe introduce few systems which will value there hard work.

No looking Back


Had a wonderful time with my best friends in Paradise Island Resort . As usual invited me for a night.

Spent most of the time with both of them on there Upgraded Haven Suite . It was more than the Paradise, When they name the new Water Villas of the island as HAVEN. I wonder why they name it HAVEN ( a place of safety or refuge : a haven for wildlife.• an inlet providing shelter for ships or boats; a harbor or small port. ) Check on Answers .


I am back to work and we have strong targets to complete our projects asap. trying to schedule everything on a way to run our operations smoothly gaining back more trust from our customers.


If we need to survive, We have to think positive, Be responsive and be responsible for what ever we do.

Catching a Masthoothu


We call Masthoothu ( Mas -Thoo - Thu )  for Fish.

We find millions of Masthoothu in the Sea, there are different varieties and colors, some look very Beautiful, Some tastes great, and Some Taste Bitter and some are poisonous.

Normally, its hard to catch a valuable Masthoothu with bare hands, We always Run behind them, Jumping over the corals to catch them, or snorkel and dive.

They look at us, and when we look into their eyes, as if they are inviting us to catch.

I used to have different types of masthoothu, especially fresh water ones in a tank, but somehow I realized they need freedom and gave them freedom.

Do you think too much freedom, will let them take advantage of you and spoil everything?

I don’t think so, I believe they will give more productivity and make everything possible, if someone else does not catch it and put him on a tank or either eat him.

If commitment comes from Position

I have just copy pasted Definitions of our company directors, Since we have only two directors, the responsibilities will vary, The commitment and responsibilities are also different.

We do need  Managing Director, But our MD needs to do more than what mentioned below, Thinking of Creating one-more position for our MD, since he is also responsible for some of the maintenance of our websites, I think its common that one person have two Senior posts in a Company.

I just wanna see how much commitment we will get by doing this, If commitment is about the Position or is it by his own Will.

I am Responsible for.

In the field of commerce, the specialist area of business development comprises a number of techniques and responsibilities which aim at attracting new customers and at penetrating existing markets. Techniques used include:

* assessment of marketing opportunities and target markets
* intelligence gathering on customers and competitors
* generating leads for possible sales
* advising on, drafting and enforcing sales policies and processes
* follow-up sales activity
* formal proposal or presentation management and writing
* pitch and presentation rehearsals
* business model design

Business development involves evaluating a business and then realizing its full potential, using such tools as:

* marketing
* information management (sometimes conflated with knowledge management)
* customer service

A Managing Director 
A managing director or MD is a director of a company given special powers by its articles of association. In most companies, the managing director is the senior executive director, subordinate only to the chairman of the board.[1]
The MD is usually the most senior manager of the company, heading the organisation, and so may have a title such as Chief Executive Officer or CEO. This person may be responsible for the routine operation of the company or this role may be delegated to a separate Chief Operating Officer, leaving the CEO free to plan and direct the company's strategy.[2] In some Wall Street firms, such as Goldman Sachs, managing director is the second highest title after partner.[3]
The managing director is a leadership role for an organisation and the MD may fulfill a motivational role for the workforce, in addition to an operational role in the running of the business. MDs motivate and mentor members of the management team and chair meetings. The MD leads the company and develops the corporate culture for the organisation.
As the title suggests, the managing director has responsibility for the overall management of a company, including the staff, the customers, the budget, the company's assets and all other company resources to make the best use of them and increase the company's profitability.
The MD reports to the Board of Directors on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual or every decade basis to keep them informed of how the company is doing. The board will offer suggestions and ideas about how to improve the company to the Managing Director. It is the MD's responsibility to implement, improve upon or ignore these ideas.

Motivate your Team for Sucsess

"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." - Ken Olsen, President Digital Equipment, 1977

This was just 31 years ago.

You've heard it before, the rate of change now is faster than ever before. Look around you. Cellphones that can email more and more are becoming entry level, all SLR cameras I see are digital and people don't want to bring CDs, they bring their iPods.

I think to survive you need to be ready for faster, crazy times ahead.

And I thought, I need to get my team ready!!!

Presenting the Rebirth of Extreme Saturdays. Done once or twice a month, it is an invitation to the members of my team to experience something new, to challenge comfort zones, to live. A few things we did in the past: Stock Market Crash Course, How to Fire A Gun, Wine & Cheese Session, Scuba Dive Intro (Batangas), First time motorbike ride.

This weekend 14 COURAGEOUS people in the office signed up for Adidas King of the Road. Most are first timers to marathons. Most are doing 10K. I am inspired by their heart and changed my mind over the weekend... I'm upping my event to 21K.

Customer Service from a Soletrader

There are so many sole traders shops around Maldives.
Cause its one of the  low cost investment to setup in Maldives.

With approx around MRF50 to 100 Thousand Rufiyya ( USD10.000 ) you can start a local grocery store and grow rapidly.

There business is mostly targeted on the population nearby the Store and few walk in customers  passing nearby.

The main challenge they face today are.
- Offering Huge Credit to Neighbors
- Competition due to growing number of small stores.
- Large Scale Retail Outlets originated or powered by Wholesalers
- Lack of Customer service
- Unable to identify the Right Products to the consumers.
- Careless Accounting.

 Personalised service and customer attention today is very important to survive in the growing socialized economy.
I tried to check it today. Just pretending i don't have one Rufiyya from a Local store i use to shop always.And I have never taken any credit from them.
The answer i got is ( don't know when u Will bring one rufiyya )

 I got really disappointed , I just canceled my order which is 45 and they loose a 44 sales from me and also my willingness to walk into that shop again.

Who in the world will like to loose a customer with a dispute of MRF1.
Wont a favor of MRF1give them Thousands of MRF sales ?

Time is Limited - Just let it go

Time is always limited with all day routine I have, After all I can't satisfy everyone who comes around.

I just need to move on, and make changes to my work and personal life.

And just let it go. Leave it all behind.

Just remember the sweetest moments in the past and be happy, Give someone else a chance, there are many Choices and Specials Among all of them.

Let's see who read this post among those who really cares.

I am waiting with Open Arms. Lets Rock the World.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs  (Apple co-Founder, b.1955)

Funding Badhige itself

Aside from the funds to launch a business, most
businesses need additional money to finance their
growth.

Here is yet another way that Food Delivery is
different.

Our customers pay us when we  delivers their
food and then we pay the restaurant every week or two
depending on volume.

Since we are paying the restaurant after we have  been
paid, you don't have cash flow problems or need more
working capital to handle an increase in our business.

Because our delivery officers get paid from tips and the delivery
charges, they're getting paid after we have the money
from our customer too.

The only thing we  need fund now is  the distribution of menu
guides, flayers and think about how to do it inexpensively.

How many businesses do you know that can fund their
growth this way?

When we're comparing business opportunities keep this
and the other differentiators we're sharing with you
in mind.   The Badhige.com opportunity is unique
so it's important to take a good look at what separates
this business from others.
