You must be the change you want to see – NO EXCUSES! - Madi

The Book

Do you know Madi Sharma? Or know of her?  Have you heard about the phenomena known as the ‘Madi Effect’?  Have you received a ‘Commitment Bead’? When I asked around, different people gave me differing definitions of their understanding of the ‘Madi Effect’. Someone called Madi a ‘human magnet’, others said, ‘A tsunami of energy’, or ‘I carry her bead with me everywhere’, or ‘I have heard her speeches three times and I can’t wait till she speaks here again’.

I call her a wake-up call that every individual should receive at least once in their lives which is why I asked Madi if we could write a book together to empower human capital globally. And I never thought she would insist my name went on the front cover!

Sneak preview

I would not change my life with anyone else on this planet.
We all have a reserve of energy, will power and commitment, but sometimes we need to find the source of what triggers it into action.
MNE is a book about being ‘Focused’ and no matter what happens, it is about putting on the ‘Face’ that says you know what you are doing because you have an ‘Absolute Commitment’ in life.
It is not money that is the true capital in the world – It is the ideas from our brains – It is the Human Capital that we must maximize by turning ideas in to action and valuing people!
We all know there is no “I” in Team, and the “I” in MADI means: ‘I’ take responsibility for everything.
Today my point of differentiation is ME – I have understood that I am not like anyone else on the planet. I am unique. And that is the way I wish to stay!
