Minimalist Simple Wardrobe Kindle ebook by Author Teresa Dian Chew USD4.99
Available immediately on Amazon Kindle 


The Author, as an Image Stylist encountered many women who are stressed, overwhelmed, and worst of all, feel trapped in their lives. For many years of working with clients, she has helped them simplify their lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter. Clothes are extremely difficult to declutter. That‘s why she recommended them to start with what they had accumulated in their closet over the years in a mindful way. Many were fascinated by our step-by-step guide to minimalizing their wardrobe through the first step of ‘decluttering’. It changes their lives and it dramatically gives them more freedom by having less stuff, fewer complications, and most of all, they were amazed by the emotional connection they had to their stuff. They thought decluttering is a simple task of sorting things into two piles- keep and toss. But it turned out to be much more complicated than they expected. Throughout the whole process, they continued to be fascinated by minimalism and make a few more half-hearted attempts at decluttering over the next weeks or months. Most of them were stuck going in circles and failed to make any real progress until they learned the skill of “MINDFUL DECLUTTERING”. Mindful Decluttering is the mindset change. You need to finally break free and move forward. The book provides the same approach from your new skills to your time management, meeting schedules, relationships, home, and career, and business. You will have more time, resources, money, and energy to travel and for your family or yourself.

Is your company acquiring the necessary skills for 'Customer Intimacy'?

Leaders can and must lead, but employees from all ranks of a company - from the back office and the front - must participate in the shift to CUSTOMER INTIMACY. A team spirit, and a sense of shared GOALS, must light up a company's efforts at intimacy. Teams of people working together create more excitement, more energy, more ideas, and more enthusiasm than individuals ever can. Try to imagine your own company. Think about your current position in the marketplace and your prospects for the future. What are your aspirations, your hopes, and your dreams?  Customer Intimacy offers tailored solutions to its customers. Together, the salesperson and customer sit together to commit to a shared goal.  Photo courtesy: Unsplash Lessons from the BEST Selling Companies and Brands, who specifically focus on one of the key "Value Disciplines", which is "Customer Intimacy".

How Far Is Too Far? An ethics questionnaire to help you decide.

In the business world, it is often difficult to know when our actions are ethical and when they are not. How Far is too far when faced with the ethics questionnaire? The more you compete with others for business, the more difficult it will be to decide what's ethical and what's not. Competition drives the economic system, legal system, and political system. Competition drives our society, and that means we are all pitching, all the time. Image Courtesy: Unsplash by Kelly Sikkema How far should a sales pitch actually go? As an Image cum Strategist Coach, I've found myself faced with scores of ethical dilemmas.  Here are some basic ethical principles that can help guide our decisions or help us determine whether a particular action is ethical or not.

But the converse is not true- things that must remain secret aren't necessarily unethical. Competi

Would you like a cup of coffee? You say....

Why do people like looking in the mirror? Why do people like looking in a mirror? We mostly mirror unconsciously. One of the fastest ways to create a good first impression and improve rapport is to use the mirror image. People will think you're reading their minds.  Why use the mirror image? Why do people like looking in the mirror? Ever seen a yawn become contagious? If you smile at someone, don't they smile back? Doesn't it make you feel happier?  Sometimes, we don't have to say anything or too much, or crack our heads to use any chat lines. In the initial stage, it's a sincere SMILE that makes a difference. Once you've ' broken the ice ', words become the focus. Remember a good smile is an asset in building relationships as it helps to connect. Leaders and successful business people can make very effective use of this intangible skill in improving leadership and interpersonal relationship building.  Image Credit: By Alexandr Ivanov of Pixabay You smil
