🇯🇲 Hurricane Melissa –Stand Firm Jamaica 🇯🇲 | #viral #melissa  |viral Song of Hope| Charles K Xavier

As you know if you've been following me, I was in Jamaica up until the beginning of October. 

I felt grounded and at home. 

This image is eerie

It's really devastating to see over one third of the island and such a state. please do whatever you can to help.

 Donate to whatever charity or cause makes you comfortable. No amount is too small and small amounts add up very quickly to generate big results.

#Jamaica #hurricanemelissa

Digital Storyteller | Storytelling Marketing + Video for founders who think they hate content | Building brands between school runs and story time |Jamaica-made, 3 kids under 5 screaming behind me

USD $7 billion.
That’s 30% of Jamaica’s GDP.
Imagine the U.S. losing $8 trillion overnight.
That’s the scale we’re talking about.

I know everyone’s posting “Jamaica Strong” today, but strength has a price tag.

In two days, Hurricane Melissa didn’t just destroy homes, it reset an economy.
The west is still in crisis.
Entire communities in St. James, Hanover, and Westmoreland are unrecognizable.

The difference this time?
The damage isn’t abstract. It’s measurable and massive.

In Montego Bay:
→ Tourism corridors are offline.
→ Thousands of hotel workers are without income.
→ Farmers who supply those hotels have lost entire harvests.

In St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland and Trelawny:
→ Roads collapsed.
→ Livelihoods disappeared.
→ Recovery feels distant.

And in Kingston?
→ Power’s back.
→ Businesses are reopening.
→ But the cost of rebuilding will last for generations.

Let that sink in.

$7 billion gone in 48 hours.
That’s schools, bridges, businesses, farms, and futures.

Some numbers worth remembering:
→ The Caribbean emits less than 1% of global greenhouse gases.
→ Yet, climate events cost the region up to 8% of GDP every year.
→ For small nations, that means rebuilding while still paying for the last storm.

Here’s the truth:
When countries that pollute the least pay the highest price,
When resilience becomes our only export,
When “bouncing back” is treated like destiny instead of consequence

Something is deeply wrong.

But even in ruin, the stories remain the same.
A mother sweeping mud from her living room.
A child laughing in the rain.
A farmer replanting, because hope doesn’t need electricity.

That’s not charity.
That’s identity.
That’s endurance.

The real question isn’t how strong Jamaica is.
It’s how long small nations are expected to carry the weight of global negligence alone.

📝 A Personal Note: Recovery from Hurricane Melissa will require a team effort by Jamaicans at home and abroad with support from friends of Jamaica 🇯🇲  

I was in Jamaica at the end of September and beginning of October. It was wonderful to be home. I felt grounded. I left feeling refreshed and determined to find a way to spend more time there. That's why, when Hurricane Melissa struck, it was devastating. 

Fortunately, my relatives in Jamaica and Cuba are safe but Hurricane Melissa displaced many individuals and Families in southwest Jamaica.  The storm destroyed homes, wiped out farms on prime agricultural land, uprooted trees, plowed roads under, demolished historical sites, and toppled hydro and telephone towers.

Rebuilding will be a daunting task. There are many ways to contribute based on our individual talents, skills, and finances.

It has been heartwarming to see the many individuals, organizations, and countries who have been pouring out support for Jamaica at this time of need. Thank you.

I'm pleased to share an initiative spearheaded by Jamaican-born Hollywood stuntman and award-winning filmmaker Roy T. Anderson. I've showcased his work before.

Two days before the storm made landfall, Roy was in St Elizabeth for his brother's funeral. The parish became Ground Zero for Hurricane Melissa's devastation. He was still in Jamaica when Hurricane Melissa struck.
 
He returned to New Jersey on Monday night but he is flying back to Jamaica in the morning to contribute to the relief effort.

Roy and other Jamaican film and TV professionals are using their skills and resources to make a difference. Through "Let's Rebuild Jamaica Strong", they are delivering tangible aid to families and individuals in remote communities. 

Their focus is on providing meals and other desperately needed supplies. They have teamed up with a group of trades professionals who are donating their skills, time, and tools to repair and rebuild homes.

The team will document in a documentary series entitled "In the Eye Of the Storm: Jamaica Rebuilds", their work and the contributions of the many organizations who are working on the ground to assist in the recovery. 

Like Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke", it will capture the resilience and determination of people recovering from disaster.

You're invited to contribute to the GoFundMe that the team has set up to supplement their resources and extend their reach to help more people.

No contribution is too small. Even small amounts add up very quickly if enough people participate.

Business Growth Mindset

We work with highly driven top performers to create meaningful change that impact their business and life through mastering a growth mindset and implementing systems and processes that support scaling.

By applying core principles, you can eliminate many business related frustrations.  You can have great employees who share your vision, communicate with one another, demonstrate accountability and solve problems. You will not only create a business that runs seamlessly, but you will also grow your business.

This is for anyone who wants more freedom, more time and more control.

Business and Growth Advisor

We help businesses go from good to great by (structuring your "fruit salad brain", so you can see your path clearly and predictably) creating market dominating, competitor crushing strategies. We help you and your team be accountable so they can execute and deliver on time.

Most business owners succumb to three problems when running their business.

🤦‍♀️ Uncertainty and Rudderless
🤦 Stagnation
🤦🏾‍♀️ Dependency on self (key Person Risk)

These three problems lead to distraction, procrastination and confusion which means the circumstances begin to govern your outcomes when in fact it’s the decisions you make that determine your outcome not the circumstances you are in.

Having been involved in 80 ventures I discovered that failure and success leave clues. For a business to succeed and create freedom for you the owner it requires…

👉 Strategy - Focus, clarity and direction
🙋‍♀️ Performance and Results
📚 Education and Accountability

Once you master these three areas you will achieve predictable results.

We created Growth School on the countless lessons I learned along both the practitioner and academic  journey and evolved the program from the lessons learned from our clients.

Our community are empowered, caring and driven business owners.

Growth School

This is much more than a course it's an all in sales and marketing coaching program for business owners wanting to grow their business to $1M in revenue.  Customers On Demand provides you with the power of a structured, strategic approach to your business growth—one that transforms leads into revenue and revenue into long-term success.

At its core, this program is about building you a sustainable, scalable system for attracting, converting, and closing high-quality leads. It strips away your guesswork, the trial-and-error, and the feast-or-famine cycle that you struggle with, replacing it with a proven blueprint for your consistent business growth.

Key Transformations You Will Experience:

👉 Clarity Over Chaos: Instead of chasing random marketing tactics, you will learn how to implement a lead-generation system that delivers results.

👉 Control Over Revenue: By mastering sales funnels, messaging, and direct outreach, you’ll no longer rely on luck or referrals—you’ll create predictable income.

👉 Confidence in Selling: Selling will no longer feel like an awkward or pushy process for you. You will develop the skills to guide prospects seamlessly from interest to investment.

👉 A Business That Works for You: Instead of being trapped in the cycle of inconsistent cash flow, you will build a machine that generates leads and revenue—on demand.

👉 Mindset Mastery: Success isn’t just about tactics; it’s about cultivating the mindset of a leader who executes relentlessly and adapts strategically.

The ultimate value of this program is that it gives you a repeatable framework—one that, when followed and mastered, will allow you to generate leads, close more deals, and build a business that is profitable, predictable, and powerful.

It’s not just about making money—it’s about having control over your growth, your time, and your future.

DM me COD and we will send you the details.

Your productivity system is making you less productive. 🧠

You've got task lists, project management apps, calendar reminders, and sticky notes everywhere.

Yet you still feel overwhelmed, distracted, and like you're always forgetting something important.

Here's why: You're using your brain as a backup storage system for everything your "productivity tools" might miss.

Every unfinished task burns mental energy. Every "don't forget to..." steals focus from strategic thinking.

Your mind isn't RAM. Stop treating it like one.

This week's Business Life newsletter reveals why most productivity advice makes mental overload worse and how to actually free your mind for high-level work.

Because busy doesn't equal productive. Overwhelmed doesn't equal important.

How To Reduce Mental Overload And Regain Focus

A lot of business owners are a bunch of cowards when it comes to making hard choices.😤

The decisions you make govern your outcome, not the circumstances you find yourself in.💪

But we love to blame circumstances because it's convenient.

It's easier to say "the market's tough" than "I made poor choices."

It's easier to blame the economy than fix your strategy.

It's easier to point at external factors than look in the mirror.

Your circumstances are a result of your decisions. Change your decisions, change your outcomes. 

Follow + comment "SHIFT" if you're done blaming circumstances and ready to take full ownership of your business outcomes.

Spreading yourself thin is killing your business faster than any competitor. 🎯

You're chasing every opportunity, building multiple capabilities, and achieving mediocrity everywhere.

Jim Collins proved that great companies ignore 90% of opportunities and dominate ONE thing relentlessly.

In this week's Business Life newsletter, I reveal the three-circle framework that creates strategic clarity and breakthrough performance.

Want to learn how to stop being distracted by shiny objects and start dominating your niche?

Read the full newsletter below👇

I was addicted to approval, not outcomes. 💡

For years, I thought saying "yes" was the mark of a great leader.

Yes to opportunities. Yes to clients. Yes to meetings.

My calendar was full. My head was full. My energy was gone.

A mentor called me out: "Every time you say yes to something that doesn't matter, you're saying no to something that does."

That was a turning point.

Now, every decision runs through one filter: Does it move the mission forward?

If it doesn't, it's a no - no matter how shiny it looks.

Saying no isn't rejection. It's refinement. It's how you create space for the work that actually matters.

What are you saying yes to that's killing your progress?

Follow + comment "SHIFT" if you're ready to stop saying yes to everything and start focusing on what actually moves your business forward.

Three letters separate temporary setback from permanent failure. 💡

"I can't do this" versus "I can't do this YET."

One statement ends your journey. The other extends your timeline.

Here's the neuroscience behind why adding "yet" transforms your brain's response to every obstacle.

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you want to rewire your brain to see obstacles as opportunities for breakthrough.

How Yet Changes Your Approach To Challenges

You're building a business without knowing why, and it's killing your potential. 🎯 🚀

We all know we do this to make money, but there's got to be an underlying purpose behind it. That's your North Star.

Elon Musk's North Star? Colonise Mars. He knew that at age eight. Tesla is just a vehicle to colonise Mars. SpaceX is just a vehicle to colonise Mars.

When you follow Elon, you know exactly where he's going.

Without a North Star, you're just drifting. Building random businesses. Chasing whatever looks profitable.

With a North Star, every decision becomes clear.

What is your North Star? Follow + comment "Upgrade" if you want to discover your North Star and build a business with clear purpose and direction.

You're making million-pound decisions based on gut feeling. 📊

Meanwhile, your competitor is making data-driven moves that crush you every quarter.

If you can't track it, you can't improve it.

Revenue isn't a scorecard. It's a lagging indicator of decisions you made months ago.

Build your dashboard. Track leading indicators. Review weekly.

The numbers tell you the truth your team won't.

What aren't you measuring that's costing you growth?

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you want to start making data-driven decisions that actually grow your business.

The meeting that exposed my blind spot.

A few years ago, during a strategy workshop with my executive team, someone said something I'll never forget.

"Kristian, you're amazing at building strategy - but sometimes you forget we're human."

It was confronting.

They weren't talking about performance; they were talking about emotional intelligence.

I realised I'd been leading through intellect, not empathy.

I was brilliant at direction but terrible at connection.

That week, I started a new practice: every one-on-one started with one question -
"How are you really doing?"

Not the small talk. Not the metrics. The truth.

It changed everything.

Morale lifted. Retention skyrocketed. Results improved.

Emotional intelligence isn't soft.

It's the hard skill that keeps your best people from walking out the door.

Follow + comment "RISE" if you want to develop the emotional intelligence that keeps your best people and drives performance.

You're one word away from transforming every limitation into possibility. 💡

Fixed mindset people say "I can't" and close the door. 
Growth mindset people add three letters and open it back up.

The difference between people who achieve breakthrough and people who stay stuck? A simple linguistic shift that rewires how your brain processes challenge.

In this week's Business Life newsletter, I reveal the cognitive hack that separates persistent achievers from permanent quitters.

The Three-Letter Word That Transforms Your Growth Mindset

You achieved more this quarter than last year's entire year. 📈

But you didn't celebrate because you haven't hit your "big goal" yet.

Fixed mindset people require complete mastery before acknowledging achievement.

Growth mindset people celebrate progress along the way.

When you only celebrate the finish line, you ignore the hundred small wins that got you there.

Small wins generate confidence that fuels bigger attempts.

Stop waiting until you've "made it" to acknowledge how far you've come.
What progress are you ignoring because it's not "big enough" yet? 💬

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you're ready to celebrate progress and build the momentum that drives breakthrough results.

Most teams aren't misaligned because of bad people - they're misaligned because of unclear priorities.

Alignment isn't a one-time meeting; it's a weekly discipline.

If your team doesn't know the top 3 company goals, you don't have a strategy problem, you have a clarity problem.

Follow + comment "RISE" if you're ready to create clarity that aligns your team and drives execution.

Every founder goes through this evolution:

1️⃣ Doer → 2️⃣ Manager → 3️⃣ Leader → 4️⃣ Coach.

Most get stuck between 2 and 3 because they can't let go.

Your business can't grow past your ability to delegate.
