The SEED Manifesto |
|
| |
Lynne Franks distills the wisdom of the pioneering "SEED" handbook
into 28 simple manifesto points - values that have inspired her and can help
you to start a business with a spiritual and values-led philosophy - what she
calls "The Feminine Way" to do business.
"SEED" is a unique concept aimed primarily at women, which provides
an inspirational and practical guide to cutting through business jargon and
shattering the "glass ceiling".
Lynne says: "There is a revolution going on in the world of the
sustainable entrepreneurs, mainly women, and it's about personal growth as well
as an economic tool." Lynne believes that everyone has a potential
entrepreneur inside them and "The SEED Manifesto" should show you the
way

Raising Boys
by Steve Biddulph
|
|
| |
Every mum should read this. Every school should have a copy too! My 'must read'
of the 20th AND 21st century!! I've recommended it so many times people must be
getting bored of me by now!!
There has been much said over the years about how boys are spoilt and girls are
left behind. Quite the reverse is true today : this book helps us to understand
the man in the boy and to ensure he is given the respect and support that he
deserves!
Boys need to be parented in a different way from girls with
their own very special psychological and physical make-up. Home, society and
education have failed boys badly - and these failures lead to unhappy men who
cannot fully become, happy, responsible and emotionally confident adults. It is
essential that boys, from the age of 6-13 spend more time learning how to be
men from their fathers. Mothers if anything need to pull away at this time.
From 13 onwards a boy will need a male adult mentor figure outside his
immediate family to teach him the best way to live. Without these things boys
will turn to alcohol, drugs, despair and non-achievement and, not grow up into
feeling, responsible male adults
Fathers should start with Biddulph's 'Manhood'

boys
