It has been a while since we visited Riverside Shopping Centre. There
have been several changes, listed in more detail below.
A new restaurant Soya Soul Restaurant, offering "Authentic Asian Fusion cuisine"
(but no website) has replaced Jintara Thai - Sushi - Dim Sum. There
is also now a Starbucks.
Upstairs, around half the shops have changed. There's a new, strangely-named day
spa, VanQuish-Me. Also, the intriguing Veronica Anderson Jewellery (by
appointment only, Dearie, we need to keep the riff-raff out). And a friendly
kitchen and cupboard shop, Graylag & Co.
The former Riverside Fruit and Flowers has shrunk to a florist only, probably
due to the competition from Woolworths. The glorious patisserie, Chateau
Gateaux, is still there. As are the other two restaurants (Riverside Café, and
Hello Tomato Italian restaurant). The Secret Room (a shop so secret its
former version had no entrance!) and Candice Berman fine Art Gallery survive.
The quaint Granny Goose duvets is now online only.
Although I hardly ever go into them (shame on me) it is good to see art
galleries keeping going. Thomarts Gallery moved a while ago from Morningside to
Modderfontein, but a new gallery opened recently in Morning Glen Mall.

Do You
Use Excel? Making Mistakes is Easy!
Finding errors is hard! But they can
kill your company! In 2012, a London Olympics employee accidentally
typed in “20,000” instead of “10,000". The Olympic Committee
then sold 10,000 tickets for non-existent seats at minor events. They had to upgrade them to major events
—at a loss.

Inspiration: Why Should We Fail More Often?
Our friend and mentor, Peter Carruthers, writes:
If you aren't reading
Seth Godin each morning, please consider doing so.
His email today about how many projects Google kills is sobering reading.
More than once a month, they shut down a business that frightened the
competition and seduced consumers. That's part of the recipe for becoming an
unbeatable behemoth.
Fail a lot.
Most of us fear
failure
so much that we don't even start. We want to start with
a perfect solution. That cannot happen because
perfect is a concept,
not a reality.
I am the product of many more failures than successes. Nothing I ever did was
perfect.
Yet everything I failed at led to something better.
The only failure in life is to give up trying.
In my humble option.
Last week I created a bundle of training covering everything you need to prosper
in business in SA.
-
More prospects.
-
More sales.
-
Better structures.
-
POPI Compliance.
I also added training on the
exact process I use to earn the online income which has
allowed me to live in England, Norway, Spain, and Canada. Online income lets you
live anywhere.
One of the students who started last week already has her course and sales page
set up.
Each of the courses in this bundle results from lots of failures you won't have
to endure.
