EDITOR'S LETTER

Dear Readers,

March is here with the 87th edition of MBE Business Magazine

Not only was February 2nd, Ground Hog day, the whole month seemed to be Ground Hog month when compared to January. Unseasonably mild temperatures and very little snow highlighted January and February which are supposed to be the cruelest and coldest months of the year. For someone like myself who didn’t believe in Global Warming, I am now having second thoughts.

As we turn the calendar to March, spring is just around the corner. You know winter is pretty well over when baseball starts it spring training and basketball and hockey are in their respective stretch drives before the playoffs begin.

Four significant days in March are daylight savings time, St Patrick’s Day, First day of spring and the beginning of Ramadan.

Daylight Savings Time begins every year on the 2nd Sunday of March. At 2:00 A.M. (est) Sunday morning (Saturday night) on March 12th, the opposite of what we did in October, we do in March. The clocks are turned ahead one hour providing us with an additional hour of daylight. Although we lose an hour of sleep, we now have longer days of sunlight.

St Patrick’s Day falls on March 17th to honour the Patron Saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. He played a significant role in introducing and celebrating the Irish culture across the world. The most notable tradition that has lasted over the years is the tradition of wearing "green". Many pubs, bars, and restaurants host parties, or have special offers to honor the day.

March 20th is the first official day of spring (spring equinox). It happens every year usually on March 20 (some years it can take place on March 19 or 21), and it is the day that marks the beginning of spring. Although we may get the occasional winter storm, with warmer temperatures, it usually doesn’t take long for the snow to melt.

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, a holy month for Muslims, who fast, pray and practice introspection during this time. In 2023, Ramadan begins on March 22 and ends on April 20 with the celebration of Eid.

Ramadan is a time for Muslims to practice introspection and better themselves, by practicing self-discipline and control, as well as a time to strengthen their faith and devotion. This is why fasting is practiced during Ramadan, as it is believed to cleanse the soul, and redirect the heart away from worldly sins and into spiritual improvement.

In this issue, you will find contributing articles from many different personalities including the management team of MBE - Mr. Mansoor Naqvi, Mr. Mahmood Naqvi and Mr. Alamdar Hussain

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ‘IS IT AN HONOUR TO BE A WOMAN?’

Women hold a very prestigious & symbolic value in our lives. In our every day lives, women play many different roles and all are important. It could be your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend or your wife who is your soul mate and life partner. You can't live without the ladies & their love; your life is meaningless & aimless.

Just imagine the role of a mother in your life. The woman who gave birth to you, provided you nourishment when you were weak and gave you strength by providing you food.

WOMAN AS A MOTHER IN YOUR LIFE:

The role of a woman as a mother is surely the most important. She is the one who helped you take that first step or picked you up when you were down. She is the real woman in your life who builds your personality & also gives you the consciousness between what's good for you & what's bad. She is the first institution that developed in your mind the difference between the good & the bad.

Many people say to me that we don't have respect or we lack respect for women. I tell them that's because you don't respect them. First, you need to give respect and then in return, you will be given the proper respect whether in your role as a son, a brother, a father, a friend and lastly, as a husband. If you give the woman the desired respect, she won't let you have your meal yourself. She would, in fact, insist too much deeper regarding feeding you by hand herself. It is something with the psychology of a woman who loves when given due respect. Now after giving due respect, just imagine the role of a woman in your life, i.e. so much evident in so many forms.

Just see the enjoyment of all these relationships. A woman

like your mother makes you feel so luxurious & so overwhelmed. You feel so peaceful when you are with your mother & feel so valued & blessed by God. Can you deny the love of your mother, who cared for you when you were just a little toddler?

WOMAN IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A SISTER:

A woman as a sister in your relationship is just adorable as your home is complete with your sister. Your home is found to be incomplete when there is no sister in your home & the environment is just so lonely & isolated. Your home doesn't even look organized as your sister in your home makes your home so organized & makes you feel the comfort of the home.

You should imagine the height of the relationship, i.e., your relationship with your sister.

THE ROLE OF A WOMAN AS YOUR DAUGHTER:

Now comes the role of a woman as a daughter. Someone who takes good care of you. You just can't imagine the depth of a woman's role as a daughter and how she is always there to lend a helping hand for both parents, and fathers usually have a closer relationship with their daughters compared to their sons.

Most of you who have sons might have experienced how sons are so different from daughters. Once they are married, they tend to migrate towards their wife's side of the family. On the other hand, the daughter's role is to nurture their parents with intense care & with extreme humbleness. A daughter shares with her parents when they go through any pain and agony. You just need to imagine how big of a blessing the daughter is while being a shadow of her parents.

05 MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM

Just before moving towards the relationship as a wife. First, I would first like to acknowledge that in all three relationships, i.e. mother, sister & daughter, the common thing & the element that binds the relationship together is love, love and pure love. In all these three relationships, you have given love. Therefore, you have been given love in return. In fact, in all these three relationships, you have given something & that's why you got something back in return. In all these three relationships, you have done a partnership & you have shared your good self with them. It's a belief that you make your life a curse once you get married. You just can't compare these three relationship & compare that with your wife.

THE RELATIONSHIP & ROLE OF A WOMAN AS YOUR WIFE:

Now comes the relationship, which is your life partner, i.e. your wife or your soulmate. You just want to take rather than give, which is wrong. You want money from your wife as soon as you get married to her. You also want money from her while she earns money. You also want her to work round-the-clock in your home as well & provide her responsibilities as a homemaker. You want her to raise your kids, which is the most important thing.

You, as a husband, only want from your wife & you don't want to give anything to her. Just treat your wife differently, apart from the other three relationships: mother, sister & daughter.

THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE- 'DIGNITY & RESPECT FOR WOMEN IN ALL ROLES:

I just salute all the women. They just need respect and above all, respect. It's the sole responsibility of a man as a thinker that the way you think for your mother, sister & daughter, think similarly full of affection for your wife. If we think the same for our wife as we think for our other three relationships, i.e. same power & same liberties, surely you will enjoy the relationship to a maximum. You will enjoy the true essence of a husband-wife relationship.

I hope I have succeeded in trying to convey a very important message when it comes to the dignity and worth of a women's respect. My dear friends, if you give respect to women, the entire system of your family will improve. If you give her liberty, the overall family system will be worthwhile. You can surely bring better means of bread & butter to your home. These little tips are like Gold to you in your life.

THE GROWTH FACTOR

How Good Is This Current Market for Investments from Both the Investors & Consumer Perspective?

As we all know, the Canadian Real Estate market is currently undergoing chaos regarding whether people must buy or sell. Undoubtedly, the market is currently undergoing a confused state & people's decision is overshadowed due to the market's unexpected behaviours. This confusion, regarded as inflation or recession, is obviously causing some disturbances regarding the investor's buying & selling decisions.

THE INTEREST RATES ARE ON A HIGH:

The main issue is that the interest rate is high. Due to increased interest rates, the affordability levels of people have become low, i.e. they can't afford the buying decision. On the other hand, if we see at the buying market, the prices have been reduced by a significant margin, i.e. 30 % to 40% reductions. The property that was $1.7M now is easily available to people in $1.1 M, range especially

those who are property experts who have a know-how of the same, i.e. properties ups & downs.

It's not easy to earn $6000 after tax dollars in this country as most of us know, it's hard! How can someone spend their whole $6K on a mortgage? There are other living expenses for those who can afford $6K for the mortgage. He might also afford a good car. Therefore, the person should earn $10K after tax

07 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023

deductions to afford a $6K mortgage amount. However, in Canada, only a few people can earn a net income of $10K, i.e. after tax deductions.

We need to see more closely how to manage such a scenario best. The most important thing we need to see concerns our cash flow which will enable us to make a decision on whether we are first time buyer of an investor.

EXAMPLE OF A CASE SCENARIO:

Let's take an example: we looked at a home in the month of Jan. for $1.7M and now it's worth is $1.2M, i.e. we have a savings of $500,000. In January, the mortgage amount was $4K. Now it's $6K, i.e. $2K is the increased net expense. The market conditions, i.e., inflation or recession, will stay there for more years. Some experts say that it will be fine till the end of this month, while other experts have a different opinion & they think it will stay like this till the mid of 2024.

It will stay like this for two years, as one must take precautions and think in the long run.

The $2000 we pay extra each month, adds up to $24K for the year and for the two years, it will be $48K. Let's say that the growth doesn't happen according to my circumstances. If you research as everyone does regarding recession periods, you will see for yourself, i.e. all the property recessions you have seen in the past have a 3% to 5% growth rate. I am talking about the recession period in 2008, whether 2018 or 2022. Eventually, the market comes back as it has the tendency to come back & it improves according to previous market trends.

WHAT'S THE BEST ADVICE?

As an investor, you should make a 200% investment, as it's a very good

market & if you won't invest now, when will you do it? People who fail don't do their math & don't do their calculations, which is very wrong, as they are more speculative.

Think like an investor, as an investor must think in the long run and think with a big heart. All you need is the right people, the right guidance, the right locations and enough capital to back you. Finally, the desired cash flow is always a plus.

If you can't cover the gap, you don't have to do it. If you can cover the gaps, 100% it's advisable to buy this time. Manage your cash flows, make buying decisions, & according to my expert advice, it's preferable to invest & in 2025, you shall earn money with the market with good returns.

AS AN INVESTOR:

The Mansoor Naqvi Team & The Royal LePage has the experience of 18 years in business together and we are experts with seven offices and 150+ agents working with one window operation. We provide all sorts of advice, including mortgage and inspections as well as home solutions to renovations & we do construction advice as well as we believe in teamwork.

Work with knowledgeable and experienced professionals, obviously, as decisions regarding homes are big decisions. Don't go to someone new. I am not discouraging new agents in the market or demotivating them. All I am doing is asking for the best & most professional guidance.

In our brokerage, you shall be getting consistent support & training with us, and you will be getting good leads. In a nutshell, it's a powerhouse system that we are running. Our support is for both the agent and the buyer.

CONSUMER'S PERSPECTIVE- 'THE FIRST-TIME BUYER’:

For the first-time buyer, it's a big decision. Don't get tentative, as everyone wants a big home equipped with a big kitchen. Just make the decisions according to your cash flow & your earnings. Your affordability is very important as a first-time buyer. A decision to invest more & not according to your earning will bother you later.

In a state of confusion, most people prefer not to buy. Instead, they make a decision to rent. It's also not advisable as they pay their equity to someone else. At least, buy a condo or a small home which is advisable according to your monthly cash flow. Do some calculations and some math & take the advice of experts & those who have been in the market for a long time.

We shall give you the best support & guidance & you will benefit from this.

REACHING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL & GET SUCCESS EVERYDAY

Getting success is not a piece of cake; it demands that you work at your full potential every day to gain success every day. As they say, No Pain, No Gain. There is simply nothing that you can gain in this world without taking the pain for it. Pain, indeed, means that the hard work you have done, your manipulations, your calculations & all your efforts are a huge necessity for the sake of reaching your potential. Working at full potential needs the necessary planning you need to get there. Every target is initially a dream in your mind; unless you get to that

target & that should be your objective or your most wanted goal.

What exactly do we mean by full potential? It’s a notion for some people; for others, it’s their perception. However, for some, it can be their creative mindset. However, full potential is indeed the knowledge & abilities that you have gained over the years while studying & working in different local or multinational organizations. Your full potential needs to be nurtured every day & you need to plan your key agendas in line with your full potential.

Always be aware of your strengths rather than your weaknesses.

Your Strengths Are More Important Than Your Weaknesses:

While discovering your true potential, it’s important to realize that your strengths are more important than your weaknesses. Keep analyzing them in the light of many other things. You don’t need to hide your weaknesses. However, you should be aware of them as they can hinder you while you are on the quest for your true potential. When you can show the

09 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023

important to ignore your regrets & make decisions for the future. Future decision-making means true business & brainstorming for success rather than focusing on your regrets, failures or things you have been unable to attain or achieve.

Whatever we have accomplished in the University needs to be practically dealt with outside the institution's gates. An institution is just a guide & the certificate you have achieved is a passport for entry into your desirable organization. However, the decisions you need to make in your practical life are the ultimate ones for your agendas in life. Be more practical & careful while you make big decisions & for other decisions, you need to have a future vision.

Take The Challenge With A Fresh Perspective:

Always take the day & the challenge of a new day with a fresh perspective & a new strategy. You don’t have to recall your hard times. You need to think positively & recall the good times. Your best accomplishments are associated with your work & what you did to gain the advantage over your competitors, how you took a challenging task with ease & what strategy you devised to take that challenge.

A fresh perspective is a huge ingredient for success, as success comes with loads of striving & lots of strategies behind it. Don’t have to assume that you have done enough.

dimensions to reach your maximum potential. You need to bring enhancements in your creativity & diversity in your thinking in terms of how you can get closer to success every day. Keep in mind your potential, your abilities & your strategy to accomplish your vision. A vision is not just regarded as days & months. A vision is for a period of 6 months and can be a year or two years. Expand your vision with the help of creativity, which can later transform into goals for your success.

It can be hard to achieve success every day while trying to reach your full potential. However, your consistent approach & your rationale can make it possible easily & every time. It’s not a hard & fast rule. Rather it’s something which you can mix & match for flexible results. At the end of the day, what matters is how you keep getting closer to your goals of success. This is irrespective of the pattern that you have taken to get to your goals. Your sense of achievement & acknowledgement is the litmus that you have worked hard for your goals & shown the right energy to get to your potential. Keep the spirits high every day, as every day is a new day, with fresh challenges that needs working on.

TESLA ISN’T THE FUTURE OF

Mercedes are growing rapidly in Europe eclipsing Tesla in some countries, while Chinese brand BYD has started to outsell the company in China, a key market.

With deadlines for the end of sales of gas powered cars approaching, the electric car is shifting from futuristic specialty item to commodity.

That’s great news for the future of electrification, but it makes Tesla’s aim of differentiation much harder, particularly as its advantage of a proprietary supercharger network gets eroded by growing investment in charging infrastructure.

If it’s not worrying Elon Musk, it’s not showing: he told staff just last month to ignore stock price fluctuations and repeated his assertion that Tesla would go on to become the most valuable company in the world.

But it’s hard to see how Tesla might reach those grand ambitions.

For one, Tesla’s competitors are only at the beginning of their electric vehicle (EV) transition. If another company such as VW, beats Tesla to a car priced more for the mass market, then Tesla will struggle to maintain its huge lead, especially if the expected economic downturn comes to pass and buyers shy away from Tesla’s expensive lineup.

More broadly, Tesla’s huge valuation and the idea that it would utterly dominate was always based on the idea that

Yet, both that dream and the genius of Muck seem far more dubious than they once did. Autonomous driving is a far harder problem than anyone realized, and Musk’s promises of “full self-driving” remain unfulfilled. Tesla’s solar roof tiles never really materialized and the focus on clean energy has all but dissipated.

Meanwhile, Musk’s tenure at Twitter, to make no mention of his tweets, has seriously undermined his reputation as a brilliant visionary. And this is all to say nothing of a growing movement casting doubt on the very idea that a car-centric lifestyle represents the future at all.

Yes, it’s true, in many markets, Tesla still vastly outsells its EV competitors and Tesla customer satisfaction remains the highest in the industry.

Yet even that isn’t a recipe for a world changing company or one that might usurp Apple or Exxon. Rather, it’s simply a model for a car company, a fine one, even a successful one, but just a car company all the same.

MASSIVE LAYOFFS AT GOOGLE EXPOSE FIRM’S UGLY SIDE

Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, is the latest tech giant to announce significant layoffs.

In a memo, which was sent last month to fellow “Googlers,” CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company will let 12,000 employees go. This is equivalent to about 6% of its worldwide workforce.

The magnitude of the layoffs is puzzling given the fact that the company is extremely profitable. According to most recent financial

data, for the past 12 months, revenue stood at $282 billion (U.S.) and net income at $67 billion.

The company sits on mountains of cash- it has $116 billion in its bank account and is spending around $60 billion annually on share buybacks, a practice which helps inflate its share price.

Moreover, just six months ago, during the 3rd quarter of 2022, Google was on a hiring spree, adding 12,000 new jobs. Hence, the explanation Pichai provided

in his memo – “we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today” – is unconvincing, especially since he also highlighted the exciting opportunities the company is facing in the future, mostly in the AI (artificial intelligence) space.

A more likely explanation is that the axe was the result of pressure from Wall Street to deliver even better financial results. For example, in November, TCI, an activist hedge fund, with a $6 billion stake in the company, sent a letter to Pichai arguing that

14 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023

Alphabet “has too many employees and the cost per employee is too high … (it) needs to take aggressive action. In a second letter, dated Jan. 20, 2023 – after the layoffs were announced – TCI’s fund manager, Christopher Hohn, writes to Pichai and the board of directors: “I have appreciated our recent dialogue concerning Alphabet’s cost base. I am encouraged to see that you are now taking some action to right size Alphabet’s cost base.” Yet, Hohn argues that additional layoffs are required for a total of 20% of the company’s head count.

But independent of whether the layoffs were due to bad planning on the company’s part or in response to pressure from investors and analysts, it’s the brutality in which the company executed them that really stands out.

“I appear to have been let go via an automated account deactivation at 3 am this morning” Justin Moore, an engineering manager who worked at Google for 16 years, wrote on LinkedIn. Moore must have been pretty good at his job if he kept it for so long in a competitive firm like Google. Yet, none of this mattered. Many other employees shared similar stories of being fired “electronically” in the middle of the night –“Elon Musk style.”

Less than a week after announcing disappointing 4th quarter results, Google has started trimming jobs in Canada as well. The job cuts, which are part of a 12,000 person downsizing announced in January, began to take effect last month, company spokesperson Lauren Skelly confirmed via email.

While Skelly wouldn’t comment on the size or location of the cuts in Canada, it appeared that many of the job losses were in the Kitchener Waterloo area and involved people who had worked on the company’s now shuttered cloud based video game service, Stadia, judging by postings on LinkedIn and other social media sites.

Within days of Pichai’s announcement, Google shared that it would close the Edmonton office owned by its artificial intelligence subsidiary DeepMind. The U.K. headquartered subsidiary plans to consolidate its remaining operations, but maintain its Montreal and Toronto offices, which are located within Google managed buildings

There is no doubt that rolling out mass layoffs at a large, multinational corporation like Google is extremely difficult and carries its own risks. Laid off employees can look for revenge, steal data, etc. Yet, “unplugged” employees who spent their entire careers with the company in the middle of the night, is as cruel as it gets.

This is all the more depressing when it occurs at a company whose mottos for the longest time have been “don’t do evil” and “do the right thing.”

Here is a short quote from Google’s old code of conduct where the company elaborates on the motto of “don’t do evil”: “Trust and mutual respect among employees and users are the foundation of our success, and are something we need to earn every day.” It feels like a joke in today’s context. Why was it so urgent for CEO Sundar Pinchai – who received total compensation on $294.3 million over the past three years – to fire 12,000 people now when the company has $116 billion in cash?

Couldn’t the CEO who brags about how a “healthy disregard for the impossible is core to our culture” come up with a better solution?

Maybe give employees who underperform a warning first? How about an overall pay cut across the board of say, 5%? (The median salary at Google is about $300,000.) That would have resulted in similar payroll savings and all employees could have kept their jobs

Hedge fund managers may be thrilled by the cost cutting at Google, but the destruction of trust it entailed could backfire. Googlers (as well as Amzonians, Metamates, etc.) will realize that no one really cares about them. They might work a bit harder for fear of being next on the chopping block, but their hearts are already elsewhere.

And when the time is right, they will be opportunistic themselves and walk out the door.

Human and/or Animal: The Morals, Ethics and Responsibilities of the Highly Intelligent - Part Three

Continuing with thoughts on whether highly intelligent Humans have developed this intelligence or was it an attribute Nature arbitrarily provided.

Improvements to Binary Politics

We’ve lost the idea that politics are part of the humanities.” (Martha Craven Nussbaum) Just witness political debates! And understanding, “[…] politics is always about moral questions” (Leon Richard Kass, 1988)

“[I] warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally […] it serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration.” (George Washington, 1732-1799)

Many Western Countries are effectively Two-Party Democracies. Leading to Binary Elections – voting ‘Out’ or ‘In’, making it much easier for the Wealthy and Powerful to control the outcome; and influencing many not to vote. For instance, in Canada: Liberals or Conservatives, in the United States: Republicans or Democrats, in the United Kingdom: Labour or Conservatives have formed each Government over the past 10 plus Elections.

Current Binary Politics bypasses ‘Classical Democracy’. Replaced by ‘Political Party Theory’, where most Voters have insignificant input, in either, their representative or the Political Platform.

A theoretically intelligent Human who automatically votes 100 % of the time for one party (and its entire platform) over another party (and their platform), may be bringing that intelligence into question!

Adding NOTA (None of the Above) to Elections

“[…] if people have a reason to vote, if their vote is going to make a difference, then they will vote.” (Arturo Madrid) Rather straight forward!

“Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.” (Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862) Humans, especially HIs, must communicate their thoughts!

“It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”

(Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, 1452-1519)

Purportedly in a Democracy, one Eligible Person gets one Vote, and if that Person does not accept any of the ballot suggestions, a mechanism is needed to register their displeasure, as a Vote. Following Leonardo’s advice; to record your resistance at the onset!

The 2016 U.S. Presidential Election had 251 million eligible voters, of which 135 million did vote (Clinton 65 million – 26 %, Trump 63 – 25 %, and others 7 – 3 %). Therefore 116 million (46 %, almost equal to Clinton and Trump combined) were considered to have not voted. These folks did indeed Vote by Not-Voting! With a two-year Presidential Campaign period and billions spent on marketing and communication there could not have been many Americans (perhaps none) unaware of the Presidential Candidates; confirming they Voted by Not-Voting. But these 116 million potential votes were not recorded. But could easily have been marked in the ballot area “NOTA”; thereby, having have a significant impact on whom should be presented as a Candidate: avoiding necessary follow-up Elections.

“He stops voting in elections he knows are a farce. […] His revolt is an attempt to live within the truth.” (Vaclav Havel)

Oxford English Dictionary – Democracy: “[…] control of an organization or group by the majority of its members” and “the practice or principles of social equality.”

“The poor have been rebels but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government; the poor man really has a stake in the country.” (Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936)

Increase Separation to include State, Church and Business

“The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.” (Walter Bagehot, 1826-1877)

“In a society without social justice and with free-market ideology, guns, greed, and jails are bound to win.” (Freeman John Dyson) Best described by the US!

“States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.” (Avram Noam Chomsky) Citizens should be in control!

“Quite simply: corporations are not ethical. That is they are not meant to be ethical. They are meant to be self-interested.” (John Ralston Saul)

“Democracy clearly is at odds with corporate structures and power that are unaccountable and unresponsive.” (Sheldon Sanford Wolin, 1988)

“The superior man understands righteousness; the inferior man understands profit.” (Confucius, c.551-c.479 BCE) Why should the inferior man dominate?

Sparta (seventh century BCE): “[…] where commerce was prohibited because it supported softness and inequality; […]” (Benjamin R. Barber and Patrick Watson, 1988)

“Democracy is also a single ideology, and like all such templates, it has its limits. What works, in a legislature might not work in a corporation.” (Fareed Rafiq Zakaria) State and Business are disparate institutions!

Today Business has more, or at least equal, domination over Society than the Church exercised in the past (pre-separation). Just as 4,200 or so Religions are allowed to operate independent of Government (in most countries), Businesses can also function separately (but adhering to the laws and regulations set by the State, as Religions do).

Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov is, “[…] quite aware of the monstrous relations in human and international affairs brought forth by the egotistical principle of capital when it is not under pressure from socialist and progressive forces.” Separation of Church and State (Wikipedia): “[…] is a philosophic and jurisprudential concept for defining political distance in the relationship between religious organizations and the nation state.” We must now determine an acceptable unbiased political distance for businesses (especially very large corporations) from the nation state.

Moving the needle one more notch, we can separate the business community from direct entanglement with the Government (as with the spiritual communities); separating human demands from Business Demands: Profits and Market Values. Individual citizens could be assured just laws and regulations will be established by the State, allowing the Church and Business to collaborate with Humanity.

John Kenneth Galbraith in 1987 put forth; “The great dialectic in our time is not, as anciently and by some still supposed, between capital and labor; it is between economic enterprise and the state.” Essential HI discussion obligatory!

The intently studied Jean-Jacque Rousseau in 1762 accentuates: “[…] one unique and absolute arrangement of government would not be proper for every State, but that there can be as many governments different in nature as there are States of degrees of greatness.” Rousseau continued emphasizing over 250 years ago; governments are required to be entrenched to resolve the predicament arising within a money-based society. In 2022 we are headed in a misguided direction!

“The one thing we have become sure of is that there is no consensus on what democracy is or what it requires.”

(Benjamin R. Barber and Patrick Watson, 1988)

Adam Smith considered the father of economics, in his The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) was well aware; it is easier to operate a business than to manage the affairs of the individual: “The man of the system […] seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chess-board. He does not consider that in the great chess-board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own.”

“[…] but believe me it is better to understand the balance-sheet of one’s life than of the corn trade.” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca 4 BCE – 65 AD)

18 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023

“When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals.” (John Maynard Keynes, 1883-1946)

“The best things in life really are free! Love, knowledge, art, music, literature, community have no bottom line.” (Daniel Joseph Boorstin)

Finally, an intriguing comparison with 1800: “The 200 or so corporations […] operating in the US by the year 1800 were each kept on a fairly short leash. They weren’t allowed to participate in the political process. They couldn’t buy stock in other corporations. And if one of them acted improperly the consequences were severe.” (Kalle Lasn) It is time to impede the Business Sector and get on with ‘Reversal’ objectives!

“We need genius, however envious or uncomfortable it makes many among us.” (Harold Bloom) To enhance both: the lives of Mankind and the entire Biosphere.

“That is the wisdom of the past, for all wisdom is not new wisdom.” (Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, 1874-1965)

“All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1832)

“All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882)

“[…] but that may be the paramount use of past geniuses; we have to adapt them to our place and our time, if we are to be enlightened or inspired by them.” (Harold Bloom)

“When the stakes are very high you have to try, even if you cannot say you will probably succeed.” (Julian Baggini) And the ‘Stakes’ could not be more decisive!

If Democratic Elections are actively influenced by either or both Money and Unacceptable Candidates; then we will continue with our ‘Hypocrisy’ and will not have Democracy! “It is so convenient to be immature! If I have a book to have understanding in place of me, a spiritual adviser to have a conscience for me, a doctor to judge my diet for me, and so on. I need not make any efforts at all. I need not think, so long as I can pay; others will soon enough take the tiresome job over for me.” (Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: ‘What is Enlightenment?’ – 1784)

“Ethical ideas and sentiments have to be considered as parts of the phenomena of life at large. We have to deal with man as a product of evolution, with society as a product of evolution, and with moral phenomena as products of evolution.” (Herbert Spencer, 1820-1903) And with HIs as a product of evolution.

CANADA’S HOSPITALITY & TOURISM INDUSTRY MAKES A GLOBAL BOUNCE BACK

Canada’s Hospitality & Tourism Industry has made a global bounce back from the Global crisis after years of recovery. It is a fact that one of the pillars of the economy is the hospitality & Tourism sector. Canada has huge dependencies on the Hospitality & Tourism sector, which has been a fact in terms of the statistics, i.e. the revenues generated.

The country is a dynamic multicultural atmosphere that will definitely & surely make you feel at home. Canada offers world-class hospitality

and a balanced mix of traditional & progressive cultures that radiates across the country.

Leading the list of many nations that are advancing fast in terms of rich tourism values. These values depend on many things in the Hospitality & Tourism Sector in Canada.

THE PRE-PANDEMIC INDUSTRY NUMBERS:

In terms of the Pre-pandemic industry numbers, the tourism industry generated an estimated $105 billion in Tourism expenditures

and offered a huge contribution of an estimated $44 billion in the country’s GDP, i.e. Gross Domestic Product in the year 2019. The year of the pandemic, although in most parts of the world, it was officially declared in March 2020. In Canada, although the impacts in terms of deaths were lesser, they started in the year 2019. However, its effects on the Tourism sector from abroad affected the hospitality & Tourism Industry to a much deeper extent. These are stats according to Destination Canada, a Tourism Industry organization which

22 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023
DMM DEPARTMENT MB Enterprises

is for the sake of promoting & maintaining Tourism in Canada to increase the number of Tourists coming to Canada on an annual basis. Approximately 34 Million international Trips to the country were made official in the same year.

EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC ON THE HOSPITALITY & TOURISM SECTOR IN CANADA:

The hospitality sector in Canada is deeply linked with the Tourism industry for some ironic reasons. Like Europe, North America is blessed with the values of natural beauty. A reason that attracts the annual figures is to generate revenues dedicated to the Tourism Industry. A reason which is indeed one of the most valid ones. Secondly, the exhibitions & conferences are taking place in Canada on an annual basis for the sake of promotions and increasing the values that relate to the Tourism sector.

The effects were seen globally, but in Canada, according to Statistics Canada, the effects were more obvious in terms of the number of jobs that were lost. In just 2020, the job losses that the Tourism sector faced increased to almost 30.5% annually. Due to the lockdown that was announced earlier in the year 2020, there were many people whose movements were restricted by the effects of the pandemic & the most obvious effect being the national-level lockdown that took place as an announcement earlier in the year. Canada and the rest of the world struggled to keep up with the sudden adjustments.

Apart from the job losses in the Tourism Industry, the merged sectors were also deeply affected, which includes the losses the Airlines faced as well as the hotel & hospitality sector that lost the key influences for almost a couple of years.

HOW WAS CANADA ABLE TO MAKE A GLOBAL BOUNCE BACK?

With the ease in the restrictions, that was found to gradually increase. A huge increase was seen in Canadians' confidence levels in 2022, which has moved forward to 2023. This is an improvement as compared to the shakiness in the confidence levels that were caused due to the fluctuations because of the pandemic.

Canada’s bounce back owes strictly to following the laws that are mainly termed the laws of the pandemic. These are related to social gatherings, social distancing laws being followed, wearing masks regularly & later on regards to being vaccinated Post-pandemic.

The slow process that the Govt. of Canada adopted in their 13 Provinces & Territories simply to bounce back to their original numbers is just amazing to see as a recovery mode in Canada. It calls for one of the best recoveries in a crisis that

was declared a Global crisis. A scenario that was alarming in terms of the results all over the world & declared by Canada as a national crisis that Canada needed to fight back against.

The role of the leadership, i.e. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau & all the relevant Premier of their Provinces, which included Doug Ford (Premier-Ontario) in the bounce-back process, owes plenty to the efforts of the Canadian Govt. i.e. both Federal & Provincial. A major step by the Govt. of Canada includes the allocation of up to $72 million for the sake of supporting the industry through the sectoral incentives program, also known as SIP. This is an initiative that aims to strengthen the hospitality & Tourism workforce across all kinds of people.

Canada is a far more secure country in 2023, especially in terms of the Tourism & Hospitality Industry due to a fast recovery rate. A bounce back was expected, but not as fast as it was achieved with the help of public awareness & Govt. efforts to improve things on a far more rapid basis. Canada’s immigration sector has also played a decent role that is high in terms of reducing the impacts of the pandemic on global Tourism in Canada.

HOW OBESITY RELATES TO CULTURE & FOOD HABITS?

There is a very dynamic & unique relationship between Obesity with culture & food habits. It's the relationship of a country with their food habits & the culture & trends of eating that is a massive cause of Obesity which means Obesity measured at the national level. This is to in the form of an average BMI, i.e. Body Mass Index or some kind of stats that reveals the number of people that are falling in the range of obese regards to different obesity levels. Obesity levels are divided into Obesity Level 1, Obesity Level 2 & finally, Obesity Level 3.

Canada & USA are countries where eating habits are highly dependent on

their cultural significance & food habits. A culture of fast Food which is very dominant all across the North American sub-continent, obviously is massively found in America, precisely, US & Canada. In general, when we say Americans, we forget the Canadians, who are the biggest nation w.r.t. the area significance in the massive North American Continent.

There are a number of fast food brands that have originated from North America, precisely the United States. Yes, we are talking about some famous brands, which include McDonald's & KFC, that originated in the United States. KFC is obviously a

MB Enterprises

brand that serves Chicken known as Kentucky Fried Chicken & originated from the place itself known as Kentucky. It's a State in the US & as a matter of fact, in the modern world, the State got its popularity due to the huge popularity that was gained by KFC, i.e. Kentucky Fried Chicken.

SOME STATS THAT PROVE FACTS THAT RELATE TO THE AMERICAN CULTURE:

It is since the early 1960s that the overall obesity rate amongst American men & women has more than doubled. This is largely due to the trends of eating that have moved at a fast rate toward the culture of fast Food. This is as of 2010, some 12

24 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023
DMM DEPARTMENT

years from today, when almost a huge 75%, i.e. 74.68% to be exact, weighed overweight, obese or extremely obese. It is considered by many health experts all over the world as a huge weight crisis of epidemic proportions. A crisis that relates heavily to a culture of Food & non-healthy food habits.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF KFC & MACDONALDS:

McDonald's, The Multinational Fast Food Chain, was founded in California in San Bernardino 82 years ago. The MNCs & Fast Food chain is now all over the world as a major fast food franchise that originated in the United States. Obviously, this reflects the eating habits & trends of Americans that are highly inclined toward Fast Food.

The word 'Fast Food' was added gradually to the American dictionary due to the nature of rich & busy Americans who just wanted to pop into the restaurant for a fast lunch or just wanted to have a snack 'On the way.' Contributions of a culture of Fast Food are towards Sustainability that relates to environmental Sustainability, green practices, green culture and at the same time, stats that relates to being overweight or obese. However, with respect to the levels of popularity of MacDonald's as a food brand, there is nobody who has even been close to them. 'Americans Just love Their Food,' a popular phrase that deeply shows that there are plenty of Americans that are actually missing the balance that they need to meet between Healthy Food In-Take & Over-eating.

KFC is yet another Fast Food brand, which was founded even a decade before Mac Donald's. The brand is now a symbolic Chicken brand all over the world and is an MNC which has competed with MacDonald's in the sector of Fast Food restaurants. The brand KFC opened its first Franchise in the

year 1952 in Utah, USA, and since then, they have Franchise that meets the same standards all over the world. The contributions are massively and similar towards all areas in the corporate sector. However, KFC is also heavily contributing to America's eating habits that are highly obese.

THE MOVEMENT TOWARD OBESITY IS HIGHLY UNHEALTHY:

Since 2010 the trends have not declined but increased from 74.68% to 82% & the increase in the percentage is faster than anywhere in the world. Obviously, owing to the culture that North America has maintained regard to increased levels of Obesity.

Obesity is a major issue or a concern which owes plenty to cultural influences & family history. As a family history, if having heavy inclinations towards food habits that are obese, then it is something that has a higher probability of people getting more obese. A little excess weight is not a problem, as research has shown that some extra body fat may be protective against death & disease and even against death from heart disease. In contrast, Italy & some of the European countries like the UK has a culture of healthy food habits & controlled diet. A healthy eating environment demonstrates that both countries have very few Obese, highly Obese & overweight concerns. A culture of exercise & diet maintenance while having the consciousness to look good & appealing is predominantly found in Europe as compared to North America. Especially in the two countries UK & Italy where people prefer healthy diet patterns, especially a light sandwich diet at work. Food trends & a country's culture owe plenty in terms of creating an unhealthy & an obese environment.

MISTAKES THAT YOU NEED TO AVOID WHILE STARTING AN ATM BUSINESS

Certain mistakes need to be avoided while starting an ATM Business. A profitable business needs some precautions to avoid vital errors or mistakes. These can even be errors of judgements, errors in calculations & finally, errors in the form of misunderstanding. For instance, you might have been thinking the other way about something & in the end, what's right is what you have avoided. Make sure to make mistakes when it's a worthwhile investment on the stake & your client or the customers are looking for the best results.

An ATM business is indeed a sustainable business, but it needs the element of sustainability to minimize the risks. It's the risk factor that needs to be minimized. To

attain safety levels while investing in the ATM business, some business owners end up in a riskier scenario in the quest to minimize the risks.

There needs to be a formal guide to the dos & don'ts in the ATM industry. However, the sector is blessed to have many entrepreneurs as players. This is apart from the many other stakeholders in the Industry. An industry which is really at pace in Canada & without any doubt, in the neighbouring USA. They have been the pioneers in the Industry, which is now a part of the finance sector. The dos & Don'ts vary from entrepreneurs & business owners to other entrepreneurs & business owners. More precisely, it relates to personal experiences with the

investments done in the ATM sector on an experimental basis.

So here are the most common mistakes that need to be avoided while starting an ATM business;

AN OVERESTIMATED CASHFLOW:

Don't estimate the cash flow or profits with the ATM that seems to be on the higher side. It's best to stay a bit low with the estimated cash flow & do some cold calling to increase your business flow and marketing tactics & if you need more investments, to increase the monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, two-weekly or daily cash flows.

26 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023
DIGITAL MEDIA MARKETING MB Enterprises

As a new owner that is a fresh entrant in the ATM business, your initial focus should be monthly cash flows & later, when your sales have increased. The levels of cash flows can be judged when you breakdown the term into two-weekly & later weekly for more profitable concerns. Be active always with what needs to be done to increase the cash flows. However, don't make the mistake of overestimating the cash flows. Over-estimation creates a misunderstanding & increases your expectations which is wrong.

PURCHASE OF USED EQUIPMENT:

This is a decision you won't find in the books or a user manual or guide for an ATM business. However, with personal experience, it has been proved that purchasing used equipment is not always profitable or worth it. If you have enough capital to make the right investments, you prefer to invest in brand-new equipment with a warranty for, say, two years or five years. In this desirable period, the equipment can either be replaced in the form of damage claims or something wrong with the equipment technically.

On the other hand, if you lack the amount, you need to invest in brand-new equipment. It's preferable to take the risk with used equipment. However, for used equipment also, prefer brands that stand out from the crowd.

Sounds appealing, but you have to be cautious, so be a safe player & avoid investing in used equipment.

MAKE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:

A good understanding of the capital requirements is a mandatory thing. For this, you need to take prior knowledge of the ATM industry & why the ATM business is profitable. You will surely need cash to load the machines on a rotating business. For example, you should count on at least $2,250 per week per terminal as a good investor.

AVOID POOR GEOGRAPHY- 'Be More Accurate With Locations':

Make sure you don't spread your locations too far from your home base or each other. For the selection of territory, you need to be wiser than those who are blunt while choosing the geography of their locations. After choosing a territory, be more particular that you stick to the location. Locations being closer than your home base or company base surely decreases transportation and other administrative costs.

IGNORING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BANK:

It might be the biggest mistake of your life to avoid making good relationships with your bank. You must always keep in touch with your bank or the locally recommended banks and

make sure that they can support the needs of your ATM business.

Many banks don't provide full support at particular times of the year, i.e. their support is seasonal. Ensure your bank provides the support needed to make your ATM business more sustainable.

As the bak is the 'Root of the money,' & therefore, you need to put the needed water in the roots for the sake of your business growth, i.e. in the ATM industry. An industry that is more technical than what it looks like initially.

MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO KEEP UP TO YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

A New Year’s resolution holds the most vital elements of motivation, courage, and growth for an individual and a company. However, it can be really hard to stick to the New Year’s resolution for the sake of consistent growth & this relates to psychological strategies that can help you stick to your goals. For entrepreneurs, the New Year’s resolution relates to key growth strategies that fuel their momentum of success for the rest of the year. That momentum of success is then carried forward to the next year to gain the most effective results with the New Year’s resolution.

It would help if you wrote out a detailed plan & be very realistic & specific with your resolution. As a serious follower of a New Year’s

resolution, you must not create two or three plans. It’s wise to stick to one plan strictly & create self-awareness of your practices daily. If you are new to New Year’s resolutions, you should ask for support from your loved ones.

TRY NEW GOALS EVERY YEAR:

To motivate yourself so that you strictly stick to your plan, you must try new goals every year. Trying out new goals will benefit you for the sake of your personal development and expand your vision in your career development plans.

IT HELPS YOU IN YOUR MOMENTUM OF SUCCESS:

A new year’s resolution helps you in your momentum of success in many diverse ways. It creates a journey in

your mind that you need to carry on in the next year for your future goals & agendas.

A momentum always helps in creating the right energies for your goals and helping you move forward in your most important mission of success. Your aim while you make a new year’s resolution should be to relate to your goals & your agendas strictly. Never compromise on your agendas so that your success momentum doesn’t get bothered.

PUT TIME INTO PLANNING:

Put time into planning & make a detailed plan which will help you in your agendas for the whole year. Creating a detailed written plan will help you stick to your most important

28 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023

goals. Why is this stage so critical for success? This stage sums up the importance of time & planning as you will know what you want & how much time you need. You will have a well-structured & well- written plan & this will help you jot down many things together to achieve your goals. On the contrary, if you start working towards a goal without any plan in place. Ironically, you will face obstacles, setbacks & resistance in the form of challenges.

BE VERY REALISTIC & SPECIFIC WITH YOUR PLANS:

As a self-motivator, you have to be very realistic & specific with your plans. You can’t plan to open an enterprise if you don’t have the capital for such a substantial investment. Stop daydreaming & be a visionary for your goals of success. Just highlight in the form of points what you can achieve realistically. At the same time, you have to be very specific with your agendas to achieve what you have highlighted in the form of goals.

Being realistic & specific adds to the motivation part & helps in sticking to your plans. How come is this effective? The effectiveness is purely in the goals being realistic, as it will make you far more closely, appreciably towards realism. For example, you are planning a long journey of at least 4 hours of continuous driving, & you have just fueled your car for 2

hours of fuel, irrespective of the miles. Obviously, we are still dealing with the same, i.e., continuous journey of two hours. This would surely lead to an obstruction as you might have to stop somewhere in the middle for the sake of refueling your car. Similarly, as you have planned in your new year’s resolution, you have to take actions in similar ways. Otherwise, you might lack the motivation & the commitment to get hold of your New Year’s plan.

FOCUS ON ONE GOAL AT A TIME:

Focusing on one goal at a time or achieving one small goal can actually boost your belief in yourself. For the sake of larger goals just consider breaking them apart into manageable chunks. Just for the sake of working on one at a time. According to APA or American Psychological Association who suggests that focusing on just one behavior at a time is more likely to lead to long-term success.

You can find more effective ways to achieve success with your New Year’s Resolution. However, what’s important is that you stick to the initial plan. Planning has been a key part of success, whether it’s your entrepreneurial or business goals. Alternatively, your personal goals or career goals. Finally, your momentum of success will benefit you; if you are able to maintain wisely the energy to achieve your goals.

RELATIONSHIP MARKETING & ITS VITALITY FOR CUSTOMER RETENTION

MB Enterprises

Relationship marketing is an enormous vitality for the sake of customer retention, especially at a time when many businesses have moved online. Building strong & trusted relationships has never been more important. The customers don’t just want to be sold; in fact, they want to be valued. Customers feel good if they are given the desired preferences that they have always been looking for. The true power of relationship marketing comes from making long & healthy relationships with the customers that can be termed as plenty at the end of the day. Relationships count just like money counts, & are a huge basis for a long-lasting client-customer relationship.

The goodwill values created via the most intelligent &

business owners. It’s not like a fruit market stall in the Market in City Centre where you need to ask the price of the fruit & do some negotiations before making a final deal. It’s far more creative & the central idea is making the customer your number 1 customer via signifying your brand intelligence.

Whether your team is running inbound customer service or outbound, irrespective, the relationship marketing will make sure that customers feel valued. Naturally, not every customer is the same, as some don’t care unless they are satisfied with what is being delivered. However, the more sensitive ones make themselves feel the difference.

DMM DEPARTMENT

IT’S A SOURCE OF A BETTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE:

Companies following the principles & practices of relationship marketing are a huge source of a better customer experience. It ensures that the overall customer journey is a journey of success for both & holds elements of affection, especially for the businesses. The gratitude level of the business reps. It is indeed a label that the company believes in the values of relationship marketing. Seek to improve your existing systems and ways of handling customer queries and interactions. Particularly the customer service agents were handling the calls.

Consider how your call Centre could help improve the overall experience. Also, look deeply into the overall social media presence and whether you could be more responsive towards your customers.

RELATIONSHIP MARKETING SETS YOU APART FROM THE COMPETITION:

Relationship marketing sets you apart, making you larger than the competition itself. It doesn’t make you think how much your company is getting burdened in terms of the expenses of relationship marketing. Importantly, your aim is the customer, as ‘the customer is always right.’ Customer loyalty is what you are looking at, which desirably means you are after the big picture.

In relationship marketing, you will be marketing based on the customer needs & preferences. The customers are most likely to be attracted to your offering & feel like you value them. It’s a very reliable & most desirable value chain.

A PROCESS THAT FOSTERS TRUST & LOYALTY:

Relationship marketing is a dynamic process that fosters trust & loyalty in the minds of the customers. It is obviously an attraction for potential customers in terms of creating rich values.

Remembering customers’ birthdays, sending them a birthday or wedding anniversary gift or giving them a discount deal specifically on their big day is a huge source of giving customers the value they need. Alternatively, something closer in terms of the values they have been looking for. Your interactions & engagement with customers regularly will foster trust & loyalty. Thus, it will make them more likely to continue buying the products.

MAKES THE CUSTOMERS GIVE REGULAR FEEDBACKS:

Relationship marketing makes the person give regular feedback regarding their experiences regarding products & services. This is due to a relationship, a bond of affection &

an urge to let the business know areas where they can improve. Also, customer feedback is purely part of the customer’s initiative to make the brand a living legend.

Thus, this ownership created is known as customer ownership & it is quite similar to employee ownership values. The ones who are highly passionate about their brand & their very own products. They don’t think they are just the customers of the company. They believe that they are a key part of the company.

IT HELPS IN GAINING A BETTER CONSUMER’S UNDERSTANDING:

Relationship marketing might not be your permanent strategy for growth & relationship management. However, it can be adopted as a short-term strategy to find out or understand the consumers in a better way. Reading the minds of consumers is indeed not an easy job. At the same time, relationship marketing makes it easier in a way that it makes half the job done at least. Ironically, it helps understand what the consumers want, especially from the services rather than the products.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY & ITS OBSERVANCE

IN CANADA- ‘MARCH 17th, 2023’

DIGITAL MEDIA MARKETING MB Enterprises

St. Patrick's Day is observed on the 17th of March every year & is a holy day for Christians worldwide. It is a celebration in Canada in 12 Provinces & territories of Canada, while in Newfoundland & Labrador, it is a public holiday in memory of the Patron Saint of Ireland. Yes, St. Patrick was the patron St. Of Ireland, and Ireland is now an independent country, while Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom. The gorgeous country with the capital city Dublin was the home of the religious Saint with a history dedicated to him.

ST. PATRICK- 'The Patron Saint of Ireland':

St. Patrick was the son of a minor local official in Roman Britain. When he was a child, he was a moderate follower & worshipper of the religion. However, it was later in the history books when he was captured by the Irish & later escaped from their custody. Then, he started to take religion as a serious affair & devoted himself to Christianity. His devotion to Christianity was way beyond many & something that made him a preacher of the beautiful religion. There was a dream that St. Patrick saw,

and according to the dream, he was commanded to return to Ireland for the sake of helping the Irish people find Christianity.

The impact of his preaching was slow, but slowly & gradually, it was much evident in the Irish people. He gained followers and openly started his preaching to the Irish public. It was because of his efforts for the people & the religion of Christianity that the Irish started accepting Christianity & it soon became the dominant religion in Ireland.

MBE BUSINESS MAGAZINE MARCH 2023 32 WWW.MBEFORYOU.COM

WHY ST. PATRICK'S DAY IS A CELEBRATION:

The day's celebrations originated in Ireland, a gorgeous country in Europe. Most of these celebrations were religious, but it's a bank holiday & a public holiday only in Newfoundland & Labrador province. The rest of the provinces & territories follow the day as an observation in memory of the great Saint.

As the Irish immigrants started to arrive in Canada, they brought their culture & traditions with them. As part of these customs, culture & traditions is the feast of the Patron Saint of Ireland, which these Irish immigrants just injected into the Canadian norms & cultural practices. These norms & practices are still evident & are now a part of Canadian's cultural practices. Therefore, the St. Patrick's Day feast on the 17th of March every year is a key part of the culture & practices introduced by the Irish people in Canada.

People love it not only as part of the feast, a celebration & a get-to-gather but also as a key part of their religious authority & supremacy. As well all know, Canada is a multicultural country with many different religions that are worshipped simultaneously. It soon, in Canada, became a symbol of an Irish identity rather than more of a religious festival. Just like Christmas, also known as Xmas, Eid for Muslims & Diwali for Hindus. Today people from different religions & backgrounds in Canada celebrate the day as part of their religious traditions.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY- 'SOME COMMON SYMBOLS ASSOCIATED':

Some common symbols are associated with St. Patrick's Day as the day brings joy to be together apart from just religious symbolization & motivations. The colour green is a very common symbol celebrated on the day & makes everything go green. It's not about environmental friendliness, & ‘Going Green’. However, it's the significance of the colour with St. Patrick's Day. Greenery everywhere also is heavenly or related to heaven & this is why it is associated with St. Patrick's Day, which makes you closer to religion & closer to heaven. The other few symbols also include the Shamrock & Leprechauns.

Shamrock is one of the most common symbols you will see during Saint Patrick's Day. It's a three-leaf clover symbolizing both St. Patrick's Day & Ireland as a whole. According to the traditions that are mainly Irish, it's the Shamrock that St. Patrick used to explain the concept behind the Trinity which is indeed a fundamental Christian concept.

The colour green is a symbol that also symbolizes Irish nationalism. According to a patriotic poet, 'the whole world is Irish on the 17th of March'.

HOW THE DAY IS A CELEBRATION IN CANADA:

On St. Patrick's Day, some parades take place in Montreal. These are the annual parades that take place in Montreal, Quebec. It's an almost three to four-hour parade on the streets of Montreal and makes huge crowds gather on the streets. The happenings of the day events cover live performers, marching bands, and many people dressed up in costumes to join the parade.

Every Saint Day is important in terms of the religious following of the day & contributions of the Saint to Christianity. However, St. Patrick's Day is not only religiously related to Ireland but has values of patriotism for the great nation of Ireland. The feast of the day on the 17th of March is indeed a massive celebration for the people of Ireland & so it is for the many Canadians who celebrate the day with equal passion.

INTEGRATED TALECH

THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) OF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES

The Return on Investment or ROI of a Sustainable business is different from that of a new business & the main reason is behind the advantage that sustainability gives to a particular business. Something which comes with time, as sustainability & corporate intelligence can't be achieved in a matter of days or even months. These are two things that are merged for mutual results.

The customers, the employees, the partners, the communities, the shareholders & many other stakeholders all benefit from a commitment to sustainable business practices which seek to protect the planet. Secondly, treat the employees with respect and community engagement highly positively. A positive ROI & Sustainability go hand-in-hand, as many sustainable business practices save lots of money. This is apart from creating a competitive advantage, opening up new markets as well as attracting customers & the employees.

HOW SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE A SOURCE OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?

Sustainable business practices are a substantial source of

competitive advantage. An advantage that helps in the long run for the sake of a company's growth & its vision. CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility values are a significant part of sustainable business practices. Especially for the sake of creating a competitive edge & the desired competitive advantage.

These business practices include creating corporate values and environmental best practices, which include recycling, green practices & many other sustainable practices for the sake of creating a culture of sustainability & green practices. Waste Management practices are part of the environmental sustainability practices in an organization. A massive question that you need to ask yourself is, when did you last analyze your waste expenses? Have you trained your employees & made them aware of ways to reduce the costs involved in waste management?

At the end of the day, all these practices, while creating goodwill, also help in taking a competitive advantage.

THE FINANCIAL RISK OF NOT BEING SUSTAINABLE:

Lacking sustainability in these current times is a huge source of creating financial risks. There is significant company risk in not being sustainable, both to the planet & also to the businesses. Climate change has been linked to carbon emissions, yet another reason for businesses to change due to the natural issues that include COVID-19, which has created a huge disturbance all around the globe. For these reasons & similar ones like COVID-19, a business strategy that includes sustainability is key to building resilience, improving the profits & finally reducing the risks. The later part, i.e. the risk reduction strategies, is summed-up to be the most vital part indeed.

INCREASING THE ROI VIA SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS:

Increasing the Return on Investment (ROI) via sustainable supply chains is an active part of most companies' agendas. In fact, there are some companies whose preferences are to do business only with sustainable companies. Even if the requirement is not a formal one for a company, today's vendor selection processes often include sustainability & corporate social responsibility as a vital part of the decision criteria. Not being sustainable & green certified may actually become a cause of a business loss as well as loss of customers at the same time. Simply winning a few large contracts based on your sustainability can pay for your investment in sustainability.

customers & competitive differentiation. As part of the improved reputation benefits, the companies that are greener or green companies tend to be perceived as more ethical, reliable & highly responsible.

Green businesses will surely introduce new customers & new clients. Especially the consumers and companies who seek out sustainable businesses, products & services.

Next, it's competitive differentiation, which is a huge sustainable benefit. It allows you to stand out when competing for business. In fact, it's common today to see requests for proposals, also called RFPs requiring sustainability information from competing vendors bidding on a contract.

Finally, it's the elevated brand, as nothing is more important for you than your brand, off-course. Letting the people know that your businesses care about the environment & society will surely associate "GOOD" with your brand. Apart from this, it will also improve your brand identity.

All these theories obviously deduce that it's better not to take financial risks due to lacking sustainability practices. Most companies, especially new ones & multinationals, regard these practices as 'Best Practices.' The best practices have a role to play in the vision of the company that revolves heavily, or one must revolve heavily, around 'Sustainable business practices.' Links heavily with the modern theories of green marketing &
