Each new year brings with it the gift of opportunity for a fresh perspective on life. Have you decided to get physically fit this year? How about financially? How are you doing toward saving for the future? Many banks offer you a whopping 0.01% interest rate on your savings account. Some may offer 1 to maybe 2% interest, but even that isn't keeping pace with inflation, which translates to: Your dollar today won't be worth a dollar in the future as inflation increases. Want to learn about ways to diversify your savings through investing so that your earnings outpace inflation? How does a money market that pays an average of 5% per year sound instead of that .01% you're probably getting at the moment? While there are no guarantees on return, a well-diversified portfolio can both protect you from inflation and help your money grow. I would love to talk with you and help you create a plan. Call me!

Here’s to a great New Year! Reach out and let’s talk about your 2025 Financial goals.

2024 marked a monumental leap forward for biologit. biologit MLM-AI, and the newly launched biologit Database solidified their positions as industry leaders. Exceeding the milestone of 100 enterprise licenses was not just a testament to our technological excellence but also a validation of the trust and value our partners place in our solutions. This year wasn’t only about numbers but also about innovation. The product enhancements and the launch of the database for local literature opened new possibilities for active safety surveillance, addressing the needs of enterprises globally. Each new client brought fresh challenges and opportunities, pushing us to refine our technology and expand our impact. My Year in Numbers: Personally, I thought I’d taken a quieter approach to travel this year—only to discover I’d boarded 38 flights! Living on an island, my only other choice is by boat 🚣♀️ 😅. On the ground, I represented biologit at 16 events—as a speaker, panelist, and networker. Each event was a platform to share biologit's vision, strengthen partnerships, and absorb insights from a dynamic industry. The demands of this visibility extended beyond logistics to wardrobe upgrades: my conference suits saw a stylish evolution from Massimo Dutti to Max Mara Fashion Group (thank goodness for that 50% discount!). Looking Ahead to 2025: The horizon looks even brighter for 2025. If projections hold, biologit will surpass 1,000 enterprise licenses. This isn’t just growth; it’s transformation and scale! The next year promises to amplify everything we’ve worked for—more innovation, more partnerships, and even more travel (time to strategise a more sustainable wardrobe plan).

The Faculty of Humanities and Education is on a path of discovery and revisioning its future. Great things are ahead in 2025

To Become Who You Want To Be:

start your new year with wisdom!!

New Year Greeting and Wishes to you all from Value Added. One of the agendas for businesses this year to start focussing on understanding Corporate Reporting better to understand and appreciate Standards, Certifications, Compliances and Regulations better. Its increasingly becoming a connected world and hence Knowledge Teams should have more knowledge on both Financial and Non Financial Systems Reporting to understand the Regulations, Standards , certifications, Compliance, Governance Structures better. Corporate Reporting calls for multidisciplinary teams - be it in Audit, Assurance or Consulting World. This inter-disciplnary and multidisciplinary focus is missing in these corridors. Experts are No longer Experts with Limited Knowledge . Time to reskill, upskill, acquire new skills to bring Value to the Knowledge Space.

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, take a moment to introspect and appreciate the path you've traveled. Look back at the milestones, the impact you've made, and the lessons you've learned. Draw inspiration from those who have walked beside you, their strength and wisdom shaping your own journey. Express gratitude to those who have supported you through thick and thin, and bid farewell to those who parted ways, for they too have contributed to your growth. Now is the time to make resolutions—goals that ignite your passion and fuel your drive. Write them down, share them, or keep them close—let them be the compass guiding you in the year ahead. Reflect on your journey, set new aspirations, and embrace the unexplored. The world still holds wonders yet to be discovered. Remember, comparison steals joy—what you have, many still dream of. Be grateful for the blessings you carry. As the year closes, thank the universe for what you’ve experienced, and step boldly into the future. See you next year. May 2025 be filled with endless possibilities and success. Embrace the journey, trust the process.
