the rules

1. If you don't believe in yourself, no one will
2. Keep your value or get a paid job
3. Thrive to exist between the extreme of greed and stupid altruism
4. 'closing deals' is very different from having a 1000 leads
5. set the price as high as you possibly can at the pre-existing market conditions.

📊 Critical Appraisal of the IPOR 2025 Pre-Election Survey: Coincidence or Constructed Optics?

  By Mfumusaka (GMC) The release of the  IPOR 2025 pre-election survey , just days into campaign season, has generated both interest and concern. While opinion polling plays a legitimate role in democratic processes, the  substance, structure, and timing  of this particular survey raise important questions that merit closer scrutiny. 1. Too Many Convenient Coincidences The timing of the findings seems almost choreographed to match recent political developments.

The  United Transformation Movement (UTM) , which recently rejected an alliance with the DPP and remained independent, is shown  collapsing to just 5% , despite having sec...

Delegates’ voting behaviour: Elusive, but just for Now

Similarly, for a political investor/politician it can be frustrating to devout so much effort in a competition where the voter behaviour is unknown, because doing so would easily lead to wastage of resources or in other words, would limit gains per dollar invested. While voter behaviour is complex and often elusive, when the same or similar voters vote for candidates over a number of times, it is easier to demystify their behaviour. Using known techniques of analysis often taught in elementary statistics, econometrics and mathematics classes, it is possible to study the patterns and derive generalizations or even “theorems” around such behaviour. With advances in machine learning and AI in general, and a good understanding of physiology, sociology, one can torture data or even create some and pr...

Title: Malawi 2025 Presidential Tickets: A Comparative Look at the Faces and Futures of the Nation

  Greenwell Matchaya, PhD As the sun rises on Malawi's 2025 presidential race, the field of contenders has crystallized into defined pairs, each ticket representing not just a party, but a vision, a legacy, and a strategy for the country. Among the leading coalitions, three tickets dominate the national discourse: MCP’s Chakwera–Mumba, DPP’s Mutharika–Ansah, and UTM’s Kabambe–Mtumbuka. This blog examines their profiles, strengths, and symbolic significance, while offering a broader reflection on what leadership should look like in a democracy.   1. MCP: President Lazarus Chakwera and Hon. Vitumbiko Mumba The ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has once again placed its faith in continuity, experience, and transformation. President Chakwera, a theologian and former seminary principal trained at Chancellor College, brings gravitas, continuity, and national familiarity. His running mate, Hon. Vitumbiko Mumba, is a youthful Minister of Trade from Mzimba and an engineer by t...
