We venture into
funeral assurance
Old Mutual Zimbabwe
has launched a fully-fledged funeral services business in
response to customers' call for tangible funeral services
over and above the cash benefit offered by Old Mutual. The
new offering aims to alleviate the financial pressure and

Let's talk home loans
In South Africa home loans (also known as mortgage bonds)
are typically based on a variable interest rate, linked to
the prime interest rate as published by the SA Reserve
Bank.
The prime rate can change up or down, which
affects your borrowing rate and the instalment (or
interest) you have to pay each month. |

Proven ways to improve your
memory
Being able to retain and recall huge volumes of
information is an enviable business skill, no matter what
you do. Think of the entrepreneur who can pitch to investors
without once resorting to notes, keeping almost unbroken eye
contact while instantly recalling stats, figures and facts;
the advertising executive who presents to a prospective
client without ever having to look up one statistic or
budget item; or the manager who can remember the exact
details of an important decision made in a meeting several
weeks ago. |

How to prioritise 'me'
time and how to spend it
Modern women face a lot of pressure, both professionally
and at home. Working moms are often expected to juggle the
demands of work deadlines alongside their family
commitments, maintain their relationship with their partner
all while dealing with the demands of modern living, family
events and everyone's busy schedules. As a working woman,
whether partnered or single, mom, or not, you need to make
time for yourself. Here are some ideas on how you can do
so. |

Menopause is not a disease
Menopause is defined as the time in a woman's life when
she has had no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months
and no other biological or physiological cause can be
identified. Plainly stated menopause is the end of a
woman's childbearing years and is a natural process. The
physical symptoms, such as hot flashes and emotional
symptoms of menopause may however disrupt sleep, impact
energy levels and affect mental and emotional health. |
