Mustafa Abousaleh My partner and I are in the process of starting a limited partnership capital buyout group. We are considering having a holding corporate company which we will own to mitigate liability and taxes. We are also in the process of developing Investor Prospective, Investment Group Summary, Shares Agreement, Disclosure Contract. What do you think about the idea of having a holding company owning the limited partnership company? Are we moving in right direction in regards to documents being written?

Mustafa Abousaleh alsalamo alykom: What do you think is the role of professional Muslims in North America? There are unlimited ways professional Muslims can contribute to the fabric of society considering Islam encourages Muslims to improve their societies on all levels. If you consider North America, what (in your opinion) is the best way for professional Muslims to contribute to the society?

Stanley Lee I'm in the process of writing a blog post about performance and expectations (or rather how some people's performance soars off when not being burdened by excessive external expectations). I'm trying to find tangible statistics and figures to help me with this post, but I'm having trouble. Would you agree that finding the correlation between stress and performance be a good direction to go into? Thanks in advance!

Very interesting question Stanley.

The question i would like to raise is that how can we balance between positive stress and negative stress. I find that I am productive under a certain level of stress (such as stress imposed by personally or professionally determined deadlines). However I notice that productivity is not directly propotional to level of creativity of solutions under high level of stress.

I find that i am more creative when I take my time and think about things thoroughly, however, I can't be fully relaxed and productive at the same time. I am wondering if this is something that you or others notice?

Mustafa Abousaleh Hi all, I am involved in starting up an NGO for cultural and interfaith events. The organization has a promising future. We need to put together a presentable package for external use. This package will help us in receiving endorsement from nationally-prominent organizations and individuals. In addition, we will use the information in this package to put together a powerpoint presentation and a short movie trailer. What do you think is important to include in a non-profit organization profile?

Thank you all very much for the contribution.
I have read the links and did some more research and here is what I have so far to be added to this Organization Profile:
1. Name
2. Vision: the ultimate image we would like to see and that's why this organization has been established
3. Mission: our contribution to this ultimate image -> basically our methods and goals to establishing the vision
4. Ideology and Understanding: explains how we understand the environment we are functioning in and how we are going to go about achieving our goals
5. Events: will include the proposed events to be planned and the outcomes or such events
6. Executive Team: includes small biographies about executive teams
7. Endorsements: we will request testimonies and endorsements from other organizations after explaining our vision and ideology.

In all our presentational materials we include information on how people can support our mission: by donating money, by volunteering, by helping us buy toilet paper, by writing about us on their website/newsletter. People like to help but often don't know how.

Stanley Lee On a second thought, it may make sense to post my question here to get more opinions on improvement. My friend is in the progress of starting a hub called "EngineersUnited." The actual hub website is still in-progress. However, it has its own Twitter account, fb fan page, and BC network. While the fb fan page is gaining a fair number of fans, thanks to many of my fb friends being in that circle. However, the activity level on fb and also on BC is very low.

Even I'm guilty of that, as I usually end up staying home or in the lab getting work done rather than hanging out and socializing. Not b/c I don't like to hang out or socialize, but I don't want to do so at the expense of dealing with the consequences of not getting work done. What you have identified is a good start.

I think however that there are alot of very outgoing engineers in the world whom love to be well-versed in technology at the same time. I am wondering, what could appeal to engineers worldwide?

Mustafa,

Glad you like the book idea for Kidpreneurs! Its be great!
My advice for Young Entrepreneurs is: 1) Surround yourself with quality people that you can learn from. 2) Find a Mentor that can help guide you along the way. 3) Keep your overhead LOW and don’t try and micro-manage your business as you grow. 4) Start now! "Procrastination is the thief of fortune!" 5) Come up with a plan to stay organized and focused. 6) Don't Give up!

Stanley Lee I've noticed that the engineering community here are not that strong here. I'm pretty sure everyone needs self-improvement, including engineering professionals and students. Got any ideas of how to improve that before I scour around my mentors here?

Using what we learned intellectually through discussions, books, seminars, workshops, etc... we can step into the real world and try to apply it. We have to know though, that mastering a skill is like motor-learning, the more we practice, the better we become at it. We conquer our apprehensiveness and fear and jump into the pool of real life; that's how we learn to swim

Mustafa Abousaleh I co-founded EngineersUnited to be the hub for all engineers and technology fans. We have immediately booked the domain name, facebook group, LinkedIn group, twitter, Careerist network (pointed out by my friend Stanley) and a google group. We started by focusing on the facebook group inviting our friends and colleagues. Currently, we are setting up our blog at www.EngineersUnited.com (still being forwarded to our Twitter account for now). Anyone has ideas for increasing awareness?
