How Are You Using Time?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

“The difference between the rich and the poor is what they do in their spare time .”

Time waits for no man. This is simply known by everyone, but it lacks a corresponding common practice to back it. Consider a new - born baby. Upon birth, the child has nothing to his name, except “baba” and “mama”. All this little human has is his time, and he only would one day get to discover that every other thing he would receive / have in his life only would come in exchange for this precious commodity. Many a times, man seeks more of this treasure, while all they need is a better way of employing it as a good steward. Friends, we need to be the pilot of this time, while it flies before your eyes. Believe me, before you say Jack, or the “O” in OBJECTION, the year is gone, and while you take an inventory, you find - out that you have achieved nothing!

It is quite unfortunate to see many people live with no picture of where they are going or what lies ahead. Many merely exist with nothing to show for their existence. The one thing they know how to do best is mark time. This is clearly seen in the way many manage their time. It is worth remembering that a week from now – it will be a week from now and what becomes of you after then is determined by how you make use of your God-given asset. Whether you manage it well or not, either way, you will surely achieve a certain result - it just might not be what you expected. Continue Reading »

Just Before You Give Up 2

Are you still thinking you don’t have what you need to achieve your dream? And thinking it is not worth it holding on any longer? Wait…Why did Napoleon lose to the English at the battle of Waterloo? The English simply fought five minutes longer. Some few years back, I went to serve my fatherland (to fulfil all righteousness). I came out of NYSC Orientation Camp with no clear picture of what lied ahead. The truth is that I had been deployed to a village (to teach Physics and Mathematics). Immediately I saw the deployment letter, I knew within me that I was not going to end up at the place. How this will happen, I did not know. But I made up my mind to give it all I had at the time.

Motivations to hold on came from the pictures of future I carry within me and the desire to succeed. What will happen to all the dreams? The great plans? My aspirations for the year? My community development work with the youth – led initiatives I was working on before the start of service year? The questions were countless and it was as if I would not be able to provide the solutions. Almost everybody around me at that time did not know the solution either. Nobody, I mean, really knew what lies ahead.

Waking up the following morning, I discovered that I had joy unlimited – the joy of seeing my dreams achieved. There and there, I decided to effect the change that would lead to the fulfilment of my dreams. I made up my mind to secure a placement first within the city and then sort out things with the State Director much later. He was the only person everybody believed could do anything to the posting.

Are You Giving Up Before You Start?

Are you currently at a cross-road in your personal life or business and things seem not to happening accordingly to plan? Do you feel like giving up much before you even start? Then, I have good news for you. Most successful people have gone through this phase at one stage of their life. They had enough reasons to give up their dreams but chose otherwise. Today, you and I celebrate them and wish we could be like them. They have only one thing working for them…PERSISTENCE.

Whenever you think of doing something new or different and your first reaction is “I can’t”, you automatically block yourself from getting the ideas or the resources that you need to achieve your aim. You will start to think of all the reasons why such a thing is not possible for you. Everything around you will point towards failure rather than success. And before you know it, that is what you will get. This is what many people do.

Many want to improve their lives, increase their income and accomplish much more that they do today but they constantly respond with the words “I can’t” as soon as the new goal pops into their mind. Before they even try something new, they will talk themselves out it. They will then begin to think of reasons why it is impossible for them. Continue Reading »

Can You Get Everything You Want?

Is it really possible for you to get everything you want in life? YES, it is…But there’s just one problem. Someone else has it now and you have to convince them to give it to you! Nothing good comes on a platter of gold. You must be ready and willing to sacrifice to go for what you want. You need to leave your comfort zone and go after what you feel is important to you.

If you want to go to college, you have to convince the college admissions officer to let you in by showing that you’re a good student. For instance, if you want to go to a top business school, you have to start first by preparing for your GMAT examination. This places a lot of demand on you as you definitely going to combine this with your existing work. After you pass your examination, you will then site down to write your application essays and submit your MBA applications to as many schools as you want. If you scale this hurdle, you will have to scale the hurdle of interview before you are eventually offered admission.

If what you want is a raise or a better job, you have to convince your employer to give you one. This involves you becoming master of what you do and make yourself relevant to the company. The people in your organisation that are being paid money that is many times your current salary are not necessary wiser than you. They have only been able to make themselves relevant in the organisation in such a way that your boss is willing to pay any amount to keep them. Seek to understand how they got to where they are and make a commitment to put in effort to achieving this same. Continue Reading »

How to Promote Yourself

Do you have something you can offer to others? Are you really good at work you are doing? Then, it is essential that others know about it. This will help increase your business - and contrary to what your mother might have taught you, it is not necessary to feel guilty or shy about promoting yourself.

Here are some way to do this in an effective way.

  1. Attain a high level of expertise: Before you start promoting yourself, it is important that you take pains to obtain extra skills and that you possess a high level of expertise. You need to stand out in your field if you are to get and keep business. Seek out new training courses and mentors. Find a way to get your name out there without looking like you’re trying too hard.
  2. Speak in front of an audience: When you get a chance to speak in front of an audience in a conference, meeting or even just a get-together, use the opportunity to promote your skills and knowledge – and your business.  Speak on any subject relevant to your line of business where you have knowledge. This will not only increase your confidence in public speaking, but will also advance your popularity and help you begin to develop a good reputation.
