NO ACCIDENTAL SUCCESS

-

For a while, I've stayed up until late at night, working on huge career dreams I've had for a while, and truthfully is hasn't been fun. Last night left me with a serious body ache and headache. While I lay on my bed, I pondered on one of life's most undeniable reality; success is never accidental, it is deliberate. Success doesn't come fun, it comes hectic. Success can be enjoyed on your bed, but it can only be achieved on your fit or sit and not on your bed.



I've realized that the world is full of billions of people who have dreams and visions worth billions of dollars, but only few people who are willing to take the pain of working on those dreams.

Forget your wishful thinking and crazy unrealistic imaginations, truth is that poverty is a life companion for a man who isn't ready to leave his comfort zone (Proverbs 13:14, 6:6-11). A wise man once said that "the Richest place is the burial ground" and that's because millions have died poor and insignificant, and unfortunately with ideas capable of altering the global financial direction.

The first capital you need for a successful career or business is not money but an idea. But the truth is that no matter how beautiful or powerful an idea is, it cannot plan, cultivate or deploy itself; an idea is not enough, discipline is key!

Hey! That company will not build itself, that textbook will not write itself, that talent will not develop itself, that research will not conduct itself and that book will not study itself!
The time to work on that idea is NOW, not tomorrow. Procrastination is devilish!

Don't go bragging about being a professor by reading other people's textbook, write yours!
Don't make noise about attending shows to watch celebrities, become one!
Don't go brag about many preachers you know, pay the price for the anointing!
Don't make noise that you are a manager, become a CEO!
Don't bore me with your role models, become a role model to others!
People have prayed for and taught you enough, pray for and teach others!
Don't go crazy about other people's fashion, become a fashion designer or employ one!

Finally, good success comes from God. Miracles can happen but God will bless the works of your hand, and not the speech of your mouth or thought of your head (2Chronicles 15:17, Ephesians 4:28).

But beyond the ideas, stay around or listen to people whom you aspire to be like. Surround yourself with people who challenge you. Don't surround yourself with mediocres or pessimists; your idea isn't worth sharing with everyone, some will discourage you and kill it.


You may be broke now but not in the future. The period that you are trekking is the time to work out your future private jets and not the time to blame the government and fantasize. You first of all become a wealthy person before you actually have the money.
Not all dreamers end up achievers. Dream is free and painless but success isn’t.

SUCCESS IS PREDICTABLE.
See you at the Top!!!

A world without envy and strife

Few weeks ago, I was in Abuja for a national assignment. Whenever I went for an official or professional assignment, it was customary for me not to share a room with anyone – I needed all the space and comfort possible. So I was eventually checked into a hotel room. The room was spacious and beautiful, and the bed was massive and wide. That was exactly the type of comfort I needed, so, I was psychologically good to go.                                                                              One fateful night, I was weak and I knew I needed some sleep. Unfortunately for me, sleep was a luxury I couldn't afford. I switched from one position to another in a bid to find sleep, but my frustration got worse. I eventually made up my mind to be calm and sleep whenever possible. Suddenly, I noticed that I occupied a small corner of the bed. The space left could comfortably accommodate three more macho men – to say the least. I was disappointed at myself, how can I have all

THREE MEETINGS OF LIFE AND YOU

While on earth, and in pursuit of meaning and success, every man or woman is destined to meet three persons, and vice versa; YOUR EQUALS : these are people who are at the same or almost the same level with you. They are mostly useful as companions and confidants. You need each other. You call them FRIENDS. YOUR DESTINY HELPERS : these are people who are ahead of you spiritually, politically, financially or otherwise. You look up to them for counsel, connection or support. A contact with them, their words or write-ups can narrow the distance between you and your destination. They may not need you, but you definitely need them .You call them MENTOR or BOSS. YOUR DESTINY DEPENDENTS : these are those you are meant to be an answer to their own problems. They need you as their own mentor, model or helper. If they don’t meet you at your best, their own lives may end up in shambles. You may not need them, but they definite

WHAT IS YOUR SELLING POINT?

Popular Nigerian hip-hop artist, D’prince in his hit track “Goody Bag” popularized the concept of ‘Selling Point”. According to him, everyone needed a selling point. He identified his wealth and his Banana as his own selling points-that’s why ladies rush him. He went ahead to say that a lady should at least possess any of the following selling points; boobs, bum, intelligence or culinary expertise. I’m neither a fan of Nigerian Hip-hop nor D’prince, but as trivial as this song sounds, it is arguably one of the most meaningful Nigerian hits.   Professionally speaking, a ‘selling point’ is that attribute of a product that makes it attractive to customers. Relative to human beings, it is that ‘developed’ natural or acquired trait that makes your personality or vocation attractive to people, organisations or states. Everyone yearns for a selling point, and those who can’t find any in themselves almost always have inferiority complex. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone has a
