HOW DO YOU PLAN TO CONQUER 2016??!!!

Hello friends... happy holidays, hope you are doing great as you prepare to enter a wonderful new year.
    Here is the thing,.. i know right now where you are there some goals that you aspire to achieve and make your 2016 spectacular. Well as you think about your goals i want to lay down some principles which can help you maximize the results you want...you ready?!!....

Let's start the journey...

 1.YOU DESERVE IT.

See....until you come into harmony with your heart and mindset that what you have set before you deserve it, you will never get what you want. Many people have things, hopes and dreams they want to accomplish but their inner voices always convince them in many ways how they don't deserve it. The hardest battle you can face in life is with yourself. Your current situation may tell opposite about what you want or your enviroment, capabilities may assure you that you don't deserve your goals but truth is all those negative external vibrations have no power over you unless you allow them to control you. You hold the key to whatever you want in life so look at your goals everyday and shout I DESERVE IT!! I DESERVE IT!! I DESERVE IT!!  until is dissolved in your sub-conscious mind.

2. BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE.

Nothing destroys people's dreams and aspirations than not believing in what they want. Everything you want in life starts with the word IT'S POSSIBLE. It has been proven that whatever you claim everyday is what you will create..Everything happening in your life right now is because of what you believe to be possible in your life. There is a power in believing because it draws closer everything you want..You have to be positive about your goals and dreams no matter what that is possible and you will achieve it..And is true if you do that  to your 2016 goals.

3.STAY COMMITTED.

All great people you have seen achieveing a huge level of success is because of committment. Committment is when you channel all your focus,energy, will and determination to one thing until you get what you want. Life rewards those people who are ready to pay the price of persistence to their goals until the end. Reason that there are few successful people in the world today is because not so many are willing to stay committed to their goals even though they want some changes in life.. Your goal won't be easy to achieve because it will involve a lot of set backs and only those who stand firm will have the fruits of their labor and i believe you are one of those few people.

So take those 3 principles to drive you throughout the year 2016 and you will have good success.

                                                          HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

COURSE 101: 6 PILLARS OF BECOMING SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR.

     Subtitle: UNDERSTANDING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Hey, buddy how are you doing?..Am so excited to start this blog course which will tremendously impact your entrepreneurship skills and persipective. And am also so greatful for you to take time joining me in this course to change your life. Today we are going to set a foundation for the whole course before we step into major stuffs but i want to bring something into your attention that on this whole course we are going to focus on YOU as the business because business is 99% you and 1% practicle. I know you have been in so many business seminars and probably you are tired of hearing same thing every time, well this one is different because have realized most of trainers teach people on how to deploy business practices and methodologies which is good but they have neglected the fact that however best the practices are but if you have not built you is not going to work because big businesses you see today like microsoft, apple, google and facebook are by products of their founders who built themselves really well and engaged the practices second. So am going to share with you various principals which have helped me so much in my business of speaking and am sure they will help you too if only you apply them.

Okay, you ready for the introduction?!..let's do this

One of the lessons i learnt in life is that if you want to be effective in any area of life you have to have an understanding on that area. Understanding comes from knowledge that's why is strongly recommended that  success requires being life time student. Your passion for knowledge must be higher everyday. Understanding is very essential to anything if you want not short comings. Ignorance is an opposite of understanding, when you are ignorant about something it simply implies that you lack understanding.
And the danger of lacking an understanding will cause 2 terrible outcomes

1. Violation of principals which causes the malfunction of the thing
2. It will destroy the thing due to abnormal use

That's what happens when you decide to become an entrepreneur without understanding first, you will violate business principals and  cause your business to die. And that's why many people start their own venture, they stay for may be 1 year and suddenly they close the business why?..because they have lack of understanding.

So this is for start up entrepreneur and those who want to start up again, you better listen carefully. Before you go any further in entrepreneurship you have to understand these 2 principal questions to help you get a clear version of you. These questions are,

1. WHO IS AN ENTREPRENEUR?!
2. WHAT BUSINESS IS AN ENTREPRENEUR IN?!

Let's go little deeper,

1. WHO IS AN ENTREPRENEUR?!

This is one of the best questions i always ask people who want to start their own businesses. You will be amazed by sad answers they will give you. I have to realize that almost 100% of people who start their won businesses the first motive is money making and i was one of them too. This is very reason why most businesses die for a short time after being launched because the foundational motive is very wrong. When i know your motive then i know whether you are going to last or not. Yes we all want to make money in business  but that shouldn't not be our foundation as entrepreneurs. Now this is the definition of an entrepreneur.

ENTREPRENEUR is a person who identifies a problem and provides a solution and adds value to people's lives.

A true entrepreneur is a problem solver not a money maker. This has been causing many people to fail because they don't understand that all businesses in the world are for solving problems in the society. For instance look at Banks solving the problem of keeping your money safe so that they can't rot in your basement or avoiding being eaten by mice. You can't be a true entrepreneur without clearly understanding which problem you are trying to solve and what value do you add to people's lives. So before you get over whelmed step back and ask yourself what problem are you solving and what value are you adding to people.

These are two questions which will always make you in clear focus and achieve massive impact in your business. Problem is most entrepreneurs have no heart to serve others instead they want to use others to get what they want. This is very bad mindset to operate with in business because an entrepreneur understands the principal of RESPROSITY that anything which takes more than it gives eventually it will cause the giving part to die. What do i mean by that?..Money is by product of service and value you add in people's lives. So if you want money you just serve them with everything quality you can and change their lives. At first when i was starting out money was my greatest motive but as i kept on learning in business my motive changed to service to others. That's why to me you might not pay me to come and speak but i will still do it joyfully because my fulfillment is to see people lives transformed. Oh God i love serving people so much actually i can do it all day long.

EXERCISE
- Take your note book and a pen. Take your time  to think whatever you want to start and ask yourself these 2 questions to get clarity of your business

• What problem am i solving?
• What value do i add to people's lives?

The clear you are the more effective you will become.

2. WHAT BUSINESS IS AN ENTREPRENEUR IN?!
Well this is another area where many people get confused. If you are not careful with this part you might produce quality service which won't sell anywhere because no one needs it. Have come to realize that when you ask people in what business they are in all they will tell you is physical products business. Let me ask you this IS IT LOGICAL TO BUY A CAR FOR 1 MILLION DOLLAR AND STILL BE PROUD ABOUT IT WHILE YOU KNOW IT WILL WRECK ANY DAY?.. 

Answer is no it's not logical at all. It's because of emotional feeling that you have the most expensive car.The reason people purchase what they purchase is all based on emotions. A true entrepreneur will focus on selling EMOTIONAL PRODUCTS no matter what he sells because is emotion which drives someone to buy something from you having a feeling that your products are more good than someone's else product. So all entrepreneurs are in business of selling emotional products. For example

A realtor is in business of selling safety not real estates
A shoe company is in business of selling comfort not shoes
An insurance company is in business of selling security not insurance
A Rolls Royce company is in business of selling pride not cars

So you can see if you keep your mindset that way as a business man you will always attract many people to come to you because they know you have emotional needs they want. So i want you also to answer this question on your note book based on what you want to start as a business.

• In what business am i in?

Let's meet in part II. Thanks....!!!

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES ON YOUR JOURNEY OF SUCCESS

In life if you have decided to join the success club, you must also know that success is the most bumpy journey to travel. It has a lot of ups and downs and sometimes it will make you feel like you can't do that anymore and you will want to drop from the bus and go back. Every successful person has passed through that phase where he feels that everything is falling apart and sometimes regrets why he chose to be successful, he would have stayed normal instead of persuing the dream. Truth is success is not an easy road to travel through because  a lot will happen to you in order to put obstacles in your way and even some obstacles might seem bigger than you. But there only one things which you can persevere in your journey of success, is controlling your EMOTIONS.

If you want to be successful then you have to be a great master of your emotions because if you can't handle your emotions then getting where you want to be is so difficult. Many challenges are going to come your way and face you but they can only take you down if you allow them to rule over your emotions. Most people get discouraged along the way because they are weak in emotions. You can't be successful if you can't rule emotions.

It's true you will face a lot of challenges on your way but what matters most is how you respond to what happens around. Because the enviroment has no single impact on you unless you allow it to. How you respond to situations is very vital and that's part of controlling your emotions. Your emotions creates the same reality which looks like it. The more you are able to master your emotions the more you will develop the spirit of overcomer and build down easy way to your destiny.
\

How do you learn to control your emotion then?!,..you learn to control your emotions by being positive in every challenge you face and respond to it in a positive way with actions. If you face a challenge of giving up be positive that you are going to make it and act that way.

HOW TO FIGHT WORST ENEMY OF YOUR DREAMS.

Hi friends i know it's been a while since i published last article. I have started my CHOOSE TO BE A SUCCESS UNIVERSITIES TOUR so have been moving around but here we are again hahahaha. Today i want to share with you about how you can attack your worst enemy of your dreams. You know everyone has a dream on this earth but unfortunately few of them get to the end of their dreams. Many have remained to be wishers because they have failed to overcome this enemy which is called FEAR.

Fear has put most of people in a prison of not accomplishing their dreams. Fear has killed more dreams than you can imagine but you know what, when i was thinking why it has so much power like that, i found the real truth which you will be amazed at.

As you may think that fear is real, well is not because fear is the state of mind nothing more than that. The only place you can find fear is in your mind. Fear is formed from 2 things
i)From experiences you passed through
-There might be experiences you passed like tough times now this situation might inject you with fear of doing anything good which comes with that same overall.

ii)From experiences we see others passing through
-It's true you might witness someone closer to you going through some hard moments this might also build fear in you.

The worst thing is when fear grows in you it runs directly to your vital place called thoughts. Thoughts are very powerful and can change your life totally. What you always think is what you become. If you let fear climb your thoughts then your life will be of defeat always. So how do you eliminate fear in you?!..i have prepared simple steps which you can practice over and over again.

STEP 1:

Ø  Take a notebook

Ø  Write the list of all your fears(Be honest with yourself)

Ø  In each fear you have written below it write present positive thought i.e Am afraid of speaking in public---àAm speaking in public (When you write in present positive thought it helps you to feel that you have already overcome and this will sparkle your will power to overcome).

Ø  In each fear commit one week to visualize the present positive thought you have written

Ø  During the week choose a day and time you can take action and face your fear

                        

STEP 2:

Examine and write down the level of your fear between 1-10 .The only key to know the real level of fear you are in is to be honest with yourself don’t try to play tricks because you will be fooling yourself. These levels are explained in words which are very funny to show the state of fear you have. Reason I have put this is to make you engage inform of your sentences to talk to your fears which will help you to develop more determination to eliminate all of your fears.

LEVEL                                                      STATE

1                                                                                                               Read to rock n roll baby.

2                                                                                                               Watch me making it.

3                                                                                                               On your face fool

4                                                                                                               Surprised uuh?!

5                                                                                                               Almost there

6                                                                                                               Keep pushing

7                                                                                                               Freedom is the must

8                                                                                                               I must overcome

9                                                                                                               I will go even harder

10                                                                                                          Aaarggh!!. i still can’t do it

Repeat the process till you reach level 1. Hope this will be good for you enjoy!!

ENJOY EVERYDAY LIFE.

Back at the days i used to think that in order to enjoy everyday life you must have plenty of money, to go nice places in town, having a lot of friends. Well in reality it was just day dreaming because it has never happened the way i imagined. But till yesterday when i was reading the bible i found a great secret on how you can always enjoy your days from january to december, because is until you learn to enjoy the day you will never be successful or see any opportunities. You will never have a sense of calmness and focus to work on your dream because you will be always under stress and pressure. So i want to share with you this verse and tell you about things i learnt,

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV)

¹⁷ Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

So let's focus on the last sentence which says but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. What a wonderful God!..it made me fired up with unexplainable joy. In this sentence i want to show you 2 thoughts God has for you.

i) God always wants to be happy. 
This is running in God's mind always that he created to you to be happy. God's always thinks good of you and will never dare to let anything bad happens to you. I always wonder how some people tend to take it on God when bad things happen to them but the God i know can never do that to you because he loves you beyond words. He always think of the ways he can make you happy and put smile on your face. You have to know that and appreciate.

ii) Learn to have gratitude in everything.
When you know God loves you and he always plan to make you happy then he expects you  to learn to receive each day and make the most fun out of it. It doesn't matter how you woke up or how miserable you are but the fact that you have not learnt how to enjoy the day things will never change. Learn to live joyous life everyday is the life you were created for. Even though things may not be the way you wanted them to be but if you learn to see things the way God sees them then you will develop an attitude of gratitude in each situation. See life is simple and full of happiness if you decide to see it that way and learn to enjoy everyday of your life.

WHOSE OPINION ARE YOU LIVING IN?!

Remember life is full of choices we make everyday. We are products of our own choices and the results we are getting today come from the choices we made long ago,yesterday or today. But always these choices will come handy with opinions. You will make choices of your life based on whose opinion  you are living in at that moment. There are 2 kinds of opinions which people live in.

i) Opinion of others.
This is where biggest percentage of people live in today. Reason why people are not happy with their lives, have low self esteem, fail always is because they have let others people's opinions to take over  control of their lives. The reasons you are not where you want to be is because you have allowed others who have failed to accomplish anything for themselves to affect your life with their opinions. I don't say opinions of others are not important but what i mean is you have to find right opinions from right people because right opinions will always build you to become what you were meant to become. But most of people are blindly folded and feed on every opinion comes their way. Other people have no control over you unless you allow them. If you are going to consider opinion of others first analyze it and see what good it can add to you life or if not leave it.

ii) Opinion of yourself.
Keep in mind that change starts from you. The opinion you have about yourself will determine how people will relate to you and perceive you in daily basis. You can't have an opinion of weakness about yourself  and expect people to see  you strong, you can't have an opinion of a failure and expect people to see  you as a winner, that's impossible. The opinion you have about yourself matters alot than you think. Because you are going to be ruled and controlled by opinions you have about yourself. That's why you wonder many a people can't fulfill their dreams, they just let them die inside because opinion of fear is  controlling them. Make sure you always have positive opinions about yourself no matter what happens, never lose it.

                                Because your life matters most on your opinions.

START WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

Any success starts from one step to move from where you are to your destiny. People always wait to become big to start something,  but bad news is they wait for eternity and nothing happens. I used to think that too and sometimes i would make my plans and tell myself  that i will wait until i reach certain level and start. But it was totally wrong because as long as i waited, i was increasingly loosing hopes and faith in my dreams.

Listen, success starts form where you are right now, it doesn't matter where you come from, how small you are to start but there is the right place to start with combined with your intense desire to succeed. Since i was in high school i dreamt about owning companies all over the world and i had mastered the principal of thinking big but missed the principle of starting small. So it was hard for me to start my big dreams because i waited to be big to begin. But when i realized that you can think big and start small immediately i took actions.

So i had to start my first company but without any quality equipments required. I only had a half screened computer as you see and that is what i started with as my office. As you read this article am using that computer to write my blog posts. I know some people may think is awkward but you know what i started where i am with what i have and i have managed to touch people's lives with my half screened computer. Sometimes what you need is right next to you but you don't see.

If i had waited till i get nice office in town i wouldn't be writting this to you right now. What you see there is my office and it's in my room but is where i have started moving on towards my dreams. I don't know about you may be you might be better than or worse than me but what matters if you have a dream start where you are with what you have that's all you need. Your dream or success is built by amount of small steps and processes till it becomes they way you imagined it. You have to start where you are with what you have.
