Lesson 29: Being Average is Mediocre.

Image
When you buy a  car  you only look for the best. When organizations hire their new staff, they only look out for the best and brightest. In politics,only those with the best strategy will eventually win. When looking for partners we only check the one who will be the best from our perspective. Everyone will not pass an opportunity to work for the Fortune 500 companies, why? Because they are the best companies. When you think of google, IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook what comes to your mind,? "They are the best we have" Why do we adore and take every opportunity to buy Apple products? Because they are the best. No one will choose the interviewee who performed averagely. No one will  go to the market to look for an average product. No one will remember an average product. There is a limited choice where the "Average" will come out on top There is only one choice, we always look for the best. When we know that ...

Lesson 28: Take Action! Execute!

Image
Many want to be enterprenure, but end up being wanterprenures. Many want to exercise but gain weight with time, Many want to be the best in their area of expertise but settle for average, Many want to improve their livelihood but end up conforming to their circumstances, Many set goals at the beginning of the year  but stops pursuing them after three month. Yet the sad thing is that none of these people are willing to pay the price to make this aims come true. Bottom line you can't expect something to happen without taking action that will get you there. One key lesson I have learnt is that it only through taking the right steps each day will eventually get us where we want.  Even a baby when learning to walk has to try and take the first step and with time they become a master and see them running around, but it all started with just one step. Your level of achievement will rarely exceed our level of personal development because...

Lesson 27: Africa's Future

Image
According to the latest economic statistics, Africa Is currently the fastest growing economy in the world, by 2030 Africa will have the largest workforce greater than China and by 2050 Africa will have the largest workforce in the world. In other words by 2050 around 1 billion people in Africa will need jobs. With this statistic, Africa is at a high tipping point, and we really need solutions to address these new challenges that we are about to face. I believe that for us to address these challenges we need to have transformational leaders and visionary entrepreneurs who will be able to inspire and lead this continent by building the right ethics in government institutions and creating jobs that will enable us to sustain this growth projected. In Africa we are missing transformational leaders to lead the current generation and the power with which one leader can have is immense in creating a lasting change in Africa and that is why my dream is to build these great institution...

LESSON 26: THE STRANGEST SECRET

Image
THE STRANGEST SECRET This has been one of the most revealing and exceptional ideas that I have come across in a long time. It has been a phenomenal idea that was by the famous Earl Nightingale, and it has revolutionised my thinking and my perception on success and if you can get hold of this 12 page book and internalize the teaching, it would be a phenomenal idea that will shape your thinking to the right direction. The way we think about success is very different for each one of us, however the strangest secret captures all this differences in one statement. So what does this say? There was this survey that was done in the 60s, whereby a group of 10 young guys in their mid twenties were asked what they want to do in their future and what was their expectation  in life. From the survey all the young people who were queried had ambitions and were aiming to be a success in life, they hand the burning desire to be the best and have a successful life. Afte...

LESSON 25: AS A MAN THINKETH

Image
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he clearly indicates the principle behind the effect of the thoughts that we tend to give most of our time. A man life is guided by what he thinks of most of the time, and actions that we tend to have in our daily routine are as a result of the thoughts that we have. The idea that things are created twice shows that most of the result that we get is as a result of having a thought and later taking actions. Things are created twice, once in our imagination or thought and the second it is through our actions. Most people complain on their circumstances and missed opportunities without realizing that they are the cause of their own circumstances. It is through their own thought process that different circumstances are put in effect. You can’t expect to be successful while having the wrong thoughts or thoughts of never making it. Good thoughts are manifested through good actions and bad thoughts are manifested through the wrong action...

LESSON 24: BELIEF

Image
BELIEF As you know am always obsessed with knowing why other people make it and some live a mediocre life, and have always wanted to find what is the difference between this two kinds of people. Why  is it someone has a life full of abundance and happiness while at the same time someone in the same position might be living a life full of misery. So far from my previous articles we’ve been able to differentiate some of the core fundamentals of such two groups. And to add on that there is also one key thing that has to be considered and that is belief.  Many successful people are people who have self-confident and they believe in themselves, they are passionate and have the enthusiasm of living to their maximum through making life experiences more fascinating. Most people who are below that level of success the ones stuck in a comfort zone of unhappiness drugging through each day without enthusiasm and passion expected need to believe that they can succeed, this is ...

LESSON 23 : STARTING WITH THE END IN MIND

This I have found to be a very good habit to practice, it enables you to think of the end result and start by taking the necessary steps towards the picture you have built in your mind and what achievements or the desired end product that you are looking forward to. Even in life we use our imagination to build our life by working towards our desires, if you look at your current situation there is a time for sure where you had thought and imagined about your current state of life and this comes down to starting with the end in mind. Use your imagination to build towards your desires by thinking or visualizing what you really want or desire and then finding the right steps to take to initiate the process. Some questions you should ask yourself in terms of career is what will the person I want to be in the future thank me for doing it right now, or what should I do to now to achieve what I want to be in 10 year time, and that is why goal setting is also important because i...
