Many people have not given it a thought to drink water daily. You can survive without food for several months but you cannot survive without water for more than three days. There is this story of a man who wanted to fast for forty days just like Jesus Christ. He died immediately after completing the fast because he did not take water. Your body is over 70% made of water. And water is constantly being used up for the daily metabolic activities. Try to replace your sugary drinks with water and you'll see the difference. Make sure you drink up to eight cups of water daily. You can take two cups early in the morning, two at noon, two in the evening, and eventually two at night. Water is life! 2 Comment Share 65 0

The education I'm referring to is not the one given within the four walls of a college. It is the self-made education. I'm very surprised that some graduates, when they graduate from college stop learning altogether. This is wrong. Education is meant to continue for a lifetime. If you stop learning, you start dying - T.L. Osborne. Give yourself to a lifetime of voracious learning, and you will remain relevant for life. 2 Comment Share 64 0

Your business is dead on arrival if you do not believe in it. You need to believe in your ideas. It is the faith you have in your business that will force others to believe in it. Henry Ford had faith in building a horseless carriage. He prevailed in spite of various obstacles. The Wright brothers had faith in building a machine that will take people to the sky. They also prevailed. Thomas Edison had faith in lighting up the world. He prevailed. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. It is the eternal elixir which gives life, power, and action to your business! Have faith in your business; for without it, no business will survive! Comment Share 75 0

When the founder of a business is lazy, the business suffers. Whatsoever your hand finds doing, do it with all your might. A lazy man does not embrace discipline. A lazy man is highly disorganised. Laziness is a plague. It is the mother of all misfortune. It allows steady destruction to creep into one's life. I read a post where Elon Musk said his staff can call him at any time of the day. He said he doesn't care even if it is 3am on Sunday morning. It was also said that he could read for over 10 hours daily, when he was young. No wonder he is so rich. Hard work beats talent any day, anytime. Get out of the vicious cycle of laziness and see your business catapulted to the mountain top! Watch out for the next one. 1 Comment Share 76 0

LACK OF ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE IN THE CHOSEN FIELD/BUSINESS. What do you know about the business you are venturing into? Nothing?, Then the longevity of the business is at stake. You need a working knowledge of any venture you are embarking on. Never get into a business without first seeking profound knowledge about the business or endeavour. Bishop Oyedepo said, before he got into ministry, he read a whopping 39 biographies of proven ministries. He said he became 39 years older in ministry than his peers. Warren Buffett, when he was young, his father gave him some money to invest. He did not invest immediately, but studied for six hours daily. He read about great companies like General Motors. He studied what they did that made them a trans-generational company. Today he is a billionaire in dollars. Never get into business without first reading to discover insights about the business.

LACK OF VISION DO you have a vision in place before venturing into that business? If not, the business is heading for failure. The reason is because, there is no solid reason why your business exists. Your business can be termed "anywhere bele face". Vision instills discipline and focus. Vision means going into the future from the present. It is also vision that gives birth to planning. You need a vision before a business. Don't enter a particular sector without a vision, or you'll crash in a moment. Joseph in the Bible envisioned a hunger-free Egypt, and he was appointed to the task. Elon Musk envisioned a carbon emission free world, then he built Tesla around it. Grant Cardone envisioned the world of real estate and he built a company around it. Elon Musk again, envisioned the colonization of Mars, and he built SpaceX around it. In conclusion, the world only bows to visionaries. And I want you to be one of them. So, never start a business without a vision. Watch out for number two reason in the next post. See you later. 1 Comment Share 64 0

Nothing succeeds without persistence. Martin Luther King Jr said: If you cannot fly, run. If you cannot run, walk. If you cannot walk, crawl. By all means, just make sure you're moving (you're persistent)! Let me show you from nature what the latent force of persistence does daily. Persistence: 1. transforms a seed into a tree and a tree into a forest. 2. transforms a zygote (the fusion of sperm and ovum) into a fully developed baby and a baby into adult. 3. transforms the egg of a butterfly into larva, from larva into pupa, and from pupa into Imago or adult. Note that development did not cease at a particular stage due to the force of persistence behind it. In my next post I will tell you, from real life illustration, how people have engaged with this mysterious force to catapult their lives to the mountain top. Be blessed! 1 Comment Share 77 0

We shall see in this post. Edwin Barnes began to work assiduously in Mr Edison's company. He would do what others termed as menial jobs. He continued this way for five years without achieving his burning desire. But you see, nature has a way of bending to the persistent audacity of unyielding folks. Edison invented a new machine called the ediphone. And his sales force thought that this machine would not make its way through the market. That scenario gave birth to Barnes' greatest opportunity! Barnes quickly rushed into Edison's office to inform him that he would sell the unsellable machine. Edison gave him the opportunity to do so. And he did. He sold the machine to the point that a slogan was coined: " made by Edison and sold by Barnes". Edison later signed a contract with Barnes which made very wealthy. Barnes won through persistence. You too can win. 1 Comment Share 71 0

He was born in poverty but chose to die in riches. How did he achieved this? I will tell you. He conceived a thought within himself thus: "I want to work with Thomas Edison". Edison in those days was one of the greatest inventors around. To get to Edison's office, he had to catch up with a train. But he had no money. So he had to hop on a freight train so he could get to Edison's industrial complex. Barnes went straight to Edison's office and announced that he wanted to work with him. Note: work with him and not for him ". Edison later realised that Barnes was desperately committed to what he had said. Barnes was assigned some menial roles Edison's office which he gladly accepted with his main aim of working with and not for Edison burning in his mind. Did Barnes achieved his aim?

I started,in the last post, the hindrances to TIME MANAGEMENT. Can you still recollect the first one? Good. Lack of planning. Now I'm here to give you the second one. But before I do that I will like to tell you a story. It's about the hare and the tortoise. The hare and the tortoise were mandated to run a race, themed "the race of discipline". Since the both of them have expressed their interest in getting married to the king's daughter and whoever wins this "race of discipline" would have her. The hare bosted that the king's daughter is already his, due to his tremendous speed on the track. But the tortoise was a steady runner; extremely disciplined and focused. But unbeknownst to both tortoise and the hare, enticing goodies have been placed in various places on the race track. This was done as instructed privily by the king, to test the focus of the runners. Immediately the race began, the hare took off like a flash of light and the tortoise running with the same speed it takes the earth to rotate on its axis. This is to show you how slow the tortoise was. But while the hare was running, he began to sense that a lot of goodies were provided by Providence on his path. He suddenly stopped, gave thanks to God and began to feast on this goodies, forgetting that he was in a race. To be continued... 2 Comment 1 Share 90 1 0

It cannot be increased, reproduced and recovered once it is gone. So, we may perhaps refer to time as "OPPORTUNITY". According to a study done in the UK, an average adult wastes about One hour, forty minutes in the bathroom daily. This is alarming. The proliferation of technological gadgets has increased tremendous amount of time people waste unconsciously. Now, as write this , average adults waste 2-3 hours(10,800 seconds) daily on their mobile device. Time is the only thing you always want more of, but you only seem to have less and less of it. Now, there are some hindrances to managing time effectively that we need to look at. And they are: 1. Lack of planning: This is the greatest time waster. An unplanned life is bound to fail. And unplanned venture is bound to crash. Lack of planning is like a ship leaving its harbour and sailing for an unknown destination. Let's say the captain of the ship is asked "where is your ship heading to"? What will be his answer? Well I am yet to see a ship that will leave the harbour without first concluding the next harbour it will be docked. So also, your life is like a ship and you need a plan. I made this post concise enough for you to digest ruminate and absorb it like a sponge. In my next post we will look at the other hindrances to time management that you need to get rid of. Be blessed! 3 Comment 2 Share 101 2 0
