IN PURSUIT OF MONEY

A friend posted this on my Facebook page and it really made me ponder and examine my purpose, and how I run with it.

How may of my loved ones I had denied my attention and time ?

I realized I do this without the conscious effort to hurt any one of them but of cause the image and the golden thought brought me back to the understanding of how we chase the shadows while at the expense of  the people that matters to us.

Have you been chasing the money effortless ot with all your might?

Do understand that there are times when we have realized all that we desired in life but unfortunately, we often forgot the reason we tried to achieve those resources .

We discover that in chasing our dreams we had denied our loved ones the care and our presence and most times, we deny the human essence - the body the necessary vitality needed to make us enjoy all that we toiled for.

Look back to day and waive to the selfish aspirations, extend your love to others, most especially take care of YOURSELF!

Primarily set a budget. This is vital as this helps you to sketch out your plans. By budgeting you are organising yourself and this helps you a lot.

You diet plays an important role so if you plan to change your lifestyle remember to add new habits.

Our fear of success

Our fear of success

*

This is one of our greatest and largely unconscious fears. Most people do not apply what they learn. The cause of our resistance to success is both biological (internal) and sociological (external). The “voice” of our unconscious brain is much stronger than our conscious brain. We need to align our conscious goals and desires with our unconscious habits, attitudes and beliefs.

The solution begins with a clear, passionate Vision. This is essential to creating the motivation and action necessary to break through our “glass ceiling” of success. By examining our results we can tell if our unconscious mind is holding us back from better results.

A paradigm is an internal control system our brain creates to maintain a desired course of action. It is strongly related to our self image. Our present paradigm, or belief system, is getting us our current results. Any improvement in performance is only temporary unless we alter our paradigm. This requires the development of new habits and a deeper awareness.

Identifying The Change Champions

Identifying The Change Champions

Your organization’s change “champions” need to be identified nurtured and supported.

The Law of Diffusion of Innovation states when approximately 20% of employees get involved in the organizational change a tipping point is reached and the Fence Sitters begin to join in the change movement.

As more and more people begin to embrace the changes it becomes “safe” (less risky) for this second group of Fence Sitters (approximately 60%) to join in the change movement.

We also need to be aware of the negative energy and communications that a third group of employees (approximately 20%) will encourage. These individuals will find it hardest to embrace the changes and may ultimately end up leaving the organization. It's tempting to spend your time trying to extinguish bad behaviors within this group but spreading the word about the “champions” will ultimately change the culture.

Culture always wins. Refuse to fill your organization with victims.

Keys to Authentic, Emotionally Intelligent Choices

STOP!

What you are about to read is the wisdom that you and your parents (and their parents…) have been searching for your whole life.  It has been referred to occasionally throughout history and proven over and over again to guarantee better business and personal results.  These results are independent of your age, sex, culture, geography, political beliefs or economic status.

Are you ready?

Here it is …

Whenever you make an authentic, emotionally intelligent choice whatever happens next is always a good thing. When you do not whatever happens next is not a good thing.  As easy as this sounds, it isn’t.  The ability to choose is your greatest gift and power.  It is your choices not chance that determines your results.

Keys to Authentic, Emotionally Intelligent Choices:

1. Greater Awareness (Cognitive and Emotional)
2. Better Tools and Insights (Essential New Information/Solutions)
3. New Habits, Attitudes and Beliefs (VERY Difficult)

We make choices 86,400 times each day and the results we achieve reflect those choices. Most of our choices are unconscious, hence the need for greater awareness. Every time we act or react a choice is being made and we are the ones who are making it.

The Open World

The Open World

The world is transforming at a rapid rate into one that is far more open and transparent.

1. We are collaborating globally to turn social media into social production at the speed of light.
2. Institutions and companies are becoming naked and transparent.  The need for and lack of authenticity and emotional intelligence has never been more apparent.   Without it you will be unable to build trust in this new global world.
3. Sharing assets can create new ways to innovate producing synergistic results.
4. Individual empowerment is decentralizing its use and bringing freedom.

The internet has enabled us to become global producers.  This rapid rate of change is also creating a power vacuum that needs to be filled with a network of authentic leadership and emotional intelligence … Yours.

“Cash 4 Gold”

 “Cash 4 Gold”

We see these signs everywhere.

What is more gold or money?  Who wouldn’t like more cash or more gold?  The problem is that cash and gold have absolutely no intrinsic value … none.  One is a piece of paper and the other is a rock.  We seem to be chasing something that is literally worthless.

Let’s change our focus to the real source of our wealth and ATTRACT more gold and money.  Money is simply a way of moving wealth around. The disadvantage of looking at money and gold as wealth is it obscures what business really means.  When we stress over money or revenue we are stressing over something that has no real value.  People think that what a business does is make money.  But money is just the intermediate stage, an indicator of what people want.  Your greatest wealth is your authenticity and emotional intelligence.

The signs we see should really say “Cash and Gold 4 Authenticity and Emotional Intelligence.”  Because that is The New (Real) Economic Currency.  It’s working for companies like Apple, Southwest Airlines, Whole Foods, Disney and a growing number of other organizations around the world.

How about you and your company?

Give Yourself and Your Organization a Brake

Give Yourself and Your Organization a Brake

Habit formation is the process by which new behaviours become automatic. This process is challenging and takes consistent effort. Old habits are hard to break and new habits are hard to form. That is because the behavioural patterns we repeat most often are literally etched into our neural pathways. The good news is that with support and repetition you can develop new default habits leading to the changes and results you want.

Achieving Your Vision

Everyone talks about vision but few talk about achieving it.

I found this article very interesting culled from a friend, coach, father and Master of Business Leadership who has help many to realized and take charge of there life while achieving   their visions.

You can learn from Phil Johnson about your vision and how to bring about the realization of it all.

Vision is what you intend to achieve

1 – Your vision is your “Why”.  It is the source of your motivation to take action.  It is something you passionately want to achieve. It is not just an idea that matters to you. In my experience it is something most people need to admit.  Typically, it is something they do not speak about much.

2 – When articulating your Vision it is essential to let go of the “What” and the “How” to turn your reality filters off and just be honest about what really matters to you and your life.

3 – Vision only works when it adds value to all stake holders.  Everyone needs to first connect with their personal Vision.  Then the individual Visions need to be reflected in a collective Vision that inspires everyone to take action.  The greater the “Why” the easier the “What” and the “How”.

Now take advantage of this tips, take action and you are sure on the path to Excellence while achieving your realistic VISION.

Break Free From Your Mold!

Everything in creation is movement. No stand still ...no rigidity if you really desire true freedom.

When one yearns for freedom there should be ardent effort to achieve it. A lot of people who desire to be free from the fetters that hold them down often times come up up with endless excuses for not getting it right .

Many attribute their background and  environment as the key limitation to achieving greatness and excellence.

We are all in the same creation, we all breed the same air and blood flows in our body not water. Howbeit, when you choose to change your mind towards Greatness and Excellence with equal action to achieve it, failure naturally disown you.

Never allow your background to put your back on the ground

Never allow limitation to deter your aspiration

Never submit to wining and criticism when you can be winning and be decorated

Away from all forms of mold that hinders and deter movement, stagnation brings no progress, but retrogression.

In movement you'll find progress. Break away from your mold.

Animate the stagnant you that alone brings liberation and progress.

You are too great to be LIMITED... Excel without LIMITATION!

S.T.A.R.T... winners first step

 

The smartest way to start a business is to S.T.A.R.T... this is one off the most asked question and answers you could get from consultants, entrepreneurs and inspirational speakers all over the world. 

The word is great and always prompt one to do something at least by taking that bold stride in accomplishing something great however how small others might regard it. However, it is not about what others would say but what you are willing  to achieve in your big picture.

Women... Your Business and Market

Many of out talented women today do really need more time to move out of paid employment (... here I'm only referring to only those who are dissatisfied with their present occupation and willing to strive for excellence in their chosen business venture)  since myriads of them consider it as a tedious venture. 

Own Your Business

Recently, an acquaintance I met on the internet proposed to me to review a business plan and later to be part of the business by providing the necessary funds for expansion and always get ROI ( Return On Investment) of $100 dollars monthly. 

Wow! isn't it fantastic?

The business plan happens to be an existing poultry firm which I knew nothing about and promised to manage the business since he has a poultry with over 250 birds and harvest  9 crates of egg per day.

Well, the idea sounds great and tempting, but really is this advisable? 

Lifebelt of Excellence

Many world class businesses failed and more will still do without the lifebelt of success and Excellence.

This pit fall could have been avoided if only business owner and entrepreneur interested in pitching your tent beyond now.

How far can you see?

We all have been given the ability to see ... I mean seeing in the sense of the underlisted :

Spark of An Amazing Entity - Spark of Distinction

We all exist with great abilities that always get us noticeable in all we do. Yes even in slothfulness or in dedicated hard work.

Today, I simply want to share with you the stuff you are made of and the purpose of your existence, even when you have not taken time to really understand your unique tendencies, and even if you had then this will be a reminder for you to be the best you could and must always remain.

Well, one great thing is that you've be given abilities to swing with splendor and glow in your uniqueness when you force them into motion that shapes the now and the future into the reality you desire.
One excellent thing about you is that you are You! Yes you are because you exist with excellence which the world is earnestly waiting to explore and dine always.

Congratulations! Missions Accomplished.

Congratulations! Well done ... these are words  you hear when perfection and excellence is achieved.

I know you would also want to congratulate yourself for a job Excellently performed.

Great!

But you only get this when you live each day with a sense of purpose and desire to accomplish. Then you go further and accomplish your mission.

I agree so much with rewarding excellent failure in which one fails and falls forward achieving more but punish mediocre success of no value.

Think about Excellence, Live it, Do it

Excellent is a valuable attribute

Complete embrace for Constant and Never-Ending Improvement in no time will make you the desire of all in all you do.

If not Excellence

Then what?...Tom Peters

Constant and Never Ending Excellence - How to make History





 

Where Are The Entrepreneurs?

I live in Nigeria - the most populous country in Africa with estimated population of 140 million people.



In other words, there is a lot you can achieve in this environment, I believe the wealth and riches lie in the below formula:


People= Market


People= Wealth


Wealth= f ( Opportunities, Market and People)



Now You see what I mean... but the focus of this article is that I am yet to find enough entrepreneurs to take the advantage of the hidden wealth and riches in our Country.



I discover that we have power issues... are you out there with an alternative cheap power supply?



The business world is rapidly transforming into global market and everyone needs at least a laptop and Internet connection. However, Internet connection charges is rather on the high side for most of us and almost not affordable by all.



Are you out there with affordable laptops for all ,Internet services for businesses  and home users?



People eat everyday and anytime I need to eat I realize money would have to exchange hands and that is another indication that you can come up with your own recipes - simply ensure it meets with daily dietary requirements. 



The opportunities are innumerable, but all I observe everyday is that people keep complaining and wining that there's no job, no money no head way.



Do you desire a change and need to increase your net worth while adding value the society and yourself?



Where is the enterprise in YOU?



Where are the Entrepreneurs?


 Cheers!

It's Excellent Enough For Success!

Everyone who got to where they are had to begin from where they were_ Richard Paul Evans

I cannot but wonder and ponder when I meet with talented ones whose rare kinds of gifts, oftentimes if they could only explore them carefully with dexterity then dumbfounding excellence will be in their grips.


I was working with some young folks recently at a congregation filled with hundreds of creative ideas. But one thing took me aback when the first young man I over heard just kept complaining that there was no job and that with all he knew I could not do anything.


I slowly walked towards  him and inquired why he looked so worried and again he started complaining about how the environment has been unfair to him and how nobody needs his skills and how things would never work for him and he went on and on... wow! quiet pathetic isn't it?


Having allowed him to unburden his mind. I asked him just one question, What solution do you have to offer the world?
