Can We Possibly Get Our Undergrads To Be More Business Smarter in School

Can We Possibly Get Our Undergrads To Be More Business Smarter in School

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

For some reasons, a lot of us spent 4-7years in Higher Institution acquiring knowledge and did not for once see the huge business potential the environment offers.

See a small analysis.

I schooled at University of Ilorin and the population of people in my Campus would have been over 10,000. Now, this would be 3 or more times more.

Imagine every student come to school with N10,000.00 monthly upkeep allowance.

The implication of this is that, every Session of six months in school N1.8billion will exchange hands in goods and services.

I ask myself now,  what happened to me back then in school??? 

90% or more of this pull of funds will circulate within the 4 walls of the institution through foodstuffs, groceries,fast food,hair care,  sport,  newspapers,transportation, telephone calls,  data,  stationeries, handouts, parties, Dressing, acquisition of appliances etc

It is high time we positioned our children in their teens to leverage this huge opportunities, equipping them with business skill, financial management skills, accounting skill,  soft skills, Trade skills like fashion designing,  hair care and related skills,  laundry skills, ironing skill, etc

Do you know that if the entire pull of funds recycle among the students as they offer services to one another, they could come back home with half of the value  taken to school as profit. It simply imply everyone offers some services.

When we show more interest in the empowerment of our children,  they will sack us early from financial support responsibility.

Mentoring is a deeper, more impactful approach to parenting our Teens. Mentoring can be outsourced,  when parents have difficult coming across in this regards and Mentoring can be learnt.

Do you truly believe in your Children... Do you truly? You Must!!!

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Do you truly believe in your Children... Do you truly?

It is amazing God calls us with 'impossible' adjectives mighty , valiant, fearless, the one with no guile...

◄ John 1:47 ►

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

In simplistic English

 Jesus, who knew his thoughts, honoured him with the amiable character of a true Israelite, in whom there was no guile — A plain, upright, honest man, one free from hypocrisy, and open to conviction; one who not only derived his pedigree from Abraham, but who inherited his virtues.” — Macknight. There was no mentioning of his prejudices and pride.

If I must judge as a man,  Nathaniel is no where near this personality described being overwhelmed with prejudice and pride,  however,  within than frailty Nathaniel is the man Christ described that is yet to be harnessed or unveiled.

Nathaniel appears to me as one at the peak of his career, a local success before Jesus came into the mix. With Jesus,  he became a global success.

Remember, this man became one of the apostles and played a vital role in the evangelism of India, a massive nation.

Also, doing a case study of Gideon...
The Midianites raided each year, draining the life out Israel. Then, the Lord sat down under an oak tree and told Gideon that he was a mighty man of valor. Gideon was in fear and hiding when God gave him this accolades .....

As parents, our children needs us to validate God's blessings in their lives, to validate their uniqueness,and to validate their abilities to succeed.

By the strength of God,  I tell my kids, it is not good enough to just be the best in your schools; be the best in the world.

I inspire them to nurture their gifts, that with the right level of nurture and discipline, they can be millionaires as teenagers.  I tell them that discipline starts at the right disposition towards God and seeing through the eyes of God, nothing shall be impossible.

I make them imagine being role models all over the world at early twenties and brand ambassadors to multinational brands.

I am already shocked at the results unfolding now with them. At 8, one is like a running water on the poetic side,  at 10, another is writing songs and exploring the keyboard  and at 12, the eldest is singing and getting a grip on flute.  And in school, all are tops.  Meanwhile,  this imply more investment on our part for attention to 'many grey areas' and more bills to pick eventually.

It is much easier to shape our kids very early before they are 13 and other 'teens' start rolling in.

We as parents have the responsibility to start an unquenchable fire of success base values and principles in our children most especially before they are teenage. 

Teenage can be with pleasure when the children are personally persuaded of the right values.

However, if the water of parenting for you is already in troubled region and you are near breaking point,  remember, you are first a custodian,  before you are a parent: God is the owner,  and you can partner with God to bring the change desired. Find trusted believer to join you in prayers,  find mentors that can mentor them,  find for them positive addictions-sports, music training,  skill development....

Above all, believe in them against all odds and irrespective of their present disposition and you will eventually see what you believe.

The Shortest route to destiny is God's route. It only appears longer

because of the various hesitations,

distractions,procrastinations,

apprehensions, and such likes, we

have entertained in the journey.

Remember, the bible says STRAIGHT

and NARROW is God's way to destiny

and Science teaches us A STRAIGHT

LINE is the shortest distance between

2 points. The bible says very very few

people will travel through without

distractions.

The alternative route is broad and

very attractive and many will travel

through and discover that it is not

leading them to the anticipated end

and eventually turn around to the

right, narrow and straight route with

a lot of time wasted.

Various Ways to Effect Trades Without Money as Primary Legal Tender - inspired at Maximum Impact with Pastor Peter Alegbe

Various Ways to Effect Trades Without Money as Primary Legal Tender - inspired at Maximum Impact with Pastor Peter Alegbe. Maximum impact holds every  Thursday by 6pm at HOG Wing, 2nd Flr, 33, Toyin Street, by Water Park,Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria

Money had been given too much credit as the predominant Legal Tender and a lot of Potential Entrepreneurs have carried their brilliant life changing ideas to their grave incapacitated by their ignorance of the various other options of doing business without money.

Legal Tender is any acceptable means of payment or exchange for Products, Goods and Services. It could also be an acceptable means of settlement for indebtedness or financial obligation. Once both parties to a transaction are fully satisfied with the means of Exchange, successful trade can be consumated.

It is strongly hoped that this materialj will be shared widely enough to reach everyone that unavailability of money had simile incapacitated from fulfilling destiny and inspire them to explore the depth of available means of trade consumation, to access the required funding and everything that unavailability of money had denied them.

Letter of Credit

This is one of the medium of payment acceptable for accessing products, goods and services. In this category a participating financial institution like bank undertake on behalf of a client or a services provider that upon the the provision, completion and satisfactory delivery of certain services, the necessary payment shall be made within stipulated time.

Some vendors or distributors can agree to a letter of credit that can pay within 2 months of satisfactory business transaction.

Letter of credit leverages on trust that all parties to certain agreement shall fulfil all obligations. This is a strategic means of doing business when the Client or Customer shows apprehension towards advancing the contractor(s) or vendors.

Personal and Non-Personnal assets

Assets can also serve as legal tender. This could be real estate, automobiles, jewelries,intellectual property such as drawings, songs, poem, Artworks, Report of Research and Development and such like. They can be personnal or non-personnal asset. In view of non personnal property the consent of the property owner must be sought and confirmed in writing.

Exceptional Skill

Acquired skill can serve as a mean of exchange for a relative financial advancement. The more skill acquired, the more finance can be accessed.

Social Equity

Social Equity can serve as a means to access certain business opportunities. This has to be consciously developed and eventually leveraged on. A lot of people just do not value growing their social equity in the course of their career development. Keeping a tight niche with your old friends from various previously attended schools, getting actively involved in religious,business association and office cycle, attending engagements,parties of colleagues and associates, participating in forum and group, writing in blogs and journals and such like are various ways to build a build of prospects with which a social equity can be developed. One can enjoy financial equity on account of a very strong social equity. Example of such is enjoyed by sportsmen and women, popular musicians, actors and stand up comedians as brand ambassadors of business institutions. A lot of them have become Multi-millionaires from brand endorsements.

Trust Equity

We have many instances of people doing Multi-billion dollar businesses yearly on account of Trust equity grown with certain partners. Sometimes goods are advanced to such worth 10 times their financial pool upon the history of unfailing remittances. Trust is CORE to the survival of any business really.

In summary and for emphasy, It is strongly hoped that this materialj will be shared widely enough to reach everyone that unavailability of money had simile incapacitated from fulfilling destiny and inspire them to explore the depth of available means of trade consumation, to access the required funding and everything that unavailability of money had denied them.

Movement- Critical Progress Factor

Movement- Critical Progress Factor
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks



There is a saying ' no venture no gain'.Venture as we know points directly to risk taking.

Movement as we know points  directly to action on certain decision and reflects intention to achieve certain goal either good or bad.

It is very important that we are disposed to movements as against being defined by stagnancy.
Stagnancy points to staleness, deadness,irrelivance,irritancy,retrogression,brain deadness, zero productivity,hopelessness,faithness,deapondency and list go on and on.

How do you know when you Are gravitating towards stagnancy?

When you notice the following are begining to define your personality......

If you unhappy continually, it is most likely stagnancy trying to find a hold on you.

If you are an unhappy teenager, eatablish the cause and seek  help.

If it is perpectual failure to access higher learning, evaluate previous preparation and invest three times more effort, find a mentor, Change your circle of friendships and read related books and build a fresh confidence level to succeed.

If the cause is an abuse of whatever sort, then expose it irrespective of the  immediately public embarrassment it may bring on.

When unemployment is an object of stagnancy,  then find a place to volunteer.  I am 100% sure that even if you have sought for a job for 5years, in 5 days you can find a place to volunteer  and afterwards, your chances of getting a paid employment in 5months is  pretty higher.

Sometimes, it could be a new line manager, a new job description, a cut in renumeration, a denied or delayed promotion that  are possible objects of unhappiness.

You must weather that weather by creating Movement against the obvious emotional set back. You must lead you emotions.

Talk you you; say to you, I love my job. I am excited with what I do. My job make Me relevant to humanity. Service to humanity defines my job attitude. Every challenges at work are required to Bring the BEST out of Me. I love everyone in my team irrespective. I have all it takes to earn more and I will do all I can to impact my work productively and earn more eventually.
I am unique in every way.

When we talk to ourselves long enough, the HOLD of stagnancy will eventually break.

Other ways are to seek capacity improvement, change the job, the Branch, go on leave, retreat, Read related books and such like.

One can not be unhappy and making progress at the same time.

But be rather sober-challenges are meant to humble us:they are meant to make us realize there is more than we have become comfortable with but these more will not be delivered to us on a platter of gold.

If you are unhappy in your marriage do not allow stagnancy to have a grip: unhappiness always points to 'gettings'. Change that focus - SEEK OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE MORE.

If it is a physical abuse like Battery, move out for sometime until your confidence is restored and a clear evidence of character adjustment in your spouse.

If it is emotional abuse, cut off from being dependent by seeking  to earn or earn more to cover for all areas of dependency and give more of what you are supposedly being denied: time, attention,communication,parenting need for the kids,etc

Remember, you had made progress in your life before the marriage and you can continue to make progress with or without the marriage.

Above all pray more for your spouse.

When retired,  the general proclivity is zero economic value to the society.   The general propensity is for the society or Government to pay for such person's livelihood.

Sir, with due respect, how many people in your community is getting such benefits from the society or Government? Blames do not put food on the table or pay for welfare. The age when children take full responsibility for their parents needs is fast going into extinction. 

We must mind our retirement business seriously even more than our immediate needs.

Retirement must not be an excuse for stagnancy. It is the greatest Opportunity to find a new level of relevance.
In the least, a retirement points to at least 25-35years of life experiences that may not have been documented.

BEST sellers can be written and Sold over the years of retirement and Who knows the fortunes that could evolve from such wealth of experience.

A mentoring programme can be initiated during retirement which could be free or monitized. Which ever way relevance or Movement has been initiated.

Remember that the only antidote for stagnancy is movement and we dispense less energy in movement  than when we need to stay stagnant. 

So make Movement consciously and continually.

Unleash Your Depth Of Creativity- SERVE OTHERS
From ODUSINA Adewale Hiworks 
We Are wired at default to serve one another and we have numerous platforms through which we are opportuned to Offer service(s).
True fulfilment comes as we deploy ourselves in the service mode.
Even when our service have financial benefit, our motivation must come from the love to serve others and not from the monetisations.
This is how we unleash the depth of our creativity.
One of the ways to aid this mindmode is genuine love for what we are doing. One must love the job or work or service or business well enough to be willing to volunteer or do it free or for marginal financial benefit.
One must love the task  enough to acquire the depth of knowledge Base and explore new ways of getting tasks done.
One must love the value Offering enough to research and seek new ways to solve prevalent problems in that industry that have lingered for very long.







Servitude is what unleash the depth of our creativity not financial gain. Problem solving  skill set is developed quickly and with ease, when helping others is on our front burner.
The moment we are tuned to help others, we shall begin to experience a deep depth of hunger for knowledge, a strong bond with our community (everywhere we are engaged with people) and the joy that no level of renumeration or financial gain can give and as part of the derivatives improved mental and physical health.
So, Unleash Your Depth of Creativity by Simply Serving, Anywhere You Are.
 

Now That You Are Successful, What is Next???

Now That You Are Successful, What is Next???

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Success creates for you a golden platform to pull many others to high flier status; your Children, your Spouse, your Family, your Friends, your Colleague. your Associates, your Acquaintances and everyone that your engagements will pull into your sphere.

Successful Business Parents have a responsibility to mentor their children through the path that brought them to affluence and not shield them.

Unfortunately, this will not be true of certain  undiscerning parents that will deny their children the Opportunity to learn from              such wealth of experience. When your graduate son or daughter is made MD without growing through the ranks, It is like putting a potentially fruitful plantation in the midst of thorns and tissles.Can you imagine the fall?

 Success is an altitudinal journey and The rule of genuine success allow for the journey to be less steeper for greeners. However,  as they ascend to authorities,  the route is much steeper and lonely but the experience required to succeed as authorities is grown in the rising and falling and rising through the ranks.

Strong values like diligence, loyalty, patience, managing rejection and failure are developed.
 
And your spouse,  needs every support in the long walk to legacy.  Success must be a collective responsibility.

                                                                               For family and Friends refuse to be the bread winner figure,  but rather be the trailblazer. Have a zero tolerance for indolence. Invest in family business capacity building,  create businesses and engage members,  pay them attractive wages.  Remember that the business philosophy is not really profit driven in the short term; the money invested is such that those that enjoy the bread winners status would have shared freely for crying out loud. Sacking members will be a capital punishment after all the various corrective measures in the system are exhausted.

Seminars,  books,  workshops,  blogging, audiovisuals are various avenue for impacting colleagues,  acquitances and anyone that will pulled into our sphere of engagement positively.

I have heard of situations where successful people burn their success trails as a mean to reduce competition at the top.  This is a very unfortunate disposition.

The truth is that the best of us can not the released without  conflict and competition in the market place.

Let us help to bring more people to the market place and there is enough room for everyone.
One of the things we would achieve is higher level of local expertise,  deeper enterprised communities and sustainable economy.

So now that you are successful, the journey to building a Legacy must be on the front burner and do explore your platform.

Weather Your Weather; It's Your Call!!!

Weather Your Weather; Its Your Call...
- Inspired at Max Impact with Pastor Peter Alegbe, Oct 20th 2016.
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
 


Many of us have observed that when air -conditioner is working and suddenly power cut, a once freshened room becomes almost immediately hot and uncomfortable.

This situation that suddenly becomes prevalent had always been there but suppressed by the air conditioner.

Same applies with a once lit room before power cut,  which immediately becomes grave dark. Similarly, the darkness had always been there but suppressed by the light.

For as long as the air-conditioning is adequate and the amount of light is sufficient, the uncomfortable situations that could exist in their absence remain suppressed.
 
We can draw a parallel analogy from these situations with  real life situations.

Ignorance remains suppressed for as long as we give ourselves to superior knowledge acquisition and Application.

Fear remains suppressed for as long as we feed our courage with faith and absolute trust in God.

Anger remains suppressed for as long as we consciously don't ascribe undue trust in humanity.

Frustration remains suppressed for as long as we give 100% dedication to the course at hand, until the expectation is the reality.

Failure remains suppressed for as long as we refuse to quit or give up on our dreams.

Quitting remains suppressed for as long as we have WINNING on our front burner.

Sickness remains suppressed as long as we maintain healthy, God's word based Spiritual and mental ambience.


Bad habits remain suppressed as long as we keep exercising ourselves in good quality lifestyle.

To be continued .....

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

Invest Money, Time & Most Importantly, Invest Attention

TInvest Money, Time and Most Importantly, Invest Attention

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

It is pertinent to note that in the core of knowledge acquisition, the most important resource is not money or time but ATTENTION.

A lot of time, we are quick to buy knowledge and sometimes at a very dare or sacrificial cost;study loan,family grant, village  contribution, life savings and such like.

We can also take time off; study leave, sabbatical, weekend classes,  evening classes.

However, the most critical resource is the ATTENTION.  Most of the time, we take for granted the demand of this resource which is totally our prerogative.

Anybody can support in the provision of funds,  friends can give you lift to always arrive early  enough but Nobody can help you to INVEST YOUR ATTENTION.

The Following will facilitate having the level of attention needed to be a focused listener.

1. Ask the salient question.  Of what need is the knowledge quest?  Are you in it because it is free,  or your friends are certitified and you want the social status, or your office is placing a demand on you to be accredited or you see the acquisition as the next in line in your career moves.

No matter what the trigger is,it is critical that the timeshare is effectively harnessed.

2. Spend time Discovering The Relevance of such knowledge base to the community;  where you work and the society in general.

So when the knowledge acquisition is not self initiated or triggered by career move,  we must pause and condition the mind to find relevance.

You may have to find a mentor.  That is easy now with social media;     Linkedin.com. Facebook,  Google+ etc

You may also find a career counselor.

Do all you can to find that hunger for acquiring this knowledge.

3 Carry out an online research on the training in view,  research on the challenges of the deficiency of the knowledge base and problems this knowledge can solve.

4 At the lecture room,  be conscious of the circle of persons you anticipate will aid your participation.

If you are easily distracted, then sit at the front; come early enough, if you have health challenges sit at such a location, you can comfortably address your needs,  If you are not comfortable with air conditioner,  then wear appropriate dress that suites your needs.

5. Avoid creating unnecessary air around you e. g flashy dressing,  bogus jewelry, elaborate makeups,  flashy cars and over speeding at training venue.

6. Carry out personal research in the library and online,  buy books,  initiate group discussion all with the goal of getting the most from the skill acquisition.

7. Do not also forget to network. Get to know your colleagues and continue the conversation on social media.

In conclusion, Irrespective of the cost and time demand of any training at all,  the most important is the maximum impact of such training in the life of the attendees. 

The impact is however directly proportional to the Attention paid or invested in the course of study.

So knowing that poor preparation and Self initiated distractions are major obstacles to attention, we must take very seriously the need to prepare well and also create the enabling environment for our ATTENTION AND LEARNING.

Success is an Altitudinal Journey

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
Success is an altitudinal journey.

 If you have walked up the hilly side before, you will identify with the pains in every stride.
Hence, the lighter you travel the easier.
You don't want to carry any weight on the hill side walk.
Weight are both physical and spiritual or emotional.

There are various technological ways to ease off the pressure of physical weight,  but emotional are intangible but more powerful and domineering. 




Emotional weights are the heaviest;  hatred, anger, malice, envy, jealousy, offenses,  worrying, apprehension, sadness, aggression, and such likes take a lot from us; drain us of innovative, creative and productive energies - like Mosquitoes -parasitical.

However,  as powerful as emotions can be, we can either buy in or decline. 

Emotional weights are like birds flying looking for where to perch; do not become the victim of unstable emotions.

Situations will continually present opportunities for happiness and sadness as long as we are alive but we can choose to see all the situations from a vantage position and be continually happy.
I have earlier defined success as a mental state. 

Success is a state of the mind that inspires one to go on and try again and again no matter how many times one has failed. 

This can define you when you do all to travel light.  Do not allow the past experience to define the future. 

How does one travel light consciously?

Here, I will be introducing my therapy.

1. 
   Cast your 'weights' on God. It is not given to humanity to carry any emotional weight; any at all. God Instructs us to Cast all weight on Him. This is why we keep our communication with God open 24-7 all year round.  You simply pour your heart out to God in prayer and trust that he will do something about the weights.
2. Study the Bible habitually. Here you will discover, you are not the first to be challenged. You may also find a similar dilemma and be encouraged to trust God deeper. You will always find strength and many times instructions about how to deal with the situations.
3. You can also share your mind with someone, a confidant and many times discover together a way to move ahead.
   
   
   
   
4. Do not isolate yourself. This is the most dangerous place to be when one is weighed down.You can find a friend, travel back to your Alma Mater,Go to church or your religious ground of persuasion, find a book that bears on your concerns,find a sporting activity of interest, attend an event, watch sound of music, listen to an evergreen tune;anything to take you out of the box.
5. Focus on your Altimate Goal, anticipate the challenges ahead and see such as leverages to your success.

It is totally your prerogative to keep the right air around you for success. Memories of past successes and failures can both be equally counter productive.

So Travel light consciously.
