Commitment, Compromise and Communication...

Commitment, Compromise and Communication...

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

How powerful these three make all the difference in the results of our life anyhow and however we engage with person(s), people and businesses.

Relationship has a greater chance at succeeding when at least one in the party is willing to show commitment,  make compromises and leave communication open no matter what...... Well as long as DDAATT(that) WWOOTT(what) is not
1. a man or woman punching the daylight out of you. (In your dating or marriage)

2.your business partner cutting deals to shortchange you

3.your acquittance or friend(s) being of intensive bad influence, seemingly unchanging and disrespectful and disregarding of your positive values.

My opinion is that one has to be slow at establishing any form of relationship.  I once said relationship must be defined, classified and serviced mutually.

It is not possible to have a relation without engaging with another.

Critical for relationship at start must be perceived values and (or) personality alignment.

One must have a virtual checklist to Anticipate poor alignment of values and pull out of such as early as possible.

Legacy of Subsistence Must become Obsolete

Legacy of Subsistence Must become Obsolete

Legacy of Subsistence Was Our Heritage But.... The Future Can Only Survive on the Philosophy of Business Mentality and Development of Business Modules as the new Legacy and Heritage going forward.

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Subsistence has been our philosophy subconsciously  and this has informed our general disposition lifestyle.

From birth,  it is handed down; prayer routine, school routine, work for pay routine, earn to live routine, marriage routine, rent or build for your family routine,  own family cars routine, send your children and some dependants  to school routines, some overseas holiday routine, retirement plan routine, Living on Pension and Children handouts routine.

For those with extra income the routine is extended to having additional wives, additional cars,more traditional and political titles. more holidays, more parties, more clubbing,  more drinking,  more drugs

The above lifestyle models characterized by CONSUMPTION was passed down by most of our fathers and very few had a different orientation with legacy businesses that have been around  for over 100years.

The future can only trife on production where at least one in every family units is in production that can engage at least 10-20 persons, and gradually increase production and personnel to 200 and more. The business must of necessity develop upon principles, regulatory systems and succession philosophy that is performance driven as blood lines right to leadership ascession is grossly inadequate for developing legacy companies.

Blood lines should only give right to profit sharing while those equipped to run businesses are empower to do so.

[2/13, 16:03] Adeoye Bakare: Very well said.  But how do we start?

[2/13, 16:45] Odusina Adewale Hiworks: Afternoon sir,  I think it starts with us getting financial and business education of some sort and also encouraging our children to do same early enough.

[2/13, 19:47] Adeoye Bakare: Is it about these only? Methink the basic factor is trust! On the very smallest level, we have seen associates/workers who have messed up companies that were entrusted to them. ..
[2/13, 20:18] Odusina Adewale Hiworks: No Sir, I said it starts with us having the knowledge base to anticipate opportunities around us.  We may have passion for certain interest but that may not be where the big break is. Sometimes we are not able to see all the derivatives of what we do and increase our market share of the pool.

As the visioneer, we need capacity for making businesses and also managing the returns first.  We must be able to interpreted the strength, weakness, opportunities and the threats first hand.

[2/13, 22:13] Adeoye Bakare: You haven't answered my que. ...

[2/14, 01:36] Odusina Adewale Hiworks: Sir,  Trust is a critical success factor and in the midst of all the wolves, there are trusted hands and they are everywhere too in all industry.

We must be able to identify such and also have the strategy for retainership.

Everywhere I have worked,  there are people that have invested all their work life with them;  over 20years.

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.
