Miinding Our Own Success Game Plan

When was your last time online doing something that improves your trade?

Mine was last hour.

.

Something caught my attention some hours ago. I was watching a FREE empowerment session 'Taking the market as an Underdog' with Niyi Adesanya on YouTube for about two hours and only about 800 views after one year. I also check some of his other videos with a similar level of traffic. 

However, I checked the traffic for comedies and related fun fairs and the traffic was averaging over 500,000 views. 

Both had free access but most people are not interested in fishing or knowing how to position better for more effectiveness and get more. They are just comfortable with associating with successful fishers and probably getting from the crumbs that falls off unfortunately. 

Everyone must move from employees to stakeholders mentality; that mentality always deliver more into the Commonwealth platform. Even in government, if civil service become more efficient prompted by this mentality, more savings will be made and the excess will be available for the common good.

Little wonder, the low level of new entrance into entrepreneurships, partnerships and stake holdings.

We are not all going to be business owners but we must all at least grow from employees to become stakeholders in every sense of that in our chosen industries.

THAT TRANSITION WILL NEVER HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT INVEST INTO THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE BASE  AND WE SPEND OUR TIME ONLINE  WATCHING ARTISTE AND OTHER SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THEIR CRAFTS.

Excellent Works Series

Excellent Works Series

The trials life presents to us do not always come scheduled like the academic examinations with dates and times and so we are caught red handed and our responses are most likely unrehearsed.

Unfortunately, unrehearsed response or otherwise determines what happened next; The result. This can be extra ordinary, excellent, good, pass or fail.

We know every failed exam is repeat until at least a pass.

Also, the quality of performance in life examinations also impact on future roles, responsibilities, influence, rewards and all that.

If we are not watchful we may just be circling the same spot for years and be blaming others for it when the issue is that we have been failing our life examinations.

A civil service worker that clocks in and leaves the office to run personal interests and gets paid salaries for inactivities is failing life examinations without knowing it. Also those doing eye service are not better of.

Life examination can not be bamboozled as action and inaction are equally recorded against every player.

Work is spiritual and every work is rewarded; you are either owing or being owed and every work gets paid for.

Every trial is a spiritual engagement and for as long as we are here, we are in one, coming out of one and going into one.

Every trial is scored and rewarded, otherwise failed trials will be repeated.

Unbelievably, nature abounds in resources to take EVERY HUMAN BEING on His trials. A graduate comfortable with idling at home because the dream job has not come is failing. Every Work gets paid for. A graduate can volunteer in a neighborhood school to teach while awaiting a dream job. This is just an example.

One of the ways to beat life's trials is to live deliberately and truthful. To stay committed to excellent performance in every engagement, To starve daily self aggrandizement and strife to help others make progress.

This is exactly what the Grace of God has come to animate in our lives. This is the true reflection of a Christian lifestyle.

Embrace the help of God today, Jesus Christ and be defined by His excellences. You will discover how easy it is to drive in Lagos and not raise your voice again to fellow road users, be a law abiding citizen, be slow to speak and to anger, be ready to forgive, be ready help others make progress, among other virtues of a Godly life.

The Dream has what it takes in you after all

It is amazing that when we are travelling even to an unknown destination, we keep an imaginary picture of the location in our mind before and on the journey; we don't mentalize the roadblocks, the bushes, the traffic, the cloud, the rain, and all at the same depth of emotional connection as the destination of interest.

We Must Do Much More For Our Dreams and de-emphasize the cost of the journey; The Dream has what it takes in you after all.Hiworks

THE DYNAMICS OF WEALTH CREATION ... WORK IT TO WORK

THE DYNAMICS OF WEALTH CREATION ... WORK IT TO WORK

Any financial success scheme that exempt one from some labour, mental, physical or both and it's not engaging any logical legitimate process but all premised on luck is preparing one for pain, uncertainties, Chaos, hunger and hyper tension. 

Decide what contribution you want to make in your community; it can be as simple as making stationeries like note books, biros, pencils and erazers available for school children to buy on their way to school and devote your life to that. 

In every city of Lagos, we have more than 100,000 school children and at least 50% of them will misplace those items daily and have them replaced at such a spot like the one you will provide. 

Simply grow your reach of such children daily and your financial growth is the reality.

One must decide where that societal contribution will be made and launch in.

Character is destiny.

Find the work, Do the work, Do the work well, find more work, get paid and become truly wealthy.

True wealth is not cash in the bank but the gratification that you have reached the community of people that you were meant to touch with your contribution to society.

What must determine when I set up a private practice? What are the character traits of sustainable business?

What must determine when I set up a private practice? What are the character traits of sustainable business?

I believe when the root of a business has the right foundation, the chances it will weather all the storms are very high.

I believe many businesses had it wrong from the mental foundation before any business name is coined.

When one decides to set up a business prompted by pressure from superiors or management for any inappropriate behaviours like AWOL, lack of depth, mismanagement of resources, lateness, insubordination, impatience, intolerance, poor communication and such like that such business may not survive for the lack of business culture.

For any business to survive, the industry players must put themselves UNDER the rule of healthy business cultural practices and keep abreast of such related International best practices.

When going private practice is prompted by the desire to do things with no respect for business culture, it is not different from trying to burn fat and look fit but one is not cutting down on heavy calories.

The reality is that businesses are thoughts, wholesome thoughts like season film scripts looking for animators. Everyone catching in must be ready to go the entire scripts to experience the entire vision, otherwise, a business shipwreck is inevitable.

It is actually the business owning you and not the other way round. It is just providence that made you the face of the business. Knowing this truth prior to considering a business venture is very critical. It will make you very accountable where you are currently.

To say I own my business is hypothetically correct. It is more correct to say I preside over a business conceptualized.

If the desire to set up a business is centred on acquiring wealth, becoming rich the long haul of waiting to see the wealth will be intolerable and most people will jump from one business to another and waste lots of resources.

Remember, businesses are pages of scripts that must be animated and two similar businesses are not similar in their scripts and as one is climbing against the tide, the other may be descending and aided by the tides. Everyone must pay attention to their peculiar rhythm. It is like asking scriptwriters to write for the same title; one will get as many perspectives as the different writers or ask different engineers to design a particular solution, a thousand of them will draw from a thousand perspectives and they could all be flawless.

When one fully understand that presiding over a business idea does not free one from more work but demands from such more responsibility, such will think deeper before venturing.

Self Employment, even from what it suggests, that is being self-employed is a more laborious self engagement.

The moment one is doing things off the script, you are deviating from the peculiar brand philosophy and off the set destination.

Everything is in the particular business script; from the business name to the various business services, values and principles to weather relative and evolving challenges and also succession plan are all in the scripts.

The more we are ready to be under the rule of the scripts, the more the scripts will unfold. Hiworks

The Rhetoric should rather be 'choose your own boss'

The Rhetoric 'be your own boss' is hypothetically correct.The world is full of bosses; everyone plays boss daily; the moment you receive or refuse any service or you use your right to pay or refuse to pay for unsatisfactory service, which we do perpetually, we are showing our boss right over another irrespective of their position in the society. Remember, the customer is  boss.

The Rhetoric should rather be             'choose your own boss' & the first right of refusal is totally at your discretion.

Little wonder both the employer & the employee reserve the right to fire the other party.Hiworks

Businesses are Commonwealth Platforms

Businesses are commonwealth platforms. Even from the beginning of creation it is so defined.

Jobs and money for Job done are in abundance

Any time I read a message to me saying ' please!!! I need a job urgently', what I also see is that there is a knowledge deficit because Jobs and money for Job done are in abundance; one may only need to seek for the right match of one's most valued skills and the commensurate monetary compensation for that. But works to survive why waiting for the dream job is always in abundance and anywhere in the world. Only lazy or irresponsible people are hungry.

Work and any legitimate work at all is honourable; Engineers in London'll wash plate in restaurants while waiting for their dream job but too proud in Nigeria; something's wrong with that.

There is also room in abundance for volunteering and and such engaged gets paid a token to get by.

Sitting at home in the name of waiting for the right job is a show of gross irresponsibility and whoever is feeding you is feeding your ego fat and it will burst sooner or later especially when you are 45years and with 2years of working experience.

Bros, get your hands in the ground and you may just run into gold while hunting diamond. Hiworks

If there is any virtue critical to Working with God, MEEKNESS it is.

If there is any virtue critical to Working with God, MEEKNESS it is.

The greatest challenge God has with man has always been the ability to ask why before doing, the personal opinion, the propensity for egotism; the thinking that he could have a superior idea than God's instructions.

Throughout the Bible, we are commanded to go at God's instructions recklessly to get the full benefits locked into that attitude of complete obedience.

It is a follow-follow mandate we received at the cross; we were brought into the kingdom of Our Lord and His Christ. Everything the King says is a decree or command and to be obeyed recklessly.

The Bible records that because King Nebuchadnezzar's command to dump the Hebrew men in the fire was urgent, the king's men carrying out the instructions died at it. They were reckless.

Unfortunately, a lot of God's children find it still difficult to see God's Word as Urgent Instructions to be carried out urgently and recklessly.

The measure of our MEEKNESS is the level of our capacity to follow God's Word with a 'go at it' attitude; recklessly, unassuming, unpretentious, and unafraid.

Who is Meek from the English dictionary?...

meek

/miːk/

adjective

quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.

Simply implies one disposed to do anything and everything God says; no questions asked.

A man can't be meek in God's evaluation and remain normal; your propensity to life issues will naturally oppose common sense while you are at it a lot of time.

But, unfortunately, the only criteria for working with God devotedly, will be that one keeps growing the meekness deeper and that will mean DYING DAILY to self-aggrandizement, to being self-opinionated and self-security. Self-security is the disposition to fight for self-worth.

All these values are important to you and more important to God but it is just that, when we push for them we devalue God in the effort. God would rather take that fight up at His level. 

If you have never seen an ambassador of a country take up a fight for self-security but would rather not give a personal opinion when such are wronged in the country where they are hosted and leave the fight to the homeland, we should not think less of ourselves as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God.

Moses was described as the meekest in his time but remember he was in a developmental process for forty years after running away from Egypt before God called him.

Joshua had his share of 40 years before God chose him to lead.

And if you checked the only quality they both needed most was capacity for follow-follow.

Jesus said one to be envied is the meek because such will inherit the earth in Mathews 5:5

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 

Matthew 5:5 KJV 

https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.5.KJV

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 

Psalms 25:9 KJV 

https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.25.9.KJV

We are to put self to death daily and live for a higher purpose in it's stead and that will mean living for God's Word and views on the issues of life as they unfold daily without question.

This is Christianity or you are not a Christian. You must be working on this turf or you are not...And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].

Luke 9:23 AMPC

That is the most important part of the call out of darkness; to serve God with everything.

So give no room for scandals. Hiworks

Scandal is like a consequential or accidental knife injury; any damage to the knife will not stop the aftermath of the experience; the blood flow, the pain and the scar that may never totally disappear.

Scandal is meant to destroy a man's reputation whether or not the report alleged is true or fabricated; scandal will do a perfect job except God really come to the victim's aid.

Scandals thrive on the vulnerability of the mind to turn words to animated images in the heart and once formed it takes effort to remove such images.

So, don't play with the knife or anyone dangling it around you. The Bible says RAN AWAY OR BOLT FROM EVERY APPEARANCES OF EVIL OR SCANDALOUS OPPORTUNITIES (PARAPHRASED).

Be guided, be smart, as every opportunity that present itself cheaply might be after your priceless values, with the intention to fuel  scandalous setup. Run!!!

When we give room for scandals, it does it's job and we are at the mercy of previous perception, providence and posterity. 

So give no room for scandals.

If you are the possible target by virtue of you do, make your office all see through if you can, record all conversations, be mindful who you ride with and the company you keep. Avoid any controversial private meetings. Be careful to accept controversial gifts. Keep very detailed records of assigned responsibilities and funds and if possible the sensitive once in a bank and with very trusted friends. There is no length to which you go to avoid scandals that will be too much.

So give no room for scandals. Hiworks
