Are You Exploring or Exploiting the Eco System???
Are You Exploring or Exploiting the Eco System???
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
We are daily drifted to either side of the divide; The Explorers-those looking out for and inspiring greatness in others and the Exploiters-those fueling their self actualization at the detriment of others.
The players on either side of the divide poach for their objects in the family, they can be employer poachers and much more as employees. They may be Trustees, Friends, Colleagues, Political Post Holders, Civil Servants.
Explorers are like God, continually establishing balance in the Eco System; Evaporation, Clouds, Rain and Repeat, Day, Night Repeat, Jan to December Repeat, Carnivores kill Herbivores For Food NOT GAMES, Rotten Leftovers are consumed by Vultures and Animal Waste helps Plantations and Repeat etc
But Exploiters are Devils Destabilizing the Eco System.
Men, exploiters kill for games and the endangered species for money, men destroy Farmlands with Oil & Gas Poor Business Practices.
Men, exploiters diverts Government funding for road drainage construction to personal property development at the detriment of millions that suffer in flooded communities.
Men, employees, exploiters, cut down 2400manhours per employee yearly contribution to business growth by half or more with poor commitment and dedication; hours on social media, personal calls on office lines, using office resources for personal gain without approvals.
Men, exploiters, reduce rate of growth of
Wages with denied and delayed promotion, thinking if the employees leave, many others will come.
Men, exploiters, buy new rides, build houses, observe leave and travel with the entire family when salaries are being owed for 50 staff for 3months or paid half salary for 6months.
The list is endless.
But beyond the smokescreen, the showoffs, the aggrandizement, There is Really no PEACE for the EXPLOITERS.
But TRULY, GREAT is the PEACE of the Explorer.
Be an Explorer!!!

Discover Your Mission
If the question comes to me from within or from without that my life could be threaten by the course I must follow, my reaction would be what is a life without the course; dead!!!
......just meditating on the brand philosophy of Multi Choice Nigeria...... 'Enriching Lives'
You may say whatever you like about them but just imagine what their Rhetoric is.. Enriching Lives. If you don't believe me, check out their coverage of Nigeria, with all the challenges we are cumbered with poor power supply, internet, challenging Government policies, inflation etc.
But they go through all that just to impact lives positively.
I live to make captains of industry and however that come across and everything to make businesses succeed is what gives me the kick everyday.
You must discover yours and start living.
Everyone has a mission and the size is irrelevant; don't compare with another.

Is Your Business Positioning For Today or For All Time... Any Brand Philosophy at All???
Is Your Business Positioning For Today or For All Time... Any Brand Philosophy at All???
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
Building a lasting business has not been more challenged than in our generation, especially in Nigeria, the biggest potential from Africa as far as the New Frontier is concerned.
However, if we must really compete globally then the negative rhetorics must change.
The narratives are very much unattractive to international business prospects.
We have effectively created many floodgates not windows for foreign players across all value chains. The global players will only grow their country economy with the businesses they do over here and why won't they when all the funds to sustain their businesses also came from their foreign banks at their local low interest rates and the products they patronize are also from such countries and maybe they are also allowed to spread the payment for those products over many years.
Remember that Nigeria is a cash based economy. Can you imagine foreign players getting full cash value and having 10years to spread payment with vendor? So why won't Africa be the New frontier for global players?
Unfortunately, local players are not helping matters with low quality services and sharp practices.
Appreciable businesses, say over 80% are not positioned to play globally and unfortunately, the entire nation suffers and you may want to ask how.
Whether we are aware or not the available resources of any nations, human, capital, materials, infrastructure are expected to build the commercial value. However, the growth of that commercial value is directly proportional to the pool of income generated, which also is impacted by the pool of available business opportunities.
The challenge here is this, out of the pool of available businesses, let us say 100billion naira each year, 20% global players compete for 80billion naira worth of businesses with only the labour content of about 5billion and taxes the only benefits to our country. 75billion naira repatriation to home country as materials and profits.
Eventually, 80% of the players, that happen to be local players with more than 50% of the pool of workforce compete for the remaining 20billion naira worth of businesses and obviously growth will be a huge challenge.
We are really expected to recycle the resources of the country while we attract foreign investment but that is not the case; we are allowing for huge repatriation and not attracting enough foreign investment to make up for the commercial export.
These are from my just observing things around me and logics.
To change the rhetorics and the narratives and reverse the order which should be THE NORMAL, we must take responsibility for where we are and determine to make pragmatic adjustments for THE NEW NORMAL, implying a future where local contents compete for the 80% of the available opportunities and foreigners position for the remaining 20%. A future where we not only have confidence in human capital but also in our local materials fully developed from raw materials from all our various geographical zones.
A future where we all buy NIGER.

Discovery and Courage - Critical For Your Next Move
Discovery and Courage - Critical For Your Next Move
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
One of my campaign statement is that 'Beyond Common Sense Is The Right Action Taking In The Now. '
I dare to say that, THAT RIGHT ACTION is already resourced for us to undertake.
From studies, mentoring and experiences had, the only challenge our next move have is OURSELVES; most probably beclouded by wants that we call needs.
So be adjusted NOW, because you have all you need for the next move.
Once that is settled, then if the claim is true that the next move is already resourced, the 1St necessary action will be to DISCOVER what it is that is available for that next move.
Afterwards, With Courage make the move.
A lot of times, people focus on MONEY and wait endlessly for the money, when the next necessary move is to go volunteer somewhere where the required business skill capacity can be developed.
The next necessary move may be acquiring necessary certificate with available capital to enhance project success.
The next necessary move may be to seek employment in a related project environment and grow required experience.
The next may be growing a business relationship with banks, and organization that can facilitate such projects.
The next move may be to find a Trusted Mentor, one that has experience or needed skill sets and be mentored for a period.
Shockingly, the next move could be to write the vision or project idea down and run through the plan; one may discover a clue to the next critical move for project success.
You may want to start a newspaper company and your next move is an online Journals and columns is the available papers.
Do not bring level 100 problems to your level 5 or level 5 to level 0.5.
Jesus had the mastery of the books of the laws and prophets at the age of 12 but started His ministry at 30years.
Life is a journey with many milestones and every cycle resourced. All you need now is what your current cycle requires.
So DISCOVER your next move now and be COURAGEOUS.

You are an Institution
You are an Institution
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
You are an Institution, a product of certain schools of thoughts; ideologies you absolutely believed; You now know what to do to change you.
If you truly believe hard work is critical for success and you don't come across as a diligent worker, then you actually believed shabby performance can deliver success or you believed cutting corners can, however that will play out.
You claim you believe in God's empowerment, and you don't identify with His values:you are full of self aggrandizement, greed and accruing riches at the expense of genuinely honest hard working people. Sorry, the one behind the values you really project is called SATAN and he is simply having a nice time with you.

There are no 'suddenlies'
There are no 'suddenlies' that are not consummations of some 'deliberatelies'; it could just be that minds were oblivious of the relative series of events. Odusina Adewale Hiworks Credited to Pastor Peter Alagbe At HOG Ikeja, Sunday Service Session June 11, 2017.
When 'suddenlies' are the first jolts that any relationship is failing; business, marriage, friendship, and even our Piety, then it is already quite a late alertness.
Most of the time, building do not just collapse without indicating that it is distressed. Prior to collapse, there will be IGNORED strange occasionally alarming vibrations, IGNORED alarming cracks and many times IGNORED notice of Demolition by Building Local Authorities.
Unfortunately, the Deliberatelies don't make the news before the Suddenlies have taken a ravaging toll.
This is also the reality for most of every other life engagements. There are really very very few genuine suddenlies with difficult to track series of accumulated events.
When you completely ignore speed limit, chances you will have series of accidents are high and it is just a matter of when,how severe and the relative toll or impact. Your ignored series of event will be habitual over speeding.
Now, if I know that you habitually over speed and I ride with you home from wherever, then my series of event will be being stupidly riding with a friend that habitually ignores speed limit.
Businesses do not just loose revenue and when revenue downward drift is the first jolt at realizing financial chaos, it is most of the time too late.
Most organisation have strategy for securing physical assets but have no clue for securing their most important intangible assets:their vision and mission philosophy.
When a business brand Identity is at the mercy of incompetent human resources and management, Business Financial mess and Extinction are possible treats.
It is amazing that God has as a strategy to cut off parts of the body that hinder the overall well being of the body. Also do doctors.
Owners and management of Businesses have the responsility to protect the brand identities and be willing and ready to severe persons, teams, systems, practices and such like that run contrary to the brand philosophy:NIPPING SUCH IN THE BUD before they become prevailing threats.
There must definitely be an appraisal strategies that can identify the GAPs.
Most of the things I shared are from years of fellowshipping in Church, House of Grace, Ikeja, using audiovisual, watching TV, listening to radio, study of Bibles and books; Significantly FREE; I ONLY PAID ATTENTION;You don't have any excuse for poor and shabby performance.
