4 Things That Will Help You Overcome Mediocrity And Step Over The Top

LIKE YOU may be aware, our world is dominated by people who are inured to leading average lives and completely have no idea what it means to scale great heights. In view of this, I want to share with you 4 habits that you should start incorporating into your daily life to put things in perspective.

1). PURSUE A PASSION. Until you have figured out what drives you and be fully committed to it, you may hardly know the true essence of self-actualization. It doesn’t matter if you’re passionate about playing guitar or working the field of souls, put your entire life into it. This passion will make you go places.

2). USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. What’s the one thing most of us are guilty of?
Not using our common sense in practical terms. We want to enjoy wealth and abundance, yet we don't give. We want to escape the rat race, yet we spend more than we earn. We want to be great leaders, yet we don't know how to respect people's time.
Put yourself into a mind-frame where your life follows a logical sequence. That's the whole idea of common sense.

3). INVEST IN EDUCATION AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. You’re not going to experience any significant progress in your life if you have limited view of the world. So broaden your horizon. Read books. Travel. Take short courses. Ask relevant questions. Learn a new skill. Make an effort each day to put yourself into at least one constructive situation where you have to learn something new.

4). BUILD A NETWORK OF COUNSELORS. Connect with people who have what it takes to put your life in shape. You can call them accountability partners, disciplers, coaches, mentors, role models...whatever. At the end of the day, your 'network of counselors' has a huge effect on your personal accomplishments.

Have an amazing day!

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...

Understanding Basic Business Etiquettes

If you're in business or even an employee, you cannot underestimate the importance of business etiquettes. Demystifying etiquette rules across multiple business-related scenarios is the focus of this article. But before we hit the ground running, it's best to level off everyone on what etiquette means. We would also look at the many ways business etiquette can improve a company or an organizational bottom line. Josy Roberts, author of 'Business Etiquette: Your Questions and Answers', defines etiquette as 'conventional rules of polite behaviour.' They are guidelines on how to behave befitting good manners while in the company of other people. They show sensitivity to the needs and feelings of the person or people that you are with. Etiquette covers most aspects of social interactions, including self-presentation, communication, courtesy, and hospitality. Business etiquette, in particular, covers expectations in the interactions between co-workers, the company a...

A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner

Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective. Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better? Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income. Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace. Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid. What about passive income? It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working. ...
