How Your Stories Can Keep You From Getting Great Results

The only reason we don't get what we want in life is because of the story we keep repeating to ourselves about the reason we don't have it.

Every time we stop believing the story and make a decision, we
become stronger.

A long time ago, I remember this business idea I had. I kept nurturing it in my mind and didn't bother sharing it with anyone for fear of idea larceny.

Every day, I'd find a reason not to launch out with the idea, until one day I had ENOUGH and told myself that I was just a crackpot.

It created a breakthrough and the following week, I invited a team of partners. We scrutinized the idea and set it in motion.

Take inventory of your own stories.
Any stories that don't serve you should be killed without hesitation.

A story is simply an excuse or something you repeat to yourself all the time about why you're not producing a certain result.

We all have stories. The key is to be aware of them and to not believe them.

Choose the winner's story. Choose the bounce-back story. Choose the self-made man/woman story.

Think of your life as a Nollywood or even a Hollywood movie script. You're the one writing the script.
You choose the character and the time of the story you want to write.
Will that be a drama or an epic adventure?

Your choice.

Have an amazing day!

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. ...

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...
