We all long to become successful, but sometimes forget to do things that are in line with attaining success. We have big dreams but fail to fulfill them to the fullest in order to see them through. We have big wishes but fail to make them happen in our lives. We want to achieve heights but forget that going to the top is not an easy job. In fact if it were easy, we are all there right now.

Unfortunately, mere dreams, wishes are not achieved by words of mouth. It is the effort, the zeal, the work, the passion we put in to make them happen that open the road to success . If you have a shortcut to it, please let me know.

I know success may have different definitions, features and perspectives depending on each one’s perception and philosophy of life. But it has signs that show clearly what you are successful at and how it impacts your life and other people’s lives.

Now, endeavor to answer the following questions in plain words in order to position yourself strategically on the path of success or join the league of successful people.

What is your definition of success and what can you do to gain it?

What should you do that proves you are steadily working towards the success you desire?

Before you answer those questions , note that from the top of my knowledge and experience and after studying and listening to successful ones, I have come to realize that:

Success is not a tap that you open and the water starts flowing spontaneously.

Success is not mere dreams that you always keep under your mind’s carpet unscheduled, unchanged, unchecked, unachieved

Success is not simple wishes that you throw on yourself or others send you through whichever means

Success is not doing the same thing, the same way everyday

Success is not for those who are not deliberate or intentional about their daily activities

Now that you understood what success is not from my perspective which may be different from your line of thought , let’s talk about what it is.

Success is the the daily pursuit of excellence irrespective of irrespective of obstacles, setbacks, hardships that you encounter on your road

Yes,

Success belongs to those who wake up every morning and pursue their dreams regardless of any confrontations, difficulties, problems or issues

Success is for those who have grow and make their mind not to give up, not to give in and not to throw in the towel as, a boxer will do when he can sustain the punches of his opponent

Success is for those who always say “the game is not going to be over until I gain what I want”,

Success is for those who surrender from *” *what will people say syndrome” and stop moving on*

Success is for everyone. Yes it is for YOU too. Embrace it. Devise it. Imagine it. Create it and live in it.

Success is for you, never take it light. You have all Abilities and the potentials that have been endowed on you. Try hard to discover it and work on it day in, day out. **The Greatness within you is limitless ** and you deserve to be successful.

Again if you have any ideas, thoughts, definitions different from the above, you are free to express them in the comments. Your contributions may add more spice to the subject and make it more palatable.

What to do now?

Decide and *devise your definition of success and strive to work towards it to the best of your abilities, knowledge, experience and skills.

This is my advice to you, feel free to take it in, absorb it and digest it for the advancement of your business, life or any other course of endeavor you find yourself in or reject it.

As you go through the day, the week, the month and the rest of the year 2021,

Dare to be DIFFERENT .

Dare to be EXTRAORDINARY .

Dare to go EXTRA MILE

Dare to be INTENTIONAL OR DELIBERATE

Dare to CONSISTENT

Dare to be YOURSELF .

You’re more than what you are now

So make this week’s success counts for you and replicate it for the days, weeks, months and years to come in a strategic and tactical manner. You will be surprised by the results you will be getting.

Cheers.

The basic requirements for growth are desire and actions. However when your desire exceeds actions, the requirements won’t be met and growth would be hindered .

Some of us are too much consumed by the desire than putting in the actions required to give birth to the desired growth.

So, if you are concerned with changing levels rather than growing, please listen up- some levels are subjected to growth and not desire, because they can’t be handled with immaturity.

Therefore, it is essential that you’re grown into the stature of the level you have pictured before you can feature into it.

The reason is simple – you can’t operate a as a master in a filed with a baby’s mind. That’s would be the biggest disaster ever in your life. Kings reason, live or act correspondingly.

If you want to be a master, you need to gather the needed information, knowledge and experience before people will tag you as such.

You have to go through the process with all that it entails :depression at certain point, oppression another time, headaches, hustles, difficulties anything that can refine and position you as a master in the future.

Know that to move from one level to another , to climb the steps of a ladder in life, there is a sacrifice attached it. Some of them come in form of hard experiences meant to enlarge your capacity and prune you into shape like that tree at the roadside you admire a lot.

Give every word a meaning, learn how to grow with every comma, full stop, exclamation mark, question mark etc..

Anything that robs your peace, tranquility and comfort might be the right ingredients for the kind of growth required by the new level you want to reach. If you can’t endure it, forget about that desired growth you are longing for.

Know that some steps are sharp while others are steep. They become unfriendly causing your temperament. Therefore, you need to trim them well, pay rapt attention to them as you are climbing so that you stand still.

Unfortunately, some of us, merely have no accommodating capacity, yet we want to take the lead, command and give order. How can it happen successfully? Sometimes I feel like I am part of that group.

Some of us too find very difficult to manage relationships because we’ve unknowingly or knowingly stopped the process that might help us grow in that aspect. We taught we could do it alone. It will definitely bounce back.

Let’s say you leave in the same room with your friend, and one day you actually packed out of the room because you think your roommate is the most terrible and worst human being on earth while forgetting that you are not perfect as well.

If you start tagging people as such, you would like to live alone than mingling with people because they easily get on your nerves. But, stop and think : don’t you get on people’s nerves too? Or you are a saint. I don’t think so.

If you have resolved to climb a mountain for days, you will definitely burn some fat and dump some weight in the air before you reach your destination or achieve your goals.

If we badly hold on to those things, yet we desire new level, how will get there?

I hope by now, you have started thinking of your past, your current conditions, the way you go about things. That’s cool.

This means, wisdom is not acquired once for all. We grow everyday. That’s the principle of life. We all hope to be better day in day out even if many aspect of your life are not responding in affirmative to your desires.

Stupid ones analyse days, months and years of their life with usual false hope that things will get better the next day, month and year but the wise ones analyse each day, month and year of their life in such a way that they make the best from every moment. They don’t wish, they take action.

Don’t forget we are already in April and the year will end in 8 months time.

A new day should be a new you, and what you make out of it it matters a lot to your future life.

Be an action taker, a champion of the moment not the champion of the future you haven’t already seen and touched. Plan for the future but act daily to get there.

The only way to get there is to quit the fantasies and build your reality. Reality of the moment.

To sum up, these are things you can do

1-Get aligned with your maker.

Develop a cordial relationship with Him through which you can navigate the course of your existence.

Good success comes from God, not the ones that makes you rich with a touch of sorrow.

Stop believing the lies that you don’t need God to be successful.

2-Learn to grow with the commas, no level promises a smooth ride.

Stay active in the place of process rather than running away.

3-Be updated and versatile.

Learn skills, that’s the latest currency.

4-Read books:

It could be spiritual, financial, marital, leadership, career materials etc.

If you are an undergraduate, or graduate, these books will prepare you mind and get you ready for the desired growth you desire. Don’t wait till you graduate before you start making things happen or you have a problem before you start looking for solutions. They in those books.

5-Get trained and well groomed for the future before you.

6-Build your life with valuable resources.

7-And by all means, implement!

Getting results is not just about gathering knowledge, results can only be gotten from the knowledge you implement not the ones you document.

For me, I was interested in arts, engineering, construction, writing, etc. I wanted to do all these things together trying to connect them with my young mind. Just like Jack of all trades and master of all. Did it work for me as innocently planned? No, it didn’t. I failed so woefully. I hope you start thinking of your own situation. Feel to liberate your imagination. As you are plunging deep into your imagination, I will invite you to put yours with me. Now, just imagine that you were seated in that large conference room like me that day. This room was packed out with almost big names, renowned businessmen and women, and seasoned professionals. The energy and vibe in the hall were vibrant and desirable even enviable. Almost immediately, you noticed a nice, good-looking person climbing up the stage.

As the podium light flooded the floor the young man’s silhouette was now clear enough to be a young man. Unfortunately, there was a problem? You were asking who he was and what at all had he come to do there. The truth is that his name had never clung into your ears, neither mentioned. You started wondering if he was a TV, radio presenter, or on any other media platform. But, the reaction from others in the hall confirmed your assumptions and deductions. They were strongly validated. No one knew this young man. .In fact, the conversation and murmurs that were going on, showed clearly that he was unwanted there. The handsome young man who nobody knew picked up the microphone and started promoting his software. He talked, rambled for almost thirty minutes trying to convince and persuade the audience to patronize his new finding. Of course, people were bored to death. No positive reaction from the public. Finally, he exited the podium and his silhouette faded into the audience..

.Just after, John Obidi one of the most influential young men in Africa walked straight to the podium. As he was climbing up the steps, the boredom in the room immediately gave way to stand ovation and clapping. John Obidi then went ahead to do a short presentation and gladly introduced the same new software that the young man was fighting to push on the audience. He strongly encouraged them to purchase it. Now, I have a question for you. Who do you think will collect more sales after the ceremony? The fine, handsome young man or John Obidi? I think your answer will pair with mine.

John Obidi draws more people to him than the boy. But isn’t the same software? Yes, it is, but the difference lies in the person who presented it. The young man was unknown, not liked maybe, or not trusted. The second one, John Obidi was known, liked, and trusted. Consequently, he will draw massive attention and turn the audience into buyers. That’s why I am saying that if you are a newbie, following well-established, renowned and mentors will draw you closer to your goals.

If you follow them, you will be noticed, eventually liked, and trusted. You will get more clarity into turning your passion, experience, knowledge, talent, into a profitable business that generates cash on demand. Yes, they will pave the way for you.

Join their groups, attend their Masterclass or webinar. Make valuable contributions or comments on their posts. Show them that you are coming up and rightly following their footsteps. You will definitely be noticed one day and they by all means notify it to know in the long run. When they start to shout in out your name in their Webinars, training, mastermind, or Masterclass, you will be noticed ad notified

#COACH#COACHING ##MENTOR#INFLUENCERS

It’s a sad fact that over 12% of the world’s population, are unemployed and 10% out of the unemployed percentage, are doing nothing. That is to say, they are not unemployed, they are jobless. No means of getting anything cash.

Considering the current trend in the world today which is economic recession, many experts have actually held conferences upon conferences on how to tackle economic recession issues mostly in the business sectors; a neglected issue has been the tackling of the unemployment stigma in society.

These unemployed persons keep making search engines their best friends. For what?, you may ask.

Well the never-ending search on how to make money online, “is a never-ending search engine trend” of these set of people. They try to take advantage of today’s technology to see if they can make life easier for themselves.

Thanks to the internet, there are offline and online means of getting to pay. Getting paid here simply refers to the provision of services in exchange for the monetary value of the rendered service.

Thanks to the same internet, a lot of people still get confused when it comes to selecting an online business category or if we are to go by internet terms “niche”. This is because they seem to only get to see the “juicy parts” of those niches without bothering to know if there exist the” thorny aspects”. For the ones that later discover the thorny sides, their confusion levels further increase. And this is one thing that makes them try this and that until they reach an end of the road section and begin to wail.

The first step to follow in trying to strive in business is to actually check out what you are good at, then enhance it, and bam!!, you are on your first step. It may not be easy, but it is very much advisable to do so.

Nonetheless, I have handpicked a list of lucrative businesses or “niches” you can start with today and you will get results as soon as possible. I didn’t put a number tag to the post title like 50 Lucrative…., this is because there is room for further research, brainstorming, and update.

I must warn that starting an online business is not as easy as it seems to be when you tend to hear about the earnings of someone who may be earning a five-figure monthly or yearly income as the case may be. It is difficult in its early stages and needs a lot of hard work, in fact being an employee is much easier than running an online business because, you must try your possible best to always keep up with trends, especially in the category you belong to. As far as you decide to involve yourself or your business with the internet, you must be on your toes at all times.

Please note I didn’t give a specific time frame. I am not going to promise you something that is pure fiction but, something worthwhile based on research, extra reading, and application.

The below-handpicked business categories are in no order of importance, as well, you should choose one or two you are good at. They are more or less what I call professional online businesses.

Every day, new websites pop up. Sometimes these websites are a result of new companies, already existing companies that want to reach out to the world, schools, celebrities, etc. If you are a good web designer, you can start this as a side business if you are working or as a full-time business, if you tend to make a living out of it. There are online platforms to learn web design like Udemy and Treehouse that can teach you a lot about web design if you are a novice or you want to up your skills. There is also web design software that makes web design as easy as snapping your fingers: Softwares like WebPage Maker, Web Easy, Xara Web design Software, and a host of others.

Article Writing.

Everything on the internet now requires writing. A lot of people earn a full-time income from writing articles alone. If you are a pro in writing, then you can visit freelance writing sites and forums or sites that pay writers to write in order to get paid after writing. Twitter and LinkedIn are equally two handy tools that come into the minds of article writers who wish to make an honest living from article writing.

Real Estate Consultant.

With almost everyone in the world today buying and selling properties, a lot of opportunities are open to experts who know how to handle financial, commercial, and legal real estate aspects. A website can actually be run by a professional real estate consultant, who may even end up being a coach to fresh real estate consultants.

Blogging.

What are you passionate about? What drives your subconscious? If you can pinpoint this, then you need to start a blog. The persistent increase in the knowledge base level of life and its activities is blogging. (Uhm, that’s my definition though). You can create a blog solely with the aim of covering that topic which is your passion. It could be a hobby, but can eventually start paying you handsomely when you hit it right.

Graphics Design.

With the advent of new businesses that require stunning graphics to exist, graphics design is one of the best online businesses to start. But hey! you may scale on the 40 -45% rating when it comes to graphics design, you can visit YouTube to watch “how to design —– with adobe photoshop or adobe illustrator”. It’s left for you to pick one. There is other graphic design software out there; like Corel Draw, Paint.net, etc.

Online Coaching.

Just like blogging, what are you passionate and skilled about that, you can place yourself as a coach for others to learn from?. With the combination of expert skill and passion, you can offer online one-on-one coaching. All you need to do is to have a properly structured plan for putting your skills and experience to work by developing an online coaching business.

Social Media Manager.

Many of us usually spend 60% of our daily time on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, and LinkedIn, to mention but a few, it’s a good thing though. I mean having the ability to possess or harness a multitude of followers on social media is not an easy thing especially if you are advanced in age say in the age bracket of the 50s and above, you will need to actually “go to a social media skill school”. But that’s not the case for young fellows who within the twinkle of an eye, garner social media presence without breaking a sweat. Why not get paid for your social media skills? There are startup companies that need to make their presence known globally and social media is the major and basic platform for such a launch. Flexjobs and CareerBuilder are places where you can find such opportunities.

E-book Writing.

With the advent of technology and the e-world, writing and publishing your own books, are as easy as writing and uploading. Packaging your skills and knowledge into a downloadable eBook that delivers valuable content to those seeking to learn a skill, advance in their careers, or start their own businesses, makes for a strong value proposition if you target the right audience.

App Development.

These days, there seems to be an app for everything. Be it on the iOS platform, Android OS, Windows OS, or Linux OS, there’s a catch here to always earn from those platforms, if you are yet to get international with your coding skills, now is the best time. Just make sure you get your hands dirty enough before getting clients.

Teaching DIYs and E-courses.

Everyone these days wants to be able to solve most of their issues themselves without paying a dime to anyone, for instance, I learned my web design skills from YouTube without having to pay someone $200 for something he or she may not be able to deliver properly when it comes to my taste. If you a pro at something, why not start an e-course site like Udemy or create a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) site with a monetization strategy of making available quality-not-so-complete content for the free or basic plan, then create the complete version as a premium affordable content?.

E-Commerce.

These days working-class folks find it difficult to walk into physical stores to purchase their needs. As well most products these physical stores sell, are actually purchased online and shipped to them. Some people (myself included) research products they intend to buy in terms of reviews, price, and durability. All these are made possible via e-commerce. It’s either you start up your own micro e-commerce site; which entails sales of a particular category of products like apparel, body accessories, electronics, or anything that comes to mind. (I chose micro e-commerce sites due to the ambiguous and stressful nature of starting a mega e-commerce site where you sell everything sell-able) or you can actually look for existing e-commerce sites that allow third-party sellers. In this case, all you need to do is to source for your CHEAP and QUALITY goods from CREDIBLE sources. The bold words are very important in the e-commerce business, miss them and miss out.

Affiliate Marketing.

I know you’d say in your mind, ‘urggh!! here we go again, can’t we go a day on the internet without hearing affiliate marketing’?. Well be a hater of the fact or not, there are people who have their major income stream or financial breakthrough from affiliate marketing. This simply means the selling of someone else’s product for an agreed commission rate to be paid to you when people buy those products from the link you provide. If you play your cards well, you will be on your way to liberation from unemployment issues.

Online businesses never got better, with the way global economic crisis keep springing up, self-employment is the key surviving instinct that will keep many going.

ACTION TAKERS, Where are you? Which one are going to start today?

Do you need help and assistance for anyone of them to scale it up and take it online in order to start making money?

Which one do you want to learn now if you don’t have the requisite skills for it?

I want to hear from now.

Take ACTION. Take Action. Take Action

Listening is an important factor in learning and teaching or impacting knowledge. It can also hugely influence one’s prospects for survival in life. To benefit from any programme, meeting or event you attend much depends on how you listen.

Listening involves lots of variables.

Let’s dive into them.

1-Heart-Prepare your heart

If you don’t prepare your heart to listen, you will hear what has been said but fail to act correspondingly.

So open you heart to take in, digest and remember the message given to you at the first place wherever you find yourself.

This will help you to appreciate the efforts, time and sacrifices people put in to give you or impact that knowledge on you.

Preparing the heart also means to get ready to listen.

Take this example: If you are talking with someone on phone and you didn’t prepare you hard to listen, this is what happens: the only thing the other person may hear will be yes, hmm, okay, I hear and the likes. This is because you didn’t want to listen or engage in the conversation. You didn’t prepare your heart to listen. You didn’t open you heart to listen. You were not ready to listen.

2-Eyes

The eyes strongly influence where we focus our attention .Use them to help you focus by keeping them on the speaker, the trainer or the coach who is giving you the message or taking you through the programme or the event you are partaking .

When any reference is given, and you have the opportunity or chance to look it up, do check it immediately and follow along with the presenter.

Sometimes, you have to resist the urge to turn your head in the direction of every noise or movement happening inside or outside.

The eyes can inundate your mind with distracting news or remembrances. In this case, you miss much of the things being presented.

3-The mind

Our mind may be stormed with lots of things amongst others anxieties, difficulties noise, movement inside or outside the place where you are. It could be a classroom, a meeting place, entertainment place or any other settings. Those disturbances may distract and distort you listening and attention.

If you are at place where some of the audience have babies or younger children, it could be another attention distorter.

So if it happens that way, what can keep you focus, attention and increase your listening span?

Just mentally respond to questions, listen carefully to comments given any time you can.

These variables are intertwined and interwoven. They don’t work separately. No! They work together or concomitantly.

Let’s take a scenario: If you have been in courtship with a girl in view of marriage, you would have noticed how important the different variables mentioned earlier had contributed to the success of your plans. If one of them lacked, you might have ended up breaking up or abandoned your adventure.

This shows how helpful and fruitful these variables enable active listening and living a fulfilled life.

So next time you are engaging someone or you are engaged, actively use them.

But, don’t only listen to people; listen to the nature and the creation around us. They have lots to teach us.

Yesterday our new General Manager called me into his office to enquire about what I do in the school and tell him about my vision as a teacher in this complex, multicultural and multilingual football academy.

After we finished, he asked “do you have any advice for me”?

I answered,” listen, listen, and just listen”.

“Why should I listen “he hurriedly asked?

Do you know how I answered to his question?

Ok. If you want to know, please read this article to the end because the answer will be provided at the bottom of this piece.

We all need a listening ear to move forward.

If you are a teacher, you will understand it better. As teachers, we use this word repeatedly throughout the day. We want our students to listen and pay attention to us while we are delivering our lessons.

As a teacher listening to you students will rapidly foster and accelerate their educational progress. It will ensure that all these young people develop the necessary skills they need for a fast- changing world we find ourselves in.

If you are a student, you wish, your teachers listened more and more to your concerns and abilities and treat you as individual not as a group.

If you are a leader, listening to your subordinates will help you give them the necessary tools and means to achieve their assigned tasks and goals.

If you are a worker, you may love that your boss listens and understands your heartfelt desires so that it minimizes your concerns, difficulties and what a view for the better advancement of the work you are doing.

If you are parent, listening carefully to your kids’ problems and concerns will help you dive deep into their inner circle and find sustainable solutions for them. It will even help design some action plans for their future.

As kids, we all wish our parents listened to our pleas and grievances with the aim that they give us more freedom or liberty.

As you can see, we all need to listen to each other.

Are you colleagues? Listening will remove misunderstandings, build confidence and trust for a better cohesion and collaboration at the workplace.

Are you a marketer in this digital era?

Listening will help you to better understand you potential customers’ problems and design a better offer to meet their needs.

Are you a writer?

Listening will help you craft nice pieces that your readers will love and learn from. They will adulate you because your book meets their needs and can solve their problems if they apply what you prescribed.

In all kind of work, listening is key. It is primordial. It opens door. Lack of listening leads to arrogance, failure, misunderstanding, conflict even war.

So listen, listen, and just listen before you act.

Now this was what I replied to our new General Manager.

“I have been working here for the past seven years. You are the third manager who came for this position. None of the past ones demanded to talk to us individually neither asked for advice as you are doing now. That shows you are ready to listen.

Moreover, for the past years, the communication between the top management and the base seemed to be one way.

This state of affairs lead to backbites, murmurings etc…

I saw many prolific and desirable workers leave this place just because they felt they were not listened to the way it should be”

I commended him for his move and urged him to continue in the same line.

He also thanked me for my openness and confidence.

In conclusion, the next time, you sit next to someone, you go for a programme, you are at your workplace, and you have training, or deliver a speech: listen or pay an attentive ear to you audience, what it happening beside you.

You have a lot to gain than to lose.

By TAMOSKOFF

Indeed, we all have something small or big to offer to the world. For instance You behavior can inspire or motivate someone.

The way you talk can be a source of motivation to someone.

The diligence you display at work can be a lesson for someone else.

The happiness and joy you show around yourself , the smile throw everyday can be a source of energy, lighten and brighten someone’s day.

You might not notice how impcatful your actions, your deeds, your messages, a simple conversation, and a contribution during the day a meeting, a positive comment can be a source of encouragement to neighbors.

For some people, this intrinsic qualities, values are hidden. It needs to be awakened.

For others, their natural abilities, talents, skills, charisma don’t need to be worked on. They reveal it the world instantly.

In spite of all this, where yours lie?

If you are naturally endowed and you know it, use it, explore it more and more, and display it. Find a niche to work it out and contribute your quota to the edification of the others

If yours is hidden and you don’t know it, that is fine. It can be revealed to you by others. The first group can be of help and assistance. You can also easily discover it through coaching, training and mentoring, tests etc..
They will teach you how to bring it out the best way and leverage on it.

Today opportunities are many and varied: watch TV, listen to radio, read books, magazines, newspapers, workbooks take part into competitions and games. There you can easily discover your passion and follow it.

There are Webinars,Masterclass, mastermind, free or paid all over the world. Be in watch of them. They can be a great source for you.

You can forcibly need to have money. I guess each and every one can have access to at least one of these medium in one way or the other. If you didn’t have any of them at your disposition, a friend can offer to help you if asked for with due respect.
You don’t have to any excuse to take the opportunity that comes your way.

Stand up, link up with the like minded people. Explore all the avenues offered to you by life and the social media.

Today platforms, forums, groups, associations are every where on the net. Locate the one that can help you achieve your goals or tap into your talents and skills.

To list a few, you have Facebook, Snapchat, Whatsapp, LinkedIn, Weechat, YouTube etc…You can learn to discover yourself through them. All that you may need is data. Finish.

What is your situation now? Are you struggling to meet the end of the month?

So if you are actively looking for opportunities? Don’t sit down – – Stand up, go for them. Yes, you can. But in all, don’t forget to give praise to the CREATOR.

 The heck is he is reluctant to take his business online. Consequently, the decline in customers and the low patronage of his business have been his friends. Wherever he goes they follow him. He has forgotten that the whole world is going digital and so our business and all the other aspects. Unfortunately, he is not alone in this situation. Lots of people around the world are in the same boat and don’t still understand the relevance and the benefits of taking their business online. Digital Change is hard for some people, but it is indispensable and unavoidable especially in this 21st century. 

Remember that the stone age ended not because there were no more stones. The stones were widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. That period lasted for 3.4 million years according to the historians and ended between 8, 700 BCE and 2000 BCE, with the advent of metalworking. As I said said, it is not because the stones are no more, they were, there was a need for change. So it happened. Everyone had to follow the trend. 

Our  forbearers did things in certain ways doesn’t mean you should continue on that path. Example, that your parents lived in mud houses does not mean you should continue to live in mud houses, in this era of sophisticated construction materials. If your parents were doing backyard farming, it doesn’t mean that you should continue in the same way. No you can go on a revolutionized and modernized big scale farming using the same latest digit technology in existence. 

See the ages man has evolved through Man has evolved through the Stone age, bronze & iron age, the steel age (industrialization). We’re in the oil age interwoven with the information technology doubled with artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality are on the digital table. 

Embrace them. Ditch out the old system in you. 
Today internet has opened lots of opportunities for everyone. Everyone can get to the highest level on the ladder irrespective of their gender, racial background, social status, and place of residence. 
Such people get left behind and suffer poverty. They suffer for nothing while there are simple ways to make work easy and money easily on the internet. 

BUSINESSES have gone digital. Yes, money is taken in the air, stores are established in the air, people stay in a remote village and own shops in counties they have never and might never be visited. Journalists can work for companies in different countries while staying in their rooms. 
Nowadays, elections are conducted in the air, conferences and huge meetings are organized in the air. Everything is in the air. 
I remembered in the middle of the Covid-19, I attended an online training in which 860 participated. The Trainer was sitting on his bed and collected our money. That’s the beauty of going digital with your skills, talents, and passion. Reading and writing have gone online. Selling and Buying have gone online. Groups have gone online. Newspapers have gone online. The umcoiled.com is part of the trend. You can patronize it and read articles from various writers from different backgrounds enriched with all the tastes you will prefer.
People close huge deals and make cool cash in the air. 

Life has become really simple and easy if well used and planned strategically. The faster you catch up the better.

Not going online is a  lame excuse one can give at this time. Stop the excuses. Learn a new skill. Go digital and ripe the benefits. It might not happen overnight, but it will definitely come your way if your put your mind to it and assiduously working towards it. Make it your goal and dream. 

The man that I talked about at the beginning has learned his lesson and embraced the digital age after going through coaching and online training, he is now making 10 times what he was making before.

You can! If only you want to. Where there is a will there is a way. 

Be ready to move with the times you are in or you suffer the consequences.

On the other hand, so far as you set those goals yourself, it means you are willing to work towards them and ready to make the necessary adjustments, sacrifice, and effort to make them happen. In spite of this, I will urge you to pause, stop and think about the following questions. Very important.

After one month and half in 2021, what have you achieved so far?

Where have reached and how are you evaluating and assessing yourself and your results?

How resolved and determined are you to happily see the end of the 2021 tunnel if it were one?

If the answers to these questions are negative or you are not sure of them, please do well to fully engage your mind to understand each and every point presented in this article. It is vital for you.

In fact, there are lots of things I would like to say to you this morning as at the time I penned it down, but I cannot pour down all now. Whenever this post reaches you either in the afternoon or evening, give it the seriousness it deserves and treat it as an emergency. This post is a harbor of powerful words that can transform or change and bring new lights in the course of your business or plans.

The last thing I would say before running down my thoughts is the decision to take, absorb, digest and implement my points is absolutely at your discretion. You can decide to take action or ignore them. Before you proceed, please do me a favor and read up this write up to the last letter. It won’t do you any harm, you will rather gain since I am highly confident in the power and the impact of my write-ups. Now that you are set, let’s start.

For the rest of the months to come, don’t just dance to the tune of the music you hear, but think of creating your own song that will be danced on.. Create your own products or services either physical or digital and take them to the market.
Blow the marketing horn over them tirelessly and draw people to you. They will definitely dance to your tune, even better open their wallet, debit their cards to acquire them.

Don’t just watch people accomplish things, but decide to become whom people will line up to watch and admire… It is good to admire others, but it is better to be admired too. The positive pride, the joy, and the happiness that come after are worth trying. Just imagine how much impact you are making on others’ life who are always ready to line up and eager to gain something from you that can change their life. It is a great source of fulfillment.

Those goal, expectations, dreams and visions in your heart and your mind are anxiously crying out and calling for prompt Execution or Implementation and that’s where Profits and money come into your pocket. Beware.

Know that the visions, ideas, dreams, and expectations that you have conceived in your heart and mind have a date of birth. And you are the one who should give them the birth date. But the earlier they are birthed out, the more adjustments you will make on them and the better results you will see in the process. Do not hesitate to push out. Be like that pregnant woman in the labor ward ready to push out and see her baby coming out, holding him or her in her hands
with a large smile in the face. The strength to birth them lies in you.

Make a step at a time. Just take one of those visions, ideas , thoughts, dreams and expectations and create visibility and marketability around it. You can use your tablet or computer depending on the one you use . Sometimes, it may seem difficult, even impossible to accomplish, but don’t be afraid to fail. Failure is perfectly acceptable in the process. Be ready to learn, unlearn and relearn because you are moving forward to approach your outstanding success you are waiting for ..

Act professionally, productively and smartly fast towards those small portions of the bigger goal you want to achieve as described earlier . It is easier, simpler and faster that way.

Make a firm commitment to reading books that align with your dreams, goals, resolutions this year… Maybe you want to meet someone you admire his success and prowess as your role model. That’s great. You can do that by laying hands on his books, articles, write ups, podcasts, video content, lessons and courses. His webinars, Masterclasses, masterminds will be useful and helpful to you. And by doing so you will have a great and insightful encounter with him…
His books will talk to you as if you are in front of him. His thoughts, ideas and wisdom are buried in that book. Dig them and you will have what you need for that push you always wanted from him ! Start meeting him in your mind through his books and articles before the physical one o one encounter …Simply stated, that way will shave you off the learning curve. Nevertheless you will have sharpened your mind with on the positive side … Surprisingly enough you can flow with him when the memorable one o one encounter day happens!

Be gracefully always busy working day in day out in a strategic manner towards your plans. Put another way, Embrace and Engage them consistently and assiduously.

Be in the watch of the little progress you make for every step you take. It is the most compelling evidence that you are heading in the right direction. Never demean it.

Giving up is a choice but not the best option . No frustration, problems, setbacks or difficulties along the line shouldn’t hold you back and rob you off the good work you have started and you are struggling to achieve. With this in mind, foresee the bigger plan and the happiness that follows when you stand the odds.

Never belittle th

e help from others if necessary. You cannot get all alone. The key point is that no one is an island of knowledge and experience . If you don’t know, you don’t know ask. Don’t be afraid of what people will think. A great future might be in the help

Never feel intimidated by the hardest situation you may find yourself in. So far as others are doing it, tell yourself, I can too. Indeed, It’s just a stepping stone to your breakthrough …

Make God your ultimate Support and put Him first in whatever you do. Lean on Him. This point is often overlooked by many. Truly that’s the First and Last of any Unending SUCCESS…

Finally, Keep on learning and discovering new things in your niche. Invest in yourself and in your business if the need arises. In other words, remember that there are things you must unlearn and relearn and this only happens when you continue learning no matter what happens.

I hope if you give a second thought to these tips and tricks, you can easily become better at what you do, and end successfully the year 2021 on a good note full of plausible and unimaginable results you might not think of at the first glance.

Thanks for reading. Please share, comment and don’t forget to apply them.

Unfortunately, those who don’t have any value to offer, use dubious, fraudulent, and illegal methods and ways to get it which is severely punishable by law. I hope you are not one and guess you are not planning to join that group.

Now sincerely ask yourself, if you want to have money, how valuable are you?  How valuable are your skills, experience, knowledge, and talents? What are you putting on the market that people will buy and get be happy with? Are you sure that people will be ready to open their wallets and buy that skill, that knowledge, that talent or product and services you have created? Take the case of a job seeker. If a company hires you, it is not about your beauty or good looking aspect. No, it is about what you are bringing on board to help in the advancement or development of their business. It is about your personality and your growth mindset. Yes, it is about your character and intrinsic soft skills that will boost the visibility, marketability, and overall performance of the company or organization. What is your interpersonal communication skills? Companies need people who can adjust and fit into a culturally diverse environment. And if you meet their expectations and are ready to go the extra mile, they will pay you the needed money. That’s why if you are looking for jobs these days, ask yourself how indispensable are you for the job market? 
Remember that money follows value. 

Read this illustration. 
If I am thirsty at a time on a hot afternoon, then it becomes obvious that I need chilled water especially if I am in tropical weather. If someone offers that chilled water to me at that instant, then the water is very valuable to me.

So I wouldn’t hesitate to pay to obtain that value. Stop, Think at this point. Then, ask your self today what value are you giving?

Consequently, if you have not built value inside of you, then you can’t give value out. This is what is called the inside-outside approach. What you have within you, that what you display outside. 

If you can’t give value out, then you can’t be paid any fee, which means that you can not find the key to your financial breakthrough.
Besides, find people who would teach, coach, mentor you with high-income skills today that would make you valuable on the market and lets you make genuine money online if that is your goal or offline if that’s where you feel comfortable. In all, you need to take your products and services online one day or the other. But the problem is you need to take action now. Start working towards that immediately.  

After acquiring those skills, you would become valuable. Then you would offer your value and be paid a fee for it either working on your own or for someone. 

What does this mean for you? It means that life has so many uncertainties and the one who will succeed need to have more value than certificates, diplomas. 

Again, to have more money to flex, take care of family, take your spouse out on that special day is equally related to how indispensable and valuable you you have become.

These days, I take my time to think about life and its mysteries, discoveries, plunges, depths, widths, heights, and lengths. I am still on it. I know God has created human beings and has a purpose for us. As each one of us is going through his or her life journey on earth, there are some alarming messages of which we need to apply and practice its curbings. In fact, I have noticed that we should beware of brambles in our lives. They are many and varied and ironically come in different forms and fonts. Some are awesome and others are ugly.

Some can be helpful and useful while others are destructive and constitute a nuisance for our life. Decipher the right ones and live by them. Remember they are many and varied and hence cannot be easily discovered since they can be cunningly dissimilated. I have experienced this last week on my Facebook group.

Fortunately anything that captivates you, cultivates you. We all have a gift but our attitude fights giftings because what inspires you, instructs you.

Another thing that caught my attention as I was plunged in my thoughts is that value is measured by what you are willing to spend for something.
If you make yourself valuable and indispensable, people will notice it through your deeds and actions. Become like water. Make yourself in great demand like water. Be in high demand and supply like water. Make yourself special like water.

So ask yourself, what’s so special about you that the world will miss if you’re not present? What are you bringing on board that people will miss if you not there? Change your character and work towards positivity. Flee away from negativity and pessimistic thinking. Arm yourself with all the positives in spite of all situational circumstances. Be ready. You must endeavor to a breakthrough in a positive way. Halt following these stupid so-called friends and get comrades who are positively spirited. Quit following these losers and grow up dear.

This is another thing that marveled my mind. You dress the way you want to be addressed. Behave the way you want people to honor you, and you will gain that respect and honor you were fighting for.

People think that it is only, fights, insults, war, menaces, and other violent means that will bring them respect, honor, and glory. To them, I say no. You don’t need to deploy all those armadas. It is about your words, your seeds, and deeds. People will subjugate you today, but tomorrow, they may not. Your power may fade off and you will lose your affluence and influence. Do the way you perceive yourself, the same way, people will perceive you. The way you impose yourself, the same way, people will give you the needed attention.

These are my thoughts, reflections, and ideas. You are free to take them or not. Bear in mind, it’s just my observations and have decided to share them to those wanting to see positive change in their life

Thanks for reading.
