SOMETIMES LEAVE THE MONEY ON THE TABLE

I recently watched a video on YouTube  about some of the crazy things people have done for money. It sucks that so many people have totally lost all sense of ethics cos they wanna "get it" In my opinion,  you don't need to lose yourself to get da big bucks.
-
-
Here's a key to wealth (ZIG ZIGLAR): "If you help enough people get what they want, you'd have everything you want"
IN OTHER WORDS,
"The money will come in large massive amounts when you give people value in large massive amounts"
-
-
Here's another key to happiness (Jim Rohn): "Don't sell out your virtues your values in pursuit of success"... I mean.. what good is it to gain the whole world and lose your own soul?

TRUTH: MOST PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CRAP.

Just sitting here right now thinking about life... and how most people are just full of BS.


Excuse the language, but I SEE THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME... People talking about how they want to impove their lives from a monetary standpoint, yet they're  out spending every bit of cash they get on shoes, clothes and gadgets they can't really afford...


I can spend just 10 minutes talking to you and (if we have a honest conversation) be able to tell what you're really committed to.


By listening to what you talk about, AND observing what you DO consistently. I can tell what you really want and believe you can have.


The biggest mind shift I made in 2012 was realizing that in order to have a different result than everyone else, I had to learn not to behave or act like everyone else.


WOULD YOU rather spend a fortune on a watch so you can show it off, rather than invest it into proven avenues Guaranteed to earn you even more?


ARE YOU LIKE the man or woman who says they want to improve their bank accounts and earn more money, but yet you sleep 10 hours a night and really have nothing going on??
••

THEN you're like a man or woman who says they want to normalize their weight, but everytime you see them, they're eating..
°

OBVIOUSLY, in both cases, you can tell what they're really committed to: Being BROKE and OBESE for the rest of their lives respectively..


You don't have to listen to what people say, just take a look at what they DO.


That always says a lot.
••

And FINALLY, remember that results do not lie. If you don't yet have what you desire, then something has to change/improve.

Keep working hard Rockstar!

My 5 Biggest Lessons Learnt in the year 2017 (2)


My 5 Biggest Lessons Learnt in the year 2017 (2)


 I am Olorunfemi Ajao ,a contributing writer on this blog. I will love to share some of the lessons I learnt in 2017 with you. I will be sharing them in no particular order.






1) Rome was not built in a day : I used to be someone with a lot of plans(I still am). The problem is ,I loved to see my plans come into reality in a shorter time than they should take normally. Whenever there was  no result I got frustrated and dropped the plan. Well,I experienced a turn around in the course of this year. I went to a programme in Ayoola's church (Dynamo weekend) . Ayoola took one of the sessions and he talked about "slight edge principle" That changed everything. He made reference to the popular saying "Rome was not built in a day" and added that  blocks were laid daily. This showed consistency. He cited the example of how he wanted to loose weight at some point and he had to tell himself,"you didn't add this weight in one day,so definitely you can't lose it in a day . " I remember he said 'slight edge' was about adding a little to what you are comfortable with already. Guess what ?you can apply it in your academics ,reading your bible,saving money. So I say to myself "you can't get  there in one day,but today's activity will get you closer "






2) God does not only know your end but He also has the plan : I like to use the jollof rice analogy😁. God knows I  am  going to need jollof rice ,He also knows how to prepare the jollof rice. Why don't I hang on while He prepares the jollof rice? Instead of snatching the recipe and go around looking for someone to help me cook it. The person may not even know how to cook and possibly will not tell me but just do a guess work and spoil the bill of rice.






3) It is good to follow up on plans : It is a good idea to have plans but it is
 best when you have a follow up on the plans . So that each time you fall short of your plans you can get right on track. But how do you do that if you are not following up? Ask questions like "have I done this today?" If You haven't,"isn't now the best time to do it? "...etc







4) Surround yourself with people of like minds :You know,I have been wanting to lose some weight but I get tired along the way...because there were no 'people of like minds'. When I got to my room I found out my roommates wanted to workout (most of them to keep fit). My exercise began and my roommates were my driving force whenever I got tired and wanted to give up. There were days I had to encourage them too. We watched each others back. I encourage you to surround yourself with people of like minds,people who see the possibility in what you are set out to achieve.(special shoutout to Adunola,you challenged  and most importantly supported me😚 )  The people around me  coupled  with slight edge principle made me achieve my weight loss goal and of course I prayed about it. Funny right?That brings me to my last but most important lesson.






5) Prayer changes everything : I see God as a friend that I can share anything on my mind with. Prayer changes everything. It can never be over emphasized.

My 5 Biggest Lessons From 2017


Hello readers,Happy new year!2018 promises to be a great year. You do not need the "new year,new me" cliché , just be a better you. I believe you have learnt some things in the past year and if you employ them well  you can get better. Well,well, I will be sharing with us 5 big lessons I learnt in the year 2017 ( in no particular order )


1) No one owes you anything : It's commonly  said that life is not fair. Well, I have discovered that life is fair to those that are intentional about it. It is up to you to go out there and get what you want. You don't have to wait for someone to dish it out for you because really nobody will . When this 'dishing' doesn't happen, a lot of people get frustrated. No one is going to hand over what you want to you. You basically have to find your way to get it.


2) You can't make anyone do anything for you : What I mean is you can be nice to people,you can be polite ,you can be a great person but you cannot make anyone do anything for you. When you realize this and you are at peace with this fact, it makes a lot of things easy. I mean,you do not get stressed when people behave or do not behave in a certain manner . You do not feel bad when things don't go exactly the way you want or planned it. You have to realize that the only person you can control is YOU.


3) Sometimes you have to walk away from people you love because they are toxic to you : I mean people that are close to you, people that have 'won' a space in your heart and you later realize that they are not good for you .This is because the world does not care who it is that is holding you back ,success does not care.That they are toxic to you does not make them bad people,it only means they do not help you to be your best. Whoever it is you have to walk away from,do so! So you can move forward .


4) Health matters : As a matter of fact, health is a big deal. It does not matter who you are or how much you have,if you do not pay attention to your health you cannot have a good day. It should be your priority of course after your faith. For me,my faith comes first,then my health and family. Yes,health before family because without good health you cannot relate with your family. Make sure you take good care of yourself.


5) Loyalty : Loyalty is really really scarce. You should cherish,nourish the few people who are loyal to you.
Basically,these are the 5 lessons that I learnt this year.
Please Do well to share the lessons you learnt in the year 2017. I look forward to your responses. Do have a great year ahead.
