Is Your 2020 Dream About To Fail Again? Do This Now

For those currently praying and fasting for a great 2020 year, if you don’t include this one thing to all that you’re doing for the next 30 to 40 days, believe this or not.

Failure is imminent.

In 2013, precisely on the 1st day of January, I woke up and went straight to the desk right in front of me, where I dumped everything on as soon as I’m in my bedroom.

On that desk, was a notepad and a pen. Of course, rising straight from my bed to the desk was orchestrated by a decision I made while in bed.

I woke up feeling unfulfilled. I woke up feeling a life crumbled and looking aimless.

So, I sprung out of my bed to make the usual new year resolution.

As my pen got wrapped in my fingers, I began to write.

The first thing was to undertake the full fasting routine, which I had never done completely before then.

This year was going to be a straight-jacketed one. Beginning to the End of the show.

And as I was writing, by the side of the fasting, I wrote in bracket “This is a MUST”.

And true to it, I kept my words.

Every other goal for the year was written, and I began to do what I would always do to achieve it.

Dream It!!!

For the first 31 days of January, I was battling with preparing the business plan. I went online and paid a software company to prepare me a business plan, that I never used because I didn’t even understand how it applies to me.

I called on a friend who had once assisted in preparing my company profiles to guide me, and he did his best.

February rolled in and I was reminiscing on the next line of action, and I realized I was just jumping from one end of the wall to another in a bid to avoid the hard works.

I finally, settled down in the later part of the year after I had jumped endlessly from one wall to another when I got into the hands of a life coach who began to work on me.

What I discovered was pathetic and I see a lot of people having this same problem.

During all these years and months of praying and fasting, I was without a genuine plan to succeed.

I had lots of big goals, big dreams, but none had a graph. None had a process, none had what I needed as my own contribution to achieving those goals.

I wondered at some point if God was actually listening to me. Or maybe I didn’t conduct myself properly during the fasting and praying times.

I even concluded at a point that life was actually more about luck. About connections, about some family backgrounds and more.

Little did I know that success comes with its formula.

Let me make a clear and vivid example here today.

Let’s take for instance that you planned to become a medical doctor. That’s the ultimate Goal.

The purpose has to be something you are passionate about. And for Doctors, it’s about saving lives. For some deeper purposes, it’s about helping those who cannot afford the high cost of health services.

But as great as those Goals, Purposes, Desires and whatever may be, there is a formula to achieving it.

First, it’s the time frame required.

That’s definitely about 6 to 9 years of your time isn’t it?

So, right in your mind, even when the desire to start helping to save lives, you can’t start it in a day. You’ve got to nurse it.

During the period of nursing this dream or goals, you’ll need a secondary school certificate for sciences with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, English inclusive.

After that stage, you’ll need to get a jamb exam passed. Then go onto a Medical School. At 300 Level, you will proceed for Horsemanship. Then, come back to complete the other few years left. In the Nigerian System, you’ll proceed to get your National Youth Service Program done.

Other stages in the medical field will apply afterward.

And then finally, you can start executing your long term goals of saving lives.

There is no amount of prayers you would do, to attain this feat if you failed to take the steps I have mentioned.

And key among these steps is the acquisition of the required knowledge and its application.

That’s about DOING….. Taking Massive Actions.

Listen to me today, at the end of your fasting and prayers, if you fail to have a goal it is disastrous. If you also fail to know the exact steps to take, the times to take these steps,  and the needed skills to acquire for these dreams, goals or desires to be achieved it is a serious problem.

And most disastrous of all, is your failure to then take ACTIONS….. I mean MASSIVE ACTIONS.

So, today I want you to bear this in mind.

Those goals that you have, are really great.

There is nothing impossible to achieve in life especially with God on your side.

But do not pray without work.

Do not exercise faith without work.

There is no magic in accomplishing task. It all comes at a cost and the cost is in the work you put in.

Finally, I will leave you with these steps to follow as you make your 2020 a remarkable year.

First, Dream Big…..

Secondly, draw out your plans to include;

  1. Your Purpose For The Big Dream
  2. The Time Frame Required To Achieve It
  3. The Various Stages To The End Goal
  4. The Various Skills Required To Achieve Each Stage
  5. The Various Mentors You Can Work With To Achieve Each Stage
  6. Start Working
  7. Then Pray and Fast Fervently Till Forever…

 

Thank you for reading…….

I hope this goes a long way to help you in 2020.

Do you have something to add to this?

Let me also learn from your experiences about how you actualized your Goals in 2019.

How To Start A Business Without Money – Facts You Need To Know

The first mistake I made in trying to start a business was resigning from my high paying job with a lot of money and then losing everything.

In case you need to know. I was a Branch Manager with Diamond Bank years ago, and I took a decision to resign from the bank to start up my entrepreneurial dream life. So you can imagine when I said my high paying job now right?

It didn’t go down well at first because I was indeed a learner on the street.

Well, thanks to the books I read, the coaches and mentors and of course overall my willingness to succeed in the face of total defeat.

And largely thanks to God Almighty who saw my ignorance and overlooked it.

If not for these, by now I would have been dead, buried and forgotten forever.

Indeed when Napoleon Hill said anyone has the power to think and grow rich – He had indeed seen the evidence of it and the power of thoughts as the most important tool that separates the rich from the poor. Same thoughts separate the hard worker from the smart & hard worker.

I love to tell my story every day because I know a whole lot of you might just be excited by the wealth of people and you think they arrived there by accidents.

In fact, when you listen to a lot of successful people today, you might be scared of taking the path.

But I’ll tell you this.

“No path is too dangerous to take when the PASSION for FREEDOM is topmost on your mind.”

As a young banker coming from a poor family background, I wanted to be rich enough to take care of my aged parents, uncles, aunts, younger siblings, and if possible support my older siblings too, whose jobs are basically civil service and you know what that means right? PENSION.

That’s a word I have come to hate because of how our dear parents are being treated at old age in the name of PENSION.

Tell me why someone like you won’t just sue the Government for suffering your parents in the name of regular confirmation of pensioners? Or even tell your parents to abandon the F**King policy so you pay them from your pocket because you’ve got the money?

That’s by the way….

So as I was saying, the thought of overcoming this poverty background kept me pushing from jobs to jobs and money generating stuffs or businesses that looks shiny and legal.

But while that was my greatest interest, I kept going from debt to debt even though I acquired a whole lot of assets painstakingly.

Looking at my peers outside the employment status and their successes in business, I felt every need to go down that path but I was scared.

At a point, it dawned on me that for me to achieve my dreams in life, holding on to my banking job especially after recalling one of the experiences I had with one of the banks I worked for when they asked me and my colleagues to resign involuntarily, the urge became more for me to leave the banking system and follow my Entrepreneurial dreams.

That experience of losing my banking job left a bitter pill in my mouth forever especially the pains of surviving the period before I got another banking job to stabilize me again.

In fact, it is something I would never want to see happen to me again. Never

It got to a stage in my life since resigning from the banking job and experiencing the Entrepreneurial life that, I have vowed never to waste my dreams working for the bank or any other organization ever again.

The Story Continues……… Sorry For That Break-In Transmission. Lol

So with all of my savings and assets in preparation for the entrepreneurial life, I resigned from my last banking job thinking I was indeed ripe enough for the street and was going to actualize my dreams in no time.

Well, if you asked me about that thought? I would say it was a great decision but never a good one, because I would have survived the street better if I had set up the business before resigning.

This would have made life easier because of the modern technological advantages we have today where you can easily set up and run any business from anywhere while still getting paid by another employer.

I didn’t know this then…. And that’s the biggest ignorance employees and the masses still face today.

As for me? That was a big mistake I made.

Life became really tough.

In fact, to have even a square meal was like passing a horse through the eye of a needle. That’s Biblical right? But I’m sure you understand what I mean.

I bet you don’t want such an experience in your life ever.

It was so bad that I couldn’t afford a toothpaste, body cream, I mean the minutest of things were difficult for me to buy.

The worst part was that I couldn’t even go to see a doctor because I couldn’t pay hospital bills.

One of those periods, these very wicked insects called “mosquitoes” knowing fully I was surviving by grace still went ahead to suck the hell out of me and deposited malaria before leaving.

Can you imagine how wicked those insects are?

Sincerely, I fell terribly ill.

I couldn’t inform anybody at all. I didn’t want to bother my older siblings.

So, I laid in there just waiting to give up the ghost and let my chapter be closed shamefully. Incidentally, do you know that I figured out that most deaths for the younger people are usually caused by these sorts of stress?

Gosh! That was the height of it all for me.

Thank God luck shined on me when someone knocked at my door and asked if I still had some of the lights I bought to sell as my first entrepreneurial strides without thoroughly researching the market.

 

I got my situation even worsened and became more confused when I resorted to the internet to find quick money making schemes to do.

My clothes had faded and mostly worn out.

I remember a friend advising me to start selling off my assets and liabilities.

Yeah! It worked but for a while.

I felt good selling stuffs but not understanding that the monies injected in the business aren’t all about it.

I sold my house, my electronics, my lands, my shoes. The only reasonable thing I left was my car because I didn’t want people to know it was that bad for me.

Guess what?

The more things I sold, the more troubles and losses I found myself grappling with.

At a point, I thought it was no longer ordinary and so I resolved to go spiritual and that got my situation even worsened because they kept milking me.

Please don’t ever wish you found yourself here. And if you’re already here. Please follow me with the speed of light now and get out fast.

I can bet you don’t want to have this type of experiences because I wouldn’t even wish it for my enemies.

In 2014 after 2 solid years in rot, pains, travails, neglect, agony, shame, hunger, a threat to life, something spectacular happened to me.

Thanks to the books I read, the mentors and coaches that guided me through.

My entire life changed.

I might not be where I want to be fully yet, but I’m 1,000,000% better of what I was.

It was then I realized that the true words of Napoleon in “Think and Grow Rich” still exist. It works. It is what the rich won’t reveal to you.

It meant that all the theories we’ve been told about raising monies to start a business which includes;

  • Bank loans; Personal Savings; Sourcing from friends and families, Angel investors; Bootstrapping, Crowdfunding, Venture capitals, and all worth not are mere theories by experts and these no longer work and if they do, then it is rare.
  • With the banks, you need collateral and a history of business transaction to get a loan.
  • Is it personal savings? Imagine not having a source of income and someone expects you to still save? How is that possible?
  • Are you being told to get finance from friends and families? C’mon, they are busy trying to solve their problems with their lean incomes and will never have that kind of money you need to support you. If you’re lucky to even get it, be careful because “one day na one day”.
  • Some will say, go and find or source from Angel investors. Where would you find them? Very rare. These Angel investors are still busy trying to help those entrepreneurs in countries where almost everything seems right. Not in your country or mine where income alone will go for the needs of the business to even survive first like Fueling of generators and the likes.
  • Bootstrapping and venture capitals happen elsewhere not here. If it does, then as rare as it can be.

I can go on and on with all these expert bits of advice and sincerely those pieces of advice don’t survive in this part of the world.

It meant that while all those theories about how to raise money or capital to start a business are what most experts would advise a poor young woman or a man like me.

There is a better way out and it’s a way that the world is still ignorant about.

I started my marketing and sales Agency as an individual.

My first huge payment was from a Real Estate client. Even though I had started the Telecoms and Health businesses first without money.

The Real Estate business was rather a super eye-opener for me.

To me, it meant that I can make more money by targeting high income generating businesses.

That huge payment changed my whole life.

 

Today, I have helped many businesses to achieve their dreams with what I offer them and I get paid even before I get started.

What I do for businesses is simply to help them increase their sales both online and offline with my spectacular marketing and sales strategies that I have learnt over the years till this day.

I make business owners happy by ensuring I help them save cost of hiring marketers who would never give them the results but end up sucking the living income they make out of their business.

Or the cost of renting shops everywhere just to get closer to their target audiences up to the point of even helping them with managing their finances and deliveries sometimes too.

I use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, BulkSMS, Cold Calls, and Blogs to help them get more views for their products and/or services.

And by that, they make more sales 100% more than they would have ordinarily.

And in turn, they pay me awesomely.

With the monies I made from these clients that I helped to increase sales for, Do you know that I took these monies and went ahead to set up my Real Estate business?

I have also gone ahead to partner with a Health Product manufacturing company.

And lastly, I also partnered with a Telecoms company which of course led me into partnering with Globacom for their CUG products. Actually, I also made a tone of cash from that business too.

 

For me?

This is my simple way of disrupting the status quo and breaking the jinx or myth that says that “only money brings money”.

Today, I don’t believe in those words anymore. Rather I believe that skills are what brings money and more skills bring more monies from more businesses and more monies.

Skills first, then the abundant money follows.

If you want me to guide you on how I have done it, I have written a book titled “How To Start A Business Without Money”.

In this book, I take you by the hands step-by-step showing you exactly every secrets including the mistakes I made while starting out so that you don’t have to make such mistakes again.
