DEAR SELF: QUIT DOING THE BARE MINIMUM~~~AGHARA JOIN PAUL

Photo from I'm Possible 2019 Conference I'm very sure that you wouldn’t want your mechanic doing the bare minimum required to make your family car safe to drive. You wouldn’t want a surgeon doing the bare minimum needed to keep your heart pumping. You wouldn’t even want the chef at your favorite restaurant doing the bare minimum to ensure the food you’re eating is safe to consume. Else you wouldn't come back again I bet.  You expect people to go above and beyond in whatever they do and I expect myself to do same too 😁. You want people to go the extra mile for you, in situations when your life depends on it and otherwise. You want to know that people care about their craft and care about you, right? I know I do. Yet today in a conversation with a fellow entrepreneur, I noticed a troubling trend in the workforce and entrepreneurship right now, and it all has to do with two things: Effort and Reward . Too many people believe that you should be lavishly rewarded sim...

GET ON YOUR TRACK AND RUN!!~~~ENEBELI, M. OSHAMISU

I would like to share a conversation between a teacher and a student with you.  Teacher :- what would you like to be in the future? John :- I would like to be a great businessman and a  financier of several NGO's. Teacher: - That's a very good dream. How do you plan to achieve that and what business would you like to venture into? John :- Well, I don't know for now. There is still time. I'm still very young.

Let me state here that 'the future we are looking for starts today.'  Big question is, How long are we going to procrastinate today about what we really have to do to be prepared for the future?  How long will we wait for what we tag " the right time". The truth is, there is no time called the right time. We create our right times. "I ...

2 WAYS TO STAY PATIENT WITH YOURSELF IN 2020 ~~~AGHARA JOHN PAUL

We live in a fast-paced world where no lines and no waiting are common. We can now have anything delivered to our doorstep in a matter of hours and get information with the click of a button. While the convenience factor of the fast-paced world can be appreciated, it can also have a negative effect on us. The no lines no waiting world causes us to underestimate how long change takes when it comes to personal Growth.  As a coach, most times my clients wants to learn a process so fast that they end up not knowing it at all. And that's how it is with our visions. Accomplishments is a process.  Expecting immediate results can be disastrous when it comes to personal achievement. It often leads to unhealthy shortcuts or giving up on a goal way too early.  Your unrealistic expectations may also cause you to draw incorrect conclusions. You may think you're not good enough or that you aren't able to succeed. But the truth might be that you have simply not give...

It's a New Year. New Season. New Opportunities. New Life & Hope to challenge the mountains our heart desires. Yes! In the new season many will have to wait till all the dots are connected before they take a move to pursue that desire burning deep down. I learnt earlier that Preparation is a Proof that you Value Your Future. Many will consider themselves not adequate enough to start now and for that may never start the race at all. But like I've practiced this past year, starting strong is necessary if we are to achieve more results. How do I start strong may be the question bubbling in your mind. Cmon! Let's take a ride and let's talk about these 3 keys that have propelled me to the tangible success I've achieved in the past years. Vision : I can’t emphasize this enough. As a professional, you need to know where you want to be, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know yet how to get there. Where and what you need to be is your VISION. You need to hav...
