M0NEY, IN YOUR DREAMS




Follow your dreams, chase your passion. If you don’t know what your dream is, tenaciously follow your passion. I’m going to teach you how to discover your passion and dreams.
1.     Develop a five year vision for yourself and follow it religiously
Sincerely answer these questions. If you are truthful, you’ll achieve your goals and dreams
·        When do you wake up each day?
·        What do you do each day? What activities?
·        Do you hang out? With who?
·        Do you make money? How?
·        In a month, how much do you make?
·        In a month, how much do you spend?
·        At the end of each day, how do you feel? Accomplished or not?
2.     That hobby you’ve always admired, start it
Most of us do have that special activity we would be happy doing. We’ve spent months even years saying ‘I’ll give it a shot tomorrow, next week, next month. We’ve kept on procrastinating. Make today that day. There’s a reason for that attraction. Go for it. There’s joy in making money out of what you love doing.
3.     Be a volunteer in your immediate environment
Lazy people never get involved in anything. Interesting and motivated people love to give back the much they can. Surround yourself with good company. The more you roll with motivated and positive people, the more likely you will start believing in yourself, in your own capabilities.
4.     Read non-fiction, self-help books and implement a major action
Motivate yourself because you are what you know. No man is greater than his mind. Fiction books are good but if you aren’t succeeding they aren’t meant for you. Do you know that if you read one motivational book each month and implement one idea per book; in a year, you will read twelve books and implement twelve ideas. In one year, you will grow and achieve a lot.
5.     Read inspirational blogs and take action
There are a lot of inspiring blogs out there like this one that you can learn from. Words ,thoughts and deeds that have stood the test of time. i enjoy stumbling on new ideas that’s why I can spend ample time online. There are a million and counting ways to make money online. Tap into one or more.
6.     Send an e-mail questionnaire to your loved ones.
Loved ones are people that know you best. Send a message like this” hello…I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my life, but do not know where to start. What do you think I’ll be amazing at?” I indulge you to try this and you’ll marvel at the results. You’ll be shocked. I tried this and i couldn’t believe their responses. ‘Very hilarious indeed’ .Some said I would pass for a comedian, others had thought differently. But I assure you that at the end of the day, you’ll get a couple of similar responses.
7.     Do things that scare you
If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. Choose to do things that scare you. Note that when we face your fears, we learn immense things about our character.
8.     Always focus on learning
No one knows it all. No knowledge is wasted. Read about things outside your regular. I am an engineer but I find wildlife interesting. Have fun learning new things. I would suggest you have an idea about everything, if possible, so that you can easily understand and when necessary contribute when others are talking.
9.     Think of your qualities
Many a times, we loose confidence in ourselves because we loose the sight of our qualities, exaggerating flaws, thinking we are going to do terribly.
 Believe in yourself.
10.                     Actively seek out awkward situations
Awkward situations give us opportunities to learn more about our strengths, weakness and those around us.
 The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams – Eleanor Roosevelt
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, the passion to reach for the stars to change the world – Harriet Tubman
A man is not old until regrets take the place of his dreams,
If you can DREAM IT, IT IS POSSIBLE.

HOW TO DEVELOP SELF DETERMINATION

Determination  is the quality of persistently trying to achieve a particular goal/objective.Its the continuous trial to do something even if its difficult.Its possessed by people eager to make a difference. 
Self Determination is the right and ability of an individual to control his or her own fate. 
Here are steps on how to develop self determination:
  • Set a goal-  Set out on something you want to pursue or achieve.Be determined to stick to it no matter how difficult it may be.Keep trying and working to see it succeed.
  • Believe in yourself-  This is an essentially important tool to make a difference.Whatever goal you set out to achieve begins with you .Believe in yourself because nothing is impossible.Winners never quit and quitters never win so do not quit.
  • Have a good mindset-  We are bound to face challenges in virtually everything we do therefore be prepared.Even cooks encounter burns while cooking before they come out with those tasty dishes.Be prepared to make mistakes.Be prepared to accept failures.Failures are not those who failed but those who failed to try again.Be determined to build your Rome.
  • Have alternative plans-  Just like a game of chess,always have a way around every challenge.There is a saying that there is more than one route to the market.Go around your goal to proffer a solution to every situation you may encounter.
  • Embark on the journey-  Hope for the best and head for the light because that's what you find at the end of every tunnel.Preparation can not be over emphasized so be prepared.Get the best idea in play and set at it.Have at the back of your mind how proud you would be at the end of it all.
  • Stay focused-  Believe in your ideas,believe in your goals because not everyone would like them anyway.Don't get carried away by praises or criticism.The more they hate it,the more you need to strive to succeed.There will be people out there who will like and believe in your goals.Be humble to open yourself to feedback.Remember to stick to the plan. 
  • Learn your lessons-  What you pass through are lessons.Reward yourself for successfully completing each stage.Learn from your mistakes "how not to do them next time". Notable inventors/investors have failed severally before they broke through.
Success comes from God.Despise not your days of little beginnings.Do your best and the sky would be your starting point.

THE POWER OF IDEAS




 


Ideas are basically impressions on our minds.No two persons can have exactly the same ideas and that surely 'makes the difference'. They are the ability to create a picture,design and construct.The earth was empty and in total darkness but God had an idea.He saw order and beauty,animals,mountains,rivers,plants.He saw Man.If only you can conceive it in your mind,believe it in your heart,you are sure to receive it.Lying within the range of your mind is a great destiny.
Ideas are more powerful than we may understand.Its a way around virtually everything because everything you can think of today started with an idea.

Once upon a time,the need to brush our teeth arose and William Edward Addis invented the toothbrush, Mafoku Ando was probably hungry and couldn't wait to prepare a wholesome meal,he thought it wise to make Instant noodles,Harry Coover thought & invented the super glue,Elias Howe found the need to professionally put pieces of materials together and he invented the sewing machine, Ignacy Ɓukasiewicz invented the modern kerosene lamp,Charles Grigg also came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink called 7UP and so on,to mention but a few.These are not to say that all ideas should be channeled towards production of goods,they could also be services.

Here is a popular story i love to share because i draw so much inspiration from it and it portrays the power of ideas. Many years ago,in a town in the United States of America,a doctor climbed his horse and rode to a chemist's shop.He went in through the back door.He carried in his hand an old fashioned kettle and a wooden paddle.He brought these items to the shop clerk with a sheet of paper on which was written the formula for a drink.Both of them began to bargain and eventually the clerk gave the doctor five hundred dollars for the items he had come to sell.What the doctor sold to the clerk was worth five hundred dollars whereas what the clerk bought from the doctor was a fortune.

To the surprise of the clerk,the content of the kettle which has since become a household name in the world,began to pour forth gold.The clerk added one Important thing to the items he bought,an IDEA.Today,the content of that kettle is the highest consumer of sugar in the world.It is sustaining sugar plantations,their workers and families around the world.It is also one of the worlds greatest consumer of glass and has turned the fortune of many men around the world.The name of the drink is Coca-cola and Asa Candler is the name of the clerk.

What 'made the difference' between the doctor and clerk was one idea.The doctor never realized that while he was going everywhere with the kettle,paddle and formula,billions of ideas where lying in his hands.Just because he couldn't find the idea,he couldn't make the billions of dollars.When you understand this simple foundation,you lay hold on a principle to making millions.Ideas are more powerful than the brains that produce them because they usually outlive those brains.It is only in Africa,you'll see a 40 year old poor man coming home to his parents to ask what's for dinner.A poor man is he who is without ideas.Your future is sleeping inside your ideas.
