Life is like a pool of water
Life is like a pool of water. And until you drop a piece of pebble into it, you will not generate any ripple. It may remain still for years. The pebble you drop into the pool is your action, no matter how small an action is, it is better than no action at all.
Little pebble will generate waves that the generator may not even know the end of such action. So also the little positive action you are going to take this month of august will lead to success that you cannot even imagine.
I am going to be working with thirty people this month that will be willing to take little action every day to take our life to the next level.
If you are willing to be one of us, send a mail and register today.
Action- the secret of Success
The truth is, not much separates the great, successful people from the ordinary.
Rarely are the most successful people that we admire significantly smarter
or more talented than the next person.
However, without exception, highly successful people know how to take action
on their initiatives and they constantly learn how to improve.
What could you achieve if you made the decision to do those two things,
every day, from now on?
I think you could achieve anything you want, I really do.
I'd like to introduce you to an incredibly valuable tool that you can use,
right now, to completely change your approach to the way you take action in
your life.
If there's room for improvement in your level of personal success as a
Leader, Entrepreneur, or Professional, then it is time for you to take action.
Do something today that you have not done for a very long time like put on your knickers and do the dish, wash the car or weed your garden. Hmmmn!
I know you have people who do those things for you, but do them and write to me after
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure."
Sven Goran Eriksson
Using Failure to Ensure Success
In his book "Failing forward," John C. Maxwell tells the
story of Samuel Langley, the man who should have invented the airplane.
Langley was Director of the Smithsonian Institution and a respected former
professor of mathematics and astronomy. Decades before the Wright brothers successfully flew their plane, the government had given a $50,000 check to Dr. Langley. The purpose? To convert what he had learned by experimenting with large models into the first manned airplane.
On Oct. 8, 1903, Langley expected his years of work to come to fruition. As
journalists and curious onlookers watched, Charles Manley (Langley's engineer), wearing a cork-lined jacket, strode across the deck of a modified houseboat and climbed into the pilot's seat of a motorized biplane called the Great Aerodrome.
The craft was perched atop a specially built catapult designed to initiate its
flight into the air. But when the launch was attempted, part of the Aerodrome got caught. It was flung into 16 feet of water a mere 50 yards away.
Criticism of "Langley's Folly" was brutal. But he was undaunted. He tried a
second flight eight weeks later. This time, the pilot was almost killed.
This second failure was too much for the respected scientist. Defeated and
demoralized, he abandoned his pursuit of flight.
On Dec. 17, just a few months later, Orville and Wilber Wright, uneducated, unknown, and unfunded, flew their plane over the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk.
The moral of this story is obvious: If you want to accomplish great things in
your life, you have to be willing to fail. Again and again. You must no quit trying. Keep on dropping pebble into the POOL
At Tropical Entrepreneurship Development centre (TEDC), this is a concept we teach to all new employees and the company we consult for.
But we take it one step further. We tell them that since we want to accelerate their success, they have to be willing to accelerate their failures.
How do we do that? By pushing them carefully.
TEDC is an unusual company. There is almost no resistance to upward mobility.
If you get hired to work as a clerk but get an idea for a new
product or advertising scheme, you will be welcomed to present it. If your idea is any good, it will be tested. And if it works, you will be promoted.
Given this freedom, TEDC's employees are coming up with new ideas all the time.
New employees usually come up with not-so-good ideas. It's not because they are not smart. It's just that they lack experience.
But we don't discourage them. We encourage them. And if we think their idea has even half a chance, we let them try it. We do that because we believe that the only way to grow is by making your own mistakes.
You can't shape the character of a quality person by telling him what he can't do. All you can do is give him feedback and let him learn on his own.
Our rule is: Test your idea as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, start working on your next idea.
This philosophy of "accelerated failure" may be helpful in your organization. It has been instrumental in TEDC's growth and overcoming many business challenges and even coming back from failure in the past 10 years.
In his book, Maxwell provides this formula for "making friends with failure":
1. Recognize that a willingness to fail is the chief difference between
successful people and average people.
In Maxwell's opinion, success has little to do with wealth, family, background, morals, or opportunity. "When it comes right down to it," he says, "I know of only one factor that separates those who consistently shine from those who don't: their perception of and response to failure."
2. Redefine failure.
Maxwell says that people are too quick to judge isolated situations and label
them as failures. A successful person sees a setback as temporary and beneficial - something to learn from.
As basketball coach Rick Pitino once said, "Failure
is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching I've learned
from making mistakes."
3. Disconnect yourself from your mistakes.
The trick to overcoming the fear of failure is to disassociate yourself from it.
To understand that, as Maxwell says, "your failure does not make you a failure."
Instead of beating yourself when you make a mistake, tell yourself, "I am not a failure. I failed at doing this."
Keep in mind that every successful person has experienced failure. Mozart, a
musical genius, was told by Emperor Ferdinand that “The Marriage of Figaro” was "far too noisy" and contained "far too many notes." Thomas Edison, the most prolific inventor in history, was considered unteachable as a youngster. And Albert Einstein, the greatest thinker of modern times, was told by a Munich schoolmaster that he would never amount to much.
4. Take action to remove fear.
Recognize that your fear of failure is based not on logic but on experience. To
get rid of that paralyzing fear, you must take action. "If you can take action
and keep making mistakes," says Maxwell, "you gain experience.
That experience eventually brings competence, and you make fewer mistakes. As a result of making fewer mistakes, your fear becomes less paralyzing. But the whole cycle-breaking process starts with action. You must act your way into feeling, not wait for positive emotions to carry you forward."
5. Change the way you respond to failure.
Some people get angry when they fail. Others, unwilling to accept
responsibility, look for scapegoats. Some people, stubborn people, ignore their negative results and continue to repeat their unsuccessful actions. Still others simply give up.
"There's really only one solution to the gridlock on the failure freeway," Maxwell says, "and that's to wake up and find the exit." In other words, to accept responsibility for the actions that contributed to your
failure and to change your behaviour accordingly.
The title that Maxwell chose for his book - "Failing Forward" - sums up this
philosophy nicely: If you march long enough, you will stumble. Whether you
stumble forward or stumble backward or stop marching completely is entirely up
to you.
The challenges of business world today is not lack of what to do, But to know how to do what you do efficiently, effectively and profitably.

LIFE IS RIVER
Live is like a river full of fish and any man with a fishing rod can go to the river and catch some.
The beauty of this is that no man can catch all the fish in the river.
There will still be enough for you if you are ready to fish
If you meet a man at a spot you can move to another spot.
No man can actually disturb you in life without distracting himself by leaving his own spot.
And you have the liberty to move to another and better spot along the river and fish.
We are all joint owner of the river, don't ever allow any body to intimidate you.
The type of fish you will catch will depend on so many factors, but principal factors include the following:
1) The river-if there is no fish in the river all other factors will not work.
2) Your fishing rod-even if there is fish in the river and you don't have "ukpo" then you will not be able to catch any fish.
You need knowledge, wisdom and skill as rod to be able to fish successfully in this river's of life.
3) Patience- Patience is one of the major key you need to catch fish in rivers of life.
In every area of your life you must apply this key.
Later I will share with you five fishing rods you need to catch all the fish (goals or dreams) you need in life.
And if you cannot wait, you call me and I will send your own copy .

What kind of business is yours?
What type of business are you running? Can you compare your business with plantain or palm tree?
Plantain like-Business;
Plantain is very easy to plant especially during the raining season and within one year if you take care of it properly, it will bear fruits.
Not only will it bear fruit, it will produce other suckers that you can plant into another plot and you can allow other suckers to develop in the same spot.
There are some businesses if well take care of that will return profit within one year and if we plan the business well and you invest time to it , you can develop a system that will enable you to open another branch(sucker in a new plot)
You can also add extra department to your business (growing sucker in the same spot). For example assuming you have a hospital and you run it very well, you may decide to open another branch in another town (sucker in a new plot) or you may decide to add laboratory or X-R department to the existing business(growing sucker in the same spot.)
Plantain like business, that is, business that can be duplicated at another location without many difficulties is very profitable if you know how to go about it.
Palm tree-like Business;
This kind of business will take longer time before that can post profit. They grow steadily and slowly they require a lot of patience on the side of the Entrepreneur.
If well managed, they will grow into a very big company. They are very difficult to replicate unlike plantain like-Business but they could be very profit too if you have the right tools. Examples of this are Big constructions or manufacturing companies.
You must know the kind of business you want to run and you must have the right kind of information to succeed.
Our business is to guide you whichever one you want.
We are also expert in culturing business to grow like plantain plants that you can transplant into other plots
We will help you to make your business "franchise-able"

Be diligent to know the state of your business
Good business like a good tree will take time to mature and grow. Patience and persistence is required on the side of the business man to make his business a success. One of the skills a good businessman must learn is how to market his product or service.
Whatever you do, you must be able to communicate its value to your customer as something that will cure their pains or give them pleasure. You must note that customers are not interested in buy products; they are only ready to cure their hunger or desires.
This may be physical, spiritual or emotional hunger. And for customer to buy from you, you must be able to make them to perceive your product as the best solution to their problem. Perception is very important. As a customer, I believe that your product will help me I will buy from you.
It is very important for you to note that the customer is very "selfish", she or he is not interested in you, and he is only interested in curing his pain or gratifying his pleasure.
Before the customer can give you her money, you must be able to show in certain way that she will derive more value or at worst equivalent value from your product or service. You cannot lure a man who is not hungry with food.
You must know what your customers think they want and give it to them not what you think they want
The most important role you must play as a business owner is to market and innovate your business every day. You must always think about it and make sure you are not cut in the web of sudden change and that you are in tune with changes going on in your market segment.
You must always be on constant look out for new technologies and information that you can use to improve your business and serve your customer very well. Don’t ever and never be satisfied by the way you are doing things before.
Every star that you know has a coach. Every successful and growing business needs a consultant. Do you have one? Don’t run your business by default.

Be Your Business Competitor
Change is the only thing that is constant in the business world and like a good farmer will always take care of his farm, you must always take care or your business so that the weed of competitions will not choke it.
A good business man must not be complacent with his business. Like a farmer will visit his farm regularly, he must also work on his business regularly to know the state of the health of the business whether his business is still 21st century compliant.
The case of Apple and Nokia is still very fresh in our mind. Few months ago, Nokia was the leader in smart phone production and suddenly Apple computer leapfrog over them with the production of iphones .
A lot of your competitors are not sleeping, like weed; they are growing to take over your farm (Business). They are working hard to copy and modify your business and offer it to the market with better features easier to use and at a more competitive price.
Change is a constant and ongoing phenomenon in business world and you must be ready to embrace change at a drop of hat. Once what you are doing is working, it is high time to look forward to what to do to improve your own product. If you want to remain in business for a very long time, you must be ready to compete with your own products. Don’t wait until your competitor will come up with a better product before you start to do something about yours.
The constant question that must be on your lips about your business is-What next can we do to improve this product or service. What is the best way we can promote this product? - What is the best way we can serve our customer? - What could be Version 9.0 of this product?
Changes is being driven by explosion in information and technology a businessman that want to be successful in today’s global world must be ready to flow with the trend or he will be left behind .
The best and the fastest way to key abreast of what is happening in the business world is to engage the service of a business coach who will make sure that your business is window 10 compliant!

GROW YOUR BUISNESS SUCCESSFULLY
Good farm left alone without attention will be overthrown by weed, rodents and disease. This same phenomenon is applicable to a business that looks good at inception and suddenly the lucrative business decline sharply in growth and in profitability.
The weeds, the rodents and diseases has taken their toll on the business.
What are the weeds in business?
Competitions are the weeds in business, when what you are doing is successful, there are other observers who are taking note and they also want to do the same thing.
The only resource resident in your business which is your special knowledge and skill are actually not a secret and with free flow of information, other people will soon discover what you are doing and they will bring another product or service similar to yours and they will offer it to the market.
Like a good farmer who not allow weed to kill his crop, you also must not allow completion to kill your business too. You can only do this by staying abreast of and development around you and keep improving your product or service.
Rodents in your business.
This could be represent in your business by your internal staff, outsource staff or even your suppliers. If don’t have a very good business system and checklist that will make it possible to monitor the activities going on in your business, then the negative activity of your staff can ruin your company.
Even a well meaning staff who don’t know what to do and the time to do them is a rodent who is busy nibbling away the fabric of your business.
The antidote to rodent in your business is to put a system in place that will help you to monitor activities in your company even when you are not there physically.
Like a good farmer will set trap to catch the rodents, you must put system in place to help your staff to perform at their best.
Training and retraining of your staff and support staff is not optional it is one of the key ingredients that will make you to survive in business.
Disease in business
Disease in business are like that of crops are many and of different kind. In business it could come in term of incompetent management.
New technology also can render your business obsolete overnight (like that of cell technology and the land line phone).
Government policy can make your business suffer stroke and eventually die. A good farmer will always protect his crop against disease by applying best farming practices. As a business man who what his business to survive for many generations, you must not leave your business to chance.
I believe today is the best time to call “Mr. Entrepreneur” so that together with you, a system that will put your business a world standard will be put in place, and then you can have the time you need to enjoy your family and wealth while your business will be working for you 24/7

Government policy can make your business suffer stroke and eventually die. A good farmer will always protect his crop against disease by applying best farming practices. As a business man who what his business to survive for many generations, you must not leave your business to chance.
I believe today is the best time to call “Mr. Entrepreneur” so that together with you, a system that will put your business a world standard will be put in place, and then you can have the time you need to enjoy your family and wealth while your business will be working for you 24/7

"Cash crop"
Business is like a tree crop
Sudden wealth will never endure so also business without solid foundation and structure will not last very long.
Businesses can be favorably compared with various types of crops and plants.
May be because I am trained as agricultural engineer and I have a lot of bias for agriculture, I tend to always notice the similarities between plants and business
Some businesses could be compared with vegetables, they are very easy and quick to establish, and their returns are almost immediately. But their life spans is very short, before you notice the impact of such businesses, they are off the season.
These types of businesses have their own importance and there are special ways to propagate them if you want them to be all season business.
Like vegetable farming in, if you introduce simple irrigation (water pump and well) you can produce vegetable profitably all the year round.
Some businesses are like pepper plants, they will live and produce for about 18 months if well managed. Some businesses don’t last more than two years as well and then they are out of vogue.
You must understand this kind of business and make maximum profit from it before new technologies, competitions and market will kill the business.
Some businesses are like tree crops that are usually refer to as “cash crops”. Examples of these are cocoa, coffee, palm tree and rubber. They are very difficult to establish, more knowledge and time is required. It may take more than five years before some of them can produce fruit (profit).
And they are capable of producing fruit for many years and some of them can outlast one generation.
Business that will last more than one generation will require special skill, knowledge, time and patience to build.
You will need combination of these types of business for balance. You will need business that can produce immediate result to encourage and keep you going, you need business that can give you sustainable income to be able to concentrate on your “cash crop”,that is the business that will bring you true wealth and you can leave for the next generations.
You can call Mr. Entrepreneur to share with you how you can turn your business to cash crop today.
