Kill the doubts!

We have always admired this company; it's one of the biggest in the industry within our region. The skepticism of how they will respond to us became a hindrance to us reaching out. We reached out to other smaller firms. We believed they were easier to access. And we just stopped at that for a while.

Last week was the kill...
I just woke up that morning, broke all necessary protocols to hit the goal.

"The manager had just gone to execute a deal" said the Sales representative.
Me: Can I have his number, please?
Rep: Sure
Immediately I called and spoke a little about what we wanted. So I asked him to give a convenient date and time.

Manager: Can you meet me at XYZ now, it's just a few poles from where you are.
Me: Sure
His reception was warm and he visited our firm two days after.

Just like that?

Some of the persons we feel are difficult to approach are most of the time, the easiest to integrate. Don't pass judgement on anyone or firm until you have a first hand experience.
Some of these persons have really been waiting for you to come, they want to help you grow.

Assumption is not a good choice.
Kill the doubts, step forward!
When you mind is set on a thing, nature organizes it's forces to deliver.

Reachout! Speakout!

Eggshells (Episode 2)

Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

You can come along and change Everything

“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything” –Steve Jobs. True words. For me, I believe a person can come along and change everything. Don't wonder who that might be. That person is YOU. Find you, discover your happy place. Give vent to your uniqueness. Don't try to be like another person. Be you. What's your story? Be bold, own and share it. Businesses have been built on them. You don't know how to go about it? Ask. Don't be quiet and remain in one place year in year out. Move. You are shy, feel vulnerable? It's natural. Wear your scars. Clean your tears. You were born for a time like this, to add value to the world. Shine. Say with me, "I will shine for all to see". By: Peter Ochuko Kajovo

Happiness is You

By -

So there are a lot of myths, facts, and opinions out there about happiness. My intention, however, is not to support or discredit any one of them you may have come in contact with before. While it is true that happiness is relative, it is also true that personal happiness is what you make of life. Many people in the world today have different goals and ambitions. There is something which is nonetheless common to almost all of us and that is personal happiness. I have learnt that it is impossible to control the happenings around us but what we can control is our disposition towards these happenings. The major mistake a person can commit is to expect that life will always go as planned or as expected. For instance, you may have planned to wake up at 6 am today but somehow you didn't and woke up at 8 am instead. That was not what you wanted or had planned but that was what happened nonetheless. This is a simple analogy of how the plans of human beings are thwarted by unforeseen cir...

You have to be the Complement of Whom You Desire

By -

You may come across a good person, a sincere lover, who's interested in you, but you're not ready at that moment, and end up losing him to someone else who's ready.. You're not ready because of the negative configuration that your past relationship(s) has created for your mind and it really shows in your attitude (I personally always detect it no matter how much you try to hide it). You have to take responsibility for the outcomes of your past relationships. And by this, you take POSITIVE actions not to be a victim of such again. Look into yourself critically, you'll see the wrong choices you made that led to the failed relationship(s). Learn from it, and make a wiser choice when someone comes seeking your attention. Understand what you NEED (pay less attention to your wants) and be the person that will complement the person you need by developing yourself and working on your limitations gradually. If you'll say that it's difficult to know who's true, I...

How I got out of paid employment in 11 months

It is true that you achieve what you put your mind to. January 27 2017, I was seated in the office to have my final interview. I have read lots of interview questions and answers online before then like I was going to get a 10 million naira job. Staying without job for a year was the lowest point of my life. I answered every questions pragmatically and then the very big question! How long do you see yourself working with us? "I can only guaranty that I will be here in the next one year", I replied. I didn't even last a year because I have my purpose and focus in view. I knew exactly what took me there so I wasn't that employee who has the mindset of retirement. In fact, I never participated in anything long term there. Maybe you also want to have total control of your time to play a bigger game. The following steps will guide you. Find your purpose: Every decisions I took springed from my discovery of Oladipupo. Though I was jobless in 2016, I used that year t...

A Great Dad?

This may seem to be a late post, but it isn't late after all. Last Sunday (18 June) was Father's day. So, before the week is over, I'll have to drop this post. We'll be sharing some tips about being a great Dad, one that deserves to be celebrated, one who's the best. I think this will be cool and helpful to aspiring Dads (Yeah! The 'young unmarried' and 'Just married!') Let me start by quoting Sanjay Sabnani: "A great father knows that parenting is entirely responsible for a child's development - positive and negative - from birth until the child is done with high school. If your kid ends up with behavioral or academic issues, it is because a parent (or both) failed. A great father cannot distance himself from his children or what they become, they are always his." Let's now see these points on how to be a great Dad: • A Great Dad loves his family. He shows his love for his wife and his kids. He values the mother of his kids, r...

Today, I share some quotes from a friend, EndieUmunna. Let's be inspired by these words. • In as much as you want results, you have to love the process. Better results are yielded when you find true happiness in the process • It is better to have just 1 winner friend than to have 500 loser friends. That poison you call friendship, give it a break! • Stop wasting your time waiting for the defining moments. Define your life and then raise the rest of your life to meet you • Hardwork garnished with assorted patience is the only shortcut to success. Any other route is not sustainable!
