Welcome Home Son

I remember writing that I just entered a new season in my life and that I would gist you later on. Well this is the gist. 

On the 7th of October 2012, the pastor talked about going deeper in our relationship with God. This message struck me like I was an unbeliever, I started reflecting and asking very important questions about my commitment to the things of God. I felt horrible as it was becoming clearer that for almost 7 years now, I have been living the life of a convenient and regular Christian. Whatever demanded extra time or effort, I simply shrugged to one side and move on with life.This theme of meditation went on for days and into weeks and more messages confirmed God nudging me to change my ways. 

The last straw that broke the camel's back was when I got a call from my spiritual father and pastor. I haven't seen him for years now, but we have been communicating. He called me from Calabar where he is currently posted and he asked me what church I was going. So I started telling him how we attended DAYSTAR Christian Center for a while before we started attending The Elevation Church. I explained to him how the change of where we now fellowship is in line with the vision of DAYSTAR. 
He continued by asking what is my assignment in the church. I immediately sensed God actually knocking my head big time! I reluctantly told him how we have for a long time now been faithful church attenders and tithe payers. He then told me that while he was praying, God told him to tell me to come back to Him. He further reminded me of an encounter we had at the church office when I was in school. Back then he was concerned that I was becoming too involved in church assignments that it might be affecting my academic performance. I recalled smiling back to him and humbly telling him I was the best student in the department, grade-point wise. He also told me how he wasn't so surprise about the testimony of my job when I shared it with him over 6 years ago, as he was certain that God is a faithful God. Instantly, I remembered the comments I had in my just concluded appraisal...oh my God...it was the worst comment ever made about my performance! Clearly the comments were unjustified and over-rated...but now I can see the link between my commitment to His assignment and the attainment of my goals. The last thing he said to me before hanging up was "Go back to God"
Friends, God cannot be clearer to me than this. I felt chastised and resolved to turn around immediately. I got home and confessed my sins (of omission) to God, I acknowledged that I have been living a personal and private Christian life. I have strategically avoided opportunities to be committed for God's service. I asked God to restore me and redeem the lost years, indeed the canker worms have eaten a lot, the harvest is really lean.

Since then I have taken several conscious step to remaining relevant and available to be used by God. An unconscious person is as good as dead, so also is an unconscious Christian, he/she is as good as a dead Christian. It is very important we live our Christian life consciously. 
Things have really changed now as God is really my top priority in the scheme of things. 
I recently had a confirmation as I woke up on the morning of the 12th of November with smiles all over my face. I had a dream..yes I am Joseph; in the dream I found myself worshiping with some people I couldn't figure out who they are, but after co-leading a particular worship song, most of the people suddenly recognized me and they were saying things like "Ooh...so it is you, yes I know you"...I felt so glad that I could hear in my Spirit as I was waking up...."Welcome Home Son!"

INFORMATION AGE....?

Bonjour mes amies,
Ca fait long temps, vers 5 mois ! (I am only practising my French).
How is life with you?
I recently entered a new season of my life....I will gist you more about this later on.

I have been perplexed by the “information age” drive going on around.
I recently received a business card from someone and all I saw was:
Front side – name, interest and roles
Back side – twitter, linked In, Facebook, Blog, email and phone nos
I was quite impressed. I guess networking these days is faster and easier with social media profiles as listed above.
I am almost there, social media wise, I can’t just get to sign myself up on twitter! (somebody please encourage me)

Someone I mentor asked me to proof read his first book and write a testimonial for him that would be published in the book. After sending the reviewed documents and testimonial he asked me a question I felt I have never been asked before. “How do you want to be addressed?” And I simply said “Joseph Adenuga.”
Then he said “Just like that”, at this point I figured I needed to give it a second thought so I told him to call me back so I can reflect on it.
After meditating for some couple of hours, guess what I came up with?

Joseph Adenuga
An Enthusiastic Dream coach, experienced geoscientist and a seasoned speaker

What do you think?! I really felt uncomfortable singing my own song.
So, finally I now know what to write on my personalized business card after all:
Front side
Joseph Adenuga
Dream Coach, Experienced Geoscientist, Seasoned Public Speaker, Staunch Investor
Backside
Facebook – Joseph Olalekan Adenuga
Linked In – Joseph Adenuga
Phone nos – 08038075789

So what will yours look like?

BEYOND THE CLOUDS


I recall an experience on the 10th of June 2011 while descending to Lagos on an Air France flight from Paris, suddenly I got an inspiration. Some words seem to be whispering in my ears and I could not help but begin to write. Here are the words in their originality as they came.

Beyond the clouds
Where vision is infinite
There are no hindrances/obstacles to how far you see
The only limitation is your sight
Horizons are undefined
Everything seems similar
The thrill is great but direction is key

How long you stay is dependent on how far you’ve gone
Sights appear meaningless and void
Waiting for the creative minds to see
Something out of the obscurity
Colours are predictable

Beyond the clouds
Where you cannot get all alone
Where no one stays but all are in motion
How fast you can’t tell, cos none can stop to see

Later I will take time to share on some of the lines to highlight what they mean to me.
Remain Blessed

Wealth Accumulation System - Petroleum System


While taking my bath on the morning of the 9th of May 2012, some “freshly baked” insights flooded my mind.
It is possible to liken wealth accumulation “system” or process to a petroleum system in some dimensions. Note that there is difference between wealth creation and wealth accumulation.
Where wealth creation is the process by which wealth is being generated, the accumulation refers to damming this continuous generation of wealth.
As a professional in petroleum geoscience, there are five key elements/process that is very important for hydrocarbon accumulation.
  • Source Rock
  • Migration pathway
  • Reservoir
  • Trap
Source Rock (God)
Of course as a Christian I fully understand that God is the source of my wealth. Just as it is absolutely impossible to have a petroleum system in existence without a source rock, so it is impossible for a Christian to accumulate without God. Deut 8:18, John15:5. He is my source and He is my Rock.
Usually quality and quantity of hydrocarbon released is dependent on the quality and temperature of burial of the source rock. Similarly, our commitment and devotion to God and His values largely determines the quality and quantity of our wealth accumulation. Josh1:8, John 4:24, James1:25

Migration Pathway (Means of wealth acquisition)
The next phase after the source rock is adequately buried and heated to some range of temperatures referred to as the Oil kitchen, hydrocarbon is released. Hydrocarbon then starts moving along a route referred to as the migration pathway.
These routes are synonymous to the various means by which God (the source) can release wealth to us: jobs, businesses, investments, real estates, people etc. Gen26:12-14 (Farmer/Shepherd – Entrepreneur), Gen29:20, 30 (Farmer/Shepherd – Employee), Acts18:3 (Tentmaker – Entrepreneur), Col4:14 (Doctor – Professional) etc.
 The Source (God) discharges wealth to us through diverse means (pathway). It is important for us to understand that the wealth from God will still come through one of these numerous means. The capacity of an individual to discover and identify this means is critical to wealth accumulation just as discovering and identical a potential hydrocarbon migration pathway is critical for hydrocarbon accumulation.

Reservoir (Knowledge and Skills)
The hydrocarbon moves migrates from the source along the migration pathways and locate themselves in the reservoir. The reservoir in a petroleum system is the necessary sediments that the released hydrocarbon can reside inside in large quantity. The significance/relevance of a reservoir is not in its storage of hydrocarbon but in its ability to release the hydrocarbon when needed.
 Similarly in wealth accumulation, knowledge and skills acquisitions of pathways (means through which the source is releasing wealth) is vital. If God is releasing wealth to you as a professional, then for the wealth to reside and accumulate at all, you would need to acquire relevant skills and information in your profession. If the means is entrepreneurship, you will need the necessary skill set to accumulate enough wealth flowing through this means from the source (God). The same goes for investments, real-estates etc. Note that the thicker and wider the reservoir, the more volume of hydrocarbon is expected to accumulate in it. Likewise in wealth accumulation, the more skills and knowledge any pathway or means, the more volume of wealth is expected be accumulated.
However, a critical factor of the reservoir is timing. This implies that if the reservoir is not in place before hydrocarbon migration gets to that point, there will be no favorable accumulation. Timing is likewise essential in wealth accumulation; there is no point
It is risky to start learning how to swim when drowning in the ocean, it is doing the right thing at the wrong time.

Trap (Lifestyle)
The trap is the one element that ensures that all the effort of accumulation is not lost. Without a trap in a petroleum system, there is no hydrocarbon accumulation to be discovered. In fact the integrity of a trap is an important characteristic that determines if hydrocarbon exploration pursuit would be a worthwhile task or not.
The trap is analogous of an individual’s lifestyle. An individual lifestyle would determine if all the wealth released from God (the source) with all the skills and knowledge acquired in good timing will be accumulated or not.
When hydrocarbon is accumulated, its worth is not in the accumulation but in the successful exploitation – bringing it to surface. Likewise for wealth accumulation, the significance of wealth accumulation is not in accumulation, but in the proper utilization of the accumulated wealth in the manifestation of the divine plan of God.

The Rules of Money Have Changed

I was online this week and I stumbled on this wonderful financial piece.
I consider it to be a very relevant and useful advice.
Read it yourself.

The Great Depression forced a generation to re-think what they believed were self-evident rules about how to deal with cash and 80 years later that process began again - so what are the new rules of money?
Since the recession hit a few years ago, the financial rules that most Brits operated under have changed, and it might be the fact that Generation Y was in the sweet spot of the economic downturn that caused them to redefine their beliefs about money.

Putting actual date ranges on the different generations is difficult, but Generation Y, also called the millennial generation or "1980s babies", are said to have birthdates ranging from the 1970s through the mid-to-late 1990s and may number as many as 17 million. If you're in your 20s, 30s or early 40s, then you may be part of Generation Y.
What's more important is your role in the workforce. You're most likely in the early or middle stages of your work life but because of the current recession, you may have had to redefine your rules for money, and if you haven't done so already, then you should.
We have a few rules you should consider as you move forward into unknown financial territory.

 
Don't count on the degree
Parents once told their children that they had to have a university degree to be successful and in large part, that's still true.
However, a university degree no longer guarantees you success in the workplace, and with the rising costs of university tuition, people are thinking twice before committing to a course.
You can see how the recession has hit graduates, as according to the Office for National Statistics recent graduates are more likely to work in lower skills jobs today than a decade ago.
The percentage of recent graduates employed in lower skilled jobs has increased from around 27% in 2001 to around 36% in the final quarter of 2011.
New rule: do something that you enjoy, but research the job prospects for your field before committing to the degree course.

Be afraid of credit
Credit cards and loans might have become the norm in the last decade, but with jobs scarce and the economy only slowly improving, holding a lot of debt is a dangerous endeavour.
When you take on debt, you're betting on your future ability to pay it and as many households have found, that isn't always possible.
Student loans and easy access to overdrafts and credit cards have seen young people become used to taking on large debts early on – but it limits their ability to manage their finances.
New rule: The old adage to “live within your means” has never been more relevant. Do not rely on your current income level to pay off debts you take on today.
In recent years many have been laid-off, leaving them with no way to pay their debts. Keep debt at a much lower level than in the past.

A home isn't an investment
If you're a property investor purchasing homes at low levels, with plans to rent and later sell the properties, a home is an investment. For those who are purchasing a home as their primary residence, the old idea that a home is not only a place to live but also a money-maker, is no longer true.
Firstly, homeowners generally stay in their homes from five to seven years, which isn't sufficient time for their homes to grow in value. Secondly, the collapse of the housing market has left many homeowners owing more on their home than it is worth. It will take many years for housing values to return to a reasonable level.
New rule: If you purchase a home, don't do it because it's a good investment. Do it for other reasons, like a low interest rate and a great price. Don't count on making money from your home when you move.

Invest early and often
This recession hit the baby boomer generation hard. Many baby boomers believed that they would have enough money to retire, but the stock market collapse and plunging annuity rates took much of that money from them, forcing many boomers to continue working well into their 60s.
There is no risk-free investment, but the best way to protect against losses such as these is to save and invest larger amounts earlier in life. As the balance grows and your portfolio is more diversified, you'll have greater flexibility to handle the ups and downs of the markets.
With almost no private sector final-salary pensions left and even the public sector ones becoming rapidly less generous, it’s more or less your only option if you want a comfortable retirement.
New rule: Think about your retirement plans on the first day of your career and continue investing more than you think you should.

The bottom line
The financial world has changed. The years of prosperity have, at least for the time being, ended. Generation Y may be the first generation who do not have a better quality of life than the generations that have gone before them.
As a result, we've changed how we think about money and that can only be a good thing.

GET SET BEFORE YOU ARE 40!

I remember vividly, I was 19years old, when my mum handed me this article "Get Set Before You Are 40". I kind of think I will do the same for my daughters, maybe more! Why not?!
Anyway, I had kept that hard copy since then, and each time along the years when I accidentally come across the article, it seem to make sense the more. Over the years I have tried to search for the author, but couldn't find it, please if you find it, kindly let me know.
I am not 40 yet (just for the record) but I don't have a decade left and this article seem to be phenomenal.
Just in case you are already 40, I believe in a God that restores time (Joel 2:25), and if you are not 40 yet, take heed...happy reading!


GET SET BEFORE YOU ARE 40
You think work gets harder after 40? Well for some people, it actually gets easier. The responsibilities may be heavier but after 40, you should be valued for your experience, skills and judgement, rather than the ability to work 18hours a day. And take heart, most of the rewards of success tend to accumulate after the age of 40, if you do the right things before then.

First, do your homework. Learn everything you need to know about your business or profession before 40. For example, Captain Okon who is a pilot and Chairman of ADC Airlines learnt how to fly an aircraft in his 20s, got his command the rudiments of running an airline in his 30s and by 40, he had already mastered the business. Many other successful people have similar experience.

Learning and mastering your trade ought to be behind you at 40. Burning the midnight oil is okay at 20, may be even 30, but nobody should have to sit up all night learning something new at 40.

Develop your own style. Before 40, learn what you like and what you are most comfortable with, whether it is the way you dress or simply the small touches that sets you apart from other people. You can experiment in your20s and 30s, but establish your own style by the time you are 40. No one looks more insecure than a man or woman trying to redesign his or her look in mid-career. You like suspenders? Fine! Make them your trademark. You work better with flowers on your desk? Display them every day.

Try to put your emotional life in order; it is a great help. It is hard enough to succeed without taking on complicated personal problems that sap your energy and divert your attention. Besides, unhappiness is a disease, which gradually eclipses interest in everything else.
Of course, all difficulties can’t be avoided and one has to rise above them, but those who have managed to put their personal lives in order by the time they are 40 are generally more successful than those who haven’t.

Know your strengths. Know who you are and what you are good at. Know the things you enjoy doing and do better than anyone else.

Know your weaknesses. Accept the things you don’t do well, can’t stand, or won’t do. If you are not comfortable with numbers but enjoy creative work, don’t force yourself to sit in a numbers job just because it pays well or is what people expect. Get into the kind of work you enjoy before you are 40, otherwise you may be destroying your real chance of real success.

Make a start at putting away your “quit” money. Put away the first million bucks you make. That’s your “I quit” money. Nothing is more depressing than absolute dependency – the knowledge that you can’t afford to quit your job or take a risk in changing careers.

Form a network. You must establish a network of friends before your 40th birthday. This means you have to do favors for them, support them in their projects and listen to their problems so that they will do the same for you. Remember, a network is not established overnight; it is the result of working on it for decades. In business as in politics, you need a lot of people, spread out in the right places, which you can rely on because they can rely on you.

Learn to delegate. Delegation is halfway to success. A person who cannot delegate will find himself handicapped in a number of area. At 40, you should be an expert at trust and selecting people.
Get the right people and trust them.

Learn when to keep your mouth shut. More careers are aborted by careless talk than by anything else. Learn to keep quiet and look wise; people will naturally suppose that you know more than you probably do. Don’t gossip and don’t talk about your plans. A reputation for keeping secrets far outweighs the easy popularity that retailing gossip may win you. The farther you go in your career, the truer this is. In higher management, secrecy is golden.

Be loyal. If you haven’t established a reputation for total loyalty by the time you are 40, you are going to be haunted by this defect for the rest of your career. A reputation for disloyalty will make you a pariah in business circles. Finally, keep your sense of humor. Nothing lasts forever, not even success!

Business Opportunity for the EMPLOYED! And even the unemployed

Just for the record, I am gainfully employed with more than 5years of working experience with a small family of two lovely girls.
You will agree that nothing is more depressing than absolute dependency; the knowledge that you can’t afford to quit your job or take the risk in changing careers.
Towards the end of last year, I was doing a lot of brainstorming for the kind of business I can implement without significant interference with my regular salary job.
While search results showed several opportunities ranging from online stuffs (quite difficult for me to understand) to real estate (high capital involvement), I decided to come up with a list of what the business should have. They include:
  •     Reasonable start-up capital (not more than N50k); there is no amount of money that is used in biz that cannot be lost N50k or N50m
  •     Reasonable operating cost
  •     Time involvement should be flexible enough as not to interfere significantly with my regular job
  •     Profit margin should be greater than interest on fixed deposit or Treasury Bills (something >10%)
  •     Potential for growth

As you would guess, it was quite difficult.
Nevertheless, I came across one that had some process I normally have issues with and that is network marketing. I closed my doors completely and didn’t give any attention. However, with a second look I realized it is more of what I would refer to as an “Hybrid” i.e. a mix of both business and network marketing. In fact, after proper analysis, I figured out that there are more immediate business gains (Direct Income) than could be anticipated in the network marketing benefits (Passive Income).
So I decided to give it a shot; I started precisely in November 2011. Because of the nature of my job, I tend to be very meticulous with numbers and would rather err towards too much recording than no-record at all. By my records I had a net profit (SP-CP) of N38,860, N17,710 and N32,505 for the months of December, January and February 2012 respectively! I am not kidding! I decided not to bother so much on the Network marketing; nonetheless, I registered 1 and 2 for the months of January and February 2012 respectively. The total money earned from the network marketing was N816, N349.50 and N596.70 for the months of December, January and February 2012 respectively.
I have waited this long to benefit directly before sharing this with people, especially to you as an employee.
It is FM (Federico Mahora) Group Products.
Let me highlight some of the benefits here as best as I can:
Direct Income
You would have a catalogue (soft and hardcopy) through which your intending customers can make their choice.
You will also have a sample kit (portable folder-like) of 20-150 perfumes from which your customers can choose the fragrance that suits them.
The prices are clearly indicated on the catalogues for your customers so there is nothing hidden or secretive.
However, you have another pricelist catalogue (for your own keeps) from which distributors prices for all products are clearly stated.
With these, you can immediately know how much direct income you are making from every order made.
You simply pay the distributors price in getting the products and collect the catalogue price from your customer at delivery or even before - depending on your business model.
I can assure you that you will have a margin of nothing less than 20% on every product! You wouldn't believe it!
No Stocking of Product
From my explanation above, you would realize you won't have any cause to stock any product as you are properly equipped with samples and clear catalogues
Low start up Capital
You will need to get the sample kits I mentioned above after registering as a distributor - I would do this for you.
The amount you would pay varies from N5,150 to N15,700 and it would also determine the amount of samples you would get.
My advise is, if you are out for selling more of make-ups, then get the N5,150. But if you will also be inclined in selling perfumes more, then get the N15,700 kit
If you would agree with me, this is a reasonable amount to experiment (to say the least) with a business.
Quality Products
FM products are made in Poland and of high quality as most of the brand names we know.
No Pressure
There is a multilevel marketing side of the business that does not put you under any pressure in anyway.
One of the issues I had with some MLM is that I couldn’t imagine myself selling health product to people without being qualified, I considered it a sensitive area. However, I consider it very easy and comfortable for me telling people about perfume – who cannot appreciate good fragrance afterall.
Feel free to do your own research and you can use the following links as a guide
http://cedarstouch.fmcontact.com/
If you need to speak with me, send me a mail, and I would give you my personal nos.
Oops..! I have in fact exceeded my own expectation of writing about this business in two pages; I guess I would stop here to respond to comments and inquiries from you.

My Dream For Nigeria

In 2010, coinciding with Nigeria’s 50th year of Independence anniversary, I had an assignment to write on the Nigeria of my dreams. Something close to the popular “I have a dream” speech of Martin Luther King. I did not know how to begin but with the help of a dear friend (she is reading this now) who helped me with a draft, then I was able to come up with the Speech and delivered it nicely. I hope you find it inspiring!

50 years ago, a nation was presented to the world. A country christened NIGERIA, which her name comes from a combination of the words "Niger" (the country's longest river) and "Area".

Our land is richly blessed with millions of acres of arable land and lush vegetation expressed with the green colour of our flag.
Our desire for peace and unity within our country is radiantly expressed with the white colour.
Underneath our great country lies an abundant storage of some of the world’s most valuable resources: crude oil, gas, tin, iron ore, coal, limestone just to mention a few.

We boast of some of the world’s best human capabilities in arts, finance, literature, business and sports and proudly represent the world in the advancement of human life.
We are ethnically blessed beyond measure, with its rich and diverse cultural heritage from the different tribal groups.
We possess all these great potentials for everything bright and beautiful;
However, we have been through many things in the last fifty years.

We have experienced and survived wars, corrupt government, hunger, loss of lives through avoidable plane and road crashes, increased crime rate, communal clashes; embezzlement of funds by public and even private custodians and brutal mismanagement of our resources.
Our industries have moved on a continuous scale of progression and then regression.

Today, as a people we stand beaten and torn apart, like a rag doll with limbs seperated from body.
Today, our cry for peace and stability echoes from the mountain top and reaches down to the depth of the earth.

Yet there is hope!

There is hope that our educational system will no more be an embarrassment that strongly discriminates against her citizens but a platform that impacts applicable knowledge and morals to the people.
There is hope that our locally made goods that are now considered inferior and dispelled like the birth of a still born will be made from the highest quality standard that you can get anywhere in the world.
There is hope that our health institutions that currently echo the cry of an inconsolable mother whose children have been stolen from her arms by a string of cruel illnesses will be a place where hopes are restored and shouts of rejoicing.

I see peace in our land, from the north to the south like a blanket spread over this nation, I see abundant peace. A place where tribes are inconsequential and unity binds our hearts in temperance and love.
I see a future where our leaders have fully given their lives to serve and not be served. A government that is truly defined ‘by the people for the people’. An institution that is free of corruption and misuse of public office. Leaders who strongly appreciate the call and privilege of their roles.
I see the development of our infrastructures and the provision of essential requirements copiously accessible to the needs of every citizen of this country. A place where food, shelter, medical care and education is unarguably a right of everyone.
I see our youths engaging their hearts and minds in noble endeavors, totally free and nurtured in an environment of trust and accountability.

I see Nigeria proud and full of grace.
I see our mouth filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. And this is our hope and our faith and the reason we would vote this time.

The reason we won’t allow ourselves to be fooled by the sweet mouthed glutton wolves not even in sheep’s clothing.
The reason we would put principles beyond personalities, tribes, ethnicities or even religion.
The reason we would stand until our vote is counted and our vote counts.

It is the birth of a new Nigeria and I see the giant of Africa rise again.

Thank you.

The Law of Growth

Valentine? Why not, if not?
As Christians, we certainly ought to daily show love to everyone around us...however, I won’t instigate any debate on this note.

I read an e-book some couple of weeks ago and there is a part of it I agree with and would like to share with you.
Below is an extract from the e-book by Jason Oman on “How to Finally Make Money”.
The extract is titled “The Law of Growth”.

I must warn you to “eat the fish and throw away the bones” – this is a phrase I use when not all the content of a speech or book is “useful” or beneficial.
I am sure you will understand when reading it.
Have a blessed week.

#1: The Law of Growth

I’m going to start here by talking about why most success students never get the ball rolling in the ‘making money’ department.
You see, most success students I’ve come in contact with are trying to :
• Make $1,000,000 (one MILLION!) before they’ve ever made $100,000.
• Make $100,000 before ever making $10,000.
• Make $10,000 before ever making $1,000!
Does this sound familiar?
Once you really look at this concept you can easily see that this goes 100% against the very Laws of Nature!
You see, nature teaches us that all things must advance step-by-step.
Until I took my head ‘out of the sand’, I was a complete failure.
What most people don’t realize is that I started our whole business with a $40 sale on Ebay.com.
The secret behind the Law of Growth is that you must first learn how to make
$100, $500, or $1,000 before you try to make $10,000.
Once you’ve achieved what I call your first ‘Financial Victory’, it will be one of the most important events in your entrepreneurial life!
The Law of Growth is a MUST for your entrepreneurial success.
In other words...
All you can do is all you can do right now!
If you’ve never made a million dollars in a month or less, then what makes you think you'll be able to do that by the end of next month?
But, we get emotionally involved with trying to figure out some magical way to do that. Even though we've never done anything NEAR that much money before.
We need to be a little more realistic.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot for the stars or try to stretch ourselves.
But, there is a point where we can be aiming so far above our current abilities that we're doing ourselves more harm than good. Because it’s not getting us anywhere.
The point is that you can probably go a lot farther (and get there a lot faster) if you have some victories and successes under your belt on the way there.
Doesn’t that make sense?
Getting that first Financial Victory will be a life-changing moment for you!
Then, so will the next one and the next one.
Each one is moving you closer to the big time and it also builds you up.
It helps you:
• Develop more belief in yourself
• Develop your self-esteem
• Feel good about yourself
• Be more willing to take even more actions
(Because you can see that you’re getting results instead of getting depressed because nothing is happening.)
And so much more!
Those are even more great reasons why you need to live by The Law of Growth.
So, why isn’t it taught more often?
It’s simply because it isn’t sexy. It’s the truth and everyone successful person knows it. But, it’s just plain not sexy.
In reality though, it needs to be shouted from the top of the mountains!
Ever since I made this discovery I’ve been sick and tired of this concept being kept hidden. And now I am on a mission to let the ‘cat out of the bag.’
It’s time the truth is revealed! It’s no longer reserved for the ‘special few’.
