You and your thoughts

I was minding my business one beautiful night when I heard a loud sound in my area. The transformer blew up and there was a blackout. My neighbors began to say that there would be no power supply till February. Meaning that we will not have electricity in the area for two months. Some said we were now into another power supply issue at the beginning of the year. Different people said all kind of negative statements because of what they heard and the way the power supply went off. Suprisingly, not even up to twenty minutes the "condemned" power supply returned and all of them who prophesied were speechless. This is exactly how many people live thier lives. Just because of the sound of a threat they hear, many run away and give up their dreams. Many concluded that it's over because of a big blow that happened to them in their business. I've been saying this and I will also say it again: "Life will always test your commitment and patience on anything you d...

Sell your ways through life 2

Late last year, I created a short E-book (PDF file) on how to make money through WhatsApp & I sold it at the rate of #500. To some it was crazy, to some it doesn't make sense & to me it's my way of giving out values to those who needed it. I held a free WhatsApp class, thought the participants what I know & after the class I packaged it as a PDF file & sold it for #500. In December alone I made 8 sales & someone suprisingly rewarded me with #1000 for the PDF. Little abi? Well that's not the point. The point is that whatsoever gifts or skills you have, it is high time for you to let the world  knows about it. It will surely be little at first before becoming great. Just come out. What is your profession? Are you into selling a product or rendering a service? How many people knows that you are into it? Friend, it's time to come out from that cave & let the world knows what you do. The good news is that Social Media has made it s...

Selling your ways through life

While I was in school few years ago, one of the negative philosophy I had then was that I can't sell because I don't like selling. I prefer living a quiet life without asking anyone to give me money. I had a laptop system with me & I can surf the internet so well to get any information that I needed. My writing skill was not that bad then. So I did many things for students free of charge even though I was damn broke. These attitudes went on for many years until my final year at school when I needed money for my final project, departmental fees & the likes of fellowship expenses before leaving the school. Problem came & I needed money. With the help of a close girlfriend, I set up a small computer business in my room & began to type & print documents for students, most especially the final year students projects. This action helped me to solved all my financial crisis at that time. I must confess, I blamed myself for not starting the business earlier...
