If you tell the world the recipe for the dish you plan to cook and sell tomorrow, someone will cook and sell it today and everyone will say you copied them.

Keep your plans secret. Social media is for social things. Your secrets are serious things!

Progress is a process, not an address. You dont get to a point and say you have arrived at progress.


Except you‘re dead, you must keep improving. The day you stop pedalling your bike, you will fall. The day you stop improving, you fall down and die.

How can you wake up in the morning and because you feel somehow you just act out how you feel.


That means your feelings control you. If you wake up feeling bad, Order your mind and body to feel good. You are their boss. They are not your boss.

Telling people your goals gives them opportunity to shift the goal post before you can score a goal.


The surest success formula is to have big ears and a small mouth. By listening more than you talk, you increase your chance of scoring goals 100%.

Many people suffer from inferiority complex and think those who don’t have a low self esteem, like them, are proud.


Confidence is NOT pride. It is Godly. God has empowered you to achieve anything you put your heart to do. ASSURANCE is not ARROGANCE.

Too many people mistake process for progress. The fact you‘re busy doesn’t mean you‘re productive.


All promotion comes from God and He promotes those who deliver results instead of activity. It matters not if they are Christians. God is NOT partial.

Even if your father is a gravedigger, and your mother a toilet washer, NEVER be ashamed of them.

Their job may have been dirty, but the dirty job produced the clean money that made you the huge success you are. Clean them up as they cleaned you up!

You own your feelings. Your feelings don’t own you. If you suddenly start feeling down, command yourself to feel good.

Find a quiet room to laugh for one full minute until you start feeling good again. Never tolerate bad moods. Celebrate good moods.

The best way to get promoted in the office is not to lick your boss' boots. If you want promotion, work as if you are working for God.


Work for God, not for salary. Promotion that lasts and brings wealth and peace of mind comes FROM God THROUGH men.

Anyone who has given you either food or money during this CoronaVirus lockdown, and was not mandated to do so by government, is your real friend.


They are someone who met you at the point of your need. When this is over, don’t forget such persons!

* Age gives you white hair, but sadly, it is money that gives you respect

* Never keep up with your neighbor. You will spend your capital trying to impress people who are not capital.

* If you must save, save to invest. Savings depreciate over time.
Re: Wisdom That Works- ONER by Fairview1: 2:51am On Apr 29, 2020
Basic Rules of Money

* Money follows SEED, not NEED
* Spend debt on investment, not consumption

* It is broke people who are impressed by your designers. Those who can help you are not.

* As you grow older, having money makes you bolder, not older.

Increase your productivity by preparing for tomorrow today. Select what you will wear tomorrow, and have breakfast ready before you sleep.

They are small things, but the small edge they give you is the winners edge. Shape the future in the present.

You dont have to make noise to make news. Just make legal money. When you succeed, even if you change your hairstyle, it will be front page news.


On your birthday, newspapers will be full of congratulations. Success makes you a newsworthy celebrity.

Money adds volume to your voice. If you want your voice to be heard, go and make money, (but make it honestly).

The broker you are, the more you have to shout to be heard. But if you have a few billions, even your whisper will heard from miles away.

I was stunned to hear AlikoDangote speak for the first time in 2011 at Aso Rock Presidential Villa. I learnt a lesson from his small voice.


You dont have to shout to be heard. Instead, succeed and you will be heard. Money adds volume to your voice.

Praying to God for success without making a plan is stupidity, not faith. It is impossible to become successful without a plan.

No matter how big your salary is, don’t depend on it. Work for your boss during work hours. Work on your plan after work.

Know where you money is going. Keep a list of what you spend daily if you want to be more discipline with your money.

Control money. Don't let it control you. Don't let spending money get you excited. Learn to derive excitement from investing money.

Two things you must endure if you want rainbows in your life, rain and mud. A successful man must endure haters and critics.


Only fake sugar does not attract ants. If you are successful and you don’t have enemies, you need to question your success.

The more the arrow bends backwards the further it flies. The more setbacks you face the more progress awaits you ahead.


If life was perfect, you wouldn’t learn and you will not grow. Remember that what Satan intended for evil, God intends for good!

Dont go from Twitter to facebook to IG to Snapchat all day. Set aside time to be still, so God can speak to you.

Many of us are too distracted by social media for God to speak with us. Even our dreams are disturbed by the alerts from our phones.
Re: Wisdom That Works- ONER by Fairview1: 3:04am On Apr 29, 2020
Dont conform to this world. Follow passion, not fashion. Read Scripture. During the day ponder what you read.


Apply Scripture you read in real life situations. When you do, God will bless your natural efforts so that they yield supernatural results.

There is no SECRET to success. There is rather a PROCESS for success. I assure you that if you faithfully follow the process listed in Psalm 1:1-3, success will be yours.


That Scripture contains the law of PROCESS that leads to PROGRESS and SUCCESS.

If inflation rate is 1%, banks will give you a savings rate of 0.5%. You will be happy, thinking your money is growing.

In reality, it is depreciating. Don’t be their fool. Invest in something that yields an interest higher than the inflation rate!

As a man thinks, so is he’-Proverbs 23:7. The state of your thoughts determines the state of your life.

If you want to be a success, start thinking of yourself as a success. Your spiritual thoughts attract the physical success you desire in life.

Your great grandparents never had smartphones or smart TVs yet they were happy, so what is your excuse for not being happy?

Stop tying your happiness to the attainment of wealth. That is an evil philosophy. Many villagers are poor, yet happy.

Opportunity is like war. You cant prepare for war or opportunity when you see them, or you lose. Prepare now, before they come.

How are you preparing for opportunity during CoronaVirus pandemic by watching TV 24/7. Opportunity is ready. Are you?

The reason they call putting money in banks SAVING is because you save the bank, not yourself. Invest money, dont save it.

None of those on Forbes rich list have savings. Their net worth is a calculation of their assets, not their cash in the bank.
Re: Wisdom That Works- ONER by Fairview1: 3:11am On Apr 29, 2020
Before you invest in shares, real estate and bonds, invest in yourself by reading and learning about them.

Even Scripture says "my people perish from lack of knowledge”-Hos 4:6. Lack of knowledge will kill you. Read books and live, and even thrive.

Working hard isn't necessarily a virtue. God gave you a brain to help you work smart and save you from laborious hard work.

Starting your own business is risky. So is driving, yet you still drive. Dont focus on the risk. Focus on the possibilities.

When you accept that education is a process that continues until you are in the grave, you can’t be poor.


If you evaluate your life, you will see that it is the education you gained outside school that is more relevant to your progress in life.

Education shouldn’t end at school. That thinking is why many are poor even with degrees. You aren’t educated just to get a job.

There‘s nothing like job security. You can be fired. It‘s not your father's property. The only Security is your business.
