No matter what your occupation is, be it self-employed or corporate climber, getting ahead and staying ahead has long been a major concern of all who are not content with merely earning a living. In our eager, sometimes feverish, pursuit of personal pot of gold (and the power and prestige that comes with it), ambitious men and women have sought the knowledge of those who have achieved success before them. 


The Mafia Manager provides for the first time in a book the knowledge and precepts of the ruthless bosses whose genius at organization and management contributed far more to profitability and growth than did the brute strength and recourse to violence of the common, unsophisticated gangster or the conventional wisdom of the legitimate CEO. 


If you are an entrepreneur or business owner and you have not read The Mafia Manager, then you are probably denying yourself knowledge of some no-nonsense leadership and business management techniques for accelerated business growth.


Today, I want to share with you 50 Notable  quotes about life and business from The Mafia Manager. These quotes about life and business are just a tip of the iceberg with respect to what is contained in The Mafia Manager.

* Don’t be too familiar with your followers; it may at first inspire affection but eventually, like all familiarity; it will breed contempt.

Please be informed dat matching henceforth will now be immediate. Dis is done in d bid to fight d issue of fake POP. A statistic was taken from blocked participants who wrote to support to be unblocked and d reason dey gave is dat dey used up d money meant to PH because of d delay in matching. To avoid repeated disappointment of people not meeting up with their orders or people uploading fake POP, d system has chosen to match participants very quickly so it meets d money still in ur hands.

YOU got it via email or what?

So I opened an account on MMM in the night around 8pm on Thursday 8th of December and immediately provided help with 50k.

Only for me to be called in the morning on Friday 9th of December by a man saying am to pay the sum of 45k into his account on that very day, I thought it was a joke and laugh it off, telling him that I just opened the account and that there is no way I would have been matched that quickly because I was told it takes about a week for you to be matched.

Moments after that another woman called saying am to pay 5k into her account courtesy MMM.

I was now forced to check my MMM account to see that I have been matched with both of them just few hours after I pledged to provide help, though I was given 90 hours which is already and still counting.

So my question is why was I matched that quickly and does the people am to pay really have to call and bug my life?

CliffordOrji:
We Igbos claim to be industrious and hard working. I guess trafficking Cocaine and selling our babies for pittance in the numerous baby factories that are in Igboland, is what we mean by ''hardowork.'' sometimes I just used to wonder if we Igbos are cursed

We need to check whether you in particular is cursed. What has her been igbo has to do with this? Must you bring tribalism into everything? So other tribes don't sell there children?

I sometimes wonder how the world would have been if Christ and Mohammed weren't who they were.

Maybe I would have been celebrated very September 24th in place of Christmas, but hey that's just my own thought.

Look, Igbo's have have to forgot all that nonsense about being superior to others and people envying them. That couldn't more far from the truth. Nobody is jealous of Igbo's.FACT!!!! When I hear all that I sometimes feel like if these people were White, they will be more racist than the White racist people or the Zionist Jews. Sad that we have people like this is our country.

YOU are the one that sounds brain-washed. What you wrote up there proves it.

“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude”. - Maya Angelou

A young bride from the East during wartime followed her husband to a U.S Army camp on the edge of the desert in California. Living conditions were primitive at best, and her husband had advised against her move, but she wanted to be with her newly wedded husband. The only housing they could find was a run-down shack near an Indian village.

The heat was unbearable in the daytime - 115˚ in the shade. The wind blew constantly, spreading dust and sand all over everything. The days were long and boring. Her only neighbours were Indians, none of whom spoke English. When her husband was ordered farther into the desert for two weeks of maneuvers, loneliness and the wretched living conditions got the best of her. She wrote to her mother that she was coming home. She couldn’t take it anymore.

In a short time she received a reply which included these two lines, “Two men looked through prison bars; one saw mud, the other saw stars”. She read the lines over and over again and began to feel ashamed of herself. She didn’t really want to leave her new husband. All right, she thought, she is going to look for the stars. In the following days she set out to make friends with the Indians, asking them to teach her weaving and pottery. At first they were distant, but as soon as they sensed her genuine interest, they returned her friendship. She became friendly with their culture and history – in fact, everything about them. She began to study the desert, it too changed from a desolate, forbidding place to a marvelous thing if beauty.

She had her mother send her books. She studied the forms of cacti, the yuccas and the Joshua trees. She collected sea shells that had been left there when the sands had been an ocean floor. Later, she became such an expert on the area that she wrote a book
about it.

Wayne Dyer said “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”. We are individually responsible for our view of life. Whenever you are in a difficult situation ask yourself this question “What is the positive side of this thing, what is the good in this situation or what is the possibility that this thing will work out?” Our minds is our garden, our thoughts are the seed, so we can choose to plant flowers or weeds but remember the Bible says “Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

What had changed? Not the desert; not the Indians. Simply by changing her mind-set she had transformed a miserable experience into a highly rewarding one. She had turned a dusty and hot desert into a precious one.

“A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, and a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty”. - John Grogan


 Have you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that does not have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, a canary has to sing, a bee has to give honey and an ant has to work its ass off all day not even sleeping at night. How then does the dog manage to do this must be the question in your mind right now. Well the dog does this my being genuinely interested in man and being the best friend of man. The dog is the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known. 

When you met him, while walking down the street even when you are ten feet from him, he will begin to wag his tail. If you stop and pat him he will almost jump out of his skin to show you how much he likes you. You see it in his eyes that he genuinely loves you. And you know that behind this show of affection on his part, there are no ulterior motives. He does not want to sell you any real estate; he does not want to marry you and he is not expecting a bribe from you. But all these he does because he loves and is genuinely interested in you. 

Yes, the dog stays awake to guard you in the night while you sleep, comfort you when the world has left you, go on errands for you, follow you everywhere you go even when you don’t it to come along and protects you not because you are going to pay it at the end of the month. A dog won’t forsake its master because of his poverty. But because he is your friend and is genuinely interested in you. 

Dale Carnegie wrote "You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you" Another way to establish a good relationship with people and win them over to your side is to truly interested in them, to listen with the intention of really learning about them. Smile at them. Learn their names and how to pronounce them. Get the spelling and the titles right. Be curious about other people, what they feel, how they think, how they see the world, what are their hopes, dreams and fears? What are their aspirations? Notice what makes them happy and unhappy. When people feel that you are really interested in getting to know them and their feeling, they will open up to you and share their true feelings with you much more quickly.
