Hello,

Trust you are good.

I just want to share an article that I shared on my blog (stephenadetoludotcom). I hope it adds value to your life.

In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of business, the importance of knowledge cannot be overstated. As the business landscape continues to change rapidly, those who thrive are the ones who embrace a culture of continuous learning and understand that success is often directly tied to the depth and breadth of their knowledge.

The Quote in Context:

"If what you know until now has not given you what you want, then what you know is not sufficient."

This powerful quote serves as a wake-up call for business professionals, urging them to reassess their current knowledge base and recognize its limitations. It challenges individuals to consider that the absence of desired outcomes may be a direct result of inadequate understanding or outdated information.

The Imperative of Adaptability:

In today's business environment, adaptability is key. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow, and the ability to pivot and evolve depends on a robust foundation of knowledge. Stagnation in knowledge can lead to missed opportunities, inefficiencies, and, ultimately, a failure to meet business objectives.

Continuous Learning as a Competitive Advantage:

Successful businesses understand that knowledge is a competitive advantage. Staying ahead of industry trends, emerging technologies, and market dynamics requires a commitment to continuous learning. This may involve investing in employee training programs, fostering a culture of curiosity, and encouraging the pursuit of new skills and expertise.

Identifying Knowledge Gaps:

To address the limitations highlighted in the quote, business leaders must first identify their knowledge gaps. This involves a candid assessment of current skills, industry knowledge, and awareness of market trends. Businesses can leverage tools such as skills assessments, market research, and feedback mechanisms to pinpoint areas where additional knowledge is needed.

Strategic Knowledge Acquisition:

Once knowledge gaps are identified, strategic knowledge acquisition becomes the next crucial step. This could involve hiring experts in specific domains, partnering with external consultants, or providing employees with access to relevant training and development programs. The goal is to ensure that the knowledge within the organization aligns with current business goals and industry demands.

Embracing a Culture of Learning:

To foster continuous improvement, businesses must cultivate a culture that values learning. This involves encouraging employees to seek out new information, rewarding innovation, and creating an environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth rather than failures. A learning culture not only enhances individual capabilities but also contributes to the collective intelligence of the organization.

The Role of Technology:

In the digital age, technology plays a pivotal role in facilitating knowledge acquisition. Businesses can leverage e-learning platforms, data analytics, and artificial intelligence to streamline information dissemination and enhance learning experiences. Embracing technological advancements ensures that businesses remain agile and responsive to the changing landscape.

In conclusion, the quote serves as a poignant reminder that success in business is intrinsically linked to the depth and relevance of knowledge. To achieve desired outcomes, businesses must embrace a proactive approach to learning, constantly reassessing and expanding their knowledge base. In a world where change is the only constant, those who prioritize knowledge acquisition position themselves not only to survive but to thrive in the face of uncertainty.

Hello Brethren,

I am happy to be here and am glad to offer myself to Christians who are ready to take responsibility for their outcomes.

God bless us!

Hey there, fellow Nigerians!

I understand that the current economic situation in our beloved country may seem daunting and challenging. But in the face of adversity, it is crucial to maintain a positive mindset and believe in our ability to thrive. Remember, it's during tough times that the true strength of individuals and communities shines through. So, let's join hands and embark on a journey of resilience and growth together!

Here are some tips to help you maintain a positive mindset and unleash your full potential, regardless of the economic challenges we face:

Embrace a Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset is key to overcoming obstacles. Understand that setbacks are temporary, and with the right attitude and effort, you can learn and grow from them. Believe in your ability to adapt, acquire new skills, and find innovative solutions.

Develop Your Skills: In today's ever-changing job market, developing a diverse skill set is essential. Identify your strengths and areas for improvement. Invest time in learning new skills, whether through online courses, vocational training, or networking events. Acquiring in-demand skills can enhance your employability and open up new opportunities.

Pursue Entrepreneurship: The challenging economy can also serve as a breeding ground for entrepreneurship. Consider starting your own business or exploring self-employment opportunities. Identify gaps in the market and innovative ways to fill them. Take advantage of resources like small business loans, mentorship programs, and networking platforms to support your entrepreneurial journey.

Network and Collaborate: Building strong connections with like-minded individuals is vital for personal and professional growth. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and engage in online communities. Collaborate with others, share knowledge, and leverage the power of networking to expand your horizons and uncover potential opportunities.

Embrace Technology: Technology has revolutionized the way we live and work. Embrace it as a tool for personal and professional advancement. Stay updated with the latest tech trends, explore digital platforms for freelancing or remote work, and utilize digital tools to enhance your productivity and efficiency.

Focus on Personal Development: While it's essential to address the economic challenges around us, don't neglect your personal well-being and growth. Invest in self-care, engage in hobbies, and pursue activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. A healthy and balanced life equips you with the resilience and energy needed to face challenges head-on.

Seek Support: Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Seek support from friends, family, and mentors who can provide guidance and encouragement. Join support groups or online communities where you can share experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges. Together, we can uplift one another and build a stronger Nigeria.

In conclusion, my fellow Nigerians, let's not allow the current economic challenges to define us. Instead, let's embrace a positive mindset, believe in our abilities, and unleash our full potential. By adopting a growth mindset, developing our skills, exploring entrepreneurship, networking, embracing technology, focusing on personal development, and seeking support, we can thrive despite the odds.

Remember, tough times don't last, but resilient and determined individuals do. Together, let's rise above the challenges and build a brighter future for ourselves and our beloved Nigeria!

Stay positive, stay motivated, and keep striving for greatness!

Hello,

I have heard so many people talk about how bad the Nigerian economy is, especially after the recent hike in pump prices. While we cannot deny the obvious, you can still thrive.

I want you to know that you can still thrive despite the seemingly challenging times. It is all about your mindset and how you interpret the situation.

I know you might not want to hear me, probably because you have heard a lot of motivational talks that didn't seem to carry any substances. My intention is to help you see things differently.

This is because, once you are able to get your mind to see things differently, you will automatically put yourself in a position to take the necessary action required to change your situation.

You must understand that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world (mind). This is why I am particular about seeing things differently from your mind.

You were created, designed and equipped to thrive, irrespective of the situation around you. It all comes down to enriching your mind with the right information and knowledge.

Instead of making negative pronouncements, why don't you speak from your higher self. From the place of ABUNDANCE. You may not see it yet, but getting your mind to believe is the place of power!

Believing is the key that unlocks the possibility that you carry.

Trust me, the Universe will respond to anyone who believes and acts in accordance to their conviction.

You can thrive because that is your heritage! You were created to Dominate! To Shine and To Flourish (Gen 1:26-28, Ps 92:12-14)

Ideas to thrive will be revealed to you when you believe.

Just believe in God's ability to see you through.

You must start taking responsibility for your outcome

Have you been swindled, duped or manipulated in your quest to make money online? This article will give you the insight you need to pick the bits and pieces of your life and become a success again..Enjoy!

I have seen and heard people talk negatively about internet business and how fraudulent the whole thing sounds. Well, I am not going to make any excuse for anyone, rather, my quest here is to drive home and make you see and believe that the internet is a legitimate place to make real money.

Before I start, let me mention here that the internet works like any other business you may think about. By common sense, the only way to make money in any business or venture is by either selling a product or service. Anything outside this is fraudulent!
Another thing I wish to state here is the fact that, the internet cannot make you an overnight millionaire.

Many people have fallen victim of this lie…they have been brain washed into believing that by pressing a few buttons here and there, they can become instant millionaires. Again, this is fallacy and a very BIG LIE!!!
Unfortunately, the internet has been a den of fraudsters, thieves and criminal who are bent on stealing from unsuspecting victims. Their victims are usually naïve, clueless and desperate to make money online.

In their quest, the victims don’t bother to think twice or ask questions, it is as though their brains seize to function at that particular moment. Besides, there is always a psychological game these thieves play by selling opportunities that are too good to be true.

Perhaps, because of the current economic situation in Nigeria, it is not surprising to see a lot of people fall into the trap of these internet fraudsters. It is pathetic to see how many people are left in pain and sorrow afterwards. I recently met a client who narrated his ordeal, my God; it is surprising to see how people have become desperate and heartless, all in the name of making money online.

My admonition to every Nigerian is this; take your time to learn from the scratch! Be patient..There is nothing like overnight riches on the internet. If you have to make money online, then be ready to work hard at whatever you desire to do. You will never make money online by doing nothing…You will have to either sell products or render services.

These are the only legitimate ways to make money online in Nigeria.
Now here is the caveat…Internet business exists and you can make legitimate money online. You don’t need to be fraudulent or swindle anyone to make money…NO!

All you need is to have the right system in place. I have been in the business of making money online for the past 10 years and it has been a tremendous journey thus far. Get the right system in place; learn how to differentiate between an online business and an opportunity.

Nigerians, open your eyes!!!

I wonder why we keep falling for cheap stuff. People want to make money without working for it...how can that be possible?

If it sounds too good to be true, then it is a very big lie!!! I still wonder why people waste their precious time on opportunities that does them no good. Why not settle for a business that will pay you for life. Besides, how can you refer people and earn $500...Haba, lets tell ourselves the truth. I am ready to show anyone the right business that will pay real money into your Nigerian bank account, as long as you are ready to work.

Be careful guys, learn to differentiate between an opportunity and a business. One is just a onetime show, while the other lasts for a lifetime. Use your head and choose wisely.

Well said! Until you become agitated for success, it will never happen. There are so many opportunities out there...One needs to explore wisely!!

From the article I posted previously, you will agree with me that Salary is fast losing its relevance owing to the fact that it cannot make you or I wealthy in the long run.

In my opinion therefore, I want to advice anyone who is under paid employment whatsoever, to start viewing salary as a seed to help you start, grow and build a business. In essence, the way to wealth and financial freedom is to own your business!

Now, there is a concept to business, but unfortunately, a lot of people do not seem to understand the nitty-gritty of a business. There is a difference between a money making opportunity and a business.

I hope to give more insights into the principle of owning and sustaining a successful business, maybe I could even start a new thread. Lets see.

Before, I come up with the next post, I wish to urge you to start looking out for a business that you can run side by side to your job. Start Now!!!

Talk to you soon.

Please permit me to ask this question? Can this so called luna sustain you for life? Give it a deep thought before venturing.

In my opinion, I feel, there are better Nigerian businesses that can give you more than what you earn out there. More importantly, is the fact that, your earnings will be paid directly into your bank account. Look out for them, am sure you will find them...

Have you considered online marketing? I mean affiliate marketing, it is also a profitable venture, if you understand the nitty-gritty

Simply put, affiliate marketing is a business model that has to do with selling other people's products. In this case, the product is not your, all you have to do is to refer people to buy from the vendor's store and you will be credited with the purchase. You will earn commission, based on the agreed terms with the vendor on every sale made through you.

There are a lot of technical details involved therein, however, affiliate marketing is the easiest model to start making money online

This is what I do for a living and its been successful for me so far.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need more details, I will be glad to assist

Cheers

A friend recent shared an article with me, it was shocking, but very insightful. I want you to read and digest the content therein, hope it will ignite something new in you. Its about Salary and your future. Happy Reading...

Research had it that the poorest groups of people in the world are salary earners, next are beggars. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, Managed on 30 days, salary is continuously being awaited every month and any slight delay brings about heart-breaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment.

Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need multiple sources of income to balance. The tax return form contains about 11 income streams, of which salary is just one… Don’t live Life fishing with just one hook; there are many fishes in the ocean.
Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not to CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty!
Most investors are not salary earners!!!

The difference between those beggars on the street and salary earners is one month salary. Truncate the flow of their salary for one month and you would realize that majority belong to the lower class. If you divide your salary by the rate of exchange, you will discover that you are poorer, relative to when you started work.

Or divide your salary per annum by 2,000 hours to know what your one hour is worth. If you do not have three months’ salary in savings, you are already poor. Being a salary earner is a mentality, BREAK IT!!!
Your worth is far more than your salary!!!

Salary is the value someone has put on your effort. How much do you value yourself? You can’t increase in value, unless you value yourself differently.

Life is a trade-off between time, effort and reward. To be rewarded more, you have to become more valuable. Most salary earners end up poor in the long and short term.

I therefore urge every one of us to be FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT, FINANCIALLY LITERATE and OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES IN PROBLEMS. Delve into entrepreneurship because salary is a lifetime disappointment.

Being a Salary Earner or Investor is a decision.

Life will not change until you decide. Make the move!!!

I wish we could make this thread more interesting by building a whole lot of conversation around it. Let me start by asking you this simple question...

Will your job allow you take sometime out to do something extra, in order to earn some extra money? In other words, can you have something beside your job that earns you extra money?

Please, let us discuss...

I agree totally with the writer's submission about passive income. My concept about wealth and financial freedom is hinged on the principle advanced by Warren Buffet...Until your Passive Income exceeds your expenses, you cannot be said to be wealth or rich. This implies that Salary alone cannot make anyone rich.

Network and Affiliate Marketing are my best vehicle to wealth. I currently run a network marketing business that is hinged on the basic hallmark of Integrity, Honesty, Fear of God. It is about building a network or community of like minded people, whose sole aim is to help each other and become wealthy.

This is what I do for a living and God has helped me so well.

In Nigeria, I see a lot of struggling for white colored jobs. While we work at this jobs all our lives, it is important we realize that they don't always give us the satisfaction we desire in life.

I saw a documentary recently on Nigeria Security and Mint Printing Company, the sorry state of its pensioners of 1991-2005 is pathetic. While a lot of the workers who dedicated their entire lives to the development of the company have died in poverty, many still living don't have anything tangible to fall back on.

This reality downed on me, hence the need to let everyone out there know that Salary alone will not make you wealthy. The only sure way to wealth is to have an extra income source. Good news is that there are many credible platforms out there.

There is a touching write up I stumbled on, hopefully, I should share it here soon for everyone to learn and take heed. Don't rely on your Salary alone!!!

Nigerians wake up!

I am pleased to have learnt a lot about domain parking business, this still stress the fact that online business remains a reliable source of making money.

Unfortunately, from some of our comments herein, we seem not convinced about earning extra income. Meanwhile, the writer has done a good job to enlighten us. Truth is, salary alone will never make anyone rich or wealthy, rather, the extra income we earn by the side is what gives us the financial edge.

The secret to wealth is to discover a source of generating passive income. When your passive income exceeds your expenses, that is when you can be said to be wealthy. The good news is that there are many passive income sources out there, one only needs to discover the right one and stick to it.

Learn the rudiments and get working. Most importantly, you need to first accept the fact that Salary alone will not meet your needs or make you wealthy. You need a good source of earning extra income.

This is the truth!

Hello Nigerians,

There is one thing, I have discovered about we humans and until we understand this concept, am afraid, lots of people will still be going round and round in life without attaining their true potential.

First, let me establish the fact that every human being was created by the Almighty to fulfill a desired purpose. Save to say, no two humans have the same destiny.

But the big question in my mind is this...why are majority of people not attaining their full potential in life? Why do people seek to copy others?

Here is my point, a lot of people are not successful in life, because they do not understand the concept of LIFE itself...

Those who are successful don't have two heads, rather, their is a particular pattern of life which they understand, that others don't.

The bitter truth is that until you figure this out, am afraid, you will continue to go round and round without attaining your goal.

I hope this will provoke something positive in someone.

Thank you for taking time to read.

Talk to you soon

Cheers

Great Emperorchix! Its so heart warming to hear your story.

I have made all my money online so far through referral marketing. The important thing to look out for is the product offering. If the product is good enough, be assured, the platform can help you make money.

I am currently involved with one, that has one of the most powerful product offering.

Lets hear more testimonials and probably use this thread as a means of educating and informing others.

Keep your testimonials coming...

Today, I will be doing an article on Living Life on your own terms by Getting out of your Comfort Zone. Happy Reading...

What does living life on your own terms mean to you?

Many people today dream of living life on their own terms, because they want the freedom of being able to do whatever they want. However, they don’t really know what it means to live life on your own terms.

Living life on your own terms means that you aren’t afraid of confrontation, and you’ll always put your own best interests first. If it doesn’t benefit you, you’re not going to like it, and you’ll do whatever you can to avoid it.

If you want to do something that you enjoy, such as building your online business, you’ll do it. However, if there’s something you don’t like doing, like a certain business model, you won’t go near it.

If you want to find personal satisfaction in life, you’re going to have to live life on your own terms. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself being used as a doormat instead of being happy.

By living on your own terms, you not only discover what you find most important in life, but you also maintain a constant feeling of satisfaction and happiness. You’ll also figure out who’s working against you in your life and who you need to stop associating with.

However, with all of the positive aspects of living on your own terms, there are a few negatives. By choosing to live your life as you see fit, you’ll discover that it’s a very different life than most people lead you to believe.

Many people are used to trying to help others more than they help themselves, so this will be a very harsh change of pace for them. You’ll have to get used to saying no to things you don’t want to do, where in the past, you’d simply put up with it.

These changes will take some time to make, but you’ll find that it’s well worth it when you’re finally used to it. By picking and choosing how you live each day, you open up many more paths for personal satisfaction and happiness.

You block out most negativity in your life, and only live for the things you truly enjoy and love. By blocking out negativity, there will be very little left in your way to your goals, and the stuff that’s still blocking you will be easily overcome with the right attitude.

You may find yourself in a better situation financially, by moving on to a career you’re happy with rather than staying stuck in one you’re not pleased about. You’ll also be happier after weeding out the people in your life that are working against you, leaving you with only your true friends and loyal loved ones.

Hi there,

I am just wondering, is there anyone out there who disagrees with my submission that Not Taking Action and Addiction to TV are two causes of being broke?

I will love to hear from you or perhaps, you could have other suggestions to add.

Glad to hear from you...

Talk soon

Fellow Nigerians,

Believe it or not, most Nigerians, given the current economic situation are always broke. I am surprised by this submission, but it is the bitter truth. Just last night, I was somewhere in my neighborhood and this conversation ensued between a group of people. The height of their discussion hinged on the fact that everyone is broke. That is, people do not have sufficient money to meet their everyday needs.

Being broke should not be an issue, but when it becomes a habit, then, it calls for concern. If you are among those, who are constantly broke, I suggest that you re-examine your lifestyle.

However, I have highlighted Two (2) Actions that will help you stay out of being broke.

1. Take Action
Life is all about taking action. Every human being has the desire to achieve success, in terms of finances, wealth, health, relationship etc. Take it or leave it, the only reason why people are not living their dream life is because they are not ready to take the necessary action. Let me ask you, how many times have you seen opportunities to better your life and you let them go? This happens because people harbor all sorts of concerns and fears which hinders them from taking the necessary actions. I urge you to TAKE ACTION on that plan/goal that will give you the major financial breakthrough in life. Start that business, Take that course, Learn that skill etc...Do it today!

2. TV Addiction
Lots of people spend their entire lifetime watching TV, not knowing they are inviting poverty into their lives. Why waste your precious time, (which could have been invested into some viable ventures), on worthless programs that don't add value to your life? The more time you spend watching TV, the quicker poverty catches up with you (This is the biggest shocker!!!). If you are addicted to watching TV, I urge you today to make up your mind and do something reasonable with your time.

There are still more tips, I would have loved to give you, but time and chance will not permit. However, I currently run a blog where I pour out myself to help other people live their dream life.

The truth is this, God created us to enjoy this life, but our Actions or In-actions are the BIG Factors, limiting us. The only remedy is to pursue a good cause and stay motivated.

I intend to continue posting on this platform, until my mission of building a community of SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE is achieved.

Talk to you soon..

Irrespective of how old or young you are, what you do for your living or where you belong, everyone share something common i.e. they want to be successful in life. But every person’s definition of being successful is different in some way or the other. While some may call success as having a faithful spouse or being a responsible parent, others equate it with fame, power and wealth.

So, before heading forward, define success and what it means to you. You cannot be successful if you don’t know what it actually means to you. Set your goals clear and try to be as much realistic as possible.

Plan ahead and plan big
Next in the journey towards success is to plan ahead of what you want to achieve in life and plan big for yourself. Never underestimate your worth or skills and plan accordingly.

Lean how to balance life
After careful and wise planning, balance your life like your professional, financial, personal things very logically and practically.
Find the purpose or goal of your life

Know the things that affect you, the things you simply love to do and the ones that provide you utter satisfaction. As you identify what you like, you can use it to find the main goal of your life. Knowing what you love will bring you motivation along the course of your journey towards attaining success.

Stay away from distractions
Distractions can be the spice or forbidden fruit in your life, as per the way you take it. So be clear and be focused on your goals. Distractions will surely be there but don’t make them affect you. When you see that your goals take a backseat because of such distractions, just banish them for once and for all. `

Accept things as they come
You need to accept the fact that life can be really unfair. You can repent about it and just wish it to be different or you can also take the step forward to go out there and really do something. Stop wasting your time and use situations for your own benefit. Just think that Newton would have complained about apple falling on his head and hitting him but instead of that he discovered the law of gravity.

Say goodbye to all your fears
Remove fear from your thinking and stay focused on positive things in life. And when you fail, just don’t be fearful, be positive and start again.


In fact, the road towards success will be complete with hard work, rejections, pain, disappointment and other things but as you reach the end, you will definitely feel victorious and happy. You will feel really proud about overcoming the obstacles and reaching out to your goals. Also, you will be satisfied and happy when you start experiencing that success is coming your way. So all the very best, try the above mentioned suggestions and you will truly be successful in no time. Always remember that success comes to those who try hard. Just follow this and enjoy a successful life ahead.

My goal is to help you attain your God given purpose in life, that is Happiness and Fulfillment!

Cheers!
