Bros, I've been following your thread, very educative, GOD bless for the good work...

Not that I hate her but, I don't like her style, she is not social.

Sorry, pick it up and continue reading....

Smiles... And you think this is simple? My glasses fell down twice before I finished reading it

One simple,... not single

ademasta:
Na one SINGLE rule long like this?

The other day I went out at night and fell asleep on a park bench.

When I opened my eyes I pretended I had just came into the world. I had to re-learn everything.

That’s the way I should’ve been when I was younger. Maybe I would’ve avoided many problems if I just realized I knew nothing.

The one simple rule which transcends everything else is:

All successful people started off knowing nothing. You will avoid problems if you realized you knew nothing.

They studied the people who came before them. Who studied the people who came before them. And so on.

I really admire Richard Branson. He’s one to study.

Richard Branson is the perfect example of “Ready. Fire. Aim.” He starts something. He does it. Then he looks to see if he hit the target. If not, he starts something new.

I love the story of how he started Virgin Airlines. He was already successful from Virgin Music. Note that now he has nothing to do with Virgin Music.

I don’t even know if Virgin Music still exists. All that is left is Virgin Air.

A plane had gotten cancelled. Everyone was upset.

But Branson wasn’t upset. He found a plane that would take him. But he didn’t have the money.

One good thing to start with always is to imagine the obstacles gone. Imagine, “if I wasn’t worried about money, would I still make this trip?”

I call this IDEA SUBTRACTION. Subtract the perceived obstacles to an idea and (BAM!) you find that many more ideas are born from that.

First, he arranged to rent the private plane, even though he still had the obstacle (“no money”).

Then he put up a sign: “$29 for a plane to Puerto Rico.” And everyone signed up. Suddenly he had the money for the plane.

That was his proof-of-concept for an airline. Now that is his main business and it’s worth billions.

Here’s ten quotes from him that I think are valuable.

1. Richard Branson: “Listen more than you talk. Nobody learned anything by hearing themselves speak.”

2. Richard Branson: “Start making suggestions for how to improve your workplace. Don’t be a shrinking violet, quietly getting your job done adequately. Be bold, and the sky is the limit.”

Note he’s not suggesting start a company. You can always create inside ANY surrounding and you will be infinitely rewarded for that.

The first employee at Google is now a multi-billionaire even though nobody knows his name (Craig Silverstein). He was an employee and he created and blossomed.

3. Richard Branson: “Age isn’t as important so long as you are surrounded by people you love, doing things you passionately believe in.”

I truly believe this. We all have things we love to do. And it’s the people around us who love us that help us unlock these dreams.

It’s ONLY when you find the people you love, you can create and flourish. Henry Ford was 45 when he started his third car company and created the assembly line. He did this once he eliminated all the people who tried to control him at prior companies.

Colonel Sanders was 65 when he started “Kentucky Fried Chicken”.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was 65 when she wrote her first book. The book that would turn into the series, “Little House on the Prairie”.

This was after she had been totally wiped out in the Great Depression and left with nothing but she started to surround herself with people who encouraged her and pushed her to pursue writing to make ends meet.

4. Richard Branson: “What I personally know would make up a dot so minuscule it couldn’t be seen. What humanity has collectively learned so far would make up a tiny mark within the circle. Everything we all have to learn in the future would take up the rest of the space. It is a big universe, and we are all learning more about it every day. If you aren’t listening, you are missing out.”

The other day someone asked me if I believed in “God.” There’s no answer. Always have reverence for the infinite things we will never know. Our brains are too small.

This next quote I slightly want to change:

5. Richard Branson: “To be a real entrepreneur you always have to be looking forward. The moment you rest on your laurels is the moment your competition overtakes you.”

I think ‘entrepreneur’ can be changed to ‘human.” We all have to survive and succeed first as humans. And the job description changes every day.

Every day there is room to finish this sculpture that began the moment our mothers released us into the world.

6. Richard Branson: “There is no such thing as a boring person: everyone has stories and insights worth sharing. While on the road, we let our phones or laptops take up our attention. By doing that, we might miss out on the chance to learn and absorb ideas and inspiration from an unexpected source: our fellow travelers.”

Every day has stories hidden inside of them, like a treasure hunt. When you find those stories, you get rewarded. Not by money, but by…I don’t know. Something. You feel it when it happens.

7. Richard Branson: “It can be easy to find reasons not to do something. However you might be surprised by how much help is at hand if you put yourself out there and commit to a project. It doesn’t have to be a case of struggling along by yourself.”

We live in a world of connection. The barriers we’ve erected by storytelling (religion, nationalism, corporatism) are breaking down.

You can crowdsource a revolution with a single tweet now. There are a million ways to ask for help and a million people who want to help you.

But it’s hard to ask. There’s the old fears of rejection. Fears of people viewing asking as weakness. Fears of infringing on someone by asking.

Offer value in your ask and then the reasons to not do something start to go away until there are none left.

And again, Branson is referring to “idea subtraction” which has constantly propelled him from success to success.

8. Richard Branson: “When most people think about taking a risk they associate it with negative connotations, when really they should view it as a positive opportunity. Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. Whether that means studying a course to enable a change of direction, taking up an entry level position on a career ladder you want to be a part of, or starting your own business — you’ll never know if you don’t give it a try.”

Another example of how Branson would use “idea subtraction” to come up with tons of ideas.

For instance, sometimes people say, “If only I knew how to program I could do X.” Well, imagine you could program. Subtract that worry. Now what ideas would you implement?

You can always subtract a worry. Whether it’s putting up a sign (“$29 to get to Puerto Rico”) or, as Branson suggests above, taking an entry level position.

When I started my first successful company my job title was, “Jr. Programmer Analyst” at HBO and I had $0 in the bank.

I took an entry level job so I could move to NYC and start making connections. I stayed at that job for three years while building my network.

For more than half of those three years I had my first company on the side, building up.
I was afraid all the time I would get caught doing two jobs at the same time.

But I did learn that these almost insurmountable obstacles were the EXACT reason I had huge opportunities.

When people think a problem is impossible they value it at zero. Successful people buy ideas low (zero) and sell them high.

You ask “why can’t I?” as in the following quote from Branson:

9. Richard Branson: “I’ve always had a soft spot for dreamers – not those who waste their time thinking ‘what if’ but the ones who look to the sky and say ‘why can’t I shoot for the moon?’”

Does he really mean the moon here? Or does that sound cliche? Let’s look.

When Branson was a teenager and started his first magazine devoted to music, I doubt he was thinking about shooting for the moon.

But who knows? Now his biggest investment is Virgin Galactic. That magazine (which he started despite severe dyslexia) literally turned into a company that is now shooting to land a ship on the moon.

Why not? Why not?

10. Richard Branson: “Together we can make the products, services, businesses, ideas, and politics for a better future. In this ‘new power’ world, we are all makers. Let’s get making.”

Sometimes people write me and say, “not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Some people like being employees.”

I agree with this. There is nothing wrong with being an employee. It’s what you make of it.

I‘ve been an employee many times. The key is to realize that an “employee” doesn’t mean you give up on creating, on making, on coming up with ideas.

In fact, an employee often has more opportunity for abundance than an entrepreneur. The playing field is much larger in a big corporation where everything is possible.

I went to graduate school with Astro Teller, who was recently on my podcast. He runs the special projects division at Google called GoogleX. He’s an employee at Google.

He was asked to “dream” at Google and now Google, a software company, is making driverless cars. It seems insurmountable: “What if we can make a car without a driver?” But that’s where the opportunity is.

Every day I wake up and it’s a constant battle in my brain against obstacles. Usually not business obstacles but emotional ones. Fears. People. Ideas. Hopes. This is life. A stream of obstacles and fears in a tough world.

I wish I had paid attention to the many wonderful virtual mentors, the Richard Bransons of the world, when I was younger.

To simply admit, “I don’t know” and reap the benefits of curiosity.

I hope I learn something today. If not I‘ll go back and reread these quotes and maybe sleep on a park bench.


​​​​​​To Your Magnificent Success

We all know that there are certain secrets which propel people forward in life. Think Jack Ma who founded Alibaba. He got rejected by university more than 10 times!

What do you think were his secrets for success?

Here are 3 Success Tips for you!

1. Find What You Are Good At

This links in to finding your purpose. We all have a gift, something that separates us from others. For some this gift will differ. Some people have the gift of writing, others sport, others leading. You should find what you are good at and don’t stop there. You’ve got to do it to the very best of your ability. I think that many people underestimate what this means. You’ve got to dedicate every breath in your body to that thing. This is what makes people stand out and what will make you, if you do it, stand out, http://ntrepreneurinsider..com.ng


2. Are Your Habits Today, In Line With Your Dreams ForTomorrow?

We all have big dreams, admirable dreams, dreams that excite us for the future. The dreams are possible, there’s no doubt about that. However, what we do each day can either bring them to life or keep them at bay, never to be actualized. A lot of the time, our habits are the things stopping us from achieving our dreams. What are your habits? If your habits today are not in sync with your dreams for tomorrow then you’re not going to achieve them. It’s that simple.

3. Don't Be Afraid Of Failure

If you really want to be successful you’ve got to get rid of your fear of failure. Sometimes you’ll miss. But one thing you should never do is allow the misses to stop you from taking shots. You’ve got to keep shooting because if you keep shooting, you increase your probability of success. Keep Shooting.


To Your Success

So, you have also heard of your friend who has now made it big by establishing his business on the internet and you were wondering if that was legit? Well, let me be the one to break the news to you that not everyone who claims to have made it only is involved in the illegal scum business or as we have come to know it, yahoo yahoo. Let me also be the bearer of more good news by telling you that you can also make it big by investing in online businesses and no time is ever too late for you to stat. Currently in the world, Nigeria holds the 8th position in the ranking of the most users of the internet and that says a lot. These days, the only web portal provides a lot of investment opportunities and money mines that are just waiting to be tapped. Is it the vast resources that can be amassed by being an affiliate marketer that should be considered or the fact that as a freelancer, you can choose your own hours and even wok from home? Maybe it would even interest you to know that on a part time basis, you could run something called a blog and make some additional income or just start marketing yourself out there by creation of one service or the other on the net. There are simply a lot of options to choose from when talking about online investments and in this age of the internet, it is somewhat of a crime to yourself if you don’t use this to your own advantage. What are then the various ways in which you can invest and make money online? We list below some of the hottest and by the time you are through, you would have been just halfway to earning your first pay cheque from online investments.

1. Affiliate Marketing Affiliate marketing is actually one of the biggest means you can take to making money online. The idea is simple. You have a website or blog on the internet and you help some brand or company advertise their services by just placing the banner on your website. For every click on that banner by a visitor to your website, you get paid. How fun is that? Being an affiliate marketer doesn’t require any special degree or capital to start up. It takes your zeal, determination and commitment to make it work. You are also not limited to exclusive affiliate marketing for one brand as you can take up as many as you want. In Nigeria, online shops such as Jumia and Konga run a very good affiliate programme that you can sign up for with relative ease and start making some extra cash in your past time.

2. Google Adsence Google also runs something that looks like the affiliate programme but is actually not, and it is called the Google AdSense. Based on the scope and niche of your website, Google looks to place strategic ads at strategic locations on your website and reward you on them using a pay per click basis. This means that as soon as a visitor clicks on the banner, you instantly get paid some amount of money. Nigeria has done tremendously well in benefiting from the Google AdSense programme and more people are benefiting from this daily. You would even be given a link to your payment dashboard where you can check the amount of money you have accrued so far and when it reaches the payment benchmark, you receive an instant credit alert in your local bank account. Great, right?

3. Freelance The internet is the best source of freelance jobs now and you could build a part time or full time career on this. In simple terms, freelance is a recruitment method in which you work for a client (an individual or a business), get paid for the work but do not get recognized as part of their regular employees. But hey, as long as you are getting paid, what do you really care? There are freelance careers in almost every field on the internet ranging from writing to consultation services. Some people have even gotten that full time job they have today from freelancing while others are using it as a means to supplement payment of bills. What are you still waiting for?

4. Blogging Blogging is simply owning a special type of online webpage (called a blog) where you go to post entries according to a timescale (called the blogging schedule). Blogging can be done from anywhere – the comfort of your house, your free hour in the office, on a trip… you name it. The key to successful blogging is building a community of regular readers and supplying posts in a niche that you are passionate about regularly to keep them glued. How to make money from blogging then, you ask? Some bloggers have, in the past, sold their blogs off to buyers for a very high amount of money and such business transactions are still being made. Most companies look for a successful blog that share their kind of interest and buy them. Better still, you can ask to be kept on as a freelance writer on such blogs and get paid according to a pay structure that appeals to you both. Companies can also approach you to place their own banners on your website ad pay you a huge chunk of money for this advert space. These are just some of the ways in which you can make money while blogging

5. Website Design and Development. Website design and management is a real moneybag. No kidding. A website is the basic entry page for anyone looking for a company or service on the internet and people would pay you a lot to design one for them. Management of already established websites is also a goldmine and a key to wealth.

The list of online businesses to invest in for you doesn’t end there. For example, you could become a publisher on Amazon (with their Kindle Programme), take courses in computer programming and sell your services online, selling of products of classifieds and the likes. While you may not completely focus on all, pick one and establish yourself in it and marvel at how your income multiplies.
