BE THE STAR

THIS IS WHERE THE ACTION IS

HOW TO SEE MONEY EVERY WHERE

One of the enigmas in our life is money. The better we know how to relate with it the more pleasant our sojourn on earth will be.
Some months ago, I coached a young man that told me that whenever he does not have money he vomits and get sick. Some other people have told me different things like' I feel depressed and sad'

The Truth...
Not having money in your pocket does not get you depress but how you think about money that get you depress. Things or people can't stress us rather it is how we think about them that cause our stress.

You must learn to change what money means to you. If you do, you will start seeing money everywhere. If you see money as an end in itself, you will put an end to your flow of idea and creativity but if you see it anything you can use to accomplish your heart desire, you will never be stranded.
My story...
I have had the privilege to initiate for 4 to 5 businesses. However none of them I started with my own money. The reason being that, years ago I changed my perception about money.

The perception that can help You...
Money is not the paper you have in your pocket. The paper only represents money. Money is anything that you can use to exchange for whatever you want. Money is a reward you get for solving a problem. Wherever you can see problem or frustration you can make money there if you develop your capacity to solve problem.
To make money, don't pray for more money rather pray for more capacity to solve bigger problem. The opportunity to make money is inherent in our capacity to solve problem. Money is not scarce. It is capacity to solve problems that is.
We live in the world where problem will not cease. The day problem cease that is the day the world stop existing.

Develop fascination for people's frustration. Check out your own frustration too. Solve it for yourself and you will be amazing you have a potential money making machine at your disposal.
I believe you are not poor because you are black but because you are overlooking the opportunity to solve problem for a lot of people.
Till we see again, note this: money is only a tool to get your desire and a reward for solving a problem.

RAISE YOUR GAME

RAISE YOUR GAME
UNVEILING PSQUARE,S WINNING FORMULAR
It is in no doubt that the immensely endowned(like Dbanj will say)music duo Psquare, are not any where close to their busstop musically.They are raising their game , touring relentleslesly around the world, consistently churning out monster hits and increasing their fanbase.This piece is in no way idolizing them , but on the flipside a pointer to teaching you strategies we can adapt from their success in the entertainment industry and adapt to our various life,s pursuits. Because success leaves clues.

START SMALL
The story of Psquare,s love affair with music started in St Murumba secondary school Jos, where they joined their school music and drama club where they began singing, dancing, and miming songs by Mc hammer, Bobby brown, and Michael jackson.Fastforward to 2001 , Psquare won THE GRAB DA MIC competiiton and hence Benson and Hedges sponsored their debut album LASTNITE.Today Psquare has left their small beginnings and has become one of the most sought after afro hiphop groups to emerge out of Africa .As a Talent development expert , I come across a lot of talented people who desire to take a chance on their talents, but are unwillingly to start small.My usual charge to such fellows is for them to start small from where they are.Start with recording a demo, start with writing that chapter, start wiith acting as an extra in that soapopera.Bellanaija moved from a blog to a full fledged lifestyle content providing website,A.y moved from being Alli baba,s personal assistant to becoming a whizkid in the comedy terrain.
Though your beginning may be small , your latter end shall greatly increase.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT
In the business terrain, your uniqueness is the path to reigning.Psquare is not just sought after because they make goood music, beyond that , their uniqueness lies in being able to dance and play music instruments.These skills has given them mileage over other acts in the industry.If you are not distinct, you will soon go extinct.Find your uniqueness and stick to it.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS
They discovered very early in their career that personal image is a key trait to being on top of their game.Peter and Paul are always on point when it comes to their grooming.The secret to gaining acceptance lies in improving your packaging.Image is everything and people still judge a book by its cover.

EMBRACE CHANGE
They are an evolving duo who are keen about getting better in their craft.From the collabos with Weird Mc and Tuface, to adapting to the trends of the industry, making sound track that makes you leave your boardroom to the ball room, they have consistently mastered the dynamics of making monster hits.They should be lecturers in our music schools teaching Hitsmaking 101.Innovation is key to enterprise development, and complacency weakens a brand.

EXCELLENCE
This group,s thirst for excellence is inspiring.Psquare is a wonder to behold when it comes to their music videos.The video for their second album held # 1 posiiton on the MTV Base chart for eight straight weeks, they have an ever growing fanbase in South Africa and other parts of the world.Little wonder, telecommunications company , Globacom adopted them as one of its brand ambassadors paying them a whooping fee of #250million.Their dedication and drive has seen them become game changers in their industry.

Dear friend, its time to stop making excuses and start liivng your dreams.The Psquare tale is a proudly Nigerian success story worth telling.There is a king in you, unveil it, and step into your royalty.

WHAT KIND OF LIFE DO YOU WANT TO LEAD.......

I used to have some time out with a very wealthy man. This time paid up for me big time. He taught me a lot of things about creating abundant and leading an exceptional life.

In one of this classes, he asked me a very deep and life changing question: What kind of Life Do you want to lead?' I was dump founded for a while. Before that time, I had always want to be rich but I have not really get to ask myself what kind of I intended to lead. He gave me an assignment: Go and find out the kind of Life you want to create for yourself.

It took me weeks to get the answer. I asked myself series of question. Eventually, I discovered that money was not my primary goal but leading an exceptional life was. However money is one of the tools I will use to accomplish that.'
'The kind of life you want to live' he said to me,in one of his buildings in Victoria Island' determines the kind of income you will create'. He continued' you can choose active income and lead a passive life or you can choose an passive income and lead an active life. The emphasis on the kind of life you want to lead determine the kind of income you will work for '. That statements entered me and I realized that it is basically because we don't ask ourselves questions pertaining the kind of life we want to lead that get us stuck in the race of life.

There are 16 kinds of income people can create and it is only one of them that requires your personal effort. However, it amazes me that it is only the one that requires our personal effort that most of us still go for. We have been programmed to work for money and not make money work he'll us. You can change this mentality by accepting the reality that you can make money while sleeping. I have proven this in my life and stay with I will coach you on how you can create massive passive income in your life while you still have the life to lead a great life.

WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT BEING YOUNG AND SUCCESFUL

WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT BEING YOUNG AND SUCCESFUL

‘A society that cuts itself from its youth severe its lifeline, but a society that engage their interests, enlists their talents, and liberates their energies, brings hope to the entire world’-Nelson Mandela

As a young Nigerian , I don’t want to look back at my life and regret at the things I hoped for , but never attempted.I don’t want to utter the regretful words of ‘Would have, should have, could have’.I am the captain of my ship and the creator of my circumstances.The glory of the youths is in their strength, and right here in Nigeria a crop of youths are pursuing their dreams, not making excuses,standing tall in the midst of challenges that desires to dwarf their dreams.They are changemakers,on the marathon to success,making diamonds out of their clays inspite of skyrocketing unemployment, perennial black outs, endemic corruption.These youngsters have refused to give up, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.They are young starters, early risers, who have developed a sense of urgency towards their life’s journey believing in the maxim that:’The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the next best time is now’.In this piece I bring to you lessons we can learn ,adapt, and adopt to our lives, from young, influential, and high achieving youths.

1.Enlist your capabilities
From Whizkid to Mocheddah, Seyilaw to Helen paul,these youngsters all enlist their capabilities i.e their God given abilities and are making a living from it .As a talent development coach , I often tell my clients to learn the business side of their talent, because talent alone cannot pay the bills.It is talent and a strong eye for the money that pays the bills. Its not just enough to discover your talent and God given potentials, it is also imperative to learn how to profit from your talent, and meet the needs of your target audience.

2.Connect
Success is not a solo game, it’s a team sport that no one plays in isolation.History books are full of gifted people whose talents were overlooked until someone believed in them.Modupe oreoluwa popularly known as Mochedah is a living witness of this principle,same applies to Whizkid .His rise to the top of his game is obviously as a result of connecting to Banky W who saw the wealth in him,explored it, and created a product from it.Connection is the path that leads to your destination.

3.Start Small
These days I find it amazing that many young people desire to make it fast without paying their dues.They often ignore the counsel of starting small and growing big.Anything worthile takes time, and be cautious of moving too fast.In 2006, a 22 years old damsel started a blog focusing on lifestyle , fashion, entertainment, music, geared towards projecting the right image of Africa and inspiring Africans to make a difference in their world.Today, Uche Eze a.k.a Bellanaija, has grown the blog into establishing Bainstone corporation , company for Bellanaija in july of 2001 quitting her 9-5 to pursue her dream.She has appeared on Oprah and still taking her brainchild to the next level as a result of her resolve to start small.

4.Find your niche
A niche is your own zone, your own uniqueness , your own area of differentiation ne person who exemplifies this principle is Toyosi Akerele, the inimitable outspoken Founder of Rise Networks, who was recently honoured as a young African female leader to watch out for by Michell Obama.Toyosi has been able to make a name and a living for herself consulting and proffering solutions to youth developmental/empowerment issues.Through her annual youth seminars , enterprise development workshops for youths, she has stuck to her niche and enriching lives through it.Succeeding in a function of finding your own gold spot and sticking to it.

As a young Nigerian no one will believe in your dreams and aspirations .They may even call you names and tell you to be realistic. But the Real-ity lies in believing in the beauty of your dreams and pursuing it with unimaginable vigour.Stay hooked to your dreams. “Today we may appear young and people may not believe in us, but we are going to compel them to believe in us through our achievements."- Tony Elumelu. I will read your success story!

FROM COLLEGE DROP OUT TO CORPORATE SELL OUT

THE BOOKSHELF
YOUR PERSONAL BEST:FROM COLLEGE DROP OUT TO CORPORATE SELL OUT

I can’ t believe I read Steve Harris debut book in no time.Yes am an unrepentant book buff, but this book captured me right from its catchy title to its unusual cover picture,fused with the inspiring tagline:’Its not what you don’t have that limits you,its what you have but don’t know how to use’.My first encounter with Steve Harris was on the platform of SPEAKER’S CORNER- A personal development fora for motivational speakers, public speakers, and anyone desirous of sharpening their communication skills.In his usual storytelling fashion and near American accent, I was blown away by the story he shared on that day.Therefore I wasn’t surprised when he decided to go beyond telling stories from the platform to a book form.

In the brilliantly crafted foreword written by Tonye P.Cole, he says:’This book is an advice for everyone , anecdotes for parents with children in crisis,for siblings managing success and failures of each other, for entrepreneurs who look beyond the surface and take risks on people no one else would touch, for the downtrodden who can still find hope, for the backslider who overcomes his shame and runs back to God’.The book offers the reader a peek into how he rose from adversity and converted his clays into diamonds.Chapter1 IN THE BEGINNING, xrays his growing up years, family background, chidhood heroes e.t.c.IN LIVING ABROAD Chapter 2, he narrates with the storytelling ability of a master story teller ,his experience abroad and meeting his grandad.GETTING INTO THE UNIVERSITY Chapter 3 ,chronicles his experiences as a ‘Jambito’(Green horn)in the university, exploring freedom, and the bitter tales of having challenges with his grades, and eventually dropping out from college as a result of not having passion for his course of study Mathematics.In his words:’I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I ran my finger across the board, I was shocked first to see the F’s I had gathered, but secondly the ominous sentence that concluded my result –CANDIDATE IS ADVICED TO WITHDRAW.COLLEGE DROP OUT 2, captures the emotional trauma and the pain of having to rewriite JAMB and gaining admission for the second time but dropping out again as a result of :’Little boredom and absolute hopelessness that my life was going nowhere’.


His life gained incredible momentum when he decided to take responsibility.He met Fela Durotoye and then began the journey of greatness.He started out at V.I.P consulting fela Durotoye’s consulting outfit as an office assistant, and in no time became the head of the consulting group of Visible impact.Just by deciding to go back to his creator, his destiny encounter with Fela durotoye,maximizing opportunities and taking a chance on himself.
Today, Harris is a corporate sell out-Managing consulatnt at EDGECUTION (His consulting outfit),radioshow host-Upgrade, sought after motivational speaker, who has moved from earning 15,000 a month to being able to earn well over a Million to speak for a day.He has picked up from where he left off on his formal education pursuits.He is currently engaged in Masters degree in management consulting from the University of Wales an also a U.K certified life coach.

The book is not an encouragement for the reader to drop out from school, or from life, but rather a motivational capsule rejuvenating your dead dreams, failures, and encourages you to turn your lemons into lemonades, your setback into a set up for a comeback.According to him,:’There is a sellout in every drop out’.Steve Harris has suceeded in capturing his struggles in a better than fiction, straight from the earth , entertaining manner.The book is laced with introductory quotations in every chapter and every chaper ends with a closing quotaion aptly called:’SELL OUT SECRETS’.So what are you waiting for?Go grab your own copy of FROM COLLEGE DROP OUT TO CORPORATE SELL OUT.Before it leaves the bookshelf to become a sellout!
