TODAY I share a thought by a great motivational speaker and my friend Bismark Tay from Ghana titled ‘Take Action Now!’

Action is the most important word on the journey of success. Many have heard of it, many more have said they'll embrace it but few actually do. For almost everyone, there's always something that needs to be done. Something new or something old and it’s either difficult or easy. At every point in our lives, there's always the need for us to take some action. Sometimes it's a decision, other times it's something we need to do. Our lives are just like a brick wall. The actions we take each day are the bricks that we lay to get the kind of walls we want.

What Goes Around Comes Around

THIS inspiring story truly shows that what goes around, comes around. The question has always been, ’if it comes around to you, would you be glad it did?’ One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His jalopy as we call it here was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

ON the last post, I started a very interesting series on important skills you will need for a successful 2016. Remember that these skills are not exhaustive, not in order of importance and require a lot of practice.  

What is Life like to You?

PEOPLE define life differently. Our personal experiences, environment and social interactions majorly contribute to this definition of life. Sadly, for many people, their definition of life is not only skewed but also capable of limiting their maximal utilization of what life offers. So I ask you, what is life like to you?

Are You Breaking This Indisputable Law of Success?

WHEN a newspaper reporter interviewed a farmer who grew award-winning corn each year he entered his corn in the state fair, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours. 

Perplexed, the reporter asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering their corn in competition with yours each year?” 

Do You Know How to Ask the Right Questions?

IN your quest for the good life, in your pursuit of happiness, success and peace of mind, are you clear and resolved on what you really want? This might sound trite, but truth be told, a lot of us have an idea of what we want but are not totally clear about it. Of course this has wider implications. We ask the wrong questions for instance and get the wrong answers. Rather than focus, we disperse energies and efforts. We make imprecise and many times displaced demands on life, and then accuse life of being unfair. I can go on and on.

The story is told of a couple who were celebrating their 70^th birthday and 50^th wedding anniversary.

ANYONE interested in climbing the corporate or success ladder, should be prepared to work in a team, and very importantly, will sooner than later make presentations and speak publicly. This is almost inescapable. It is common knowledge that the way we speak publicly determines how people judge and perceive our personal effectiveness. Effective public speaking skills can help you advance your career, boost your reputation and create opportunities, it opens important doors.

Research shows that between 45 to a staggering 80 percent of people are afraid of the microphone or public speaking. This is called Glossophobia - the fear of public speaking. On this post, I share simple ways to overcome glossophobia, improve your public speaking and increase your influence and productivity.

Recently, I traveled by road from Lagos to Abuja in Nigeria. By Ibilo junction, a popular joint known for its local delicacy of fried yam and bush (roast) meat, our bus driver pulled over for passengers to eat and stretch out. I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth in those sumptuous yams, with a cold drink. For environmental reasons, I am not a bush meat fan.
