Good morning fam. It's so good to be back here after the loooong break. Let's catch up on what we've missed. Holla at me

22/06/2019

If there are any two things that resonate deep with me, they will be self discovery and productivity.
That's why in this post, I'll be sharing the three factors that determine how much you are paid in a competitive market are:

1.
What you do

2.
How well you do what you do

3.
How much it will cost to replace you!

I know that there are thousands, if not more, books on financial intelligence, money management skills, entrepreneurship and the likes....
Each of them probably contains unique or known-but-expanded principles, but when it comes to the money equivalent of the service you render or the work you do in a competitive market, then those three factors I highlighted are common themes in all those publications.

Let's take them one after the other....

1.
What you do
This is what I refer to as your Value Quotient
The truth is whichever side of the scale you are, either you are an entrepreneur or you are in the white-collar space, there is a common currency with which you work and that's time. What will determine how much your time will worth in monetary terms (in an ideal situation) is the value you're bringing to the table.
Not everybody can be a successful entrepreneur and it's not outdated or archaic to be in the white-collar space as many people tend to portray in our days. This is because every enterprise needs those in the white-collar space to maintain operations when they expand to a certain level. So in a sense it's not where you are on the scale that really matters but what you do where you are.
What values have you added to yourself and are willing to transfer to the service you render or the work you do?
Sincerely, this is what is converted to the money you earn at the space you find yourself.

My take on that is this:

Take every opportunity to add value to yourself, in the long run, you're increasing the monetary value your time will be exchanged for in the market!

2.
How well you do what you do!
This simply means the efficiency and effectiveness that are attached to your style of delivery.
It's one thing to add value to yourself but it's another thing to transfer this value to the work you do effectively and efficiently.
There may be other people who can do what you're doing (in most cases there are always people), but in the long run, your efficiency and effectiveness, given the various circumstances in your line of work will differentiate you!

3.
How much it will cost to replace you!

The beauty of this third factor is that it takes into account the first two.
If you're continuously adding values to yourself and efficiently and effectively transferring those values into your delivery of work, it automatically costs more to replace you. This will help you to seal your relevance in whatever part of the scale you find yourself...So, make a life of continuous improvement and value addition an everyday experience and see an increase in the monetary value of your services and products.

Wish you all the best from here.

There are two issues that we need to deal with on a daily basis and that's not because of any other reason but because they affect our productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.
The truth is everybody gets to face them no matter who you are or what you do.
What I discover about these issues is that you either understand how to deal with them the right way or stand the chance of becoming less productive, efficient or effective. There are just no to ways to it.
Whether you are the CEO or you're just a BDO, your individual and professional outlook is at stake if you don't understand these issues and deal with them the right way. Need I say this that so many people try to work their way around them but they realise more often than none that it's either you deal with them or the table turns and they deal with you.
The good thing is they are both tied to one thing: Choice.
That means understanding the power of choices is the first step to understanding them; and that knowledge is what will open the door to unraveling this mystery to you.
So what exactly are these seemingly threats to personal and professional development?

Procrastination
and
Burnout

I have penned my thoughts and discoveries in my newest mini book, titled _Choices_
_Choices_ presents to you everything you should know (well almost everything) about the power of choices and the menace of procrastination and burnout as they affect your productivity, effectiveness, efficiency, personal and professional development.
The beauty of this book is that all these pieces of information have been packed in just about 50 pages of print. That means, this is a book that you can read and digest in less than a day.
But I can confidently affirm that the discoveries you'll be exposed to by reading this book is one of those things you need now no matter where you are on the journey to self actualization.
Bright side is that this book is available as an ebook (pdf basically, the epub version will be released soon on Kindle and other ebook platforms that supports that).
So I'm making this book available for FREE!
The link to download the book is in my bio.

God expresses his love to us in various ways. One of such ways is by sending to us His word especially at times like these when that's the only true source of encouragement anybody can count on.

On the cross breathing His last, "It is finished" He said,
Death thought it had Him, Hades rejoiced on that day;
Little did they know that it was all part of the plan,
For my salvation cannot be won another way.

Victoriously, He arose as the Lion from the grave,
The ground opened its mouth at the Divine command;
The grave couldn't stop Him as He gloriously arise
With the keys of Death and Hades in His hands;

The work was finished indeed and the deal was sealed,
My freedom was completed and a new life was given;
Salvation, to me was free but to Him, a priceless deal,
Now I walk in victory, for indeed my Christ is risen!

I owe a debt I couldn't pay, but He paid the debt He didn't owe....
The Cross was worth it indeed!

Growth is a product of continuous self evaluation and seeing weaknesses from a positive light; it is about challenging the status quo and not accepting your shortcomings as the gospel truth definition of who you are.

Why compare yourself with others when the only person God compared you with at creation was Himself?
Why allow the negative comments and criticisms of people turn you into a beast that you are not?
The truth remains that you're unique and special!
There are no two of your kind!
You're a Limited Edition of yourself!
And do you know what?
God is proud He created you!
So, today look beyond whatever negative energy you might get from people and celebrate your unique personality.
This life is short but sweet and don't forget you have only one shot at it. Make the most of this opportunity.

Be Bold,
Be Happy,
Be You!


Good morning

The T.R.A.I.N. Series: "A kids Manual to Parenting".
As a certified marketing research professional, I have discovered over the years that one of the best ways of ensuring continued customers' loyalty to your brand is by designing the products or services from the customer's point of view.
In the same vein, Parenting, though said to be a Herculean task, can be best simplified and become a more enjoyable process if parents and guardians will be ready to reconsider their approach to it by trying to understand it from the children's perspective.
This T.R.A.I.N. Series has been designed to take parents and intending parents who might be having issues parenting their children through certain time tested truths championed by great and successful parents that I have taken time out to amplify and extensively discuss in this blog post so that the true purpose of parenting will not be forfeited.
In this first edition, the T.R.A.I.N. acronym stands for
T - Teach
R - Rebuke
A - Admonish
I - Instruct
N - Nourish

TEACH
The mind of every child is a clean slate; be ready to write substances that will guide the course of their lives forever. That's your first responsibility.

The mind of every child is a clean slate; be ready to write substances that will guide the course of their lives forever. That's your first responsibility.
The first thing every parent must realize is that the best way to describe or illustrate the mind of every child is as a slate. Before the advent of modern forms of writing materials, writing activities have been done basically on slates.
The mind, is one of the major and the most important distinguishing features that human beings posses which gives us ultimate leverage over all other forms of life. It is so important to our existence because majority of what forms our persona or "being" are related to the mind.
It is the centre of decision, thought and will and these are basic determinants of the kind of life we will live.
Deformed adulthood is a product of deformed childhood. When you don't take out time to teach your children the basic necessities to getting the.....
