The hardest thing in the world is being a Visionary Leader. Not just a leader, but a visionary leader. Recently I have started a new business project with some couple of friends of mine, and as we seek to expand our business I have notice something quite strikingly prevalent in so many people; most people they don’t believe. Not that they don’t believe but what I mean is they don’t believe in dreams or the goodness of life. They don’t believe it can be possible to live the lives they want to lead and so they find any means and reason to support that belief of lack of belief. Most people want to play it “sane”; they don’t want to be seen as delusional or as Dreamer. That is a relatively highest persecution or indictment that they perceive they can receive, so they bland out and try to be reasonable in their aspirations. They gather facts and opinions and try to mould their ideals to those facts. Most people don’t dare to be wrong and to mess up or try because of one common ment...

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

Getting what you want is success ; and success is an effect , coming from the application of a cause . Success is essentially the same in all cases; the difference is in the thing that successful people want but not in the success. Success is attainment, without regard to the things attained. It is a law in nature that like causes always produce like effects; therefore, since success is the same in all cases, the cause of success MUST be the same in all cases. The cause of success is always IN the person who succeeds. You will see that this must be true, because if the cause were in nature, OUTSIDE the person, then all persons similarly situated would succeed. It would be wholly a matter of neighbourhood. Mathematically, if you find out the cause of success and develop it to a sufficient strength and apply it properly to your work, the application of the cause sufficiently cannot fail to produce a given effect. Failure results in the insufficiency of the cause or the not being applie...

Imagine living in a world where every movie you see has the same story line. Imagine if the only choice of drink was water and the only flavor of ice cream was chocolate (okay maybe that one wouldn't be so bad). Imagine that every conversation with every person made the same point. And imagine that every day had the same ending and that every thought reflected the same idea. There's a point I'm getting to. Please stay with me. When I go into organisations to help inspire, develop and elevate employees so they play at world-class levels (and I've been crisscrossing this planet on this Leadership Crusade for nearly ten years now), I often see mission statements espousing a respect for diversity. "We at ClientCo value differences and cherish diversity." And, most of the companies I work with actually do. But here's my question: Do you? Do you really get the brilliance of diversity? When you really think about it, it's the people who see the world through ...

Are your dreams big enough? Do they scare you? Are they so ridiculously big that you are often embarrassed or hesitant to share them? Such questions can't help but arise as one decides to craft an extraordinary life; a life that many wish for and yet few accomplish. I read an article on Felix Baumgartner not long ago, after hearing from a friend about what he did. If you are unfamiliar with him, his the Red Bull Dare Devil who sky jumped from the stratosphere  and set a world record for the highest jump and being the first man to break the sound barrier of a vehicle reaching a supersonic speed of 1.24 Mac .. I have to admit, watching the video I was probably more terrified than he was, because of the view; it was just too spectacular (and very high) like that you would usually see on those national geographic space programs... This brings me to BIG DREAMS. It is a scary thing to attempt to do, be, or have so...

Why are you doing what you are doing? There are two possible answers to this question. One, it is because you want to make money. Or two, it is because you want to add value. This is not only a question that aspiring entrepreneurs should consider. Even as an employee or student, or anyone who’s doing something with their time, you should ask yourself: why am I doing what I am doing? What's the overall objective? This may seem to be a rather elementary question to ask and in need of no thoughtful consideration in whatever endeavour you may find yourself, but it is the most important question to ask one's self: Why do I do what I do? What's my objective? What's my core reason? This is such a powerful exercise that, most often it may cause people to realise just how they spend their time and effort in unworthy pursuits. This begs the question of how can I then turn my passion or interest into something valuable to me and possibly others. Can I really move my passion into ...

Do you see yourself as an enterprise? Ask any successful business tycoon or anyone who has achieved amazing success in any endeavour as to what is the secret, and they will tell you, the secret is the ability of seeing themselves as an enterprise, a corporation worthy of being attended to. They understand that their greatest asset is themselves, which may explain why sometimes business people may be seen as shrewd or selfish.. Its because they are committed to the investment of their number one product, themselves.. This business analysis I picked up in almost all the business books that I had  time to feast my "short-sighted" eyes on (I wear glasses).. Investing in your own self development is key to running a successful business such as yourself. This may be a strange way of viewing yourself, but take it from the wealthy. After all, it is what separates them from the many. If you want to really be successful in any endeavou...
