🎉 New #Podcast! 680. The Reason Why Fear Wanes is the Same Reason Your Potential Is Increasing Internal forces have a way of keeping us from maximizing our internal resources. Perhaps one of the biggest thieves of potential is fear. It is one thing to be unaware of your potential and therefore never exploit it, and it is quite another thing to be fully aware of it but be paralyzed by the spirit of fear. No one is immune to the crippling tentacles of fear. We are all exposed to it. To maximize our potential, we have to do something drastic about our fear. Listen to this.

New #Podcast! Did you know that slavery is still pretty much around? Tell me: what are the defining blocks of a slave? No freedom. Shackles. Forced labor etc. Whereas we do not see these outside things, there is one more thing that you need to know. Generally, slaves do not plan, think ahead, envision or even reflect. They have masters to do that for them. If you are not deploying your potential, chances are that you are not thinking, planning, reflecting and visioning. It's that bad. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Suppose you are multi talented. You have at least three things that you are good at naturally, maybe four. Are you better off than the person who either doesn't know that they are gifted, or they just have one gift or talent? That's the question we address in this episode today. There are different reasons why we seldom get to the level of deploying our God-given potential and this is just one of them. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! On an assignment that was failing one day, one boss that I reported to told me these famous words: Inspect what you expect. In other words, where there is no accountability, you cannot expect growth and progress. In deploying our potential, there are several reasons why we fail. One of the major reasons is the fact that we lack accountability, especially accountability to the Divine. This is one controversial thing to say, but there is merit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! No doubt that our generations today are the ones most exposed to information unlike any other generation since the beginning of the world. One would think that we should, consequently, be the generation that is most glorious at the individual level in terms of discovering and deploying our purpose and potential in life. There are different reasons why we do not deploy our potential and perhaps this is one of the greatest of them all. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have always said that the easiest way to locate your purpose is to look at readily available hints. Perhaps the strongest hint of your purpose is found in your potential. Potential and purpose are inextricably connected one to another. There is no deploying of potential without going into your purpose to do it. There are many reasons why mostly people do not deploy their potential, and this is perhaps one of the biggest of them all. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast On a scale of one to ten, every human being is a ten in terms of potential. Being an unused capacity and unspent possibility, the difference in humans is in deployment of their potential. It is obvious that the biggest collective failure of the human race is the failure in deploying potential. There are many reasons why that is the case, but perhaps the greatest reason is one that is pervasive all over the world. It affects us all alive. We respect it so much so as we would respect the rule of law, but all along it is eating and wasting away our potential. What problem is that? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast When someone dies at 99, there is less grief as compared to someone dying below 20, or a little younger than that. Why? Because we know that there is one thing that they had that we probably didn't see...a promise....potential. The sinister thing though is that one can die at 99 with all the potential that they have unused, untapped and undeployed. We all have potential. On a scale of 1 to 10, we all are a perfect 10. How we deploy it is the issue. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! 671. The 6 Things To Do When Faced With Failure In Comparison With Others #Failure #Comeback When life gives us feedback telling us that we could be more than what we are, we could be doing much better than what we have done or we are wasting our days, it is time to take the feedback on the chin. It is time to be happy with that feedback and embrace the feelings of failure and disappointment. Then, it is time to choose a way out. This episode summarizes the 6 things that you and I can do in order to make the most of the feedback life gives us when we meet acquaintances, colleagues, school mates and friends who are seemingly doing better than we are. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Perhaps the most liberating and powerful things that we can do as humans is to choose. When we are faced with feedback in life that tells us that we have failed or have misused our days up until now...what do we do? When you meet a friend whom you were with in 'the same boat' few years ago and now they are seemingly doing better than you are...even if we are not comparing and competing...what do we do? In this episode, I cover one of the most powerful aspects of life. Forget what lies behind...choose to live. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When you come to realize that your life is not as impactful as it was meant to be, especially when you meet a person you were at the same level with doing better than yourself, you have a choice to make. You can easily feel jealous but there is no denying that this feedback will highlight the fact that you can do better. The question is, what exactly can you do to be better? We have to agree that we each have our own races to run. We are all unique in our own ways. However, we can learn from others and at the same time, we can also be inspired by others. There is one important thing to do though, and that's staying committed on a cause. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We have no problem as humans in taking action. We are always on the move. The question we need to ask ourselves is this: towards what end are we taking action? This question is most especially important when you are faced with failure. In fact, when we are failing or when we are seeking to rectify the situation, we are adept at wanting to take action as soon as possible. That is why it is important to be reflective before we take action. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Every once in a while, you come across a book that can trigger a massive shift in your life. I'm sure if you look at your life right now, you can pinpoint resources that have given your life a shot in the arm. What's Your Genius? by Jay Niblic is such a book for me. I came across it just one year after it had been published in 2009. The subtitle is "How the best think for success in the New Economy". It was a massive read. Over the years, I think I have read it several times, and each time, it makes absolute sense. I recommend this book to parents, teachers, people who are making choices in career and life. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When life gives you feedback and you feel like you either have failed or have wasted your time alive, you can respond in two ways. First, you can have apathy and just continue down the road of failure. Or, you can be inspired by that feedback, draw a line in the sand and decide that it shall not end that way. When you do so, there will be several tools available to you to transition into a better you, both physical tools and psychological tools. Here is one of the most common and most potent tool that you can apply in life to change its trajectory. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! 665. The Most Powerful Way To Mount A Comeback When It Feels Like You Are A Failure Life gives us checkpoints are many turns. These checkpoints can become transitions into something better or they can become bottlenecks that seal our "failure" as fate. That of course depends with what we do at any one of these checkpoints. I have a feeling that as long as you are alive and well, there is something that you owe this world...and if you will be determined enough, starting with what you have, you may very well deliver on that promise at the end of the day. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Perhaps the thing that makes me stuck in life the most is the always wanting to have everything figured out before I get started. I have realized that life doesn't give you solutions while you are uninvolved. People will tell you to "do market research" and do some "analysis" for things before you get started. There is merit for that. However, when you are reviewing your life for the sake of overcoming a failure, at times just launching out with only what you have is the solution. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! At times you take a look at your life in comparison to that of your peers and you feel wanting. At times you see that they are progressing more than you are. What do you do when faced with such prospects? Of course, they are running their own race as you are. It makes no sense to compare, but there is no escaping the fact that we can learn quite a bit from them. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! What people do we commonly reward with success? There are two types of people generally in life. There are those who are true to their selves, and those who seek outside information to "make them". Most of the people that we reward with "Making it in life" are not necessarily those who are true to their calling. Everyone has a safe place that they can retreat to in order to seek clarity of what cause they can take in life. However, we seldom reward those who retreat there and take charge of their lives. We reward those who have "studied". Nothing wrong with studying, only we shouldn't neglect ourselves. Listen to this

🎉 New #Podcast! We are all connected one way or another in this world. One of the most beautiful things in life is that we can always learn from one another. Nobody has a monopoly on information. That's why we have this book Review. Phil M Jones has written a cracker of a book. Just 148 pages but full of nuggets that you can implement on your daily conversations in order to influence and persuade people. Listen to this review and get yourself a copy. PS. I'm not being paid for this review. Just looking out to help you be productive by sharing as many resources as possible.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of the most standard things we do in life is to go to school. Hundreds of motivational speakers have bashed "the school system" for years on end. In turning your purpose in to profit, one of the fundamental things needed is schooling, I mean, learning. The more you lean into it and learn, the deeper and better you become. This course teaches you some of that. https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching If you wanted to serve your tribe with finesse and excellence, you need to dig deep and find data, knowledge, insight, information, about that purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! It is not that we lack things. It is that we lack intention. Tony Robbins says that it is not about lack of resources, but it is about lack of resourcefulness. Even then, resourcefulness obeys a higher law of intention. To turn your purpose into profit, there has to be an intention. Without it, forget. This online course can help you to turn that purpose into profit: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching When we lack anything, if we can look past our intentions, then the only thing that is left is time...in due course, we shall have it. However, without intention, nothing happens. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Turning purpose into profit can be an extremely overwhelming venture as it can be fun and fulfilling at the same time. The trick is to know how to work out the overwhelm and cross the bridge to the promised land. I have prepared the Purpose To Profit Course to help people with this. You can access it here: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching I learnt a very powerful trick years ago when I was given a responsibility that scared me. This is what you can use too. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Let's answer the question: Why are we in business? There will be two answers to that question, at least two schools of thought. First, some people are in business to make money. Pure and simple. Second, people are in business to cause transformation. You will judge for yourself what makes sense. In converting purpose to profit, profit will not come first. This is part of what we teach in the Purpose To Profit course. Get it here: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching In this episode, let us look at one of the most powerful tools you can use to turn your purpose into profit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Once in a while you come across an incredible resource that just fits into your needs like a hand in gloves. If you are a communicator either professionally or otherwise, this book is an absolute read. If you are interested in passing your message across in a compelling manner to your audience so that it sticks and transforms them, you have a powerful resource here. Chip and Dan Heath outdid themselves with this treatise. It is indeed one of those those that you do not want to put down. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If we are not careful, we have reduced our lives to expectations within 30 days. We repeat that for the rest of our lives and then we call it a "career". This is one of the biggest reasons why people never get to turn their purpose into profit. You can find the course from this link (https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching). You know why? Because turning your purpose into profit is not a matter of 30 days. It takes time, hard work, patience and a lot of hurdles, obstacles and hoops to jump through. That's what the online course will be showing you. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Seeing that converting your purpose into profit is not something conventional, one must consider venturing into it with a serious spirit of adventure. Otherwise, you wont. We have created an online course to help people to turn their purpose into profit, going at $30 for a limited time. The value is $250. https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching The idea is to equip yourself with a spirit of curiosity and adventure and fun, but also be serious about it. That's one of the tools to convert your purpose into profit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When trying to get anything done, there will be two forces that will either be for you are against you. These are internal forces and external forces. If you can solve the internal issues you are having, such a fear, shame, embarrassment and be OK with them, then you are ready to take it head on. You are ready to turn your purpose into profit. We have prepared an online course for that (Worth $250 but only going for $30 for a limited time). https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching It is time to overcome these internal issues with this powerful tool. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! In my first job, a colleague introduced me to a thoroughly gifted individual. Seeing that I was good with words, these two wanted me to create a Resume so that he could find a job. I did. Looking back, I see that it was one of the most useless things I ever did. I was contributing to the culture that gifts are not useful, jobs are. For good measure, I have created an online course that can help people convert their gifts into profit. https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching Find out why that move in helping to draft the resume was wrong. Listen to this.

🎉New #Poddcast! The way the world operates today is mostly digital. Think about it. Most of the things are being digitized ostensibly to enable speed, ease, comfort and 'coolness'. However, if you are to convert your purpose into profit, probably you will need to be as analog as possible in order to do it. Why? Because purpose is deeply analog. It takes time to mature. We have created a Purpose To Profit Course that will help you to circumnavigate this. http://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching If the mode of operation in your life is for what gives you income in intervals of 30 days, there is a conundrum. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! 646. Could It Be That The Answers We Are All Seeking In Life Are Within Us? #Purpose #Profit #PurposeToProfit Could it be that if we took what we have already and use it, we might get the 'breakthroughs' that we are seeking? Critically thinking, why would we have what we have at the moment? Why would you have that gift of listening to people? Why would you be so adept at organizing things? Why is it that your strong suit is thinking and coming up with ideas? If we used these original 'seeds' we could reap a profit I'm sure. That's why I prepared the Purpose To Profit Course: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching Listen to this

New #Podcast! 646. [Book Review] Think Again, By Adam Grant Adam Grant is a professor but the way he has written this book would make you feel like it was written by an average person. It is easy to understand, it is rich and it is absolutely deep. The subject that he is covering is about questioning our original ideas, listening to other people to accommodate their ideas and sharing our ideas with other people. I recommend this book to teachers, leaders, parents and scholars. You will enjoy it and it will make you grow.

🎉 New #Podcast! Conventional ways of doing things will always silence the new and unconventional ways. That is why we need a supporting environment, an accountability environment and a mentoring environment to turn purpose into profit. We are creating all that through the Purpose To Profit Course available on https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching. Have you ever seen people being ostracized even by their very own families because they decided to take a different path to the status quo? That is one of the biggest reasons why people do not turn their purpose into profit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The many things we do subconsciously are the things that do not need thinking. That means that if we are only following a proven path all the time, chances are that we are not stretching or growing. People do not monetize their purpose because there is no proven path...until now. We have created a course "Purpose To Profit" that provides that path: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching The fact that the proven path is not there does not mean that purpose cannot be turned into profit. It can. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! How dreams are stolen is simple. You get people to ignore their purpose and focus on status quo. So you get talented people, people with passion and ideas struggling with life. They cannot convert that purpose into profit because they are steeped into status quo. I have created a course that can help people with this and you can find it here: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching The biggest reason our purpose is not converted into profit is because we don't give it a second thought for it is not the mainstay of life. It is not conventional. Listen to this.

🎉New #Podcast! "What purpose?" "What profit?" And there you have it. I have been there and done it. While being thrown out of houses for not paying rent, while starving and seeking handouts, all along, I was a gifted person. I just could not see how to connect that gift to work and then to getting paid. In fact, I was totally oblivious of the fact that the gift was there, ready to be tapped. I am convinced that we all can turn our purpose into profit. We need an input, a process, patience and then the results start trickling in. I have created an online class towards that. You can find it here: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching It is time to turn our purpose into profit folks. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Most countries around the world are grappling with "Joblessness" numbers. Perhaps the thing that is interesting about a jobless individual is the fact that they do have purpose. They might be lacking in other things needed to get a "job" such as "qualifications", but that does not take from them the fact that they do have some gifts, talents, passion, a calling and even ideas. I think one of the ways of solving this is through #PurposeToProfit. That is why I have put up a program that will help people to convert their purpose into fun and income at the same time. Listen for details and connect to the program here: https://bit.ly/purpose2profit-coaching Let's get this done.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of my favorite quotes is an ancient Roman saying: "The world, the crowds and sometimes even the grave stand aside for the person who knows where they are going but they sweep the aimless drifter away". That proves my point. When you clarify and show your vision to the world, you get engaged. People think, however, that if you narrow down your life to a vision, you will be blocking other people from connecting with you. Tell me: If you wanted something specific, would you go to a general practitioner or a specialist in the field? Here is why it is important to show your vision. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Today we take a look at one of the most powerful books written on the subject of brain development. This book is a must read if you are interested in your brain health, mental health, productivity. I recommend it to all parents who care about the mental development of their children. I took some time to review it for you. Have a listen.

🎉 New #Podcast! We have powerful tools that are for free today. What big time organizations used to pay in thousands of dollars, we have for free (nearly) in terms of social media. Question: If we went to any of your social media channels today, what will we find? You see, if you have personal vision, one of the greatest channels of "Showing" that vision to the world is your social media. If you keep debating about it, realize that the whole wide world, the human society has moved to social media: Governments, businesses, personalities, sports organizations, NGOs, as well as everyone else. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! You know, it is not that people do not have personal vision. They do, at least a semblance of it. However, what kills personal vision the most is apathy. If you have a semblance of a vision or the clarified vision itself, you need to do something about it as fast as you can. If not, apathy sets in. In the end you become an enemy to your own vision. What to do? Simple. "Show it". The more you show the vision, the more you give it legs to move, opportunity to recruit and exposure to people, as well as accountability. How? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have said elsewhere that people will only engage where there is clarity of vision. Even in love relationships, where there is no clarity, there is no engagement. When you clarify your vision and go one step further to tell people what it really is, people start connecting with it seeking engagement with it. Also, those who do not care about it start getting out of your life, which is a massive blessing. Here is how you can show your vision so that it recruits the right kind of people. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Now that you have your vision clarified and owned, the next step is to show it around. This is a crucial step that helps to "give your vision some legs". If the vision is not "shown" around, there is no accountability, no visibility and no recruitment. We need these three things so we can have some traction with our vision. Here is one way to show your vision. Listen to this

🎉 New #Podcast! Three things are important about your personal vision, at least before you take action. Knowing it, owning it and showing it. At times we freeze from showing our vision because there isn't much to it. We feel that it's just a vision anyway, we are not yet ready to tell. Showing vision is as critical as knowing and owning it. If anything to show the vision, you are cementing the process of knowing it and owning it in the first place. Here is why it is important to show the vision. Listen to this

🎉 New #Podcast! There are three important things about your vision. First you need to KNOW it. Second, and perhaps, very extremely important as compared to the other two, OWN it. Last, and flowing naturally from the first two, SHOW IT. It is in the process of showing that vision that we get to recruit people. Probably vision doesn't recruit as directly as you think it would, but the vision does attract people to you. That's why it is important to show the vision. Listen to this.

Simon Sinek is a big time thought leader. His books on purpose and leadership are incredible. In this review, we take a look at one of his landmark books, "The Infinite Game". I had great joy to read it and could not put it down. It is very instructive and thought provoking. If you are a leader in business or non profit or even a leader in the government, this book is a great resource for you. Listen in

🎉 New #Podcast! Its one thing to have vision, but it is quite another thing for the vision 'to have you'. To be so consumed with it that when your name is mentioned, the vision comes up...or when the vision is mentioned, your name comes up. This would be only because you have chose to "own" the vision. There are pretty small but powerful things that you can do in order to facilitate the process of ownership of vision. Here are just five of them. Listen to this.
