Start with What You Have, Start Now!

"Don’t let life discourage you” “everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was” – Richard L. Evans.

If only I have the required capital, if only I have B.sc, if only I have the right connection, if only my parents are rich…….all are alibis. The resources needed to achieve the dream at hand is with you at every point in time, look inward, meditate, ask yourself what is the way out, what is the next alternative. Believe me, there is always a better alternative. “You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again” says Benjamin Franklin

Those who believe opportunity come but once may be right, we have countless number of people who remain the same today as they are years back just because they always postpone till next day what they need to do today. If you doubt that, you may like to meditate on what Abraham Lincoln have to say on this, “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” Don’t be among the people who always eat the leftover, double your action; stop putting till tomorrow what you should do today.

Discouraging yourself from pursuing your dreams because you lack what you think is the most important thing is a waste of time and energy. The most important resource needed is you; so start the work now. A journey of a thousand miles, they say, start with a single step. According to Norman Vincent Peale “The really happy people are those who have broken the chains of procrastination, those who find satisfaction in doing the job at hand. They’re full of eagerness, zest, productivity. You can be, too.”

Where Are You Heading To?

“Someone said a wise man is someone who has job and is still looking for job, but I said a wise man is someone who has job, and is planning his/her exit” – Balogun M. Adewale.

Yes, there is always a need for at least a team to make up a company; we cannot all become an entrepreneur as claimed. You can be part of such team planning your exit to become part owner of such business if you cannot go ahead as a start-up to create the team.

The earth is created naturally to reproduced and grow, be part of the natural law by thinking of what you can create, produce, develop etc to be part of the world development. “The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving” says Oliver Wendell Holmes. It’s not whether you are an employee now or not that matters to me, it is where you are going to end it at last. Are you planning for that?

What you are looking for, is what you will see

"You can only find opportunities if you are looking for them." – Strive Masiwiya

Ever wonder why it’s seemed there is no way to move ahead? Check your mindset; there is no doubt about what you are seeing around you, it’s about what you programmed your mind to see. Let me ask you, what are you looking for; possibility or impossibility? Wale Olajumoke proclaimed “Success begins with having CLARITY.” There are three sets of people when it comes to working towards achievement; those who doesn’t know what they are looking for, those who know what they are looking for but fill their mind with the opposite and lastly, those who know what they are looking for, positively looking for it and believe they will achieve it.

You need Focus to get it Right

“Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Focus on your character, not your reputation. Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.” ― Roy T. Bennett

If you dig deep into the meaning of focus as related to your success, you will always find it in different dimension. In a race competition, you are already a loser if you live your track for someone else. What is your business with someone affair, if you are yet to get yours right. That is by the way.
