The Story of a #1000 note

Gradually,this year is grinding to a halt.Very soon,Xmas Carols will rend the airwaves.

How will you rememder this year?What will you remember this year for?

My intention is not to write off the year yet - I beleive that it is not over until it is over!

My aim is just to ginger up my readers to review their gosal for the year and analyse progress made- so far.

My prayer for all is that God who has seen you this far will see you ALL THE WAY!

Has the year been rough on you thus far?Dont worry;be happy! YOU have not devalued before God.Jesus knows about ALL our struggles;He will come through for us!

Consider the story of the N1000 Currency Note;

A well-known

speaker started off

his seminar by

holding up a N1000.00 note. In

the room of 200, he asked,

"Who would like this N1,000


note?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give


this N1,000 to one of you


but first, let me do this.

He proceeded to


crumple up the

N1,000 naira note..

He then asked, "Who still


wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the


air.

Well, he replied, "What if I do


this?"

And he dropped it on the


ground

and started to grind it into the


floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled


and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the


air.

My friends, we have all learned


a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the


money, you still wanted it

because it did not decrease in


value.

It was still worth N1,000.

Many times in our lives,

we are dropped, crumpled,


and ground into the dirt

by the decisions we make and

the circumstances that come


our way.

We feel as though we are


worthless!..

But no matter what has


happened or

what will happen, you will


never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or


finely creased,

you are still

priceless to those

who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes

not in what we do or who we

know,

but by WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST .



You

are VERY special-

Don't EVER forget it."

CHRIST BOUGHT US WITH HIS BLOOD.



Shalom.

ACRES OF DIAMOND

The Acres of Diamond story,reportedly told over 5000 times by the American rhetorist,Russel H Conwell,between 1900 and 1925 is what I bring (again) to you today with good reasons.

Ali Hafed,a wealthy Persian farmer,who was content because he was wealthy(and wealthy because he was content!)heard about the existence of Diamonds from an old Bhuddist Priest and decided to sell his farm and all his belongings to go in search of Diamonds??! -because he was no longer content because he thought he was poor(and now thinking he was poor because he is unhappy?!)

After losing his fortune in his unsuccessfull search for Diamonds,he committed sucide.

Ironically,the buyer of his farm benefitted greatly because,out of the garden he purchased fron Ali,was discovered the Diamond Mine of Golconda in southern India - the most magnificient Diamond Mine in the history of Mankind!(Kohinoor and the Orloff stones of the crown jewells of England and Russia,the largest on Earth came from there.)

THE MORALS OF ALI HAFED:

Had Ali remained at home and dug in his own cellar,or underneath his own wheat field or in his own garden, instead of wretchedness and starvation,or death by sucide i a strange land;he would have had ACRES OF DIAMOND!

For every acre of that old farm,yes,even every shovelfull,afterwards yeilded gems which since has decorated the crowns of Monarchs.
THE SUCEESSFUL PURSUIT OF EVERY DREAM REQUIRES WISDOM.

As an already wealthy person,Ali ought to have considered,very well,the pros and cons of his expedition. As A RULE,TO PROTECT YOUR WEALTH;YOU DONT TAKE A STEP THAT WILL MAKE YOU FALL IF IT FAILS TO PRODUCE THE EXPECTED GAIN.

Do you know why Diamonds are so expensive? BECAUSE THEY GLITTER?NO!BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD AND ALMOST INDESTRUCTIBLE!DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!!
As Diamonds are indestructible,so are your dreams!Not just a flicker or a glitter for the whole world to see but irrevesible,irrepressible and indestructible!

Your Dream is worth much more than Diamonds IF WELL CULTIVATED!

REMEMBER,DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER;SO ARE YOUR DREAMS!

THE SUPREME SECRET

"Whatever the mind of man can concieve and believe,he can achieve - with a positive mental attitude" - W.Clement Stone
Dr. Napoleon Hill calls this "the supreme secret"


2.HABIT 2:Begin with the end in mind

The second profound wisdom extracted from Kola Olutimehin's "Dream and Achieve" is the advise that you write your autobiography as a 90 year old man or woman! - looking down the memeory lane!?

Why,I had always known about "habit 2" (ref:Steven Covey:7 - Habits of successful people)but i felt this is rather far - fetched!But ,really,is too?Too good to be true is sometimes true!Afterall,dreams do come true... so,try it plese,i urge you.

This way,new definitions of Dreams come forth:according to Kola,"a dream suggests that life can be a grand event." Peter J. Daniels calls it a "sense of grandeur"

A dream is a glimpse of destiny which provides magnificence,nobility and dignity.DREAMING IS A GOD-GIVEN CAPACITY WHICH MUST BE NURTURED WITH SENSITIVITY.A DREAM IS A DIRECTION,NOT A DESTINATION.BE A PRACTICAL DREAMER,DONT WAIT FOR YOUR SHIP TO COME IN - CREATE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES,DONT SIT AROUND WAITING FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN;BE PROACTIVE!(Habit 1).FINALLY,DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN!AWAKE!!WORK,NOTHING WORKS TILL YOU WORK!!!

DREAM and ACHIEVE

"You ought to be afraid to die until you've contributed something great back to humanity" -Oliver Wendel Holmes

Recently,I came across an interesting book written by Kola Olutimehin titled "Dream and Achieve", which featured some astonishing postulations that i felt compelled to share vital information from the book and my comments on same with all the followers of DreamsDreamer's Blog.


1. THE PRINCIPLE OF ENLIGHTENED WEALTH

I have always believed in the maxim "Live and let Live";but my life experience so far leads me to think that not many share this believe with me!In this world of 'Dog eat Dog', it was so refreshing for me to hear an international motivational speaker and trainer of the calibre of Kola Olutimehin expound the reality of a WIN-WIN Situation in his Principle of Enlightened Wealth.

He affirms that,contrary to the paradim system of economics as the study of allocation of scarce resources,God has provided abundantly so much so that our world is filled with an abundance of resources,and that we can all have plenty,without loss for other people

In his own words:"Living with a WIN-WIN-WIN Mentality and Attitude,eliminates the ME-ME-ME Mindset.Therein lies the principle that I WILL NOT GET INVOLVED IN A TRANSACTION THAT WILL NOT PROVIDE A FAIR BENEFIT TO ALL WHO ARE CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION"


I have hitherto promoted Covenant Wealth in my (near)total distrust for men who dominate (other)men to their peril!
In my Covenant Wealth Parlance,you seek wealth to finance kingdom ventures - therefore God Almighty is your Covenant(senior)Partner.It is this DEO-Factor that makes things happen!HE is the (un-seen)third party in any transaction you do with men that watches over to ensure that promises are kept,bargains are honoured.THIS IS MY WINNING FORMULA (A.K.A SUCCESS INSURANCE)!

Compare the winning formula (WIN-WIN)embedded in the Enlightened Wealth Psychology[which is defined as the sum of our thought processes that has been induced by our knowledge and experience,in respect of the acquisition,sharing and distribution of wealth]which is the desire and action to give back to our community out of which we have been privileged to recieve much and the understanding that "abundance comes from making others better off" (Andrew Carnegie).There it is!You have to help others succeed in other to succeed!It Is Simple,Really.

So,my dear friends,let us do away with the tendecy to want to "win at all costs" and the "winners take all" attitude.It does not mean that for you to win,someone has to lose;the sky is big enough for us all to fly!Think WIN-WIN-WIN!!

I shall be looking at another thought provoking motivational manna from Kola Olutimehin's book "Dream and Achieve" in my next post(coming up tuesday 7July).

Till then I say to ALL of you that are Practical Dreamers;Dream and Achieve!

A MAN SHOULD BE AS "RIVERS" (1)

[caption id="attachment_57" align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Dreamsdreamer is 45!"][/caption]

Dreamsdreamer turned 45 yesterday 21st June! Once again,It is a time to Bless!!

During a memorable encounter with a Samaritan Woman,by a water well, as recorded in the Gospel according to Saint John.Jesus Christ (John 4:14 )talks about the "Water Of Life":this is what I offer my readers and followers of the Dreamsdreamer's Blog today!

The water of life is the wonderfull truth that Jesus is the Christ who gives salvation to every believer. (Jn 4:25.26,42.)

This truth produces in the believer a "spring" from which flows eternal life.Since that life lasts forever,no one who takes this living water will ever get thirsty(i.e need eternal life again)

One drink of the living waterJesus offers quenches a person's thirst for everlasting life.God's gift of eternal life is permanent and cannot be lost.

You may want to ask,"of what relevance is the issue of bithday at this place and time?"

The Bible says in psalm 90v12 "TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS ARIGHT THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM"

A BIRTHDAY IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON HOW WE HAVE BEEN SPENDING OUR LIFE,WHICH IS BOTH A GIFT, A TRUST(AND A TEST!) FROM THE ALMIGHTY,OUR CREATOR,WITH A VIEW TO SEEING IF WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER,TO THE GLORY OF OUR GOD

There is the natural birth,and the spiritual birth! It is the spiritual birth I urge you to consider today.Talking to Nicodemus,The Holy Bible quotes Jesus Christ as saying (in Jn 3:3) "verily,verily, I say unto YOU,unless a man is born-again,he cannot see the kingdom of God"

PLEASE,MY DEAR READER,GO TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY;RESPOND TO THE ALTAR CALL,BECOME BORN - AGAIN!This is the best gift you can give WordTeacher on his Birthday!

I am trusting God for your Obedience.Let ME now PRAY for YOU :

All these blessings will come upon you:"You will be blessed in the city nd blessed in the country.The fruit of your womb will be blessed,and the crops of your land ........you will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out....(Deut 28v1-14)..IN JESUS NAME!(Amen)

Shalom.

Golden Rules For Financial Success

Rule 1: FIND SAFTETY IN NUMBERS

Find Safety in Numbers!Invest in many different places;there is safety in numbers.(Eccles. 11v2)

Divesify: in shares and bonds,as in much else -there is safety in numbers!So you must diversify,by company,by industry,by risks,and .......by country!!

Remember the saying: "the man who names his pigs is broke and doesnt know it"
The morals of this is that YOU dont get emotionally attached to your investments.

There is a risk in ALL investments.Please note that "a winning plan must involve losing!" - Robert Kiyosaki

Apply your personal philosophy about risk & return to temper these general guidelines.

Studies show that people spend far more time thinking about specific investments

and where markets are headed than about allocating assets or resources to assets.

The same studies show that 90% of investment returns are due to asset allocation rather than selection of specific investments or short-term timing decisions.

"DO NOT CONFUSE CERTAINTY WITH SECURITY.LESS CASH;MORE EQUITY ASSETS ARE ADVISED"
- Sir John Templeton

People who think they can play it safe by holding cash reserve decieve themselves,they cant!

Generally speaking;Equity Stocks return 10% approx.,Bonds - 5%,Money Market - 3%.

Invest!Economic Meltdown notwithstanding! Success Rewards Action!!

THE CREATIVE USE OF MONEY

Money should do more than just reproduce itself.

"Remain flexible and open minded about types of investment.There are times to buy blue-chip stocks,cyclical stocks,corporate bonds,convertiblebonds,Treasury bills,ect.......and there are times to sit on cash!Because,cash enables you to take advantage of investment opportunities.The fact is there is no one kind of investment that is always 'best'" - sir John Templeton.

You have only 3 choices when it comes to investing:

1. YOU CAN OWN.

2. YOU CAN LEND.

3. YOU CAN BET!

When investing,we are always financially connected to others.Finacial Independence is therefore basically, an illusion.
When we buy a share of stock,we become part owners of a company producing goods and services to others.When we buy a treasury bond,we are lending money to our Government (in essence we are lending to Nations!)
to do something for ourselves and for others.When we fix deposit our money,we are lending money to a bank - that will ,in turn lend it to others.Banks simply transfer wealthtemporarily between depositors and borrowers.Their ability to producewealth depends on weither the borrower obtains aloan and uses it to create wealth or uses it to consume wealth?!

From available data,owing part of a company ha been the most rewarding type of investment and although most of us dont think about it much,it is only logical;Companies exist to create wealth!Governments on the other hand exixt primarily to regulate behaviuor,secondarily to transfer wealth,and to a lesser extent,create wealth.

Your odds of prospering are better if you finance creation of wealth.

DISCOVER THE 90/10 PRINCIPLE (A POSITIVE ATTITUDE)

THIS IS A STEPHEN COVEY TEACHING: ENJOY IT.

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is
decided by how you react.
What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which
throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the
other 90%.
How? ……….By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool
you; YOU can control how you react.
Let's use an example.
You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee
onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
What happens next will be determined by how you react.
You curse.
You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in
tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup
too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs
and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy
crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your
daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph
speed limit.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your
daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20
minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it
continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.
When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse
and daughter.
Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is “D".
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5
seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok
honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush
upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time
to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and
waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss
comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
Why?
Because of how you REACTED.
You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was
determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something
negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You
don't have to let the negative comment affect you!
React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a
friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound
on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you
curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your
drive?
Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost your job.
Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time
into finding another job.
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour
frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It
will just make things worse.
Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.
You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and
apply this principle.
The result?
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and
heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It CAN change your life!!!
Enjoy….

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

Perhaps we have been taking ourselves too seriously?Maybe we have been going at it too conservatively?? Could be someone out there is silently screaming:"cool it down!"That is why today's post is well laced with humor........a gift from Sir Signoure Cynosure Emmbatty Wise which i am happy to share with you........ENJOY THE HUMOR;LEARN THE MORALS.

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.Before she says a word, Bob says,'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and
stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?''It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.'Great,' the husband s ays, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'Moral of the story:If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift.She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.The priest nearly had an accident.After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.The nun once again said, Father, remember Psalm 129?'The priest apologized. Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'Moral of the story:If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.They rub it and a Genie comes out.The he says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.''Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'Puff! She's gone.'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'Puff! He's gone.'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'Moral of the story:Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.Moral of the story:To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.''Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're
packed with nutrients.'The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the
top of the tree.He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot
him out of the tree.Moral of the story:Bull Shit might get
you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.As the frozen bird lay there in the
pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.The
dung was actually thawing him out!He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.Morals of
the story:(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!


THUS ENDS THE MANAGEMENT COURSE! (ENJOY THE HUMOR;LEARN THE MORALS)

THINK BIG!!!

Think Positively.Use PMA (Positive Mental Attitude).If we allow ourself to dwell on negatives,we will be Negative Thinkers."THINKING POSITIVELY MEANS THINKING BIG!THINKING BIG MEANS DOING IT BETTER!!" - Ben Carson,MD

Thinking Big opens our horizons(Rich Dad calls it "expanding your context")reaching for new possibilities in our lives,being open to whatever God has in store for us on the road ahead.

If you recognise your talent,use them appropriately and choose a field that uses those talents.You will rise to the top of your profession. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18Vs16 that a" man's GIFT maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men"
The Good Book says somewhere else that "knoweth a man dilligent in his way?He shall stand before kings ,he shall not stand before mean men."

'Think Big' can be qualified by the following acronyms:

T = Talent

H = Honesty

I = Insight

N = Nice

K = Knowledge

B = Books

I = In-depth Knowledge

G = God

God has given each and every onev of us more than 14 Billion cells and connections in our brains!Now,would He give us such a complex organ system unless He expects us to use it?

Once we start living an enriched life,we are better able to give our best and bring out the best in others.

Pay close attention to your GREENPOWER:Your GreenPower is your God-Given Talent to make Money!

You need to discover your talents so that you can set the right goals for yourself and choose the Business/Career that allows you to maximise your potentials.

Remember,as you set those lofty goals; THINK BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!

VISION:A MENTAL PICTURE OF YOUR SUCCESS!

Are you VISIONARY?Before you commit your Goals in balck and white,please answer this question.
Before you can set your goals correctly,your vision must be well defined - crystal clear!

This is what you will draw up your MISSION STATEMENT from.Only then can you know what your short-term and long -term goals will be.

VISION is the ability to THINK and PLAN the FUTURE with great imagination and intelligence.

Vision is operating with the accuracy of Heaven in the matter of pursuit.

Vision is the ability to see the area you see from a particular postion.


There are 3 Great Motivation of man: VISION + DREAM + AMBITION

Vision = what can be.A visionary person sees what is unseen and wants to make it happen.

Dream = what has been;the dreamer tries to get it back.......e,g "the good old days?"

Ambition = This is a selfish desire to gratify self.

Of all these 3 Motivators,VISION is the one to be best desired.

LAWS OF VISION:(Habakkuk 2v2)

1.Write down = DOCUMENT IT.

2.Make it plain = CLARITY.

3.Run with it = ACTION PLAN.

AS LEADERS AND ENTREPRENEURS,WE NEED A GOOD VISION IN ORDER TO SURVIVE! (proverbs 29v18)

TYPES OF VISION:

The visions we have can either be PERFECT,GOOD,NORMAL,POOR,or BLURRED!?

Hindsight should benefit us when we gain insight into a matter so that we might have foresight on that matter!

All of the above can either qualify us as FARSIGHTED or SHORTSIGHTED.(see the link between this attribute and the goals you set for yourself;long-term or short-term?)
Surely, IF we have a CLEAR VISION of the future,we would adjust the courseof our life accordingly?

HOW TO GET VISION:

VISION is a quality of the MIND. Unless the mind is well understood,our visions can at best be poor.The cerebral cortex is that part of the brain responsible for perceptions such as eyesight,sight or vision.It can produce a state of LOW VISION.
Since everyone posseses a brain,each of us can become a person of vision.The CHOICE is OURS.

Ponder this.

Till next time.

GOALS SETTING:KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND PURSUE IT!

"Natural abilities are like natural plants;they need prunning by study" -Francis Bacon.

Today,we shall be doing some self-examinations.Only then can we be trully ready to set goals.To succeed in life,one first has to succeed in being one-self.

Men who control megafortunes know what they want and pursue it.

Sit down witha pen and paper.Ask youself some salient questions:

Q:What do I really want out of life?

Q:What are my heart's desires?

Q:What would I do IF I knewI could not fail?

Q:What would I do that I knew could NEVER Fail?

Q: What are my Strenghts & Weaknesses?(we shall be discusing S.W.O.T Analysis later on)

In providing honest answers to these questions,you will discover yourself!

YOU are Basically a 4 in 1 Person:

* You have YOUR PRIVATE LIFE - How you see yourself.Who you think you are.

* You have YOUR PUBLIC LIFE - How the public see you.Who the people think you are.

* You have YOUR ACTUAL LIFE - How you really are.RIGHT NOW!THIS IS YOUR FILE!

* You have YOUR IDEAL LIFE - How you should be.This is your DESTINED SELF.

Find yourself and be yourself:Live your own Life!In setting Goals - Go for the Ultimate you!The IDEAL You;because that is who you are created to be!

Only the man who has found his true self can know himself,find his own best talents and achieve his high success.

You may also want to take the SWOT ANALYSIS before you attempt to set goals foryourself.

S = Strenght.What things are you GOOD at?What Motivates you?What do you Enjoy doing?

W = Weaknesses.What are the things you are neither excited at or proficient at doing?

O = Opportunity.Develop a gift for discernment.Discover a need in your community and fill it.

T = Threat.Attitude comes in here.Your mindset matters.What you consider a threat can be an opportunity for the next man.What you can properly classify as threat is what your faith cannot carry.Dont carry a load that your faith cannot carry(if you dont have a strong heart,you cannot be your own boss).

Invest some time in yourself today.Do some serious Self Examination.Next time you shall be better prepared to set those lofty goals..................

"A man who qualifies himself well for his calling Never Fails of his employment." - Thomas Jefferson.

Success is when Opportunity meets Preparation.

To the actualizationof your Success Dreams,

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

I concluded my last post with this rhetoric question:WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

You first need to visualize your success before you can have it.The Good Book says "as he thinketh so he is".You are bascally what you think you are - a product of your dreams you might say.If you cannot see it,you cannot have it.There is first a seeing before there can be a entering into.You have to START to Dream your "Dream"Lifestyle NOW before you can hope to LIVE IT!

DreamsDreamer encourages his readers to Dream Dreams.Cherish your Visions and Dreams,

they are the children of your soul,the blueprint of your ultimate success.

The former executive governor of an oil rich south-south (Niger-Delta) state in Nigeria,Arch. Obong Victor Attah once said in a Television interview that he attributes his huge success in developmental projects to his ability to dream a lot.He counsels "dream BIG Dreams,dream MANY of them!You never know which one will succeed first or succeed the most."

DO YOU HAVE DREAMS?WHAT IS YOUR DREAM??HOW BIG IS YOUR DREAM???

Who told you it cant be done?What great achievement has he got to his credit that entitles him to use the word IMPOSSIBLE?SAY NO TO DREAMKILLERS AND NAYSAYERS!!

I close with the words of Paul Meyer:"crystallize your goals.make a plan for achieving themand set yourself a deadline.Then,with supreme confidence,determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's critizism,carry out your plan!"

IN ,my next posting,we shall be talking about Visions and Goals Setting.

BEWARE OF MONKEY UNIVERSITY!!!!!???

Hi Friends,

My MLM Leader and Mentor,Randy Gage sent me this story which I now happily share with you,my patners in Network Marketing - and other on-line ventures....... So here it is…"A couple of very intriguing things happened on my recent trip to Thailand for the Agel Leadership Retreat. And they certainly will have a major effect on our business, and where it will go in the years ahead…The first incident took place when I was at the eco reserve, taking the elephant trek through the rainforest. There was also a demonstration on how they train monkeys to harvest coconuts. What a fascinating demonstration. You send your monkey to “Monkey University,” which costs about US$100 a month for three to four months. They teach the monkeys to climb to the top of the palm tress, hang by one hand and leg, then use their other hand and leg to spin each coconut until it falls to the ground. Once your chimp graduates, he or she comes back with the ability to harvest 1,000 coconuts a day! Now think about this in light of the current economic situation…People are worrying about all the jobs being outsourced to India. Wait until they’re replaced by monkeys! The second thing happened in the First Class lounge in San Francisco…There was a couple in there with an adorable puppy, which they were bringing in a carrier on board. Juan Carlos went over first to play with the puppy and he chatted with the owners. He came back and told me that the puppy had actually been cloned! I had a hard time believing that, because the puppy was so normal and playful. I went over to pet him and chatted with the couple. They were sitting about two rows ahead of us on our flight to Miami, and the husband took the dog back to coach a couple times. So I was still kind of wondering about the cloning thing. Until the next day.When I picked up The Miami Herald, and our little puppy was on page one! Sure enough, he had been cloned at a lab in Korea. Yet I tell you that dog was the most natural, frisky, and loving puppy you’ve ever seen. And that is what is so intriguing. And so scary…As a major Sci-Fi fan I’ve been very intrigued about the idea of cloning for years. And the last Star Wars film with the clone armies certainly gives you some food for thought. So what’s going to happen next? I don’t think any of us can know. Cloning raises ethical and philosophical issues that will likely be debated for decades. But what we can know is that progress will never stop. And there are people working on cloning humans right now…So if you can’t be replaced with a monkey , don’t you think your company would love to swap you out with a clone. Or ten? Here’s one thing I do know:The world will never be the same. And the economy will never be the same. Millions of the jobs eliminated recently are not coming back. And all these billions of dollars, Euros and pounds of government bailouts are just delaying the inevitable, spending our children’s future. The world has never needed help more, and Agel will be the lifeline for many people. Now more than ever, we must reach out to help those facing devastation. Our profession is the last true bastion of real free enterprise, where people can still build their dreams and create financial freedom. We have to be the change we wish to create. We have to be the revolution. The old economic model is broken. And we have the answer. So get out there and shout it from the rooftops!" -RG

SO,FRIENDS CATCH THE DRIFT;OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS,YOU HAVE TO OWN YOUR BUSINESS:WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
