The tendency to succeed lies in you delivering quality and excellence in whatever you do, taking cognizance of this fact, I see no reason why we cannot infuse these qualities in our lives, as we do when it concerns product or services. I have noticed that the moment we begin to see ourselves as a brand and strive on a daily basis to improve ourselves, infuse values that are positive and profitable into our daily life, success is inevitable. To buttress my view, I came up with some points which I feel if considered would make a change.
IDENTIFY YOUR INTEREST
The simple truth is that performance at its peak only comes from interest. When we don’t have a choice, anything becomes the option. This to me is like settling for less when you can decide and focus your mind and energy on something of essence and worth.
This point is very direct, whatever you show interest in to a large extent shapes your life. As we know, the decisions we make on a daily basis are the stepping stones to where we are headed. Basically, what I am saying here is that we should allow our interest influence our work and also allow our work influence our interest because infusing both factors goes a long way to show your efficiency and willingness to improve in whatever you do which would in turn define the kind of person you are.
IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCE
This point is explicit enough, it basically involves knowing the people in need of what you have to offer and working with them, doing all it takes to be continuously relevant and useful. All you need do is on a daily basis, fashion out ways to keep evolving, create a niche for yourself and have your standards.
You have to make sure you are easy to access and also package yourselves well so as to continually being the preferred option as regards your area of specialization, because when people see quality, they go after it.
When you have identified them, interact with them on how best to serve them better, knowing their preferences and working with that to get them the desired results. Simply see your cooperation with them as a symbiosis process where both parties benefit from each other.
EXPAND YOUR BRAND TO ACCOMMODATE RELATED SERVICES
All you need to do at this stage is, get involved or render other services in your line of expertise. The brand you have being able to build would serve as a leverage for you to break even, also considering the fact that you have a customer base that you already have people who believe in you and the service you render.
Being innovative helps to stamp your relevance in the mind of our audience, fashion out new and better ways of satisfying the need of your audience, still infusing the concept of quality and excellence that you are known for. With this in place, success is inevitable
DIVERSIFICATION
This is the last stage, and it is the process of multiplying success. After you have being able to carve a niche for yourself in your area of expertise, the next thing is to begin looking out for other area of interest, while still maintaining the initial operation with all process attached to it.
To do this, you start from the first step again, building it stage by stage to the point where the level of success achieved in the existing process is replicated in the new line of service. At this point, the challenges are kind of easier based on your experience in building something similar formerly.
When you look around you, the people you see, who have attained major points in life and their careers followed this step by step to the point where they are today. My simple advice is consider these points and do what is rght.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THERE ARE PRICES TO PAY
Every living human being in/on this planet called “earth” has expectations, even those who do not do anything expect miracles, whatever we want to call it, it is all aimed towards being successful, becoming someone of repute, making a mark and being a responsible human being.
This thought came while I was in a bus at Oshodi Bus Park recently. I overheard a group of narrow minded guys talking about a friend of theirs who just got picked up by a popular Fuji musician, and would now have the opportunity to sing and get promoted by the popular musician. After a while, one of them said, “let us stop talking about him and pray that God remembers us also”. Knowing that opportunity only comes when you have the resources to pull it through, the line statement struck me and got me thinking. This brought me to the topic of this essay.
There are certain prices to pay for success, and I know for sure it takes someone with a determined heart to achieve it. Why not highlight the point, so we know what to work through if we want success in life, hence the points below.
DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION
This to me is the ability to do what it takes to achieve the level and kind of result intended, and constantly put your hands and heart to work out your plan so your results are inevitable.
These two qualities are very hard to exhibit because naturally they do not give instant gratification. It takes a lot for one to subject himself to imbibing these qualities which for sure are major prices to pay in ones quest to achieve success.
These qualities involves doing your best every time possible, as a friend of mine would say ” getting things right the first time and every time”, leaving no details to chance, being fully grounded in rules and mode of operation and following them to the last note no matter how stressful or routine-like they are.
SMARTWORK
I say smart work because a lot of people have to understand it again and again that hard work alone does not put one fully where he should be. The combination of thorough positive creative thinking in addition to hard work gives the success we desire.
To buttress my point, lets take a case of a man working in a laundry outfit. He can only become successful to a point of envy if he thinks and works towards having his own outfit, not working for long years for someone else. I am not saying everybody should start their own business, I am only pointing out the fact that working on a daily basis to achieve the highest level of result in our chosen career is the only way towards achieving success, and that to me is SMARTWORK.
POSITIVE MENTALITY
Whether we believe it or not, there are a lot of things to prove to us that our mentality to a large extent affects us, our response to issues and how we are treated. I would advice that we think positively , give our mind the mental shampoo needed on a daily basis so as to allow it produce results we need.
The Holy Bible says, “guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it comes the issue s of life”. Whatever you expose yourself to is what occupies your heart, mind and thought pattern, hence the results you get.
BEING GOAL ORIENTED
Knowing what your actual aim is and being direct about it is what this is all about. Breaking it into smaller pieces for you to be able to achieve them faster and easier is a major step towards this. No matter what you do, always keep your eyes on the goal, make them as realistic and time bound as possible so as to achieve your mark as fast as possible.
Whatever it is you want to succeed in, there are steps and work to engage in to rise through the rank. So the less you allow distractions, the better for you.
A LEVEL OF LUCK
It is in a way motivating to believe in luck because opportunities not planned for surfaces, and believing in this makes you at least put things in place so when it comes, you do not gnash your teeth, but able to seize it and make good use of it.
Our major work now is putting all these points to work so as to get desired result.

I BELIEVE I AM, SO I AM
“Tell yourself that you are a genius, and right away, you would probably wonder why and in what way you are a genius. Also, you would have opened your mind to wonder and to asking questions. That’s a big step towards thinking like a genius which would help you unlock so many talents” – Donald Trump.
“Anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried anything new” – Albert Einstein.
Lying on my bed one evening thinking, the topic of this essay rang continuously in my head. I had read and have being applying materials teaching how to work on one’s mind to get desired result, even though it is an ongoing process, I had began to see the significance and understand the meaning of the statements made by these greats highlighted above.
I took out time to study Donald Trump, the way he rose to fame and fortune, fell and then came back on board, whatever the reason for his fall was, which might have been wrong decisions made, he eventually learnt from them, started all over again with cautious and corrective steps which eventually restored him back to his position.
During his trying period, his mindset never changed, they never saw themselves as failures or lesser people needing sympathy or pity from people. All they did was find out the mistakes they made and started work immediately on rebuilding their broken walls, making it more aesthetic and stronger than before.
Your mindset about yourself goes a long way to say who you are and what you would turn out to be. It is a very strong leverage to acquire all we want in this world. Wealth, power, fame and even their opposite comes from the mind. I laugh every time I say this to someone because of the meaning it carries.
Every day, ignorance makes a lot of people call themselves all sort of names like “less privileged, poor, needy, beggar”, it makes me wonder how low of themselves they think. It is bad sometimes to the point where many of them have no form of physical deformity, but it’s a pity they have the major deformity which is that of the mind and thought pattern.
Out of personal experience, I discovered that REPITITION goes a long way in gaining mastery. I have come to believe and discover that saying positive things to myself repetitively has helped me with putting my thought pattern right and having a positive mentality.
On a daily basis, I advice that we confess to ourselves what we desire, need and expect, putting our mindsets in position to believe this words. One thing I know it would do is raise questions in our hearts as to how to become what we envisage and confess and meditation and careful thinking over a period would bring solutions than we ever imagined, Note, the mind is richer and broader than we can ever think of.
A part of the Bible which I paraphrase says the power to build and destroy lies in the tongue also that the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart. Sincerely, having a positive mindset regularly goes a long way in not only changing one’s life but helps to get desired results.
I watched a video clip about Billionaires listed on Forbes and one of them (Mark Cuban) made a statement, he said and I quote “ I am the luckiest guy in the world and when I die, I want to come back as me”. That is a powerful statement that a lot would never be bold to say and he only said due to the state of his mind.
Note, the difference between the wealthy and poor is a function of their mind, thought pattern and declaration. The sooner you make the right decision, the better for you

THINK, TALK AND ACT POSITIVELY
Your mindset to a large extent affects how things or situations turn around for you. I have learnt that most of the success we see around on a daily basis both from others and ourselves basically are first generated from the mind, the possibility of achieving this success is a dominant factor which in turn helped us in building the tempo translated into work to produce it.
The art of thinking is a major skill God gave us to proffer solution to problems or challenges we face, it is a means of consulting with one’s self and getting out great ideas and solutions that are groundbreaking and remarkable, but we limit this activity through our negative thoughts.
When we were kids, we would think of a lot of things without any barrier over our thought pattern, but in the name of REALITY, we have used our minds to push ourselves to the point where most of us have lost control of that powerful tool and are even scared for NOTHING.
When a person says something but thinks and acts differently, to me, the person has a split personality. This attitude makes it hard for one to achieve goals and even gain credibility. In a situation where your attitude makes you loose credibility with others, don’t you think you would also loose it in yourself?, it would be harder for you to even set a target and meet or exceed it.
It is stated in the bible that “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”. If a man’s thought, words and actions help in shaping his life, then I don’t see why he should not have a positive approach to this process so as to get the positive result he needs.
I know it is not easy, but nothing in life comes easy as they say, it requires a determined and constant effort from an individual to say, act and think positive in this world today due to happenings around, but nobody would do it for you. The earlier you take the bull by the horn, the better and the faster it is for you to get to your destination.
Regularly, books are churned out to teach people on how to be self motivating through their thoughts, acts and words, the problem is either that we are not finding time to read at all or we do not practice what we have learnt.
As a mentor of mine would say ‘First within, then without”, this means that we have to shift our mindset from the norm of impossibility, negativity, quitting, failure, being scared unnecessarily and insecurity. Switch gear so as to get the tenacity, tempo and zeal to move ahead in life which is a sure route to better result

LIVE FOR TOMORROW.
The decisions we take in one way or the other affects people around us. I say this due to my observations of situation of things in our world and environment today. As we know, the world moves in a cycle, both in literary form and also with the trend of ideas and concepts we think of on a daily basis, also is the fact that before one generation goes, another is present. This alone should bring us to the understanding that the way we build our environment, country and world at large is the way the younger generation would meet it and possibly treat it.
When a child is born, he grows to become an adult observing characters and behaviors from his sample space which starts from his immediate family to his immediate society. Overtime, he picks his mentor, role model or coach, sometimes without the consent of this people and forms his life based on how they live theirs. He replicates their lifestyle to a point where it also becomes an habitual lifestyle for him/her also.
This is a major reason why some men beat women up, steal, are aggressive and show or display other ill characters. The decision to make it in life and be responsible is a major issue because it affects the kind of lifestyle you as a person would live in and also your immediate nuclear family. It affects the quality of security and provision you give to your spouse and children which will in turn determine the kind of life your children would subsequently live and the decisions they also make in life.
Whatever you do in life, be rest assured that you are in a way planting a seed that would surely germinate in the lives of others. The main issue now is to know if the kind of seed you plant is the type they would be grateful to you for.
The decisions to make good choices in life that would eventually translate in good fruits or good conditions over time is the attitude or behavior I admonish everybody to imbibe even though it might hurt to live by, the results would be cherished for life.
In whatever you do, remember that the lives of people are dependent on the decisions you take now, I admonish everyone to take right and sincere decisions which would bring joy to their faces when the time comes.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF, THINK LIKE A CHAMPION
To become a champion in life, we face a lot of obstacles; the ability to overcome them brings us to the desired success results we achieve.
Obstacles come in different sizes and forms depending on what our benchmark or desired results are. The more one is willing to fight, the more success and victory you command. The environment, situation, competitors and a lot of other factors bring problems with them as long as we operate within their confines. To me, the problems that come with them are easy to overcome compared to the ones we face when we challenge ourselves.
Challenging one’s self is doing far above your expected limit. This means you are willing to go the extra mile to achieve greater reward. To become a champion in any field of life, one has to determine to do far more than what is expected, far more than the norms or the ordinary.
In English language, we have the words “ordinary and extraordinary”, we know both of them are used to express a situation, but one is more distinct than the other, which we know is the second (extraordinary). This is simply in this context putting extra effort into whatever endeavor we engage in so as to achieve exemplary results. As a mentor of mine says regularly, “Good is the enemy of best”.
Our standards or accepted results most of the time are the problems we have for not doing better. Until we set groundbreaking goals for ourselves, we would not make marks that would set a path for others to follow.
The champions we envy around us today are who they are because of the efforts they put into their work and the ability to look at obstacles as stepping stones towards expected end. Also, your mindset to a large extent affects decisions one take in life which eventually transforms to the results achieved. Our mindset needs to be challenged, corrected, taught, and changed in situation where that is needed to give results that would touch lives in general. Also, positive mentality and having the right company around you that helps in motivating you and giving you the “can do it” mentality is a major step towards making a mark. Doing a little more, being persistent and focus on a task so as to bring it to a conclusive and excellent end makes one a champion.
In Nigeria today, we have business moguls such as Aliko Dangote, MIcheal Adenuga, the reason they are people to reckon with both here in their country and outside is because they have been able to concentrate their effort, put in the extra needed into every stage of growth of their organization, as it is said, “little drops of water over a period makes a mighty ocean”. The major problem people have is the fact that people relax too early, but they fail to understand that to achieve constant success, constant input, effort and improvement is the key.
I read punch newspaper for the 3rd of July 2011 and came across a story of an NYSC member who made an impact around Ikorodu area in Lagos. She built a primary school for the community and was commended by the community, corporate bodies and the state as a whole. Her extra efforts over the years made her a celebrity as against other corp members around her
In conclusion to this, to be a champion, simply do productive work consistently and the results would show, no matter where you find yourself.

LEARN TO MAKE QUICK AND RIGHT DECISIONS
Every day, we make decisions that in one way or the other shapes our lives and overtime creates a type of future, either the type we envisage or not. The decision not to even take a stand is a decision already taken. Why should we then not be actively involved in a process that will with or without our consent build or shape our lives?,.
The difference between two people are the decisions they have taken at different times in their lives, the quality of the decision and how fast they took the decision, which are then implemented and eventually gives the results we see.
As human beings, we have the ability to think as against animals which acts only based on instinct and feelings. We know the difference between good and bad and also can envisage what the results of our actions could be based on the decisions we take after careful thinking.
As we know, RESPONSIBILITY is the ability to respond to issues. This is based on what decision we make, how fast we make them and the ability or will to follow them through. I hear the sentence “hit the ground running”, this to me simply means meeting a problem with a readymade and instant solution so as to get quick result. But you cannot do this without first taking a decision.
My last essay or discussion was about acquiring information and applying them as usable knowledge, the amount of material or information one is exposed to makes one decide rightly. When we see a successful man, we show him a lot of admiration and respect and in some cases, followership. What we fail to look at most of the time is that the sum total of the decisions he took in his life made him who he is and all we see around him. The drive for change or excellence comes only by determination which is born out of decision to see to a conclusive end issues we are involved.
My point mainly, is to advice that in whatever we do or wherever we find ourselves, we should learn to think and make decisions quickly because this is the only way we can achieve our goals and aspiration. Be it as an individual, group or a nation, the decision to move forward, get better and good governance first lies on the decision we take and how quick we make them, this to a large extent reflects on the end result.
Whatever success we see anywhere does not just happen, it took conscious effort from somebody or a group of people to make a change borne out of good decision making, right timing and also determination which eventually translate to continuous working process in closets on a regular basis before the results is seen.
We should always remember that the ability to make right decisions coupled with right timing goes a long way in achieving success.

As human beings, we have the ability to think as against animals which acts only based on instinct and feelings. We know the difference between good and bad and also can envisage what the results of our actions could be based on the decisions we take after careful thinking.
As we know, RESPONSIBILITY is the ability to respond to issues. This is based on what decision we make, how fast we make them and the ability or will to follow them through. I hear the sentence “hit the ground running”, this to me simply means meeting a problem with a readymade and instant solution so as to get quick result. But you cannot do this without first taking a decision.
My last essay or discussion was about acquiring information and applying them as usable knowledge, the amount of material or information one is exposed to makes one decide rightly. When we see a successful man, we show him a lot of admiration and respect and in some cases, followership. What we fail to look at most of the time is that the sum total of the decisions he took in his life made him who he is and all we see around him. The drive for change or excellence comes only by determination which is born out of decision to see to a conclusive end issues we are involved.
My point mainly, is to advice that in whatever we do or wherever we find ourselves, we should learn to think and make decisions quickly because this is the only way we can achieve our goals and aspiration. Be it as an individual, group or a nation, the decision to move forward, get better and good governance first lies on the decision we take and how quick we make them, this to a large extent reflects on the end result.
Whatever success we see anywhere does not just happen, it took conscious effort from somebody or a group of people to make a change borne out of good decision making, right timing and also determination which eventually translate to continuous working process in closets on a regular basis before the results is seen.
We should always remember that the ability to make right decisions coupled with right timing goes a long way in achieving success.
