Life and Business Improvement

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about. If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.    If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick. If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating. If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke. If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you. If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed. If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs. If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then you might end up with it. Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and po

There are three steps for successful selling on the internet.   In a “real” store, the ones that people get out of their car and walk into, the rules are clear: they have their wallet, you have the goods. Step 1 and 2 are in sync in a virtual store, there’s always a third step.   You have to make firm but natural transition to your sales pitch. 1.         What are you selling?   What are they buying? Rarely are you asking for cash when they walk through your door.   Getting to the financial transaction is a process with pitfalls. 2.         What are your attractions?   What’s the reason your readers are coming to your site?   It’s easy to delude yourself into thinking they came to give you money. 3.         How do you direct people to your sales pitch?   It’s important that this is designed and not an accident caused by the previous delusion. Lets handle these steps one after the other this way: What are you selling? What are they buying? If you are “Deck Cleaning Services” the whole

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping,  when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.  The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.    Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure    I don't have enough money?'' I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy  the doll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally,  I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.  'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much .  I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my mommy so  that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'  His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God.  Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so  I t

Who is a woman? Is she just another creation of God? What has been their contributions to the development of society? How did women look at themselves? So many questions to so many answers. A woman is a special breed of human creation. She is the multiplier of generation, an architect of development. A woman is many things to different people. It will take volumes of books to describe who a woman is and what she does. It all depends on who is involved, where she or he comes from, ideologies, religious and cultural values. The way Americans look at women is different from the Indians or Africans. So does Christianity, Islam or Hindis. Men are considered to be architects of wealth until recently the society is waking up to the realization that the real engineers of wealth are women . Women replicates, women multiplies, women germinates. This realization made women to take up the challenge of developing products and brands that are geared towards empowering them to achieve more. I recent

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,   'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California . In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren sometime ago, Rick said:   People ask me, What is the purpose of life?   And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.   One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.   I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.     We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make

Services sell unseen products, they sell relationships. For example, a broadcast company sells an unseen product which you cannot carry along but still you have a relationship with the service, the success or failure of the business depends on how that relationship is managed.             Service businesses includes banks, insurance firms, courier services, hair salons, dry cleaning services, shoe repair, business centers etc. For a service business man or woman to succeed, you must know that the manner in which the customer is treated determines if the customer will continue to patronize them.             The strategies to make your service business successfully are: ·          The number one thing to understand and have at the back of your mind is the fact that service businesses come in contact with the customer and the manner he or she is treated will go a long way to establishing if the customer will be a regular customer or not. ·          Since service businesses are about rela

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.  In the middle of the room was a large round table.  In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.  They appeared to be famished.  They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.  But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.' They went to the next room and opened the door.  It was exactly the same as the first one.  There was the large round table wi

Retirement is a must for any human being; whether you are working in the public or private sector, there will come a day that you will retire either because of old age or sickness. You would retire one day whether you like or not, no matter what you do to earn a living. In the game of life, what you know is superior to where you live or what kind of work you do.   In this era, the most sought after and most valued commodity is not precious stones, oil, nor a well paid job with job security, but INFORMATION. There are two classes of people around us. Those that believed it is impossible for a salary earner to retire rich and those who believe it is possible, which class do you belong to? The difference between these two classes of people is what they believed in. What you believe in has a lot to do with what you achieve. If you believe that it is not possible to retire rich, then, don’t waste your time reading this article. What really defeats a man in life is not often times his situ

Why it has been difficult for you to get it and what you can do You can get all the money you need for your business.   Every cent of it. But you need to know where to look for it, what to say to those who will give it to you and how to say it.   Unless you know these things, getting the money you require for your business may be a long-drawn battle that, unfortunately, may become a nightmare.             How did I know?   I know because I am an entrepreneur. And any entrepreneur worth his salt knows that he has only two major battles to fight in business: the battle to raise capital and the battle to sell his products or services.             Of course, there are other battles. But these are the major ones.   Win these two and you can win the rest.   Lose these two and you don’t have a business to call your own.   This is why you have so many would-be entrepreneurs and those who are already in business clamoring for an easier access to start-up and working capital.             If you

Investment in inventory is critical.             Take a hard look at your debt. While it may not be as enjoyable as preparing a shopping list, sit down

A while back, a man had his heart heavy with grief walking in the woods.  As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job. His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on.  His mind turned to the illness he had, that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment, and frustration. Standing there this day, searching for answers  he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak tree to seek the one he knew would always be there.  And with tears in his eyes, he prayed: 'Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life.  You have told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot, I don't know how.  It is not fair Lord, I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done against me a

There is an adage that says the only thing that does not change is change itself. Everything we are seeing or experiencing today has undergone a process of change overtime. In the time past, society demands a woman (especially wives) to be totally dependent on a man (husband) for her survival.   All that has gone into the trash bin. Women are not only advocate of change these days, but major participants of change process. Today’s woman is a leader, mother and a wife. She is a team player, a motivator and a builder. How times has change when they were relegated and confined in the kitchen. In the business world today, women have taken a strategic position in the scheme of things.   Most successful business today are owned and manage by women. How does these women successfully manage their home front and their businesses? They have learned to perform dual roles which men used to performed that makes them super humans.   They have learnt that for them to be respected by the society

The last financial crisis or meltdown experienced across the world, signify to us that anything can happen especially when you are a job seeker (employee) rather than a job provider (employer). With each passing day, more and more people dream of a viable business to contain the high cost of living.             As an employee, it is difficult to make ends meet in most times. Getting paid today and being broke the next day is not healthy for a good life.   How to guard against such a situation is therefore the best bet.   You may wish to start a business, either on part time or full time. You have skills you can develop into a viable business if you can harness it.             I may work ten hours a day, but I still find time to offer my services as a web programmer or as a writer to my clients.   The Internet provide a lot of opportunities these days to work on part time and make real money while still maintaining your full time job.
