Dream big and go crazy with your dream until it becomes a reality
I have seen that everyone, including myself want to be rich. But we are not willing to be rich. Yes we are not. I know you might be confused but the truth of the matter is our actions speaks louder than our words. You want to be rich yet you want to sleep all the time. You want to be rich yet you want to keep the mentality of a poor man. You want to be rich yet you do not have a dream. You want to be rich yet you don’t want to go out there and do something that will make you rich, you are afraid of what…

The poor man’s life cycle
When i was young someone told me that, once a poor man always a poor man. I did not understand because there are many people who were poor when they grew up and are now rich. So to some point i did not agree with him but as a little boy i couldn’t argue with him. As i grew up i got involved in business and i started dealing people, meeting with rich business people and sharing stories with rich and poor old people and what i am sharing with you in this article is what i found out, which i now call the “THE POOR MAN’S LIFE CYCLE”, and…

Passion counts when it gets tough!!!
As a business man or woman you will come across times when things are tough, and you will be tempted to quit. Negative voices will be telling you to quit but one thing i have understood all these years i have been in business is that if you have passion and you believe in what you are doing then nothing will pull you down. Even if no client comes along you will still wake up in the morning and go to work because you are passionate about what you are doing. Don’t expect negative voices to come from your enemies, no no, they come from your close friends and family.…

Passion counts when it gets tough!!! ….Continuation
Yesterday i wrote about passion in business, why its very important to be passionate about what you are doing. This helps you when things gets tough. This reminds me of Steve Jobs after he got fired from apple, a company he founded. This was a very tough moment in Steve’s life, all his sweat and handwork was gone. Steve Jobs went on to found NeXT, a computer platform development company for the higher ed and business markets. He did not sit around and complain but he took a bold step and started another company. He was passionate about what he does so he moved on and continued doing his best.…

How much do you value your business
They always say action speaks louder than words. That is really true. Some people are in business but they value things that take money away from their business than those that bring money into their business, Of-cause some of you might not agree with me on this one but i have observed this with many business people that i meet. I remember one day i had a meeting with a friend of my brother. He run a small laundry business. He has great potential to grow his business and make a lot of money. I like his idea because many people do not like washing their clothes because they are…

Be good at what you do
As i was in the Electronic Communication lecture, the lecturer said something that motivated me to work more harder. He was explaining why many people fail his course, because they don’t practice and they don’t go any extra mile to win, so he gave an example of Christiano Ronaldo. We all know he is a great player, a very very good one and he also knows that he is good but if you closely in his life he spends most of his time in the soccer field practicing, yet he is already good and everyone loves watching him play. The same applies to us, if we want to be good…

I couldn’t understand how they do it. So i took my time to look at them closely and i found something that i would like to share with you today in this post. If you look at a lion, yes it is the king of the jungle but it doesn’t keep quiet, it roars all the time. The same applies to companies like nike, they are always making some noise and their marketing team is always at…

Tough decisions are needed in business
Success in business requires you to be firm and make tough decisions. You are going to come across times when your friends wants you to offer them service for free but just imagine if pickandpay would allow friends of the owner of pickandpay to just come and get food without paying and go away. Do you think pickandpay would be as successful and big as it is. It wouldn’t so the same applies to your business, your friends and relatives needs to understand that you are running a business and they have to pay for services offered to them or they have to pay for something they are buying from…

A poor old friend of mine AND A rich old friend of mine
Amongst my rich and poor friends i have noticed something that i would like to share with you today. Some of my friends grew up poor and they got rich at some point in their life and now they are old and they are poor again. In addition some have healthy problems and have no money to take care of themselves. With old age, healthy problems are common. On the other hand i see my rich friends who also grew up poor and became rich at some point in their life time and are still rich and can take care of their healthy. They have the money to spend on…

Live your dream at University
Its easier to start a business when you are at university, when you do not stress about rent or money because your parents are giving you or your bursary is paying for everything. This is the time your business partner is staying close to you and you can spend the whole night working on your business. Once you are done with university it is not going to be easy to start your dream business, because pressure of having money to pay rent is too much and everyone else is expecting you to get a job and once you start working, then everything changes. I have talked to many old people…
