Friend: last time we met, you told me your wife works in a manufacturing company
Man: oh yes!!!, she's the CEO
Friend: what do they manufacture
Man: chuckles! They manufacture excuses

In this fast changing world, little are those who want to climb the ladder of success, everyone is thinking of an elevator....the irony is that you still gotta get yourself into the elevator,with the hope that its gonna lift you.....you've got to punch the button of success anyways by daily doing that which will earn you success, until then your lift to success might be slow

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence
of things not seen”
Holy Bible
One thing I’ve always realized is that your
faith is the most important element in your endeavor, maybe that’s what
Napoleon Hill meant when he said “every successful person finds that great
success lays just the point when they are convinced their idea is not going to
work”. Sometimes you have to stick your nose and even your head into strenuous
situations before you can get it out. You might need to suck it up when you
can’t…I know how it is, trust me.
You sure can succeed if you won’t give up, hold on to your
faith. I try to live up to a saying that “don’t give up until your life is up”.
You might actually not see a sense in this saying, maybe because there isn’t
any yet, until you give one to it.
We’ve all heard so many sayings “life isn’t
fair, life isn’t that…and that”, but how about life isn’t funny. Everybody has
a meaning to life, its dependent on your perspective of it. But most times life
is just giving you a test, to actually see if you are really determined to
succeed, to see your dreams turned into realities. It just wants to really give
you a meaning to your purpose, your dreams.
If you are thinking of starting a new
business, there is a probability that you would encounter some constraints: be
it capital or another. It is easier to shove in and give up; it happened to me,
I really can relate to it. It’s not the disappointment that matter, it what
really happen within you that matter, because you really can’t expand on the
outside until something really bid happens on the inside. There is a poem that
written by Howard Goodman, it is called “I don’t regret a mile”. Some part says:
I’ve dreamed many dream that’s never come
true,
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,
But enough of my dreams have come
true
To make me keep dreaming on
I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed
no answer would come,
Though I’d waited so patient and long;
But enough answers have come to my
prayers
To make me keep praying on
I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen
by the wayside,
For birds to feed upon
But I’ve held enough golden sheaves
in my hands
To make me keep sowing on
I’ve trusted many a friend that
failed me
And left me to weep alone
But enough of my friends have been
true blue
To make me keep trusting on
I’ve drained the cup of
disappointment and pain
And gone many a day without a song
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from roses
of life
To make me want to live on
It’s your
focus that really matter, where and what you focus on. That’s why it’s
advisable not to use your cell phone while driving, because it could alter your
focus.
I blogged about eliminating your fears(you could read again) , you must know that if you must do that, you must have
something you firmly believe in, you’ve got to hold on to something. The
question is what are you holding on to? What’s your conviction? I love what
Napoleon Hills wrote in his book “the power of positive thinking”
if you think you are beaten you are.
if you think you dare not you don’t.
if you like to win but you think you can’t.
it is almost certain you won’t.
if you think you’ll lose, you are
lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will-
It’s all in the state of the mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you
are
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
before
You can ever win a prize
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
The truth is life ends up giving us what we
demand from it, be it success or failure. It might not look like it, but I urge
you don’t give up, constantly affirm this to yourself “I won’t give up, until
my life is up”. You might say then what happens next, I really don’t know, yes
I don’t, because you are the captain of your faith, you are the one who
determines what happens to you.
Peter Lowe, the success expert, who has worked
with hundreds of people of top professions, says “the most common trait I have
found in all successful people is that they have conquered the temptation to
give up”. “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career”, Michael Jordan
once said “I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to
take the game-winning shot, missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again.
And that is why I succeed”.
If you are going to succeed in business and
in life, you must have the confidence that you will succeed no matter the hand
you are dealt. As far as you are concerned, failure is not an option, hold on
to your faith
“Many
of life’s failure are people who did not realize how close they were to success
when they gave up”

How often have you heard, “Business is slow. The economy makes it hard to generate revenue. There’s too much competition.”
Comments like these are made each and
every day. And yet, there are those who will tell you it has never been
easier to build a successful business than today.
So what’s the distinction? Perception, focus and visibility. Yes...Visibility!
The easiest way to build your business
is to build your visibility. It makes little difference what industry
you are in – visibility reigns.
Those who are making a living are
always on the lookout for how to increase their visibility. The more
visibility you have that builds market recognition, the more your
credibility as an expert in your field increases.
Here’s a simple fact: Visibility
creates ample opportunities. Because of the internet there are now
countless ways gain massive visibility. The more visible you are, the
more opportunities seem to come out of the woodwork.
