To Demonstrate Real Faith in the Creator, You Simply Cannot Use “Safety Nets”!

Some people readily announce – at every opportunity – that they BELIEVE or have FAITH in the Creator. Yet in the way they LIVE, especially privately, in thought and action, they often fail to show it.

What’s more, despite what they profess, these same people, in speaking about their goals, and/or problems they face, they complain about “enemies”, “forces”, “agents” holding their “progress”, “blessings” or even their “destinies”!

How is it possible for a person who truly lives with faith, to be at the perpetual mercy of such evil or ungodly influences?

That just does not add up.

As a result of their above described mental attitudes, many of these people go out of their way to put all sorts of “safety nets” in place, from a just-in-case disposition!

Examples: cutting corners while rationalising that you’re just being realistic; compromising to lower your ethical or moral values/standards in exchange for a concession you seek etc.

Truth is you either believe whole-heartedly (it’s called “blind and unquestioning faith”) or you don’t.

You need no safety nets if you do.

Simply let go and take daily action with confidence based on your faith, to pursue your goals.

This has nothing to do with religion. It is simply a spiritual principle. Every human being is capable of exercising faith and can therefore apply this principle successfully in his/her life!

Like the gentleman whose 2 Facebook post previews and links I share below:

1. Lonnie Robinson story of “being through hell and back” is real and amazing. You need to read it to fully appreciate it.

Lonnie Robinson

My Testimony:

“I do not have the Right—to remain silent!”

The Trophy was given to me by the students at the School of Justice for “enriching their lives!

Every student (800), faculty and staff member has heard my Testimony. They witness me excel in class. I chose to take this picture with this Trophy (over my degree or academic award) because it is inscribed to Mr. Lonnie! And it say’s—you are One in a Million!

You see, this is so heartfelt—because it wasn’t long ago—when I use to “literally” be called—a piece of shit! Thank you Jesus! For miraculously transforming my life, from—Shit to Sugar!

My Testimony;

I’m a 62 year old ‘poor’ black male who has literally been through hell and back—to get to this juncture in my life! I was born raised and still reside in district 5—the most impoverished and crime infested district within the City of Miami Florida. District 5 is an inner-city Ghetto!

2. In this 2nd post, he publishes a definition of FAITH in form of a photo illustration that’s spot on!

Make the World Better by Being Beautiful Inside, Long After Your Outer Beauty Has Faded [Tribute to Muhammad Ali]

“The shoot produced haunting, intimate photos of a champion ravaged by age and Parkinson’s disease, though the spark clearly was still there”

.

The above is what I choose to take away from this Washington Post article titled “Muhammad Ali’s final photo shoot captured a spark that still lingered – The Washington Post“.

The writer himself knew it mattered enough to mention it (I.e the “spark”), not just in the article, but in its title.

The truth is Muhammad Ali remained a fighter long after he’d left the ring. Many lose that spark with age and illness less severe than the one he battled most of the rest of his life after retiring.

Ali defied it – just like he defied attempts to shut him up or put him (or his people) down. That’s why he’ll remain the same beautiful man in the memories of millions the world over.

We all age. It’s inevitable. But only physically.

Ageing does not – indeed cannot – “ravage” our minds, like it can do to our bodies. Which is great because it is that which resides in our minds (I.e our thoughts) that ultimately makes us who we are – or indeed who we become.

This is why I recommend we all work hard to become, and remain ‘beautiful on the inside’, like Muhammad Ali did until he passed on!

If you’re keen to learn how to cost-effectively achieve Long Term World Class Quality Internet Marketing success, you may want to stop what you’re doing and read what follows below about a rare expert, who’s done (and helped others do) it for decades!

This is a short post I’ve written to introduce a Warrior Forum discussion page where knowledgeable Internet Marketing pros responded to an enquirer’s request for guidance on whether or not solutions offered by the Internet Marketing Coach mentioned below, were worth investing in.

I refer to…

[Recommended] A Tried & Tested Six Figure World Class Internet Marketing Success Coach

Terry Dean…

NB: Neither the forum members nor Terry Dean have asked me to do this, or are even aware I’ve done it. in other words I get no rewards for writing this, and only do it, because I want to.
Click here to read the request.

if you’re asking who Terry Dean is, the rest of this post offers details and links to useful resources you can study.

I’ve followed Terry Dean since 2001, my last year in paid employment, when I used to read his reports about making a living online.

Yep.

Like the guys in the Warror Forum noted, he’s been around for quite a while – and is still going strong!

What’s more, the fact that he still continues to command top ratings among those in the upper echelons of Internet Marketing worldwide, proves that he truly knows what it takes.

But what I’ve found most attractive about Mr. Dean over the years is the fact that he always keeps his coaching and business simple.

You won’t catch him using complex SEO jargon or going overboard in use of web based technology. His email newsletters and webpages remain as simple and basic as ever in terms of how they are presented, and what they communicate.

And yet this man is well known in the markets he serves for not only developing systems that earn him millions, but also for helping thousands of clients to do the same.

This is the kind of expert virtually anyone can learn from. You won’t need to be a tech guru to work with him.

This is why I’m linking to the review page below about him, which he probably does not know about!

It is also why I offer you the URL below to view a Google results page with links to learn more about him.

Most importantly I showcase this man because he embodies what I call “Silent Success”.

For instance, the last thing you can associate with him is HYPE – so people looking for quick fixes or free rides in fancy cars may not “like” him. See his Facebook business page here.

If truth be told, most business owners – especially in my part of the world – engaged in learning or practising Internet Marketing, have probably never heard of Terry Dean.

I’ve found that my primary target audience in Africa, due to their different mental attitudes online, need a finetuned adaptation of ideas proven to work in developed societies. That’s what I try to do for those who hire me.

Yet if you move amongst the communities, online and off the web, in which the very best experts in this field interact (e.g the Internet Marketing
Superconference held in USA), you’re certain to discover he’s reverred. Some call him a legend.

I’ll end by saying the least you can do, especially if you’re from my part of the world, is to signup to join Terry’s free email newsletter mailing to tap from some of his experience based wisdom.

What are the things he feels matter the most for Internet Marketing success achievement?

What does he think you should focus your time and energy on?

How does he do his own marketing?

What does he think about many of the wonderful promises being made by a lot of Internet Marketing coaches?

Does he make use of Social Media marketing, and how much does he depend on – or recommend it – for achievement of Internet Marketing success.

Why does he NOT like being called a “Guru”?

You’ll be surprised by what you learn. And you’ll be the wiser for it, I assure you.

I say this based on smart insights I’ve gained from reading and adapting ideas from this man.

Good luck!

Build & Sell Your Own Excel Software: FREE Workshop Introduction to Excel-VB Automation [For ICAN/ATS Tuition Centres and Other Business Users] – Tayo Solagbade’s Excel Heaven Visual Basic Club

Last Wednesday (25th May 2016), I had a 1 hour meeting with the CEO and other team members of an ICAN/ATS tuition centre in Ojodu-Lagos, and they indicated interest in having me facilitate 2 runs of my workshop for their students.

The title is to be: Build & Sell Your Own Excel Software [Introduction to Excel-VB Automation]

They asked about the fees and I explained that the centre simply needs to pay the $65 USD annual membership fee and that will entitle all students enrolled with them to access my online tutorials and workshops FREE (but once a student is no longer enrolled in the centre s/he will not be allowed access and wiil have to join the club by making payment independently, if s/he wishes to continue).

This afternoon I sent them the PDF invoice, since the CEO had told me they would like it to hold in the first 2 or 3 weekends in June.

If/when they pay the club membership, I’ll send invitations to all my existing club members, to attend, if they’re interested.

But you don’t have to be an accountant or a student in an ICAN/ATS Tuition Centre to access my ExcelVB club or workshop

Of course you don’t. And that’s why I’m writing this blog announcement.

The truth is every serious minded user of MS Excel who wishes to maximise his/her productivity NEEDS to learn how to use ExcelVB programming to automate most of what s/he does in MS Excel.

Now, there’s a wrong mindset many business users seem to adopt when they hear me say “MS Excel Programming”.

Quite often they conclude they will need some kind of serious formal IT certification level training as a prerequsite for automating their work in MS Excel.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

You see VIsual Basic for Application is a programming language developed mainly for use by USERS who want to intelligently use automation to boost their output to the next level of productivity.

In essence ExcelVB is a coding language you and I (I.e ANY motivated user) can learn to use to get Excel to do what we want and how we want it.

As with most other things in life, ExcelVB programming cannot be mastered overnight.

But it is fairly intuitive, and with diligent persistence any user can develop proficiency in it, to extent that s/he can build and sell branded, robust custom software for clients at various levels.

How can I be so sure?

Well that’s because I’ve been building commercial quality spreadsheet software for over 2 decades for business users in various fields, and industries.

I did it for over 5 of the 7 years I worked in Guinness Nigeria, where at a point I learned through the corporate grapevine that I was being called “Super Brewer” by colleagues.

This was probably due to the fact that they knew:

1. the apps I developed were formally adopted for brewery level reporting, having replaced manual reporting systems in the departments I worked.

2. I did all that work in my spare time, when I was off duty from shifts or after close of work (after I got promoted to 9 to 5 senior positions)

3. I did not have any IT training or background in programming or software development. All I hold till this day is a 2nd Class Upper Division Honours B.Sc degree in Agricultural Extension Services

As you can see from the above, I began just like any other person who knew nothing about IT, but had a data handling and report generating PROBLEM that badly needed solving!

If I could develop myself through self-study to the point that I now sell my apps to international buyers, then so can you.

And that’s why I launched my ExcelVB club and offer membership to you, including free weekly tutorials (downloadable videos/PDFs) and monthly LIVE workshops.

Interested? Click here to send me a message?

If you run a tuition centre, do your students a favour and signup your centre so they can all get FREE access.

Indeed you will be able to attract more student enrollments by informing them that they’ll gain FREE access to the club tutorial through your centre!

Become a SUPER Accountant, Engineer, Marketer, Insurance Broker or Spreadsheet Business User: FREE Workshop Introduction to Excel-VB Automation – Tayo Solagbade’s Excel Heaven Visual Basic Club

Do you routinely use MS Excel spreadsheets to get your work done, but sometimes wish you could do so FASTER, with LESS effort and in LESS time?

If YES, what I have tell you below has to do with an opportunity that can change your life forever – and I mean that literally!

Over the past 13 years, I have worked closely with seasoned Chartered Accountants/Auditors especially and in some cases Quantity Surveyors, to develop applications for their companies using MS Excel.

What I noticed was that many of these professionals were good with MS Excel, but they lacked my ability to program Excel

I believe that by helping these kinds of professionals learn to program MS Excel for their purposes, they will spawn a new brred of skilled professionals that will expand the market I have created for spreadsheet solutions out here.

Are you an Accountant/Auditor, Engineer/Quantity Surveyor, Marketer or Insurance Broker, who uses MS Excel spreadsheets for routine data handling and report generation?

Or let me ask: Does your work require you to carry out elaborate data collection and analysis for formal report generation purposes.

Do you routinely use MS Excel spreadsheets to get your work done, but sometimes wish you could do so FASTER, with LESS effort and in LESS time?

Your spreadsheet needs to be laid out according to certain rules, to make preparation of reports and subsequent automation effective and efficient. There are so many powerful ways to setup/use spreadsheets to make your work easier – even without VBA code driven automation.

If you belong to any of the groups I have described above, you are very likely to be at least an average or intermediate level user of MS Excel.

Indeed it is possible you are widely considered an “expert” by those you work or relate with, because very often, you solve other people’s problems using your spreadsheet skills.

That’s why my offer of personal, confidential coaching in MS Excel Automation using Visual Basic is likely to be a NATURAL progression to the NEXT HIGHER level of competence that will appeal to you.

Believe me when I tell you that what I can TEACH you to do with MS Excel is nothing like anything you may have done in the area of using MS Excel, or indeed in automating it.

GET STARTED: Fill and submit this form on my website to request details of how to get started

Remember that acquiring this new competence can effectively help you earn more recognition, respect and INCOME from others.

With my help that seeming dream become a reailty for you, IF you let me help you.
