[Text Transcript Excerpts from Tayo Solagbade’s MP3 Podcast] Achieving Financial Freedom – Why What You Learnt In School May NOT Be Enough…& What You Need to LEARN

=== Starts===

“…How many teachers do you know that are millionaires? This is something I ask my kids all the time. I am not wasting any time at all. I’m taking my kids through this.

I’m not going to let them go through the pains of self-discovery that I had to go through, because of the wrong exposure to schooling that I had. Schooling that was not going to prepare me for life outside salaried employment.

And the truth of the matter is that salaried employment does not last for life.

You will eventually have to retire, or you get kicked out. And when that happens, then you have to earn income, because the money you get, whether it is a 401k, pension fund or whatever they call it, will rarely be enough to take you through the rest of your life, till you pass on.

So then it means you have to begin, after doing a job, maybe after getting to the age of 65, and then getting kicked out, resigning or retiring, you then begin to look for ways to earn income outside of paid employment.

It can be quite difficult to do that in a consistent way that enables you to maintain the lifestyle that you’re used to, when you had a job.

So, the thing is school does not teach you how to do that, and that’s a problem. I have a big problem with schools….”

A Tried & Tested Strategy For Achieving Financial Freedom (Hint: Get My Audio DVD Information Product titled “Proven Ways to Generate Useful Passive Income”)

I recently shared a quote by Robert Kiyosaki on Facebook, stating – in part – that his Rich Dad often said “If going to school made you rich, then schoolteachers would be millionaires‘”. A friend – Ernest – later posted this question: “What is the way forward towards earning financial freedom? I don dey tire oooo“(see screen shot below).

Now, you could argue that my friend meant it as a joke, and that would be true. However, the truth is that MANY adults today actually WANT to know the answer to THAT question!!

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – Resist the Seduction of Mediocrity

“‘Safety first’ has been the motto of the human race…but it has never been the motto of leaders. A leader must face danger. He must take the risk and the blame and the brunt of the storm” – Herbert Casson

In your personal or work life, a willingness to stand out/be different, and to venture outside your comfort zone, will determine how successful you become. My study of the lives of many successful people in different fields, and across various cultures, convince me exceptional achievers do NOT get there by habitually avoiding criticisms, challenges, risks, or mistakes!

The very act of pursuing success requires stretching one’s self BEYOND what one has been used to doing previously.

No matter how many times you may have won or succeeded, you will often have to dig deeper to win at higher levels, if you want to keep improving.

As an expert in your chosen field of interest or specialization, it’s likely you have colleagues who boast superior competencies to yours at what you do.

You most likely consider them “rivals”, against whom you must put up your best efforts, if you expect to be noticed by the mutual target audience you offer solutions to.

In such a case, your success will depend on your ability to set yourself apart from such rivals in a way that makes decision makers PREFER to hire YOU!

Sometimes that could mean packaging, promoting and presenting yourself in as many new and/or unconventional ways as possible, compared to others.

Richard Branson is an excellent model of what is possible in this regard…

He has made a success of getting valuable media exposure for his businesses by being willing to:

A. boldly conceive and fearlessly implement unusual – often contrarian – business ideas to address an unmet consumer need in a pocket friendly manner.

B. creatively employ potentially risky publicity stunts of ALL kinds to attract useful attention to his unconventional ventures.

C. courageously pick himself up anytime his ideas did not work as planned, and use whatever lessons could be had from the experience, to go back and try again – or start a new venture.

When I say the above, I do so based on deep insights I’ve gained from working VERY closely with CEOs face to face, and via the web, within and outside Africa, for well over a decade.

You see, I’ve learnt that many “conventional” business owners are too concerned about how they “look” to take actions that can benefit their businesses like Branson does.

Things are changing, but even today there are many CEOs I know who would NOT go out without being in a suit and tie. And I always wonder about that, given the fact that NONE of them is even half as successful in business as Richard Branson!

For him, going tie-less is more the norm than the exception, and that’s often how he meets with others who tend to come seriously suited up.

Years ago, I resolved to emulate Branson as much as possible in the ways I go about my own business affairs.

That’s why almost NOTHING is sacrosanct in terms of what I feature in the promotional materials I create to get noticed by my target audience.

This is why, for instance, I have publications like my 10 Storyfied Yoruba Proverbs Audio Book, which teaches basic usage of 10 popular Yoruba language proverbs. It is also why my latest book is based on a Christian-religion themed play titled “Defeating the Devil Inside” – despite the fact that I am NOT religious.

The above publications contrast sharply with conventional books in my online store, on self-development, public speaking, parenting, farm business best practice etc.

You don’t have to agree with my approach. For me however, the reach and impact I achieve makes it worthwhile.

Often, whenever I’ve gone the unconventional route in this manner, I’ve noticed a spike in the attention I get from certain quarters. Sometimes that leads to mentions, or inquiries that would otherwise not have come.

And a few have resulted in sales of my more conventional products!

Most important however, is the fact that my adopted strategy enables me remain perpetually unique in terms of how I position myself. The unconventional content creation strategy I use makes it easy for my target audience to identify and talk about me to others.

In other words, I’m hard to mix up with ANYONE else, who provides ANY of the solutions I offer.

Here’s another example: My use of the title “Location Independent Multipreneur” used to cause more than a few eyebrows to be raised when I began using it, after relocating to Benin Republic in 2013.

The result was that people got curious enough to Google for more information about me, and they also closely scrutinized the solutions I “claimed” to offer.

A few went further to “test” me by reaching out via phone/email, and later making “small purchases”, to check (some actually asked me!) if I claimed to be “Location Independent” so as to avoid being tracked down by unsatisfied buyers for instance!

After establishing that I was for real, and could be trusted, they felt safe enough to start talking seriously to others about me. As a result, I find myself getting periodic referrals!

All of the above happens, with payments being sent to me from within and outside Africa by total strangers.

In other words, people who have NEVER met with, or heard about me.

I mean, people who ask me where my office is and get told, by ME, that I have NEVER used an office since 2002!

Those same people feel CONVINCED enough to take the leap of faith to send payment to me, for a product I promise to send them in return!

In other words, my willingness to be BOLDY contrarian is paying off for me.

Way back in 2003, when I first began describing myself as a Multipreneur…it earned me LOTS of criticism.

At a point, I lost count of those who started discussing what I could do for them, but refused to continue when I revealed other solutions I claimed to be able to provide.

Many pointedly told me I was doing “too many things”, and that it meant I was NOT good enough at EACH one, to merit getting hired by them.

It might interest you to know that ALL the solutions I claimed I could competently provide back then, are the EXACT same things I AM doing today i.e. Performance Improvement Speaking Services, Custom Excel-VB Software Development, Freelance Writing, Web Marketing Systems Development etc.

But when I began, no one believed me.

My claims went against conventional wisdom – and some “wise” veterans went out of their way to advise me to choose “one” and drop the others. That all I claimed I could do, was too much for ONE person to do.

I gave serious thought to what they said, but every single time my INTUITION told me to keep doing what I was doing – and to PROVE myself to anyone who gave me even half a chance.

So I kept presenting myself that way. Eventually, some people began to nibble at my bait.

They were willing to look beyond their bias to grudgingly hire me (I think those who chose not to, felt intimidated that I could multitask so productively, when they could not).

Thankfully, on the few occasions I got hired, I did so well (and even went the extra mile), that some even hired me in the other areas I offered solutions! The story remains the same today, as I continue to UP SELL my growing library of other solutions to new clients/buyers.

For instance, last week, I won several new buyers of my Excel-VB Income and Expense Manager. Among them was a Farm CEO who only 2 weeks earlier had purchased a promo offer of my Poultry Farm Manager, Ration Formulator and Feed Formulation Handbook.

See how taking the risk of insisting that I’m a multipreneur helps me earn much more than I normally would??

What I’ve said here does NOT cover all that is possible with regard to the mental attitude I’m advocating YOU adopt…

However, I believe it’s enough to point you in the right direction, especially if you truly want to achieve exceptional success at what you do.

Simply put, you cannot keep doing the same thing others are doing, and expect to get different results from theirs.

The title of this piece challenges you to RESIST the SEDUCTION of mediocrity, because in my experience, that’s really what holds most people back.

When you try doing something new, daring, untested, and unproven…or something simply different, that’s likely to attract criticism from others around you.

This is the reason most of us prefer to avoid taking risks in our personal and/or work lives.

Instead we stick to doing what we know – based on pass successes – will work, and refuse to deviate, even though we may SENSE doing so could lead to new discoveries and/or levels of achievement.

When a person gives in to the above described fear based need, s/he will effectively be taking refuge in mediocrity.

Now, what makes it so easy for many to fall into this potentially harmful psychological state is that majority of people in society live the same way. As a result, they may not easily find someone to give them the truthful feedback they need to get out of the rut.

The truth is however that those who become champions at what they do – including the business of public speaking – are people who NEVER give in to the seduction of mediocrity.

They KNOW that there is superior benefit to be had in constantly challenging themselves to do MORE and try HARDER, to achieve greater outcomes.

If you want to live a fulfilling life, let the above thoughts guide your actions. Start resisting the seduction of mediocrity in ANY area of your life from today!

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from

him?

Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an

expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls

them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.

It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in

proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.

A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled “The Most Effective Articles Ever – By The World’s Top Marketers“. That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world’s top marketers – including Jack

Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.

That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!

Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.

But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings,

and from directly relating with him.

Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world

you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!

That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.

If you need help putting the ideas shared above to use, let me know HERE.

in.

Get a Custom “WMS” to Attract Profitable Customers at Zero Cost for Your Business (Time Limited Offer)

August 29, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

[NB: “WMS” means “Web Marketing System”]

This offer is meant – primarily – for ALL my past buyers/clients. In other words you have purchased a product or service from me, sometime in the past.

NB: If you’re not yet a client, and wish to benefit from this offer, see the notes at the bottom of the page.

For those who are my clients, my custom WMS was what helped YOU find, and eventually contact me, without my placing a single advert or reaching out to you before then!

That’s how a WMS works: And it continues working that way for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week…even on public holidays, AND while you sleep.

Setup and used properly, for the right length of time, your WMS can help you cut down the time, effort and money it costs you to “attract” potentially PROFITABLE buyers.

As I conceived it, a WMS has 9 key components.

You can view a one page mind map I created to explain it at the link below:

http://tayosolagbade.com/uploads/wms-mindmap-writers.pdf

Based on the mind map, the following 4 are the minimum components of a WMS that I always recommend and/or build for use by my clients in ANY industry…

1. A branded Joomla! website integrated with Facebook/Twitter – containing response generating content written specifically for your business & RSS feed autopublishing content from your blog (see one example of mine at www.tayosolagbade.com)

2. A branded WordPress blog integrated with Facebook/Twitter – with business marketing articles targeted to generate pre-qualified leads (see 2 examples of mine at www.tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets and www.excelheaven.tayosolagbade.com)

3. A branded Facebook biz page & a Twitter page – with RSS feed auto-publishing content from your blog (see example of my Facebook page here and my Twitter page here)

4. A branded Automated Email Newsletter – to inform and educate potential buyers/clients/subscribers till they take action to buy from you (see a past issue HERE)

Most clients that have hired me (withing and outside Africa) already had websites when they discovered me.

So, this is NOT about building a website for you. Indeed, I do that FREE for my clients, IF they ask me for it! Interestingly, many who have hired me (over 80%) already had websites online when they did.

Most of my clients engaged me to make their online presence more EFFECTIVE (via development of a custom WMS) so it could generate TANGIBLE returns on their investment in the use of the web for business marketing.

The basic rules for success with what I call an “Effective Online Presence” (aka Web Marketing System) remain the same across industries…

Basically, to be worth the investment you make in it, your online presence should generate sales leads so you can close more sales/make more money – and also save you money by reducing your need to spend in order to generate such leads.

YOU found this website, and have read up till this point. Believe it or now, that means you have experienced the power of a WMS, in terms of how it subtly “entices” persons who fit the owner’s target audience profile to explore information and/or solutions s/he offers!

I can help you setup a WMS customized to help you attract pre-qualified prospects or potential buyers, like I do. And if you apply yourself diligently, you will get results similar to or better than mine.

SPECIAL OFFER: Purchase my custom WMS promo offer and get MY 3 MONTH RETAINERSHIP SERVICE FREE

Valuable Parenting Lesson from Doughnuts History (Hint: True story that proves it pays to let our kids use their creativity in helping us out)

August 28, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

We love eating doughnuts: they are delicious! But how many of us know that the first doughnuts (made “waaaay” back in the mid 1800s) NEVER had holes in them…and that they ended up not cooking thoroughly, and were NOT so tasty, as a result??

Do YOU know why doughnuts have holes in them? If no, this article will interest you – not just because it gives THE answer to that question, but also because the story behind it offers a parenting lesson you may find useful.

Image credit: Wired

History credits a teenage boy – Hanson Crockett Gregory – with “inventing” the hole we associate with doughnuts today, back in 1847.

Below is a short version of the story from an old newspaper clipping I cut out over a decade ago [It ends with a URL to a more detailed online source that confirms the story.]

****STARTS****

Why does a Doughnut Have a Hole?

The dougnut didn’t always have a hole. These round, flat, fried cakes were once filled with soggy centers.

Then, in 1847, a 15 year old boy – Hanson Crockett Gregory – was in the kitchen watching his mother make these fried cakes. Hanson took some of the uncooked cakes and poked out the centers with a fork.

When they were friend, they were delicious for the hole let the dough cook more thoroughly.

Today, doughnut makers use special machines that punch the centers.

And the house where Hanson was born now bears a plaque commemorating the day that a boy invented a hole.

****ENDS*****

Click to learn more about the doughnut history, as it relates to Hanson Crockett Gregory’s contribution .

How do you relate with your kids when they come around you as you carry out your tasks?

In Gregory’s case, he was “watching” his mother make the cakes in the kitchen.

But many parents in this part of the world, do not not really think to let their kids come around so much. Indeed in some homes, where parents have the means, the domestic servants do virtually everything, so that the children in the home end up not having to be involved at all, in doing stuff!

Based on my personal experiences as a parent, I argue that letting your kids get involved as much as possibel can do wonders for their self-awareneds and confidnce.

That is in addition to periodic benefits to YOU, when they may come up with, or stumble on creative improvements you may find useful to adopt.

For instance, I once taught my kids to bake my no-oven, charcoal stove baked cakes in September 2013, when I came down from Cotonou to see them in Lagos.

Today, they’ve come up with several creative modifications to the procedure I taught them, that has led to a much better product that what I began with.

The same thing has happened with their mother, as they have helped her in the home.

If you don’t already do it, Hanson Crockett Gregory’s story should inspire you to let your child get more involved in doing what you do

At least at a level where s/he can cause minimal permanent damage if anythign goes wrong.

The benefits to be had, are multiple, for the child, and you…and judging from Hanson Crockett Gregory’s example, even the larger society as well!

Yes. I mean your workplace. Every now and then in paid employment, workers find themselves having to bring their kids to the workplace, due to peculiar circumstances.

In most cases there wil be a need to try keeping the child from making a mess or creating a disturbance.

Experience Sharing Boosts Coaching Success

August 27, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Experience sharing is a powerful way to coach and influence. And it works quite well for people of all ages. I know this from years of using it successfully, both in and out of paid employment.

You most likely have had many experiences that would interest, entertain and at the same time educate your child, and other people around you – even adults.

However, if you do not offer to share them, people who can benefit will never know you offer such useful wisdom, and insights.

The world will be a better place if more of us deliberately tap into our wealth of past experiences, especially way back to our childhood years, to coach others.

The growing up period and process can be very confusing from most children.

Hearing stories from established adults about how they also struggled to find meaning, and eventually take their places/make their marks in the world, can be both encouraging, and inspiring to kids, and young people.

I believe we do not currently do enough “Experience Sharing”…

Through my parenting articles and books, as well as my Personal Success Achievement Coaching for Kids (PACK)™ program, I intend to do my bit.

Indeed, I’ve since begun doing it with my kids as the first coachees.

In the past, I’d done it informally. But in observing my kids, I recalled reading that Andrew Carnegie said teaching kids success principles (like those discussed in Hill’s “Think & Grow Rich”), can help them emerge better prepared to excel in life.

And that’s what made me decide to do it formally.

[Fill and submit this form, if you want me to send you details of how I can help you with my confidential Spontaneous Coaching™ support service.]

You’re reading THIS because I’ve resolved to embrace my God-given gift for helping people in this manner.

Testimonials from those I’ve helped in the past (some reproduced below) previously used to strike me as rather exaggerated.

“…I really miss you sir, your words of encouragement, your pressures, your drive, your humor and everything about you. But in consolation, I try so hard to follow your footsteps, which I have been doing little by little, and I am sometimes amazed at the things I do…I look up to you, and really desire to someday dedicate a major success in my life to you, for the little while I spent with you has been a turning point in my life. I will always be grateful to you. “ – Obadiaru, Osawemwenze (2002 email excerpt. Served one year Internship when Tayo was Training & Technical Development Manager in Guinness Nigeria, Benin).

“…Through you I knew the difference between Schooling and Education and it’s also through you that I knew that mathematics as a subject can be answered in many ways. I am very grateful.” – Ifeanyi Okeke, SS3 Student, Volunteer Corps (VC) Tutoring Project: Handwritten comment in memoirs section of VC Year Book published in 2003.

“…you made me understand what the world speaks.” – Adepoju Samson, SS3 Student, Volunteer Corps (VC) Tutoring Project: Handwritten comment in 2013 VC Year Book.

“Mr Tayo Solagbade…he has educated me so that he had touched that thing in me that motivates me.” – , SS3 Student VC Tutoring Project: Handwritten comment in 2013 VC Year Book.

“The speaker, Mr Solagbade, is an authority in his field. (He is) an achiever who is able to carry his audience along with him in his message/speech” – Baker A.T, Confidential Secretary, Centre for Management Development(CMD), Lagos.

“There’s a lot more to learn (experience wise) from the speaker(Tayo Solagbade)…Honestly, he gave so much within a short time. I learnt a lot without writing much. It’s amazing!” – Management Trainee, Tantalisers (Fast Foods Restaurant), Festac Headquarters, Lagos. [Handwritten comment on speaker feedback form]

“The training was a new dimension to the act of personal effectiveness, was less of theory but of tested and proven principles. Keep it up!“- Oluwakemi, Management Trainee, Tantalisers (Fast Foods Restaurant), Festac Headquarters, Lagos.

“This is an academy that will go a long way in helping to develop the youths of this country. Keep up the good work.” – Alake Oluwayemisi, Management Trainee, Tantalisers

“(Tayo) is a very good speaker who was able to communicate his (ideas) effectively without boring me and wasting no time. Within the short time he spent, he gave loaded and relevant information/(ideas) which were superb.” – Management Trainee, Tantalizers.

“The presenter was superb. He dealt with the topic extensively, citing real life experiences that (were) personal to him.” – Management Trainee, Tantalisers.

“The facilitator (Tayo Solagbade) has done so well, and he has made me to feel that the sky is not my limit but the start, if I can apply all the personal effectiveness principles appropriately.” – Onifade Olajide, – Management Trainee, Tantalisers.

In truth, when I got most of the above outline testimonials, I often felt I’d done nothing special.

Back then I wondered why they had to make all the fuss, thanking me in person and sending emails to say even more.

As the years passed however, and I saw the difference my impact made in the lives of people I coached informally, their feedback began to make more sense to me.

Today, I want to help as many other young (and even those not so young!) people willing to walk what today is the least traveled – but surest – path to authentic success achievement in life!

The achievements I’ve recorded in life, since the troubled early years of my youth are based on corrective guidance received from my parents and other well meaning adults while I was growing up.

I built on the hard lessons of my past, and applied the principles and philosophies I learnt by studying books like Think & Grow Rich.

Those actions led me to subsequently record successes in virtually every area of endeavor I’ve ventured since then – with support from the Creator.

And every step of the way, my resolve to continue being a source of pride to my parents has never wavered.

My vision is to inspire others to adopt a similar mental attitude, so they can make the most of themselves, in a manner that causes their parents and the larger society to be proud of them.

That’s why I’m formally launching my confidential Spontaneous Coaching™ support service.

No. 207: No Substitute for Hard Work If You Want Success

Don’t fool yourself. Authentic long-lasting success in ANY field won’t come quickly or easily. It will take time and HARD WORK. Thinking otherwise can make you end up a frustrated failure!

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – No Substitute for Hard Work If You Want Success

Don’t fool yourself. Authentic long-lasting success in ANY field won’t come quickly or easily. It will take time and HARD WORK. Thinking otherwise can make you end up a frustrated failure!

Below, I explain why hard work, when avoided in pursuing success, will often lead to success with a short shelf-life.

Thomas Edison once said: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”

For me, there are 2 perspectives from which Edison’s words can be viewed:

1. On the physical plane, when we engage in physically demanding tasks, sweating often results.

2. However one can also perspire psychologically e.g. in doing the serious thinking required to solve problems or create solutions. This latter aspect is more relevant to what Edison was saying, since he was an inventor – and not a labourer

NB: Forgive me if I just stated the obvious in the last paragraph, but I just wanted to make sure.

Now, you have to admit the truth in the above quote, when you consider that the man who uttered those words had only 3 months of formal schooling. That was due to teachers saying he lacked the intellectual capacity to learn effectively.

They called him “addled”. His furious mother on hearing this pulled him out of school, and vowed to teach him at home.

Edison went on to become a renowned inventor by dint of hard work.

At a point he held over 1,000 different patents for inventions he either improved, or conceived entirely by himself!

Yet if you think about it, what he achieved was extraordinary, considering that he had NOTHING in the way of formal scientific training/education to draw on.

His life story reveals that all he did was diligently and persistently CONTINUE DOING what he was doing, despite countless failures – until he made it.

Edison was NO stranger to hard work. But he gained even more fame for his demonstrated attitude to failures that resulted from most of the hard work he did.

There is the well known story of how it took him about 10,000 attempts to refine the light bulb, by testing different metals.

Before discovering the tungsten filament that eventually, worked at the 10,000th attempt, he was asked about the 9,999 failed attempts he had made.

His response provides powerful insights into the way a person who wishes to succeed in spite of failures MUST think:

‘I have not failed. I have just found 9,999 ways that do not work’. – Thomas Edison

What most people who know about Edison’s success often miss…

I’ve studied success and failure a lot, by reading the life stories of successful people like Edison. I needed this especially during the years I struggled to find success as an entrepreneur.

The insights I gained made tell that most people fail to realize Edison, for instance, did not do all those 9,999 tests on different metals in one evening.

Most of us do not think about the fact that every time another metal failed the test, his financial backers must have been wondering if they were wasting their time and money on him.

Few of us stop to wonder, how Edison must have summoned courage to keep trying despite the thousands of failures he kept recording.

And oh, how many of us ever wondered how he faced naysayers that must have existed in his time, each time he failed??

The above is why I think it’s crucially important to ALWAYS try visualizing the CONTEXT in which failure happened for successful people – by diligently studying them.

That will enable us better appreciate the big picture of the experiences they had.

The understanding we gain will equip us to better handle the need to work hard at our goals, and to KEEP doing so, regardless of the failures we encounter (making intelligent changes of course, based on feedback we get).

I’ve used the example of Edison deliberately, because he achieved phenomenal success despite the potential handicap of a lack of formal education.

It’s no surprise that he said “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”!

As a keen student of authentic long-lasting success achievement, I LIVE the stuff I’m sharing with you.

Based on my experiences and achievements, I want to let you in on one little known secret.

When you develop the HABIT of working hard at what you love doing, you get to a point where you can do it virtually effortlessly. Once there, it stops being work for YOU, but continues LOOKING like HARD WORK to those who observe you!

That’s what Edison achieved.

His focus on getting the results he wanted made him diligently form the habit of working hard at it until it came so naturally that he could do it (regardless of the outcome), without losing interest or passion for it.

The above is why I’m able to churn out a 1,500 word article in 30 to 45 minutes, and publish it on my blog every day

I’ve been doing this for YEARS.

Sometimes I draft 2 or 3 more, ready for the days that follow, then later tweak and auto-schedule them to go out on consecutive days.

Many times I’ve been asked “How do you do it?”…sometimes by some clients I ghost-write articles for. They ask because it tends to take them much longer, days even, to finish even ONE write-up that they feel confident enough to put out for others to read.

I tell them I’ve been doing this for over 2 decades, and NEVER gotten bored or tired. If anything, I get a HUGE RUSH, each time my fingers are on the keyboard. The words just FLOW through my fingertips!

In reality I’m able to do so because for YEARS I’ve diligently applied myself to writing even when I did NOT feel like doing it.

My wife and kids will tell you how (when I was still based in Lagos) I used to type 1,000 to 2,000 word articles right into midnight on my Blackberry, when we had no power(and no fuel for the generator).

This was often when I needed to ensure I got my artice for the day out, even though I had no electricity, and had just returned from working on a client’s premises hours away from home.

I would sit outside in the darkness, typing on the smart phone’s tiny keyboard, and then navigate on its browser to post the article on this blog.

Sometimes I would be so TIRED and would repeatedly catch myself dosing off as I waited for the Blackberry to load the browser or display confirmation that the post was published. If that did NOT happen, I would keep at it, until it did.

My commitment to getting it done was fanatical: failure was simply NOT an option!

[Note that I do the above, even while handling multiple client Web Marketing projects, fulfilling orders placed by buyers for my books and software, and even as I travel across borders. And I’m still able to create ample time to spend with my family – especially coaching my kids]

I still work that way today. But it comes VERY easily to me, and I never feel stressed or over worked, because I KNOW how to strike the balance needed (my regular exercise regimen for physical fitness is worthy of note here)

What I’m saying in essence is that once you develop the self-discipline to make yourself function as I’ve described above, working hard will become like play to you. And once that happens, your productivity will go through the roof.

Sadly, I read and hear too often today, people getting told they can succeed, but not being told that it’s VERY likely to require 99% perspiration from lots of hard work they MUST do!

That’s why I’ve written this article.

To warn as many people as will read this, that short-lived success, which ultimately ends in failure is the most likely outcome to be had from adopting such LAZY thinking.

The following quotable quote underscores the point I’ve made above, providing a fitting end to this piece:

THE “MAGIC FORMULA” FOR WINNING

It’s so simple that it’s “revolutionary”.

The fact is, this formula, or principle, is misunderstood enough and overlooked enough that it can truly be called “magic” by those who understand it.

Ready, here it is:

You beat 50 per cent of the people in America by working hard.

You beat another 40 per cent by being a person of honesty and integrity and standing for something.

The last 10 per cent is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.

I find that this simple concept is the hardest thing to get people to believe.

But I know it’s true.

I’ve seen it time and time again. Just take a minute and let it sink in.

You beat 50 per cent by working hard. I don’t care if you’re building a football team, going into business, starting a company, or running the country as president…

You beat 50 per cent of the people AT ANY LEVEL just by working hard consistently over a long period of time.

I get so mad when I read some of those get-rich-quick books on the market today. They talk about how you need to work smart, nor hard, to succeed.

Wrong!

Nobody wants to tell you about the bone-wearing, backbreaking work it takes to succeed, but I can promise you one thing.

You aren’t going to get to square one if you aren’t willing to work harder than you’ve ever worked in your life.” – A.L WILLIAMS in “All You Can Do Is All You Can Do” – Thomas Nelson Publishers

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from him?

Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.

It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.

That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!

Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.

But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings, and from directly relating with him.

Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!

That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.

You Need Spontaneous Coaching™for Passive Income

August 22, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Quick Take Away: This article explains why I’m launching my Spontaneous Coaching for Passive Income (SC4PI)™ generation programme next week. It’s a confidential support service to help clients conceive, develop , package and promote their own unique range of passive income generating products.

===

If you’re a regular visitor to this blog (www.tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets), you probably know my primary target audience are Farm Business CEOs – and those aspiring.

But as a multipreneur I have clients in other industries e.g financial consultants, legal experts, hospital owners, restaurant owners, medical consultants, NGO operators, HR consultants etc

A growing number of the Farm CEOs, actually hold full time jobs, while running their businesses part time – often in partnership with their spouses.

The do this typically because they dream one day of settling into a freer life – and safer – outside the requirement of 9 to 5 job, without worrying about how to make the money to maintain the lifestyle they want.

Based on the above, if you’re reading this, know that I have a wealth of knowledge, and experience based insights from exposure to a variety of market opportunities that I can share with you, in helping you.

In fact, that’s why I’ll be launching my Spontaneous Coaching for Passive Income (SC4PI)™ generation programme next week.

As I said earlier, the purpose is to offer a confidential hand-holding support service designed to help clients conceive, develop , package and promote their own unique range of passive income generating products.

I actually already have clients I’ve been doing this with already – but it is based on a promo offer I made few weeks back. They are the ones who took up my first offer to help them build their own Money Making Product. So, this is not exactly new.

However, it’s the insights I’ve gained from working with the current clients that has convinced me I need to make this a formal offering for members of my target audience to take up.

You see, it’s become apparent to me that people are going to be “coming around” to the realization that they NEED to boost the amount of money they make without necessarily doing more work.

They are discovering that earning passive income, in addition to the money they already make, can dramatically boost their ability to achieve financial security.

As that realization hits them, some may remember what I’ve been saying, and decide to try launching out.

The problem I anticipate is that if they do not connect with professionals that work with integrity, they may do it wrong, and get frustrated. Or worse – they could get exploited and end up NOT achieving the desired end.

So, to assuage my conscience that I’ve done all that I can, and in line with the prompting I continue to get from the Creator, regarding this matter, I’m launching this SC4PI™ programme.

Here’s an offer for Early Sign ups…

The first 10 people to sign up will get EXACTLY the same offer package as that given to those who took up the promo for the trial run I announced on Monday 13th July 2015.

Get full details of the offer I made back then at: No. 201: Your Own Money Making Product Built by Me [Offer Expires MNT Wed 15th July 2015]

The formal announcement will come sometime next week, via my blog and email newsletter broadcast.

The Best Way to Make Money (True Story)

August 21, 2015 Tayo Solagbade 2 Comments

Would you like to have a never-expiring system that makes people who want what you sell, find, contact and eventually pay you money to get it – with little or no work on your part? Or to put it another way, would you like to make money via passive income generation?

If YES, this article, the true story it tells, and the invitation at the end, may interest you.

Nothing beats earning income via passive income generation i.e. without having to work!

Now don’t get me wrong. There is some work involved and it can be quite hard. But that’s often at the early stages of creating the income generating product. Once that is done, you simply focus on attracting buyers and fulfilling orders. This latter aspect, when done using a intelligent web marketing system, will often be self-sustaining.

In other words, you would do the work once (and it can be hard work!), and reap the rewards for what can be a lifetime. In fact, in many cases, you’ll be able to hand over what you create to your offspring!

The story I share further down, is just one of MANY that I have to tell, from years of using this system.

It illustrates how the system I refer to can earn YOU what some people make in a month, in one evening. That has happened to me countless times since 2012, when I chose to focus 100% on selling my products and services online, instead of physically going out to find buyers.

Today I have no need to go out “hunting” for clients.

Instead I devote the increasing hours of free time that passive income generation affords me, to THINKING up new products and services to offer for sale using the same system that’s working so well for me.

Then I create and refine them, and ultimately put them online for my target audience to discover.

Now, because the system I use is based on the Internet, my overhead costs are close to nil.

As a result, the risk associated with launching my new initiatives is often close to zero, and most times, I am able to keep up the promotion of the solution, tweaking it based on results and feedback I get, until it starts selling.

Today, buyers from within and outside Africa send payment to me, for my Excel-VB software products such as my Excel-VB Ration Formulator and Poultry Farm Manager, Invoice Generator, Payslip Generator etc.

But apart from my growing range of customizable Excel-VB software (some of which are mentioned above), I have other Digital Cash Flow Generating Assets(DCFGA)™ I own today, even as I continue to create more…!

One good example is my popular Feed Formulation Handbook.

There are others in audio and video formats too. I provide links to some of them below to give the reader (what will hopefully be) a useful insight into some of the ways one can create DCFGAs.

1. One good example is the Audio DVD information product titled “Proven Ways to Generate Useful Passive Income”

See the article I used to announce/promote it here (click)

2. Another is my Audio Book titled 10 Storyfied Yoruba Proverbs

It comes as a Audio Enabled Power Point Slide show that can be downloaded or delivered by courier on DVD.

See the article I used to announce/promote it here (click)

Here’s the Youtube trailer I created for it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZUd4KCDRT8

Notice that ANY subject you have competent knowledge of, or expertise in, can be used to create these kinds of income generating products. So, you need not stick exclusively to your core area – else you limit yourself.

The first buyer I had for this audio book DVD was a senior manager (a lady) with Standard Chartered Bank on Victoria Island in Lagos – Nigeria.

After watching the Youtube demo video, she’d called and paid (via bank transfer) the N5k fee for it, and added N2k for delivery to her office!

3. Yet another is the Home Study Video Tutorial Pack on Feed Formulation.

Click here to view the image flyer I created for it.

See the text transcript of one of the 2 preview videos I use to promote it on Youtube here (the video is linked to/embedded on the same page)

What You Can Do to Get Started….

THINK of what you know well (or know how to do competently) that you can present in a form that people in your target audience are likely to want to buy.

Understand that it does NOT have to be something anyone has done before.

And you do NOT have to do it the way others have done theirs. Follow your gut-level instincts in implementing the ideas that come to you.

In my experience, from over 2 decades of doing so, your instincts or intuition will rarely steer you wrong!

If you do it right, it’s only a matter of time before you come up with something that hits home with your target audience!

In my case, the first “seller” I had was my Feed Formulation Handbook, then my Ration Formulator Software (which buyers of the handbook actually asked me to build!), and later my Poultry Farm Manger (which I first built in 2009, for a 12,000 poultry layer farm on the outskirts of Lagos – and later put up for sale online) .

In between all of those, I’ve created some other smaller DCFGA™, which are mostly information products sold in my online store. More recently, audio and video DVD information products (see examples above) have joined the library.

You see, you only need to get started. Once you begin to see sales, your creative instincts will naturally get stimulated. You will have tasted blood! That will make you do more, and in the process you’ll gain deeper insights about what areas to further venture into.

Note however, that you will succeed best with new products you create, ONLY if you PAY diligent attention to feedback you get, as well as new trends/developments in markets you serve!

My ongoing achievements convince me that ANYONE willing to put in the work, can benefit from creating and selling DCFGA™.

And that’s why I’ve launched a special support system to help interested persons LEARN to create and sell theirs.

Like I said, anyone can do it.

Think about it this way:

You will develop the ability to create products, which if well conceived and marketed to the right target audience, will attract buyers with little or no effort on your part, who gladly pay to get them from you.

For instance, imagine being able to offer your DCFGA™ at a promo price to enquirers who call you, and having some of them take it up, so that you go to bed that night an extra N55k richer, in your bank account?

Yet fulfilling those orders would only involve personalizing the products (if needed) and sending it as an email attachment to buyers!

Wouldn’t it be a great way to go through life – knowing that you will always be able to earn decent extra sums with minimal effort on your part (after the initial – often hard – work of creating the product)??

I’m sure you agree it would!

It would make you LESS fearful of what tomorrow will bring, if you’re self-employed or without work. And if you’re a salary earner, you would have extra money to do MORE of what you want. Money that comes even when you don’t do any real work!

Let me share a true story from just 2 days ago i.e. Wednesday 19th August 2015 to illustrate:

About 30 minutes after I finished a Skype phone conversation with a new UK based client for my Book Ghost-Writing service, I got a call from a Lagos based Poultry Farm CEO.

I recall telling him that I found it strange that he got through to me on my Nigeria mobile line (+234-803-302-1263), even though I was here in Cotonou, Benin Republic. It was the first time anyone had ever gotten through to me here, without using my Benin line (+229-66-122-136). Normally, once I cross the border, I’ve often found that I am only able to send and receive SMS messages using the line for the country I’ve left.

But back to the story…

The Farm CEO told me he had just watched the Youtube video for my Excel VB Poultry Farm Manager, and wanted to know what the price was, and if I could customize it for his farm.

I answered both questions and offered some details on what to expect.

Then I told him of a promo offer I’d just sent out, via bulk sms to my subscribers that same Wednesday morning, which was due to expire at midnight. I noted that if he was ready to buy, he could take up the product at the promo price…BUT only if he filled and submitted my website contact form to join my mailing list.

This was because the offer was ONLY meant for people who had signed up as subscribers.

The guy wasted no time in doing that, and I sent him account payment details. About 10 minutes later, he sent me an sms that he had done bank transfer!

But it DID not end there…!

Just as I finished replying the SMS, I recalled that another Poultry Farm CEO, had called me while holidaying in London, but had since returned to Nigeria. He had also indicated interest in buying the Poultry Farm Manager.

It occurred to me that the promo offer might interest him. I called his mobile line, but kept getting a “Not Available” message from a recorded voice. My purpose was to inform him of the promo offer, in case he would want to take it up.

When I could not reach him on phone, I could have simply stopped there. However, my keenly honed selling instincts made me think of sending him an email, as I’d noticed during our past correspondence that he used a smart phone, and appeared to be often online.

It was a good thing I did, because less than 30 minutes later, he sent an email thanking me for the heads up, and confirming that he had done a bank transfer to take up the promo offer! (See screenshot below)

Less than 24 hours later, I had sent both buyers the promised promo versions of the products.

Each CEO had paid N27.5k, making it a total of N55k paid into my bank account in ONE single evening!

[NB: You must remember that what I sell are 100% digital products. So I have no production or delivery costs to worry about…]

Isn’t it amazing how having the solution people want, in form of a product you can sell, promoted using an intelligent web marketing system, can enable one make repeat sales with little or no effort?

The best part is that it’s timeless marketing.

That is, it NEVER expires – and I mean that with reference to the product marketing.

The narrative I just shared above is a reality I experience on a regular basis. So this is not just some theory based recommendation I’m making to you about Digital Cash Flow Generating Assets™

It’s a tested and proven strategy that has WORKED for me for YEARS.

And I’m not the only one who uses it – as I also studied others to develop the variant that is mine today.

However, it is my vision to help as many others as would like to, learn how to make money in this same way.

I look forward to working with you

No. 206: [NEW BOOK] Defeating The Devil Inside (Subtitle: Travails of a Young Believer, and His Misguided Female Convert)

August 17, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

On the surface, my new book’s title – Defeating the Devil Inside – and its story line, suggest it’s primarily about religion i.e. the devil, angels and Christians battling evil (It’s actually based on the script for a play I wrote in 1987 at the age of 17 – which was dramatized during the Youth Week of Christ Baptist Church, Gbagada, Lagos-Nigeria).

The truth is however that the story teaches adults – regardless of religious preferences – who wish to LIVE right before the Creator, that they WILL be continually tested in various ways, in their efforts to achieve their goals and dreams.

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – [NEW BOOK] Defeating The Devil Inside (Subtitle: Travails of a Young Believer, and His Misguided Female Convert)

The truth is however that the story teaches adults – regardless of religious preferences – who wish to LIVE right before the Creator, that they WILL be continually tested in various ways, in their efforts to achieve their goals and dreams.

So, the message in this book is NOT really a religious message as such. Instead it is one for ALL who wish to connect with the Creator and let Him direct their affairs daily.

You can be an adherent of any faith.

What matters is that you BELIEVE in the almighty God, and in His ability to reward you for living a life worthy of His approval. Adversity will be visited on you from far and near. Friends, even loved ones, may let you down or even plot to bring you down. But if you have unflinching faith in God, NOTHING they do will make you fail or fall.

“Defeating The Devil Inside” illustrates the foregoing, based on the narrative of the travails of a young believer and his young female convert.

In spite of a series of painful setbacks in his personal and work life, the young man remains courageously faithful to God, and supports the young lady with unconditional Christian love even when she strays off the path, into bad company.

Lessons to be learnt from this young man’s example include:

> The importance of staying strong in times of adversity, keeping faith that God is in control

> The value of loving others unconditionally, and supporting them no matter how badly they fall or fail, or how hard things get for YOU, or them.

> The need to take diligent personal action, with prayerful faith for God’s guidance, to turn bad circumstances around for the better.

> The understanding that sometimes hardships befall us because God wants us to learn something important i.e. not all setbacks are negative.

> The insight to know that when we’re going through adversity, some tempting offers of help we get may NOT be from God. Sometimes accepting such “help” may lead us to bigger problems.

> The foresight to develop competencies that boost one’s ability to achieve financial security, without needing a job (Mention is made in the story, of the real world Vocational Skills Training programmes provided by Omowale Ola’s Foundation for Skills Development in Lagos-Nigeria).

It goes without saying that when I wrote the original script almost 3 decades ago as a teenager, I was NOT thinking like I AM now!

[Above: A photo of the original handwritten script from back in 1987, which I stumbled upon while doing some packing in the house in Lagos. As you can see, the pages are really worn out. It took some effort to type out the first 2 pages, as the writing had almost faded out completely.]

Years of exposure to the realities of the real world as an adult have influenced me to use that same story in this manner.

For instance the original story ends with the young believer and his convert finding better jobs than those they lost. This book’s version ends with the young man attending vocational skills training after a futile job search, and then starting a small business – after which he then gets a job. But he continues running his business part time.

That’s more consistent with the realities of today’s world compared to 1987!

Now, despite making slight modifications to the story line to reflect current realities (e.g. use of phone SMS) as well as deliberate emphasis on the wisdom, in today’s world, of developing competencies and nurturing talents/abilities to gain financial security (via references to Vocational Skills Training programmes run by the Foundation for Skills Development – FSD), I have retained most aspects of the narrative regarding the DEVIL in their original form.

Above: Photo is of page 8 that I cut and kept, from Sunday Punch of 11th July 2010 – it’s a special report on Omowale Ola’s Foundation for Skills Development (http:// www.fieldofskillsanddreams. com/). In the book, I deliberately used FSD as a reference in the revised story line, for the main character (John)’s self-transformation – he attended a 7 month “carpentary” program at FSD and launched his own venture.

As a green-eyed first year undergraduate in Nigeria’s University of Ibadan, I wrote the original story with a VERY different conception of the “Devil” (a key character in the story), to what I have now – 28 years on.

In this book therefore, the “devil” is NO longer really the devil in the sense of the “biblical fallen angel” – lurking around trying to lure believers to sin.

The message I want to pass about the “DEVIL” is a bit deeper now.

Today – for me – the “devil” as presented in this story is not the one commonly talked about.

Instead THIS devil is the kind that gets to us in real life, in form of a “naughty inner voice”, as well as via “naughty people” we encounter daily (e.g. friends, clients, even relatives) in society, who may try to make us do wrong in thought, words and actions!

The story’s characters are made to engage in serious internal dialogues when faced with adversity.

This illustrates the battles we often fight INSIDE ourselves (hence the title “Defeating The Devil Inside”) when going through hard times or dealing with temptations.

This book’s narrative therefore gives YOU an opportunity to consider how you behave under difficult situations, from the perspective of an observer.

Hopefully it will help you realize the need to maintain absolute and unquestioning faith in the Creator’s ability to SAVE you, no matter how much trouble or tribulations you face, so you never resort to doing things you’ll be ashamed of.

Final Words: I recommend you order a copy of this book for yourself, and a loved one…

I intend to use the money from sales made to organize dramatization of the story by young children, by liaising with socio-cultural organizations everywhere I travel – even here in Benin Republic (a French language version will be written).

Like I mentioned earlier, I actually acted the role of Devil when this script of mine was dramatized in Christ Baptist Church back in 1987.

It was great fun for all the kids involved, and I personally came away BELIEVING that the happy ending of that story was destined to be the case for ALL who acted in line with God’s will.

It’s why today, I live my life that way (i.e. acting in line with the Creator’s will). That’s why I want my kids to do the same thing.

Drama is a powerful medium for communication and instruction.

The process of reading their lines, and acting out their roles, will help them internalize the message, and hopefully imbibe the morals/values being advocated for adoption.

The purpose is also to build their confidence and skills in reading, comprehension, critical thinking as well as public speaking, among other benefits.

In case you wonder, I happen to be blessed with six (6) kids. Except for the youngest who is a year old, the others are of ripe enough age to play the different characters.
The three eldest of the 5, are boys aged 16, 14 and 12 respectively, while the girls are 9 and 6 years old.

It’s also why I share this script with YOU…so that you and your kids can do the same thing.

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from

him?

Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an

expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls

them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.

It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in

proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.

Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.

That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!

Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.

But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings,

and from directly relating with him.

Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world

you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!

That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.

If you need help putting the ideas shared above to use, let me know HERE.

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – Resist the Seduction of Mediocrity

The very act of pursuing success requires stretching one’s self BEYOND what one has been used to doing previously.

Richard Branson is an excellent model of what is possible in this regard…

When I say the above, I do so based on deep insights I’ve gained from working VERY closely with CEOs face to face, and via the web, within and outside Africa, for well over a decade.

Years ago, I resolved to emulate Branson as much as possible in the ways I go about my own business affairs.

You don’t have to agree with my approach. For me however, the reach and impact I achieve makes it worthwhile.

Here’s another example: My use of the title “Location Independent Multipreneur” used to cause more than a few eyebrows to be raised when I began using it, after relocating to Benin Republic in 2013.

All of the above happens, with payments being sent to me from within and outside Africa by total strangers.

Way back in 2003, when I first began describing myself as a Multipreneur…it earned me LOTS of criticism.

So I kept presenting myself that way. Eventually, some people began to nibble at my bait.

What I’ve said here does NOT cover all that is possible with regard to the mental attitude I’m advocating YOU adopt…

When a person gives in to the above described fear based need, s/he will effectively be taking refuge in mediocrity.

Final Words

History credits a teenage boy – Hanson Crockett Gregory – with “inventing” the hole we associate with doughnuts today, back in 1847.

How do you relate with your kids when they come around you as you carry out your tasks?

If you don’t already do it, Hanson Crockett Gregory’s story should inspire you to let your child get more involved in doing what you do

The world will be a better place if more of us deliberately tap into our wealth of past experiences, especially way back to our childhood years, to coach others.

I believe we do not currently do enough “Experience Sharing”…

You’re reading THIS because I’ve resolved to embrace my God-given gift for helping people in this manner.

Back then I wondered why they had to make all the fuss, thanking me in person and sending emails to say even more.

I built on the hard lessons of my past, and applied the principles and philosophies I learnt by studying books like Think & Grow Rich.

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – No Substitute for Hard Work If You Want Success

Below, I explain why hard work, when avoided in pursuing success, will often lead to success with a short shelf-life.

Edison went on to become a renowned inventor by dint of hard work.

Edison was NO stranger to hard work. But he gained even more fame for his demonstrated attitude to failures that resulted from most of the hard work he did.

What most people who know about Edison’s success often miss…

The above is why I think it’s crucially important to ALWAYS try visualizing the CONTEXT in which failure happened for successful people – by diligently studying them.

As a keen student of authentic long-lasting success achievement, I LIVE the stuff I’m sharing with you.

In reality I’m able to do so because for YEARS I’ve diligently applied myself to writing even when I did NOT feel like doing it.

I still work that way today. But it comes VERY easily to me, and I never feel stressed or over worked, because I KNOW how to strike the balance needed (my regular exercise regimen for physical fitness is worthy of note here)

The following quotable quote underscores the point I’ve made above, providing a fitting end to this piece:
