Starting tomorrow, the countdown to the opening of a new, exciting – and major – chapter in my entrepreneurial journey begins. I still can’t let the big cat out of the bag yet. That will happen via a scheduled post at midnight (Nigerian time) of Sunday 31st March 2013.
Most people who read that post the next morning will suspect it’s part of an April Fool’s prank. But it won’t be. And many will probably be shocked by the news 
Anyway, enough of the digression. Here are previews and links to posts I read during the past week, that I consider to be potentially useful:
I was born and raised in Nigeria. This is my country. I’m determined to continue BEING the positive change I want to see in her. Not just for myself, but also for the sake of my 5 (five) equally full blooded Nigerian children.
This is why Nwachukwu’s piece about President Jonathan’s act of granting state pardon to an unrepentant looter of public funds resonates strongly with me.
I still don’t know how to explain it to my soon-to-be 14year old son, who I’ve always told that people who steal and get caught, suffer for their crime.
We need more voices to join ours to denounce this shameful act. Emma Nwachukwu’s piece says it all. Read it here.
If you still wonder why some website and blog owners/writers have their photos appearing in individual search engine results, you need to read this article.
It explains all you need to do to achieve that and a lot more SEO benefits using your Google plus account. Read the full article here.
In last Monday’s issue of my weekly Public Speaking IDEAS newsletter, I referred to this piece authored by Burt Dubin.
NB: In the interest of full disclosure, and in case you didn’t know it, I get paid for any sales of Burt Dubin’s speaker mentoring products and services
that happen through my marketing efforts.
But the above is NOT why I’ve included Burt’s article here.
Instead I’ve put it here, because many adults need what it teaches, if they are to ever become fully capable of achieving their full potential in life.
I can say this without fear of contradiction because that’s what doing so has done for me.
Get this: He begins by saying his “#1 characteristic as a lifelong achiever” is having Bulldog Blood”: Not having a university degree, certification, or even a genius IQ.
Instead it’s Bulldog Blood?
But this insight comes from a 25 year veteran speaker, and mentor of some of the world’s highest paid speakers – who is himself a high school drop out!
He must know something most people don’t. Or he would not be where he is today.
By now I’m sure you’re curious to know what exactly he knows, that makes him tick, and achieve in this manner.
