When I quit Guinness to pursue a longstanding dream of being self-employed, Andy R.

When I quit Guinness to pursue a longstanding dream of being self-employed, Andy R. Jones, then Benin Brewery Operations Manager, apart from uttering phrases like \"Tayo simply refuses to Fail<\/strong>\" while speaking at my send forth party, went further to send me the following super handwritten note in a Christmas card, days before I left:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c..I honestly believe you are one of those who will succeed at anything he does. Your commitment and effort has been outstanding....Thanks for all your hard work since I\u2019ve been here - you will be sorely missed. I don\u2019t need to wish you good luck, you have the ability to make your own luck.- Andy(R. Jones) \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That was in 2001 - 14 years ago.<\/p>\n

Over the years that have passed since then, I've pursued entrepreneurial success with the same diligent devotion to continuous self-improvement, with untiring persistence that Andy and other in Guinness came to know me for.<\/p>\n

Just like it happened in paid employment (though this turned out to be a LOT tougher and took much longer) I am now reaping the rewards of doing the same thing.<\/h3>\n

Today, apart from enjoying excellent relations with my clients, most of who see me more as a friend than a service provider or consultant, I am also getting more and more lucky in the way I attract new clients and customers for the growing range of solutions I offer!<\/p>\n

Yes. That's how some people would describe it. Luck. But luck can be seen to be good or bad, depending on how one chooses to view it. My mental attitude, as a student of Napoleon Hill's Success Achievement Philosophy, and Wallace D. Wattle's Science of Getting Rich is that luck is what you make of it.<\/p>\n

And if you choose to ALWAYS see it as GOOD LUCK, and you go on to think and act to make it turn out that way, then that is what it will become for you.<\/p>\n

This is what made Andy, and others who have seen me in action conclude I have the ability to make my own luck.<\/p>\n

The truth is EVERY willing person has the ability to do the exact same thing. My life is proof of it, as are the lives of many authentic achievers on record in history.<\/h3>\n

\"Tayo<\/a><\/p>\n

This pod cast<\/a> offers you ideas you can use, to learn how to adopt the right mental attitude that will enable you make your own luck. If you've ever let anyone convince you that someone outside of yourself is responsible for the seeming bad fortunes you're having in life, I urge you to stop dis-empowering yourself in that manner.<\/p>\n

No one can make anything happen in your life that you do NOT permit in the first place by way of the thinking habits you adopt. Not even people supposedly armed with evil spiritual powers (whatever that means) to harm you.<\/p>\n

Listen to this pod cast and liberate yourself from today! <\/a><\/p>\n

PS: Request the pod cast transcript<\/h3>\n

Whenever I post an audio recording\/pod cast, I will create a downloadable verbatim text transcript version in PDF format, which will be available on-demand, for anyone who wants it.

In addition to constantly challenging the status quo and influencing positive work changes, he built a reputation for using self-taught spreadsheet programming skills (starting with Lotus 1-2-3, and later moving to Excel Visual Basic) - in his spare time - to develop Automated Spreadsheet Applications to computerize manual report generation processes in the departments he worked. Over four(4) of his applications were adopted for brewery level reporting.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n[IMPORTANT NOTE:====<\/h3>\n

On 4th May 2014, Tayo's 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net. <\/em><\/p>\n

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR \"reincarnation\" of it the website http:\/\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

he's published.<\/p>\n

If you experience any difficulties finding a page or document, email Tayo at tksola dot com.<\/p>\n
