4 Financial Tips for You

It's been ages. Hello everyone how have you all been? I am so sorry for the long silence. It's been a very busy one though. A happy new month to you all. Recently I went to a store with a list in my hands usually this is what I do. I make a list of all the things I want to purchase with a budget before making any purchase. This has really helped me a great deal and also my finance. The fastest way to be in abject poverty is to purchase things because others are purchasing when you don't need them. The same thing happens to your goals. It is important we set goals either daily, weekly, monthly or yearly with dates. If you are one who set goals without a date, this means there is no challenge and it might take forever to get it done. The way we handle our finances says a lot about you. If you mismanage your funds because it is just some hundreds of naira you would do the same when it is in millions. Always remember as an entrepreneur you don't eat into your capital ...

Procrastination, the killer of Time

Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. I do that a lot of times but I notice that once I get it done when it should be done i.e doing the right thing at the right time because the moment you start delaying a thing, time won't stop ticking. It is high time you stop giving excuses for why you can't get it done and start seeing reasons why it should be done. So many people are carried away with social media that they have forgotten about themselves. they are so involved in other peoples lives that they have forgotten to apply the rules and values they have learned into theirs. Whenever I have an idea, I  must not procrastinate or else I will lose it. if I must accomplish a task the more I keep delaying the more it seems difficult to accomplish such task. That business idea that you have been delaying and postponing, put it to action, and start now, a year from now you would wish you had started today. Remember tomorrow is the only day in the ye...

More than love, you also need friendship

If you are thinking you need just love in that relationship. Then you have to think again. What sustains a good relationship is friendship. When love can be termed as a sacrifice, friendship can be termed as a trust. Marry your friend Love is possible after friendship but friendship is not as possible after love. Just the same way you need that strategic relationship in your life. Your colleagues at work, your business partners and your friends. Your spouse is also an important part of your life and decision you make concerning him or her will either make or mar you. Many people tend to get it wrong when you say marry your friend. That doesn't mean you should accept any of your friend's proposal asking for your hands in marriage. What this simply means is that it is important you be friends before you become lovers. Take time to study that person, be careful so you don't jump in and out of love. New research suggests that a strong friendship is a secret...

Fighting for survival

I just saw a YouTube video of an Autistic blind boy "Kodi Lee" who against all odds went for the American got talent audition and sang, not only could he sing but he played the Piano so well. He also got a golden buzzer by Gabrielle union-wade who was a Judge at the show, that automatically takes him to the live show. How fortunate, yea right. I was so motivated. Your fight for survival depends on you only. Kodi Lee would have sat back home with the excuse of being autistic and even blind but he looked beyond all of that knowing he is more than just being a blind and autistic boy. Even without his sight he didn't give up but made  meaning of his existence. So what excuse do you have. You there, yes you for not being productive. He didn't just go for the audition, anyone would have gone but he made it to the live show. How many times have you given up on yourself for trying out the same thing without result? the reason why you shouldn't give up is because you...
