ROLE PLAYING YOUR VISION TOWARDS ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS

Too many people dream of the life they want but are unable to put in place any plan of action to get that life. We all dream. Dreaming is the easy part, but how to change a dream into a vision - a vision that will propel us into that life?

Many successful people can role-play the life they want. They may not be where they want to be, but that doesn't stop them from acting out the life they want; the life they know, one day, they'll have. The ability to do this is important. Many of us are rational thinkers and know that we could make every aspect of our 'dreams' come true, but we take absolutely no action towards making any of them likely to happen.

We can all learn a lesson from watching children. All children learn about themselves and the life they're going to live through play. They simply play at being the person they want to be; a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, a mother. They use props around them to act out the life they going to have. They will show everyone around them, the husband they are going to marry, the car they're going to have, and the new worlds they'll be the first to discover. I'm not suggesting that we all revert to playing like children, however

THE MOST INTERESTING THING IN THE WORLD

I have yet to meet a bird that is afraid of flying because it has an inferiority complex.

I have yet to meet a flower that is reluctant to blossom because it is uncertain about the beauty of its color. 

I just imagine the sun hiding away because it feels like it is not sun enough to shine today.

Surprising as it is, I am sure there are many of us humans, reading this right now, doubting our sheer beauty. When you doubt your significance, you are actually doubting your very purpose of existence.

BEFORE YOU START THE BUSINESS - PART 1

Setting up your own business is exciting, but can also be challenging if you’re not prepared. You may be thinking of starting a new business, or you may be looking to take over an existing business. Perhaps you have decided to turn your hobby into a business. 

The first and most important step to take before you start the business is to anaylise your business idea, to understand the differences between a business and a hobby and decide if you are aiming to run a business for fun or for value creation.  

Before you get started, think through your business concept and decide on your goals and objectives. Find out if there is a need for your products or services, and who are your competitors.

Research all aspects of your business idea by gathering, analysing and evaluating information, and then decide whether the market can sustain your business.

TREAT ME LIKE MONEY.

(the value of time) 

Several times in my life, I have found money while walking down the street. The most I ever found was a five-niara note. That was exciting! Usually, it was a token or a dime. Sometimes I found money while watching my father's clothes or under a tree. Never have I 'found' twenty minutes or even ten minutes. Several times I have been given gifts of time when a doctor or someone else wasn't ready for me, and gave me a few minutes to read something while I waited for them. 

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with #86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!

Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.
