CAN SALARY BE ENOUGH?

CAN SALARY BE ENOUGH?

"If only I have an option, I would stop this job immediately".  This was a statement from a friend, who works with a finance house. I could feel the pain and stress in her voice when she said that, and I was moved and felt so sorry for her. But, there is absolute nothing I can do to solve her problem, because the need for her to make an ends meet is paramount.

I decide to write this article to encourage and advise in my own little understanding, those who might have got entangled in the same rat race just as my friend.

"When you work, you do so for financial security. Only investment and investing can make you financially free". (c) Sean

As an employee, your salary shouldn't be your primary focus. Rather, pay more attention to what you must learn on the job that would make you a better manager of your own business in the future. "Work to "LEARN” when you are still young and not to ‘’EARN".

An employee should always see their present job as a short term goal for the realization of a long term goal. Working with an organization make you more organized. It offers you the platform to be well trained, have good corporate ethics which you can apply in your own business when you eventually set up one.

For every aspiring entrepreneurs or business owners, I'd recommend you work for an organization or a firm that has been already establish in the area of business you intend to start, even if you'll have to do it for free. Call it "INTERNSHIP or APPRENTICE" whatever. Doing this will prepare your mind for what you are about to venture into.

Below is my acronym and formula for the word "SALARY"

S- Set aside some of your salary to,
A- Acquire more assets
L- Limit,
A- Accumulation of Liabilities
R- Retire
Y- Young .  (C) Sean

Are you a salary earner? I urge you to master the acronym above and inscribe it on the tablet of your heart. Having this acronym saved in your memory, would assist you on how to plan your exit as an employee, and get you prepared of creating your own business empire.

I wish you a success in your career endeavours!

Cynthia Osokogu was murdered by her facebook friend.

24 Year Old Cynthia Osokogu left Abuja in late July 2012 (According to reports, on the 22nd of July 2012). Like many enterprising young people, the post-graduate student of Nasarawa State University was a clothing retailer and had travelled to Lagos to purchase new stock.
Cynthia had been chatting with some new “friends” on Facebook for a few months. In the course of their conversations, they developed a friendship and a level of trust. These young men were also university students, they seemed normal and promised to host Cynthia when she came to Lagos.

There is speculation that they paid for her plane ticket and promised to pay for her hotel as well. Only Cynthia knows if this is true. Whatever the truth is, Cynthia trusted her new friends and had no idea that they had sinister plans.
What we know is that, these 2 young men picked Cynthia up from the airport in Lagos and drove her to a hotel in Festac. At the hotel, they tied her up, robbed her of all the money she brought to shop for her business and strangled her to death. They then left the hotel and quickly deleted her from their facebook friend list to remove any trace of their connection.

The hotel found her body and since her ID cards and mobile phone had been stolen, they could not identify her or call friends and family. Her body was deposited in a morgue in Lagos. All this time, her family and friends were praying for her safe return.

How the Killers Were Caught at some point, one of the culprits accidentally answered Cynthia’s phone and the call was traced to Festac. Therefore, her missing person’s police report was submitted to the Area E Command in Festac. This enabled her family to find her body in the morgue and also led them to the hotel. Using CCTV from the hotel, the killers were identified. According to reports, these two young men are university students who have now confessed that they killed Cynthia and she is their sixth victim – the gang reportedly specializes in luring unsuspecting young women, robbing them of their possessions before killing them.

Though there is speculation that their motive was ritualistic, it appears that it was greed and their main goal was to rob and kill. The pharmacist who supplied the drugs used on Cynthia and hotel staff have also been arrested. According to Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide, “Six people were arrested on Sunday over the incident and investigations are ongoing”. As you can see, Cynthia is one of Nigeria’s numerous social media generation girls (with BB and a facebook account), this unfortunately led to her demise.

UEFA's Best Player in Europe award Nominees Announced.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi, his teammate Andres Iniesta and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo were named the top three finalists Tuesday for UEFA's Best Player in Europe award.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi, his teammate Andres Iniesta and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo were named the top three finalists Tuesday for UEFA's Best Player in Europe award.

The three finalists, selected from an original list of 32 players, received the most votes from a panel of 53 reporters from each of the UEFA member associations. The final vote will be held live on Aug. 30 in Monaco during the UEFA Champions League group stage draw.

Messi won the award last season. He won the Ballon d'Or in 2009 and FIFA Player of the Year awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011. He is the leading candidate this year, having scored 73 goals in 60 matches for Barcelona en route to breaking the club's all-time scoring record. Messi beat out Ronaldo for the European sports media's Golden Shoe earlier this year. Iniesta was voted UEFA's Euro 2012 Best Player.

Juventus' Andrea Pirlo finished fourth in the voting, followed by Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez, Real Madrid's Iker Casillas and former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba (now with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua). Eighth-place voting was tied between Chelsea's Petr Cech and Colombian star Radamel Falcao, of Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil finished 10th.

DO YOU WANT TO BE "RICH"

Do you want to be "RICH"

The above question I was asked by a friend. This question got me silenced for minutes and I eventually answered him in affirmative.

Now I am throwing the question out to you. Do you want to be "RICH"?

I Think your answer to my question is "YES" I hope I guess right? No man on earth is be willing to be poor. We desire so much in our minds to be “RICH” But how many are ready to pay the price attached to being RICH?

“IF YOU CAN’T PAY THE PRICE, YOU CAN’T WIN THE PRICE” This is simply to tell you that, the road to the top is never rosy. Before anyone could get to the height of success, there are prices you must be willing to pay.

Many are those who desire so much to be wealthy in life, or should I say they aspire so much to also make the Forbes list. However, How many people are willing to be a servant. The truth is, No MASTER has not for once been a SERVANT? I doubt it if there is one. So you must be ready to serve, I mean rendering a service(s)

WHAT IS SERVICE: According to Oxford English Dictionary, Service is a system that provides what the public needs. When you have a platform that provide for peoples need, they will surely pay you for rendering such services and this is what we call EXCHANGE.

What service are you rendering to the public? Who are the people you serve? I have come to realise that, the richest people in the world today are not those who work so hard, but those who think and also profer solution to people’s problems. I call them the “PROBLEMS SOLVER OR SOLUTION PROVIDER” When you solve people’s problem, they will be willing to pay you some money in order for their problems to be solved.

So, if anyone wants to be rich, think of what you can do to serve people, or rather to solve peoples problem.

Let me highlight on two or three areas on you can be a service provider or a problem solver.

TRANSPORTATION: Millions of people need to go out on a daily basis to their offices, to the market et al. Don’t you think you could make so much money if you have one vehicle out their to convey people to their various destination? We live in a country where everyone cannot afford to buy a car of their own, so going into transportation business is a means of servicing people and also solving the masses problem.

CAFETERIA: “ A HUNGRY MAN IS AN ANGRY MAN” This connotes that, people cannot do without food daily. As we also know that food is life, going into cafeteria or eatery business means you are giving lives to people, and they will be glad enough to pay some money for the service you render to them.problems you solved for them.

CONSULTANT: Many coporate organizations, Multi-National Companies, Advertising Agencies, Small Business Enterprise (SME) today needs the service of a consultant.

Who is a consultant: A consultant is a person who knows a lot about a subject and it’s employed to advise about it to other people. By this definition, you will agree with me that, a Consultant is a service provider and a problem solver. Because of the problems consultant sometime solved, their clients never hesitate to pay even much money to require for the services of a consultant.

There are so many other business you can do to serve people or the public, I only gave the 3 above as an examples. Without getting you bored with my write up, you will agree with me that, for any man who desires to be rich should not only dream it, but also wake up from the dream and act on the dream to make it a reality.

Be A Service Provider or A Solution Provider and you will definitely find you way to the top. I wish you the very best of luck in your endeavors.

DON'T LOOK AT THE CLOCK. DO WHAT IT DOES

In a recent time, we have been having so many millionaires emerged, and people also making the Forbes list as the top richest man in the world. Each of these rich men came into this world empty; their wealth is made here on earth. 

So why do we have poor people? I think the difference between the “RICH” and the “POOR” is attributed to how well they have been able to maximize the time at their disposal. If being born into a wealthy family is the prerequisite for success, people like Bill Gate would be one of the most wretched people on earth.

Everybody share the same 24hrs, some are committed to the full maximization of their time, making sure they acquire all the necessary tips and information they would need to be successful in life, while others are so engrossed in what constantly distract them from taking full maximization of their supposed productive time.

An adage says, “Tell me a man who plays with his time, and I will show you a man who lives in abject poverty” Oniyide Seun. Another wise saying says, “Time is money” each time I ponder on these words, I try to figure out what they really mean, then I realized that the money everybody yearns for, has been to the time at our disposal. So TIME is not to be used, but TIME should be invested. Even wisely.

How you spend your time is what you become. Do you know when you sleep for 8 hours daily, by the time you are 60 years old you would have slept for 20 years out of your life.? Don't quote me wrong, sleep is good for the body, but what you do with the 16 hours left to cover for the time spent in sleeping is very important.  Let’s do a quick mathematics calculation for a better understanding of what I am trying to say above. 

24hrs makes a day, and 8 hours is one third of a day. Therefore, one third of 60 years equals 20 years. Therefore, 8/24 =1/3 then, 1/3 x 60 = 20. 60 – 20 = 40.

With the illustration above, you can as well agree with me that, time is no man’s friend and it will only favour those who understand its importance.

TIPS ON HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY.

You must learn to manage your time effectively if you dare to be successful in life. Make every minutes of your time counts. In your free time, you can always look for a book on business to read on how to manage business successfully. Anytime wasted can never be regain, you must be cautious of not letting any distraction steal your time away from you. Your TV, Cable Channels and some friends can be a time killer. 

NO ONE CAN MANAGE YOUR TIME.

You are responsible for how you have decided to spend your time. Do you spend your time watching and talking about people who have made use of their own time to become successful? Are you one of those people who watch things happen positively around them? Are you one of those who spend so much time arguing about A or B is the richest? Why don’t you save your energy and use your time to study what is responsible for the wealth of those you argued about and see how you can be like them or even better.

SHOW RESPECT FOR TIME

Fortunes come to those who respect their time. Time is no respecter of man and it doesn’t wait for anyone. When you invest your time wisely by using it to acquire knowledge and work hard, there is no way fortune will not find its way to your door.

PLAN YOUR DAY IN ADVANCE.

You must plan your activities for the day in advance. Prepare a "TO DO LIST" and write a plan on how you intend to implement or achieve the task you have written down in your to do list. 

Try this few steps above and see how things gradually disappear from your to do list.

 In conclusion, I leave you with this quote as a watch word. “Don’t look at the clock. Do what it does. Keep moving.”

POSITIVE ATTITUDE BRINGS SUCCESS.

Your business will prosper greatly if you build and consequently sustain a positive attitude. Even when things in your business are not going according to plan, you have to remember that you are not alone. All business ventures have their ups and downs. Those impediments can be easily overcome and you can always get back on track if you keep a positive outlook to everything. You will also have increased confidence in yourself and your business capabilities. A positive attitude will make finding prospective customers simpler. Others will react well to your optimism. They will want to hire you and suggest you to others. This will also assist you in other departments of life. You will be in good health. Positive people have less fear of heart inflictions. Here are some useful tips for you to expand on your positive attitude. •   Be Nice to Others: Being polite and friendly with other individuals will make you feel nice about yourself. You will have a brilliant and happy day. However, you shouldn’t be gullible and allow people to manipulate you because of your friendliness. •   Mix with Other Positive People and Avoid Those who Have Negative Attitudes: Attitudes rub on to others very quickly. If you spend more of your time with positive people you will automatically find yourself developing a more optimistic attitude. However, negative attitudes can also be very infectious. There is a popular saying which goes, “Misery loves company”. When you are always in the company of people who perpetually complain, you will automatically find yourself beginning to do the same. Insignificant factors that would normally not bother you will suddenly seem to spoil your entire day. You will feel like you have lost all your energy. The moment you lose enthusiasm and incentive, it can prove very difficult to get back on track. These factors can take a negative toll on your business. You will not get anything constructive done this way. •   Be Organized and Practice Time Management: When you are systematic you will work faster and be able to complete more tasks. You will know exactly what you need to do achieve your target each day. You will do constructive work if you stay within a system instead wasting time searching for phone numbers or email addresses that you have misplaced. •   Be Proactive: The moment you are aware of an oncoming obstacle in your work, solve it instead of leaving it till the last instant. Be practical and have a solution ready before the problem can get out of hand. By being ahead of possible impediments, you will permanently be able to avoid setbacks. •   Consider Hiring a Coach: Many individuals hire tutors nowadays to attain success in business. These tutors of guides will assist you in deciding exactly what you require your business to yield. They will set attainable targets and will also demand justifications for actions. Therefore, the right and positive attitude is the most important ingredient for a successful business. Practice it as well as follow it daily. You’ll soon see you have become much more successful than you ever conceived of. By Brian Tracy...

YOU NEED TO RE-EVALUATE

PRISON BREAK TAUGHT ME A LESSON...

As an entrepreneur, one thing I have learnt is not to view things with an ordinary eyes. I also learnt to always put my brain at work. The entrepreneur school of thought also teach me to be proactive and see things in a different dimension.

I am sure some of you must have seen the movie titled PRISON BREAK? I was privilege to also watch the movie last weekend being my first time and it was a great movie I must agree. The movie taught me some vital lesson which I decided I am going to share with my friends. So sit back and enjoy as you read....

Let me kick start with the quotes in the movie which I tend to like so much.

Quotes extracted from prison break movie.

1. When money is in line, trust no one.

2. I kneel only to God, I don’t see him here.

3. If you want to restore dignity, you need to take action, making amends requires much more than saying, “I am sorry” it means learning to change. The apology thing is that you display honesty, courage and compassion when you extend your apologies. You need to earn your forgiveness.

THE LESSON I LEARNT IN PRISON BREAK MOVIE.

1. Think smart.

Napoleon Hill wrote a book titled, THINK AND GROW RICH. Ben Carson Wrote a book titled, THINK BIG. Donald Trump wrote a book and titled it, THINK BIG AND KICK ASS. You will agree with me that this great Best Selling Author can’t be wrong by telling you to always think. Every great idea start with a thought and it’s paramount as an individual to always engage our mind to think positive at all time. Thinking alone will not do, but you have to think smart.

2. Have a strategic plan

“He who fails to plan will definitely plan to fail”.  If you must succeed in your endeavour, you must plan and plan well. Strategic planning will give you the edge in what you are about to do. Plan, stay and run with your plan to achieve the result you desire.

3. Never under estimate the power of a woman.

Men are logical in their reasoning, while women are so sensitive. They can sense things from afar; they have a soft spot on your prospect. A woman can be an asset to an organization as much as a man can be.

4. Communicate Effectively.

For your staff or team to perform at their optimum, Effective Communication is highly essential. You must communicate effectively with your staff, clients, partner and your customers at when due. Open communication must be one of your objective in achieving your organization goals.. No wonder most company today has an information/communication consultant.

5. Trust no one except God. Not even your instinct or your ability

Never leave God’s factor out of your business and personal life. The race is not to the swift,  bread not to the wise, chances and time happened to them all and also to who God has decided to show His mercy. In all you do, put God first. Your instinct, ideas and wisdom can fail you, but God never fails no matter the circumstances.

6. Keep most of your plan a topmost secretes most especially when you are doing it to be successful.

Learn to keep some of your ideas as a top secret. To become successful, you must never let them see your coming. Let your arrival do the announcement.

7. Treat a stranger as a stranger. Never let them get too close because you don’t know his or her mission.

Not everybody that comes to you have your interest in their heart. Learn to keep a stranger at a distance. You cannot tell if they have come to spy on you? Becareful of the kind of information you share with someone you know little or nothing about.

8. Never assume you know it all. Everyone has their own specialties.

Outsourcing is one of the things you must always consider. Learn how to delegate responsibilities. You can’t do everything by yourself. “No man is an island”.

9. If you must work with a team, chose the most intelligent people to work with.

One of the recipes for success in your endeavor is to work with people of your like minds. It is very important to employ the best hand to work with, when you do this, you’d make things more easy for yourself.

10. Together Each Achieves More. “TEAM”

Team work. Make this your primary principles for completing the task you have at hand. With the power of synergy, organization achieve more than having their team to work individually.

Everything written in this article is at my own view. If you have seen the movie, I will be glad to read from you. What lesson have you learned as an individual from the above film?.

Do have a fruitful week ahead.
