Losing your job could be a good thing.

As higher learning beings, comfort is an instinct that is so  strong that we would do anything to keep our patch.

Most of us allow our job roles to define whom we stand to be, we  put  our jobs which gives us a sense of  security and self worth and standing in society. I agree that success is day to measure on the job, but true success is you achieving your set goals.

I understand that at this point in time you feel disappointed, betrayed, a strong dislike for your colleagues left in the system, especially when you feel you have given your all on the course of duty, you can not stand the look of the Company logo, i truly understand, you might not have a plan B in income, bills will surely slap you in the face, very few people call you, even the kids' school are breathing down your neck, I understand.
Action Plan
1. Never Panic! : Things will fall into place, I do not know how, but be calm.
2. Never ask for help in desperation: makes matters worse.
  Cool calm and collected.
3. Play around on Social media , be a kid again, you will stumble on articles to make you feel better and see a different perspective.
 Begin a hobby, and do menial jobs, a business could begin.

The truth is you require a nudge to leave your comfort zone, start that dream business now, start hawking your groundnuts, anything you cannot afford shows you were not meant to have in the first instance. Close your ears and eyes to what people are saying, who really cares, begin to live your dream today.

I hope this helps.

Life is worth living happily

love story to Inikpi

Yesterday, we went to an Ibadan version of a French Paris cafe,  outdoors, trees,  young students making noise,  we were eating chips and barbecued chicken wings, Ali and I were drinking beer, you were sipping and said to me "mum,  tell me more about my birth story" I smiled at you, lifted my head up from my candy crush saga game, Ali smiled, he looked at me and we smiled at each other,  in that look a million words had been said between us. You are a prize my darling Inikpi Araoluwa. You are the first thing I ever fought for.  (I guess you would be šŸ˜•   puzzled)  Inikpi, you were so quiet in my tummy, I was afraid you will be stillborn.  I stressed your dad so frequently to the emergency ward,  the poor chap had turned into a staff member at the general hospital.  You were quiet for another 7.5 years. Clingy, unsure, cautious, you walked late, you spoke late,  I had to leave you with strangers so I could go to work,  your...

How not to kill a successful Team.

Image
On my way to Work one morning, listening to an audio book, a statement pops at me "Success is achieving Set goals" Pondering on this, I realise teams are destroyed because we do not know how to manage success of teams when we achieve set goals.   A team is considered successful when set targets are met. A team would have gone through this cycle to become a performing team. Going back to the story, you know I am a salesperson, so I am constantly ploughing resources into Self-Motivation, being a Team Lead can be draining as you have to constantly motivate your team. I had learnt from a previous job that you can lead effectively by having; Experiential Knowledge: In my opinion, I believe the best leaders are created from the team, Management has expectations, the Team also has expectations, the ability of a person to balance the expectations of both parties increases productivity. A great example is recently my sales team expanded. From my experience I have learnt tha...

Image
(Image from www.weshare.com )   No one can force you to do a job you do not want to do. Sales Jobs can seem to be weary behind closed doors, you get to a point and say to yourself "is this really worth the stress?" Sales jobs have their down days where you feel that you just cannot go on. From experience it is easier to stay Self Motivated, than expecting to Management to keep you motivated, because we all have a free will, and we rebel when being coerced into submission. Simple Crazy tips to keep you Self Motivated: As at that Moment, you are the person for the Job: Feel good with yourself It is just a Job; This job does not define whom you are, it is just a process to achieve your dreams.
