Success is not as complicated.

Believe in Yourself  !cropped-img_20160117_1020201.jpg


Life is not as complicated as we think it is, we just need to keep moving.

Success is relative, Success differs from person to person , however success comes from when " you have achieved your own goals" for those of us in Sales, achieving set targets have various rewards, Bonuses, promotion, many a times reviewed targets just to name a few, however personal goals should not be about buying a new car or building a new house, we need to live quality lives. Being a Nigerian living in Nigeria I continuously punch myself talking to myself "What am I doing in this Country?"My daughters are growing fast into Young Ladies and it is heartbreaking when I can not find a decent pair of Trainers to buy, { Not that I can not afford them, just not enough available in the stores as everybody stocks low quality.I finally get a pair but it costs an arm an a leg! }

It takes inner strength to live on your own terms, because you have no applause along the way but yourself, if you are waiting for somebody to say "Great Job!" I feel so sorry for you. the truth is your job is to be the best version of yourself so why do you need the applause. Being the best version of you includes being the best parent, spouse,friend,soul mate to yourself . Naturally it blossoms and shows itself to everyone else effortlessly. I have met quite a number of mean people in my life, however they pass by like every Season, and at one time they are in the distant past, horrible managers, nasty colleagues, greedy in laws, dirty Neighbors, the truth is it is always about you to yourself.

Love yourself as much as you can, nobody owes you love, whomsoever who gives you love, has given you a gift, but you cannot receive the gift if you do not love yourself. You disappoint yourself if you await the World to be loyal to you, you would become bitter and you loose your joy, betrayal comes to you when you notice  the betrayal of others.

Let go of the pain in your heart, I am hugging you from here. Love yourself, your heart will heal faster than the crap of forgiving the person who hurt you so deep. I tell you from experience that once you begin focusing on yourself Miracles begin.

Life is worth living Happy!

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...

“Self-Motivation” the Salesman’s magic blue bill.

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.

Management will always change, so just hold on, strategies constantly change, however you need to choose when to leave. Your...
