One of the greatest minds of the 20th Century – a philosopher and a scientist – Albert Einstein said; «doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity». A sizeable number of literatures have interpreted this quote to mean that if you want to change your life, you must change what you are doing. If your business is tanking, it's time to see if there is an alternative path you could guide your venture along. The more I read the quotation, the more I disagree with the above assertion. Albert Einstein, a man who has won so many accolades from outstanding school of thoughts like the Time Magazine's Man of the Century, could not...

Wow, the year has gone; God has truly been there through the ups and down. Just some few days to a new year and I can remember vividly my first post this year; «Helmets for Sale»: Thanx to the Lagos State Government and the readers of this site who made it possible to make it a fruitful transaction. It was definitely a kill! Ever since then, my readers have participated in various trainings (Vietnam, Gold, MBA, Business Plan, etc) offered through this site. The support I got from the readers of this site during the SET Garden land sales was beyond comprehension and then came the car vacuum cleaner which I must confess was positively shocking. Mobile Moviz kits show...

Immediately you saw this picture, what was your first impression? It is important you take 2 minutes to reflect on this. The impression you get from this particular picture says a lot about you; when I saw this picture, I laughed so hard and tears started flowing from my eyes. The picture was quite ridiculous though it held a lot of meaning to me – the picture ironically reflected a similarity between these two sworn enemies; both of them strongly oppose same sex «marriage or sexual relationship». Another thing quite interesting is the fact that Osama was made the husband which could simply interpret that Osama would always have a higher authority to Bush in any combat. In most circles...

Actually going on the self-employed route is more like gambling and for most degenerate gamblers, it is not the end that drives them but the thrill of the possibility, the chance of recognition, the chemical high of anticipation, etc. They get more excited by the process rather than the endgame. For most people who have taken this self-employment journey, they would realize that the ebb period of any business they venture in would make them question their motive(s) for taking the plunge: Why do I really want to go out on my own? What is my endgame? How do I know when I have achieved what I set out for? Compare the questions above with the question that may be...

I am sorry I couldn't make a post last week; I was in Ilorin speaking to youths on the Science of Success Seminar and Workshop and also present to speak were the NDLEA state commander, commissioner of police, commissioner of road and transport, various consultants and speakers. I was privy to speak twice on the concept of career development and entrepreneurship; the funny part of the workshop was that I was introduced as the author of popular book, JOBFinder and I did not even have a distributive center in the city (lol). Anyway, I am suppose to be finishing the series on the questions one must ask him/herself before quitting his/her job and plunging the self-employment route but some...

If you want to be successful as a self-employed person, this is the second question you must ask yourself before you leave your current job. It is quite imperative to read the first part of this ongoing series before delving into this article: Click HERE to read it. This was supposed to be the last question I wanted to expatiate on but I got an important question in the comment box that made me realize how crucial it was to discuss this particular perspective. The question from Deji goes thus: «I am trying to go it on my own but the challenge I face now is getting financiers who are not asking for an arm and a leg in...

Actually, this post is not for everybody – it's for some group of courageous guys that have been contemplating leaving their 8-6 work. The red and the blue pill have been placed in front of them and their heart is consciously leaning towards the red pill. I am actually having these disturbing feelings that after you finish reading through this article, you may decide NOT to go with it (lol). Ok, let's get to the crux of the matter; a friend who willingly left his job 9 months ago to try out his hands on his dreams of becoming self employed, decided to go back to being employed. The reason he gave for returning; «Bros. it's not easy out...
