What book are you currently reading

There is a saying that your life only gets better when you get better. And 

also you will agree with me that the difference between someone who is doing 

better than you is not because he/she has more money than you but because the 

person knows something that you don't know. Also human beings are not perfect 

so we have areas in which we are not good and need to work on them. It could 

be on communication, marketing, sales, man management, project management, 

negotiation, self discipline, self confidence, public speaking, business 

management and so many others. 

So the question is what book are you currently reading to help you in any area 

you are not good at or even in areas you are good at and want to become better 

. Interestingly, they are so many books, ebooks and audio books that help us 

address this areas of our life. It is also said that if you read 30-60mins 

everyday for a full year, you would have spent about the same time and have the same knowledge a Ph. D or 

Masters holder spends in their education.

What books do you have in your library? What books do you intend to add in 

your library in 2015? Do you think your life will just get better by itself 

without you putting in any work? So what book are you currently reading?

Remember that YOUR LIFE ONLY GETS BETTER WHEN YOU GET BETTER

There is no Success without Struggle

Be motivated and never say never. Your dreams may seem impossible but its 

better to say I tried than what would have been....

Now read this...

MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a 

time when Nigeria did not have phones. Even Zenith bank refused to loan MTN 

cash to operate, UBA rejected MTN's offer but today see the difference.

At least, we all know the story of the only civilian unelected President in 

Nigeria - Goodluck Jonathan. We know how the people said he was not going to 

be President; they even made him acting-President. Today,  the rest is 

history.

What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria, they made milk in a sachet, 

Peak was laughing at them - they said Cowbell was milk for the poor - but they 

were right! 3million poor people could afford N10 a day for a sachet of milk. 

When you do the math - 3million people buying milk at N10.00 that was N30 

million every single day. In a month, they grossed N900million(almost 

N1billion). Even Peak, had to make sachet milk in order to survive the market.

Another intresting story is the founder/CEO of WhatsApp who was turned down 

from a job in 2009 by Facebook and decided to start WhatsApp. Facebook bought 

WhatsApp from him in 2014 for $19billion and made him a Vice President. As of 

October 2014, he is worth $7.5billion.

So what have people told you? What have they said you cannot do or you do not 

qualify ? They told Cowbell, they told Goodluck, they told MTN, they told Jan 

Koum, but today the story has changed. I have a feeling something is changing 

for you today! They will change their strategies just to keep in step with 

you. Don't listen to what people are saying or what life is showing you. YES, 

YOU CAN. Success is not about where you graduated from, or what grade you 

graduated with, but what graduates out of you.

Keep the spirit UP.

Be Inspired as we dey inspire.....
