One Big Money-Making Secret

I was busy reading on of my friend’s articles recently and one of the statements made a great impact on me that I decided I am going to highlight it and share it with you.
The statement was brief, straight to the point and could mean a million naira to anyone who would give it a thought like I did.
This is the statement: “Why Not Produce it?” I know that many of you will start thinking: what is so special about such statement?
If this statement doesn’t seem to make any meaning to you, don’t worry, just come along with me.
Do you remember that I have always reminded you of Dr. Robert H. Schuller’s wonderful statement that the greatest secret of success is to find a need and fill it?
Now, if you ever dream to make a million and call it your own, you must think seriously of this my friend’s and Dr Robert Schuller’s statements.
Now to explain further, as you read this story, do you know that there are still a good number of needs in your life still to be met? And that if you see anybody who will offer solution to that problem, you will be willing to pay any amount for this service or product?
Also, do you know that there are, at least, one million people here in Nigeria alone who have the same need?
Now, your opportunity at this juncture is : Why not produce that thing and market it to those one million people and make cool cash?
In another way, ask three of your friends what their great needs, and you will discover that the three of them will have different needs.
Now, why not offer to meet just one of those needs and find the remaining nine hundred and ninety nine thousand people and market the product or service to them.
For example, one of those your friends has the problem of getting a trustworthy marriage partner, why not see that as an opportunity and build a website that solves this problem or write a book on that topic and start marketing it.
And if you don’t have an idea to write in that area, then find a person in that area and let him write for you while you pay him. Then you go ahead to market it.
My dear friend, there is always a way around every problem.
I want you to sit down and think deeply over this issue, it’s worth it.
And if you are confused over what I have just told you, make a visit to any truly successful person that you know and tell him that one man just told you everything I am telling you now, and hear what he has to tell you.
Henry Ford discovered people’s need for cars and he produced it. Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu discovered people’s need for news and he produced it a daily,
Chief Erastus Akingbola discovered people’s needs for finance and banking, he produced Intercontinental Bank.
Bill Gates discovered people’s needs for computing, he produced Microsoft.

Now what do you think people are looking for? Go out and produce it.

10 Rules To Building A Successful Business By World Top 7 Experts

1. Commit To Your Business
Believe in it more than anybody else. I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. I don’t know if you are born with this kind of passion, or if you can learn it. But I do know you need it. If you love your work, you will be out there every day trying to do it the best way you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever.


2. Share Your Profits With All Your Associates, Treat Them As Partner.
When you do this, they will in turn treat you as a partner, and together you will all perform beyond your wildest expectations.
Encourage your associates to hold a stake in the company. Offer discounted stock, and grant them stock for their retirement. Its the single best thing we ever did.


3. Motivate Your Partners
Money and ownership alone aren’t enough. Constantly, day by day, think of new and more interesting ways to motivate and challenge your partners.
Set high goals, encourage competition, and then keep score. Make bets with outrageous payoff. If things get stale, cross-pollinate; have managers switch jobs with one another to stay challenged. Keep every body guessing as to what your next trick is going to be.



4 Communicate Everything You Possibly Can To Your Partners
The more they know, the more they will understand. The more they understand, the more they care. Once they care, there is no stopping them. If you don’t trust your associates to know what’s going on, they will know you really don’t consider them partners. Information is power, and the gain you get from empowering your associates more than offsets the risk of informing your competitors.


5 Appreciates Everything Your Associates Do For The Business
A paycheck and praise will buy one kind of loyalty. But all of us like to be told how much somebody appreciates what we do for them. We like to hear it often, and especially when we have done something we are really proud of. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They are absolutely free – and worth a fortune.


6 Celebrate Your Success
Always learn to celebrate your success. Don’t be so ambitious that you fail to acknowledge the progress so far.


7. Listen To Everyone In Your Company, Figure Out Ways To Get Them Talking
The folks on the front lines – the ones who actually talk to the customer - are the only ones who really know what’s going on out there. You’d better find out what total quality is all about. To push responsibility down in your organization, and to force good ideas to bubble up within it, you must listen to what your associates are trying to tell you.

8 Exceed your Customer’s Expectations.
If you do, they will come back over and over agin. Give them what they need – and a little more. Let them know you appreciate them. Make good on all your mistakes, and don’t make excuses – apologies. Stand behind everything you do. The two most important words in my career are “Satisfaction Guaranteed”

9. Control Your Expense Better Than Competition
This is where you can always find the competitive advantage. You can make a lot of different mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out business if you are too inefficient.

10. Swim Upstream
Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there’s a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction. But be prepared for a lot of folks who may want to wave you down and tell you, you are headed the wrong way.
Use these principles and you will build your own successful business.

Are You Facing Insurmountable Obstacle?

Michael Jordan’s turning point occurred when he was in tenth grade, after a temporary defeat spurred him to strive for a huge goal.


One day he was cut from the high school team, he went home and cried the rest of the afternoon. It would have been easy to give up after that huge disappointment. But instead, he turned this painful experience into a burning desire. He set a higher standard and an even greater goal for himself. He made a real and powerful decision; one that would shape his destiny and the destiny of the sport. He decided he would not only make the team but also be the best player on the court.


To achieve this ambitious goal, he did what every other successful man or woman does; he set a goal, then took immediate and massive action. During the summer before this junior year, he sought the help of the team’s coach, Clifton Herring, and every morning at 6. am, Coach Herring drove him to the court and put him through intensive drills. At about the same time, the budding basketball player grew to 6 feet 2 inches. In fact, his desire to achieve his goal was intense that he would hang on the monkey bars at school trying to elongate his body because he thought it would help him make the team.


He practiced every day, and when the time came, he was chosen to play for the varsity team. He proved a point that his Chicago Bulls coach, Doug Collins, would make about him more than a decade later: The harder you prepare, the luckier you seem to get. Michael Jordan went on to win several awards in and out of the basketball court. He is today rich, a role model and has been recognized worldwide to have changed the face of the game.
According to Corrie ten Boom, “The first step on the way to victory is to recognize the enemy.” When some hear the word enemy, the first thing that comes to mind is their neighbor, friend and colleague in the work place or even a family member. But the truth is that we are our own worst enemy. When you are not succeeding in something you are doing, the best thing is to look deeper to find out what you are not doing right.
Perhaps it’s time to identify the source of the obstacle and face it head on.
My dear reader, look within. The answer to that obstacle may not be too far from you. All you need to climb the mountain successfully is very close to you.

To your success !!

There is Only one Secret of Success.

Life has pushed almost all of us around one time or the other, but a few amongst us have freed themselves from being pushed around all their life.

A lot of people have worked and worked trying to find success, to no avail.
However, experience has shown me that success is not achieved by merely working hard; it is achieved by working smart.

I know many people who worked 8 am to 8 pm all their lives, with very little to show.
Most often I bless God for my life because fortunately, I have found myself in the midst of readers, and most of us know that Readers are Leaders.

So, as part of my own contribution to humanity, I went into research to know the real secret of success, and my findings confirmed that there are as many definitions of success as there are those who take time to define it.

Even Webster’ comprehensive dictionary definition, that success is the accomplishment of what is desired or aimed at, did not convince me enough as to accept it neglecting the definition or the formula of the person I am about to share with you.

One great and respectable person said;”The Secret to Success is doing something and people may like it”
I agree a little with this man, yet I am not fully convinced.

But the day I came across Dr. Robert Schuller’s statement that, “The greatest secret of success is to find a need and fill it,” from that day, I knew I had got what I was looking for.

I don’t know whether you share Dr. Robert Schuller’s view; for me, I agree with him completely.

Come to think of it .99.9% percent of all the rich and happy people that history has recorded had to play around Dr. Schuller’s statement: Find a need and fill it.

Let’s start from Jesus. He brought salvation to us. Yes, people followed him in the thousands.

He became the most famous person on earth even though he never grew beyond 33 years.

Look at Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Bill Gates etc; they were all busy providing what people need.

Let’s come back home and think of our own people in Nigeria. Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Prince Samuel Adedoyin, Dr. David Oyedepo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu among others.

Even me, I never knew the weight of Dr. Roberts Schller’s assertion until recently when I also played around his philosophy of finding a need filling it.

So brothers, my sisters, are you still among those who are confused and don’t know how they are going to make their first million naira in life?
Dr. Robert Schuller’s statement is all you need to think about very well.

Look around you very closely, and you will discover that the people around you have one need or the other.

And you will become a wiser person if you know that for every one person that you know who has a particular need, another one million people are having the same or similar need; meet one of such needs and become a millionaire.

There is only one secret of true success: find a need and fill it.
See you at the top.
