Success is not a product of wishful daydreams or idle sentiments but a by-product of consistency, diligence, resilience and conscious efforts to succeed.

A growth mindset does not allow the eyes of his mind to magnify challenges as unsurmountable, rather it sees storms as a necessary voyage where it casts deeper and pulls stronger.

Work is a divine commandment. Never has anyone succeeded who did not roll their sleeves and get stuff done. If there is ever any yield that accrues without work, nay hard work, that yield will not stand the test of time. It will be like bubbles in the banquet of the winds.

Quietude, reclusiveness, and meditation are the keys that open the fount of creativity. Learn to seek answers from within and launch them without.

Forget titles. Forget the ego that goes with being a CEO. Just go get things done. Hide your personal status and showcase the powerful brand. It is both a virtue of humility and a potent strategy.

Be a worker before you become a lover. If you become a lover before a worker, you will crash. Adam was first a worker before he became a lover.

Honesty and integrity are today the rarest and the most expensive virtues. Only a few have them. Don’t trade them for the costliest gold or the tastiest wine. Even a criminal wants an honest accountant to keep his loot and criminal proceeds. He wants someone to trust. Someone different from him.

If you spent more time in frivolous chats on social media, heaven knows that you can never go beyond where you are. While social media today is an integral part of marketing and promotion, they should be used for the same purpose and not for some frivolous activities.

If you want to go far in life, build a brand that tends to solve a problem. Wealth lies in solving needs.

The younger people buy more than wants than they buy needs. If your target market is today’s youths, please sell wants more than you sell needs. It sounds tricky, but it is a fact.

We are all products of our thoughts. Thought is dimensional. If we guide our thoughts on the right path, we become more creative. If we guide it on the wrong path, we will stagnate. It is said in the scripture that as a man thinks so he is. Unfortunately, most Africans have been made to adopt the wrong way of thinking. When we hit a bend, we are made to believe that someone was responsible or that our ancestors were responsible for any challenge faced. This has killed many talents.

Be like a sailor. A sailor knows that the waves may strike and the storm may rise, but he still sets sailing, believing that against all the storms and waves, he will arrive unscathed. He understands that it is the nature of the sea to rage.

No matter how long the clouds gather, the stars will break forth and still exude their shimmering glitters. Be like the star that breaks the veiled cloud when it desires to shine.

Be like a water Lily that sprouts whether it stays afloat or submerged within the ocean depth. Just sprout wherever you find yourself.

The strength of the ship is measured in stormy waters. Don’t let the tide drown you.

Everything obeys the law of dualism. If you fail, it means you have started your journey to success. If you stumble, it means you are taking a good leap. If you cry, it means that you are wetting the root of your success.

In business, failure is not the opposite of success. It means that you have taken your first leap. No child runs the same day he begins to walk. He falls severally until he takes mastery of his steps and positions.

As a budding entrepreneur, keep a log where you enumerate your identified weaknesses and strengths. Knowing your weaknesses helps you to weed them off. Knowing your strengths propels you to a greater height.
