Failure is part of life and if you haven’t failed at anything, we can all agree that you haven’t lived at all. I mean, while you were a kid and still crawling, you failed many times you tried standing up on your feet to walk. Failures don’t matter to you at that point and that is while you cared less about how many times it took you to give walking a shot before you finally walked.  So, failure is...

Want to be successful? Then do the things you need to do even when you don’t feel like doing it. Yes! That’s how it works, many people that stayed consistent at something, say sport, fitness, jobs, or whatever, did it by doing it even when they do not feel like doing it. It is the hack you need to take u. Nobody likes running in the cold, and nobody feels like taking punches in training, usian bol...

Ever wondered why I insist on the importance of reading books? It's not just about a casual pastime; it's a strategy to fortify yourself from unnecessary suffering and poverty. We're living in an era defined by information, where a single piece of knowledge can be your ticket out of trenches. You've heard it before: No knowledge is waste. That's precisely why your pursuit of knowledge should know...

Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s experience, perspective, and feelings. With sympathy, you may have compassion for the other person and their circumstances, but you do not put yourself in their shoes. So, what many of you have for those you are leading is sympathy and not empathy. I remember a woman that owned a shop and sells body creams, she had a staff them and was very loy...

In my podcast, aptly titled "Focus on the Process, Not the Result," I briefly touched upon the concept of the transformative power of 10,000 hours, or equivalently, 10 years. This golden rule suggests that achieving mastery in any domain typically necessitates around 10,000 hours of devoted effort and learning time or a span of 10 years. This notion gained prominence through Malcolm Gladwell's ren...

When something happens to us, we begin to question why we are the ones that things choose to happen to among 7 billion people in the world that it can choose to happen to. However, when good happens, we do not wish it goes to someone else. Funny right?  There's a purpose behind the challenges that come our way; one of them is to lead us towards happiness. You might be raising an eyebrow, but yes,...

No matter where we rank in the social hierarchy, poor or rich, I believe there's an ounce of suffering and pian in our lives, I believe the default mode of life is suffering, we occasionally feel happy, but we are all in life to suffer. Listen to more context in my latest podcast episode

When I was in university, I had a friend called Usman, he graduated as the best-graduating student in my set, Usman used to organise tutorials for us after the lectures is done teaching us, he would help solve problems and also provide clarity to some of the theories, Statistics as a course can be confusing at times. Usman isn’t just brilliant, what separates him and others is that he does what ev...

Learn Hard Things There’s a saying that if you want to make money, solve a problem, and if you want to make more money, solve more problems. The ideology is that to make money, you have to solve a problem, and the gravity of the problem you solve and the people facing the problem determines how much money you will have. This is similar to the idea pushed by Cal Newport in his book Deep Work that t...

Whatever you do, try to make sure you’re giving your best shot at every point a time. I was discussing with a friend recently on business ideas he can get started with and I highlighted what I know from my Marketing & Sales experience. I explained to him that he does not need to disturb himself with a grandstanding idea or some sort of unique idea, all he needs is to look around him, find a busine...

Charles Duhigg and James Clear have made it clear in their books “Power of Habits” and “Atomic Habit” that there’s a keystone habit that if changed will cause an overall transformation in our lives and they cited different examples. This is a fact that I believe you should also look into, there’s that one thing that if you fix will in turn fix everything else. You know you are addicted to smoking,...

Pay Attention To The Process, Not The Result What is the difference between successful people and those who fail? It’s the act of consistency, there is something called the power of 10,000 hours or 10 years, this ideology written by Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers, means great people or successful people are successful because they have done something for about 10,000 hours or 10 years. Look...

The rays of the sun are scattered, they’re divergent and if you want to start a fire with the sun, you only need to converge the rays of the sun with a focus to a flammable object or fuel and boom! You have your fire. However, the rays are scattered, and that’s why the world is not on fire right now. This ideology is the same for us humans, let’s liken our actions, interests, and behaviour to rays...

In this episode, I spoke intensely on how "love is enough" I brought down the narrative of "love is not enough" and added some other things you should listen to.

The saying remains it is foolishness to keep doing something the same way and expect a different result, this saying is true, real, and factual. This means for us to have a different result in something, we need to change how we do it. This ideology can also help us grow in life and also help transform our lives from whichever level to the next level. Many people make a few thousand and they’re ju...

Levers are used to amplify or magnify the force applied, they are used to multiply the effort you are exact on a particular load. This scientific definition came from the definition of a simple machine. For example, a wheelbarrow has a lever that allows you to transfer force from your hand to the wheelbarrow and the lever also helps multiply this effort and this is what makes pushing the wheelbarr...

Life revolves around stories, and your own life is no exception, you write your own story with each passing day until your eventual demise, which marks the conclusion of your story. Rather than navigating life aimlessly and thereby crafting a story beyond your control, it's notably more advantageous to live with a distinct purpose and structure. Think about the scenes and sequences, envision the d...

Jordan Peterson frequently emphasizes that we can be likened to interconnected nodes in a network. We are all linked in some way, and since we are part of a larger network, our actions and words inevitably impact this intricate web. Imagine a network of connected irons; if you heat one end of the iron, the heat will effortlessly transfer to all the other irons within that network. This analogy und...

In the renowned commencement address presented by Steve Jobs at Stanford University, he concluded his speech by advising students to STAY HUMBLE STAY FOOLISH.
