BEING SUCCESSFUL, FAMOUS OR A CELEBRITY DOESN'T COME FREE, EASY, SIMPLE OR QUICK.

Being successful, famous or a celebrity doesn't come free, easy, simple or quick. If you are in doubt ask President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Aliku Dangote and the likes.

If think been successful, famous or a celebrity come free, easy, simple or quick, then why is it that you have not become a success, famous or a celebrity, since you've been hustling. 

You must be ready to embrace hard work if you want to become great in life. Unfortunately, this is one truth some many people don't want to hear. Ask the average person to chose between a job that is hard but will make them rich in the long run if they endure and the one that is easy and has a promise of quick and instant result however little, and you'll be amaze the answer you get. They want overnight success with little or no effort if possible.
Listen to what T. Harv Eker, author, secret of the millionaire mind said, "If you are willing to do only what's easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what's hard, life will be easy." How true? A line in the Bible put it this way: The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Proverbs 13:3-4

If you want to be rich, successful, famous or a celebrity, avoid taking the path of the least resistance, the easy way. It doesn’t work that way. Instead be willing to follow due process and pay the price.

Many people gush when they see or hear the amount of money most successful people have. But what they don’t consider what they had go through to come to wealth - the amount of effort they put in; how many times they tried and failed but refused to give up. Anybody would like to be a Thomas Edison but how many people will keep fail the number of times he failed and would not give up?

You need to be consistent in what you are doing. You must do learn to take risk if you want to have a good life. You must go the extra mile at achieving your goal. You have to be ready and willing to roll up your sleeves and take up big challenges. You have to give life your best shot. You have to engage in any good opportunity that comes your way no matter how tedious it seems. You must persevere, and be dodged. These are some of the ways to become successful,famous, or a celebrity, not the free easy, simple or quick as you must have been made to believe.

If you want big success, fame and influence, then start tackling big challenges. If you. That way you will get big result in return. Otherwise you will continue getting little or nothing from task or job that are nothing but a piece of cake. And that will amount to living a miserable and hard life as your income will be unable to meet your needs.

I want to be rich, successful, famous and a celebrity, and I am willing to follow every legal, and genuine process to that, not the free easy, simple or quick way. I am hard working rather than following the path of the least resistance, the easy way.  You too should toe the same line. Follow the right way, be willing to follow due process and pay the price.

Let me leave you with this quote by HENRY WARD BEECHER (1813-1887), American clergyman that further proves that been successful, famous, or a celebrity doesn't come free, easy, simple or quick:

“Victories that are easy are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.”

BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE OR PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS: MY PERSONAL THOUGHT

This cliche “Business before pleasure,” seems to be in sync with Proverbs 24:27,
That says “Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.” What that means is that if you want to succeed in your business, pleasure / fun should not be your priority, but the business. You can only have fun after the business is over. How true!

However, I am of the opinion that the opposite is also true. In some cases, pleasure should come before business. This is because business without entertainment/pleasure, is dead.

Your business can only thrive or succeed when it is presented to people who welcomes it, on a fertile not a hostile ground of the human mind. A business that is promoted in the wrong soil of the human mind will be dead on arrival. The reason is very simple. People are perturbed by so many of their personal issues that they don't have the time and the patience to listen to what you want to offer them.

So to sell or promote a product or services to people whose minds are occupied by so many things, people that you hold the solution to their problem, you have to be extremely smart. I mean, it behooves you to know how to get their attention so that you can help them with your product or service.

For you to be able to break their defence mechanism, their resistance, you have to know how to penetrate their minds, you have to know how to use entertainment to get their minds shifted from their worry to your funs. You have to know how to boost their confidence, encourage them and then have them listen for what you have for them. For me, this is where pleasure comes before business.

If you have ever traveled by luxurious bus, from Lagos to the Eastern part of Nigeria, you will know what I'm talking about; the way my Ibo brothers who sells various products on transit, in the moving bus, succeed in getting all the frantic passengers/ travelers in the bus to buy their products, is amazing. They will first bring fun to the people, by cracking their ribs with all kinds of joke. After that their business.

Are you into business? Do you want it to grow; do you want to have a high traffic that can translate to buyers? Always introduce fun, pleasure to your audience before you introduce your business to them. It will make them recieve both you and your business.

Viral marketing is a great advertising strategy or way of promoting your business. It is an advertising method where you create a mail about your business or product, service or site, send it to people you know, your network and encourage them to send the same mail further to people they know, their friends and associates. This way you promote your product or services to a wider audience in a very short period of time, courtesy, the mail you send which your friends resends to their friends. This method is cost effective.

Using funny messages for viral marketing works like magic. I used it to get people to visit my blog. For instance, some couple of days ago, a friend of mine sent me a joke that another friend sent to him. The joke was very hilarious so I quickly used it to promote my blog.That week, I received so many visitors to my new blog. Here is the funny joke and how I fused my blog into:

Only a courageous woman can fry a bunch of plantain without tasting any - Albert Macauley (1872)

He who says nothing lasts forever has never tried Hausa perfume - Nelson Mandela (1973)

He who completely unwraps moimoi and gala before eating cannot keep a secret - Abraham Lincoln (1864)

Any man that uses his teeth to cut shaki from pepper soup, with his eyes wide open, is not afraid of anything - Williams Shakespeare (1900)

Anyone who graduates without experiencing a strike, has never been to Nigeria - Lord Lugard (1904)

He who refuses to mix agege bread and akara as a type of sandwich is a racist - Martin Luther King jnr (1788)

Any man who drinks Alomo bitters without squeezing his face, is capable of murder - Michael Faraday (1899)

Drinking Garri doesn't mean u're poor, but allowing the Garri to swell b4 drinking is poverty - Queen Elizabeth (1893)

He who runs around looking 4 scissors to cut indomine seasoning sachet is not hungry - Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (1947)

No matter how hot your temper is, it cannot cook yam - Goodluck Jonathan (2013)

Anyone who reads this without laughing is either looking 4 job or needs salvation badly - Barack Obama (2014).

Don't laugh alone pass it on to other friends, after that, click on www.richbelievers.blogspot.com, for important information that can change your life.

MY BEST SELLER BOOK ON SUCCESS, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, RELATIONSHIP, CAREER AND BUSINESS

What book is your best seller on success, personal development, relationship,career,and business?

The answer to this question might be as many as the number of people that have read one good book or the other on the subject matter.

Can you recommend any one best seller book on success, personal development, relationship, career or business, out of all the best seller books in the whole world as the best? What would be your yardstick of rating such book higher than the rest best seller books?

If I'm to answer the question I would say that the book should be one that is known all over the world, and judged best seller by world's famous leaders.

Obviously, there is no any book that qualifies or meets this standard more than the Holy Bible. Few people may not agree with me. But please take a look at what these great minds have said concerning the Holy Bible:

J. Edgar Hoover:
“Inspiration has been the keynote of America’s phenomenal growth. Inspiration has been the backbone of America’s greatness. Inspiration has been the difference between defeat and victory in America’s wars. And this inspiration has come from faith in God, faith in the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount, and faith in the belief that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. Reading it within the family circle is more important today than ever before. It draws the family together into a more closely knit unit. It gives each member a faith to live by.”

President Ulysses S.Grant: 
“Hold fast to the Bible as the anchor of your liberties. Write its precepts on your heart and practice them in your live. To the influence of this book we are indebted for the progress made, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.”

President Woodrow Wilson: 
 “A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world, who has deprived himself of this: Knowledge of the bible. When you have read the bible you will know that it is the Word of God because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, and your own duty.”

Cecil B. DeMille: 
The greatest source of material for motion pictures is the Bible, and almost any chapter in the Bible would serve as a basic idea for a motion picture.”

Matthew Arnold: 
“To the Bible men will return because they cannot do without it. The true God is, and must be pre-eminently the God of the Bible, the eternal, who makes for righteousness from whom Jesus came forth, and whose spirit governs the course of humanity.”

George Washington:
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”
Thomas Jefferson: “I have always said...that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.”

William McKinley:
 “The more profound we study this wonderful book and the more closely we observe its divine precepts, the better citizens we will become and the higher will be the destiny of our nation.”

John Chrysostom: 
“It is not possible to ever to exhaust the mind of the Scriptures. It is a well that has no bottom."

Can you seen why the Bible is one book that has the best information about success, personal, development,relationship, career and business? This is why for me, it is the one that stands taller than every other best seller books.

Have you been a Christian since you were born and yet there is nothing to show for it.
Have you been reading your bible and you don't know how to convert the knowledge from it into success, personal development,relationship, career and business? You are not alone. Many people have read this book from beginning to end, cover to cover, Genesis to Revelation, yet they are not having the kind of life they want.

But never worry yourself any more. I have good news for you: success with the information in the Bible always comes down to what you make of any book, chapter, passage, or verse of the bible anytime you read them, and what you do with the ideas you garner from it. You can't afford not to fill your mind with thoughts of how to profit from the things you get out of the Bible.

I promise to show you a method, tips and guides that will help convert your knowledge of the Bible into a fulfilling life, a method that is working for me, in subsequent posts if you stay with me here.

HOW TO BOUNCE BACK TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS QUICKLY

 

What would be your first action if you borrow someone’s cutlass to chop down a tree and its head got broken in the process? Will you report the incidence to the person, look for someone to borrow money from to buy another one or will you take it to someone who can help you fix it?
Almost every one of us has fallen in want we do at one time or the other. Bouncing back to success from failure is not always easy for most people. For some people a singular failure in what they do can render them redundant for a very long time or even make them quit. I have seen people who decide to take the path of the least resistant, they started out doing things the right way, but now that trouble hits them, short cut becomes an option to bouncing back to life. They cut corners, involve in one sharp practices or the other; step on toes; use fake material, document etc all in a bid to minimize cost and get back to their former glory in little or no time. For those who are honest they will want to employ the traditional method that took them to the top the first time: They will wake up very early to work, dispense so much physical energy; sweat profusely on their job and get home very late and tired. But for a smart and very creative person, maybe someone like you, you won’t consider toeing any of the paths above. Instead you rack your brain to see if there are opportunities that you can leverage on, one that does not require you go the whole hug, the traditional way of the first example above.

The best way to bounce back is to be smart; creative positively. Hence bouncing back to financial success or any other success for that matter requires mental than physical work. While making use of your physical strength; effort is important, coming with a strategy that can by pass all the traditional methods and make you bounce back quickly is superb. So, I am of the opinion that you should try your best to use your brain first before using your brawn or other means.

Anytime I think of a come back from failure to financial success the story of the shrewd steward comes quickly to my mind. This guy lost his job and didn’t know that to do next. But he had a desire to remain relevant in what he does. So following the threat on his job, he posed this rhetorical question to himself: “What shall I do? For my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.” Then an idea popped up at him. The idea was to call every one of his master's debtors, make them pay up quickly by slashing the amount they owed. It worked for him like magic. With this plan he bounced back to life immediately and was commended for his ingenuity.

What the shrewd servant did is called thinking outside the box.

Everything I am doing today started when I became sick and tired of things not working for me, especially my finances. I resolved the problem when I decided to think outside the box. You too have to do the same if you want to go from failure or being broke to financial success. You have to wake up from a life of mediocre. You have to starting asking yourself deep questions, like what you must do with your life for things to change for you for the better. You must also leave your comfort zone. Do something extraordinary, those things that ordinary people would not dare to do. Always use your brain first.
