Making Things Happen

Success doesn’t come on a platter of silver. People who succeed make things happen. Often, our inability to achieve our goals in life stems from our reluctance to take decisive steps necessary to reach our goals.

One major factor responsible for our reluctance to take decisive steps is fear of failure, fear of the unknown and fear of starting something new. Everybody experiences these fears, but people who succeed in life are those who refuse to be held down by fears.

If you must achieve great success in life, the first thing you should do is to get rid of the fear in your mind. And the way to get rid of fear is to ignore it. Don’t listen to your fear.

Fear has a way of holding you down for as long as you allow it. You haven’t launched out yet, but fear makes you feel that you cannot succeed. No wonder, Shakespeare said” “OUR DOUBTS ARE TRAITORS AND MAKE US LOSE THE GOOD WE OFT MIGHT WIN BY FEARING TO ATTEMPT.”

What great opportunities we miss when we allow fear to hold us down. George Benard said: “THE WORLD IS RULED BY DEED, NOT BY GOOD INTENTIONS.” The movers and shakers of this world are not the idealists but the practicalists.

Decades ago, a gubernatorial candidate in Enugu State, Nigeria, by name Rev. Dr. Hyde Onuagulushi, was interviewed on the TV and one of the questions he was asked was: “What are the qualities expected of a governor that you think you possess.”

As the question was asked I thought he was going to respond by reeling out the number of certificates and degrees he has acquired over the years, but surprisingly, he did not. Rather, his answer was: “I don’t know the qualities a person may possess to become a governor, but what makes me the right candidate is that I MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.”

And you know what? The man’s success story reveals that he is not a theorist but a practicalist. He has been chairman and managing directors of conglomerates and he is also a founder of a church called God Dabbath Mission located at Achi, Enugu State. Talk of certificates and degrees, he had them in great numbers, but he never relied on them. THE GREATEST ASSET HE RELIED UPON WAS HIS ABILITY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

There is a great lesson for us to learn here. In life, it is not the number of degrees and certificates you have that matters; it is what you can do with the knowledge you have acquired.

Dear reader, are you a theorist or are you a practicalist?  All the knowledge you have acquired will be of little avail if you don’t utilize them for greater accomplishment. One of the greatest assets you can deploy for greater accomplishment is your God-given ability to make things happen.

How do you deploy this ability and start making things happen? Below are three steps you can take:

1.   Find Your Own Opportunity

Successful people are those who get up and look for the opportunity they want. They don’t try to copy or imitate others. They don’t jump into any venture because they see others doing it. They look for their own opportunity and they stick to it.

This is one the greatest secret of success: BE ORIGINAL, DON’T BE A CARBON COPY OF ANOTHER PERSON. IF YOU TRY TO COPY ANOTHER PERSON, YOU CAN NEVER BE YOUR BEST, BECAUSE BY VIRTUE OF YOUR GOD-GIVEN ABILITY, YOU CAN ONLY FUNCTION OPTIMALLY WHEN YOU OPERATE ON YOUR OWN PLATFORM. So, find your own platform. Discover your potential, for that is what you need to make things happen. You make things happen faster when you make up your mind to function on your own platform. Be original; don’t be a carbon copy.

2.   Create Your Own Opportunity

Successful people create their own opportunity, if they cannot find the opportunity they are looking for. Charles Cotton said: “GREAT MINDS MUST BE READY NOT ONLY TO TAKE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT TO MAKE THEM.”   

 Every person is loaded with creative abilities. With these abilities, there is no limit to what you can do. So, if you cannot find the opportunity you want you can harness your ability to create the opportunity you want.

During my undergraduate days at Ibadan, a friend of my roommate once told us of an OND Insurance graduate who went out looking for a job. But when he couldn’t find it, he took a bold step to create the opportunities he wanted. Today, the Insurance graduate owns several hotels, secondary schools and vocational centres in Nigeria as well as several businesses abroad.

The man’s advice to graduates who used to come to him for jobs is: “YOU USE YOUR HEAD. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR OTHERS TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT AND EMPLOY YOU. I DID NOT WAIT FOR THE GOVERNMENT OR ANYBODY TO EMPLOY ME. I WENT OUT TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT FOR ME AND OTHERS. MY ADVICE TO GRADUATE IS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE JOBS FOR THEM. THEY SHOULD RATHER GO OUT AND PIN THEIR INTEREST ON A PARTICULAR VOCATION AND STICK TO IT.” 

That is it dear. If you can’t find the opportunity you are looking for, Go out and create your own opportunity. Remember: YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIALITIES WITHIN YOU AND WITH THESE POTENTIALITIES, THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO.

I wrote a book that deals exensively on the issue of creating your own opportunities. The e-book version is also available. For details about this book/e-book, click this link: SELF-EMPLOYMENT SECRET

3.   Act on What You Know

Life is not about accumulation of knowledge; it is about contribution - using the knowledge you have acquired to better the lot of members of the society. The question then goes: what have you been doing with the knowledge you have been accumulating over the years? The fact is, things won’t happen until you act on thothese knowledge you have acquired over the years.

In this information age, what you need in order to excel is INFORMATION. There are many things you know which others don’t know. These are the things you need to put into action to make things happen.

Dan Kenedy, a successful internet marketer said: “Some dynamic insight into that small minority of people who achieve their goals and dreams, MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, get rich, etc, there it is: THEY ACT ON WHAT THEY KNOW. The vast mediocre – majority of people know more than enough to do much, much better than they do, it’s just that they never use what they know. I’d suppose if you could actually ACT ON WHAT YOU KNOW, 30%, 40% of the time, you’d be 3000% or 4000% of the time ahead of the 95% of the people around you.”

In conclusion, here is a rundown on what you should do to start making things happen for you:

• Get rid of fear and doubt by ignoring them or refusing to listen to them.
•  Create your own opportunity by choosing to be original and not a carbon copy

• Use your creative abilities to create opportunities for yourself

• Fasttrack your progress in life by acting on what you know.

And until I come your way soon, go out and MAKE THINGS HAPPEN by creating your own opportunities and living a victorious life!

How Charles Goodyear Earned Fame and Fortune from Problem Solving

Charles Goodyear’s name is synonymous with vehicle tryes. You might have come across tyres having the name Goodyear inscribed on them. But he was not the founder of vehicle tyres.

Goodyear began life with no formal education, but he had a burning desire to achieve great success in life. In 1821, he partnered with his father in a hardware business but the business failed.

Later, Goodyear discovered a big problem in the automobile industry. This problem was not with the engine or body of vehicles, but with the tyres. Vehicle tyres in the early years were hard and inflexible. As a result of this, vehicles’ velocity were not smooth.

The solution to the problem of hardness and inflexibility of vehicle tyres became the preoccupation of Goodyear. He looked for a way of making rubber, the raw material for vehicle tyres, soft and flexible.

He experimented for many years, all to no avail. But in 1839, after years of futile efforts in finding solution to the problem, Goodyear accidentally discovered a way of solving the problem.

How he discovered the solution was that he accidentally dropped a piece of rubber that had been treated with sulphur on his hot stove. And what he observed was that the rubber became soft and flexible. Thus, Goodyear discovered what is called “vulcanization,” which is a process of heating rubber and sulphur at a high temperature which makes the rubber soft and flexible.

Goodyear wasted no time in applying the solution to solve the problem of vehicle tyres once and for all. Today, in the automobile and rubber manufacturing industry, vulcanization remains the process of manufacturing tyres and rubbers.

Though not the founder of vehicle tyres, greater glory went to Goodyear for bringing in the innovation that greatly improved on the quality of vehicle tyres and rubbers.

Lessons from Goodyear

Dear reader, what can we learn from the success story of Goodyear? How can we earn fame and fortune from solving problems of humanity? Below are some lessons we can imbibe to turn our problem-solving skill into fame and fortune:

1.   Be Innovative

To make fortune from problem-solving, don’t bother being a founder; be an innovator. Being a founder is a bit more difficult than being an innovator. It may not be easy for all of us to be founders or discoverers, but all of us can be innovators. It is easier to come up with ideas that can be used to improve the quality of an existing product than to come up with non-existing product idea.

This is not meant to discourage you from inventing new products/things. If you are willing to make necessary sacrifices, like Thomas Edison did when he tried 10,000 times to discover the incandescent bulb, before he eventually succeeded, then, you should put on your thinking cap and invent a product or products that will benefit humanity.

In addition to being a founder, consider being an innovator as well. Most people referred to as inventors are more or less innovators. They didn’t actually invent the products. Someone else invented them, but they they take the glory by improving or adding more value to it.

Graham Bell was not the original inventor of the telephone. He started where the inventor stopped and eventually came up with a highly improved device for communication. Marconi was not the founder of radio; he took off where from where the original founder stopped and came up with an effective means of transmitting messages over a long distance. And of course, Charles Goodyear was not the inventor of vehicle tyres; he was only an innovator. He discovered a way of making vehicle tyres soft and flexible. By so doing, he earned greater glory for his effort.

Being an innovator is not so difficult. Take a pen and paper and start jotting down products you haver come across that are of poor quality. Whenever you buy a product/service and you see that what you paid for is not what you want, write it down.

After jotting them down, start thinking of how you can add value to the product to make it better. INNOVATION IS THE KEY TO INVENTION. And it all begins with ideas, thinking and creativity.

2.   Be More of a Creator than an Academic  

If you want to be a problem-solver and make fortunes from your problem-solving ability, be more of a creator than an academia. Formal education is not a prerequisite for innovation or problem-solving. You don’t have to be a degree holder, a post graduate or a professor to make fortunes from problem solving.

A person with little formal education but is willing to rack his brain and come up with solutions to problems bedeviling mankind, is sure going to earn fame and fortune for himself.      

Henry Ford of Ford Motors Corporation is one of the greatest inventors in the world, but he had little formal education. However, he was a great thinker, a man of great ideas and a man who believed he could find solutions to every problem he wanted to solve.

Dear reader, don’t use lack of formal education as an excuse for not being a problem solver. To a great extent, we are all problem solvers. We earn a living from making product/services available to those who need them. This is the problem solving we are talking about.

However, it is not just enough to meeting the people’s needs. It is equally important that you add value to the products/services you are offering to people. What will distinguish you and make you stand out in life is the VALUE you create. In reality, people don’t just buy products/services; they buy VALUE.

This is why you must focus on creating value. Add value to your products/services before offering them for public consumption. IF YOU ADD VALUE TO THE PRODUCT/SERVICE YOU ARE OFFERING HUMANITY, I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL STAND OUT IN LIFE.

Regardless of your occupation, business, trade, vocation or profession, you can stand out from the rest of the pack, if you will add value to what you are doing in order to better the lof of the generality of the people.

We are seeing it happen everyday how some persons in the lower rung of the ladder are attaining national recognition because of the value they add to what they are doing.

In the National Merit Award ceremony held in 2014, I watched with keen interest the live broadcast of the ceremony on TV how former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan decorated common citizens who distinguished themselves in their work place.

Among the awardees was a taxi driver who was kind enough to return several millions of naira left in his car by passenger he did not know. There was also a traffic warden whose commitment, hardwork, seriousness and dedication earned him national recognition. And of course, there was this teacher who was described as a teacher of teachers and a moulder of people’s destiny. He also earned a national award for his commitment, hardwork, dedication and contribution to national development.

Dear reader, the fact is this: you may be a cleaner, messenger, attendant, mason, mechanic, carpenter, etc; it doesn’t matter. If you are willing to add value to what you are doing, you will stand out, you will be elevated.

You may be adding value to what you are doing and you may think no one is noticing it. Never get discouraged and quit. You can’t keep adding value to your work without being noticed. Let me assure you that someone is out there taking notice of the value you are creating.

If the awardees of the National Merit Award are honest enough, they would tell you that they never knew that people and indeed the Federal Government of Nigeria were taking notice of the value thay were adding to what they were doing.

So, never stop adding value to what you are doing.some time, someday, somewhere, your effort will be richly rewarded.

Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!

Stress Management Technique that Works

Stress is defined as “pressure or worry caused by the problems in somebody’s life.” (See Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 6^th Edition). Stress is something we cannot completely wipe out from our lives. As long as there are problems on earth, stress will often show up in our lives whenever problems mount up.

Experts have made us to understand that we need some amount of stress to really thrive. Such amount of stress is necessary to propel us to be up and doing and to be the best we can be.

But much stress is what experts say can be detrimental to our health. The question, then, is: Since stress can be detrimental to our well-being, how can we manage it to a level where we can function optimally?

I found the answer in an article sent to me via email by Charisma Magazine, a Christian publication which I subscribed to its newsletter. Titled, “Rick Warren: Be Thankful in Tough Times,” the article was written by Rick Warren himself. Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, one of America’s largest and most influential churches.

Author of New York Times’ Bestseller, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?, Warren, was named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20^th century. Warren is also the founder of Pastors.com, a global internet community for pastors.

Now, let me share with you four steps that Warren stipulated we can take to manage stress effectively:

1.   Don’t  Worry About  Anything

The reason we should stop worrying about anything is that worry does not change anything. Warren is of the view that just as we learn to worry, we can also unlearn it. This means we have to consciously and constantly take control of our mind by refusing to entertain worry. This is possible because as Jesus said in Mattew 6:25-34 using the phrase, “take no thought” several times, we can by constant practice stop worrying by choosing the thoughts we allow into our mind.

2.   Pray About Everything

Phil. 4:6-7 says: “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Instead of worrying, we should spend our time praying to God. If we pray as much as we worry, we would have very little or nothing to worry about. God is interested in every detail about our life. And as such, He said: “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” (Psalm 50:15).

3.   Thank God in All Things

When we pray, we should pray with thanksgiving. As Warren puts it: “The healthiest human emotion is not love but gratitude. It actually increases your immunities. It makes you more resistant to stress and less susceptible to illness. People who are ungrateful are miserable because nothing makes them happy. They’re never satisfied.”

We reduce our stress to the barest minimum when we cultivate the attitude of being thankful in every situation we find ourselves. I Thess. 5:18 says: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” The situation you are in may not be pleasant; it may not be what you like, but the Bible says: “this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” We must embrace this fact and give thanks to God in any situation we find ourselves. 

4.   Think About the Right Things

Thinking, they say, makes the man. Prov. 23:7 says: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” Thinking is a very effective way of reducing stress because they way we think determine how we feel. And the way we feel determines the way we act. Instead of indulging in worrying or allowing worry thoughts to rule us, we should consciously and deliberately take control of our mind and start thinking positively.

In Phil. 4:8, we are instructed: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Finally, it is worthy of note that no matter the intensity of your stress, it can effectively be managed and reduced to a level where you can function optimally. Warren’s four-step approach is God’s prescription for managing stress. And because it’s God’s prescription, it works and will work if you practice it.

And as you practise this prescription, it is my hope that you will overcome every stress that is mounting up in your life.
