Turn Your Disappointments To Opportunities


“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Perspective (how you see with your mind) is everything. 

Life consists of both high and low periods. We win, and at some point in time, we loose. But staying down or rising again is a choice we get to make.

While I was still an undergraduate at Yabatech, there was a concept I loved so much which every business leader uses till date. It is the "SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis".

SWOT analysis is a very balanced approach to problem solving because, it not only considers the weaknesses a business has and its threats in the market where it operates, but also considers the business' strengths and those opportunities it can leverage on. 

Now, if businesses and nations take detailed SWOT Analysis to clearly identify their weaknesses and threats, as well as their strengths and opportunities - then I suggest you do same whenever you are faced with personal challenges. 

Turning your disappointments into opportunities is a product of clearly identifying your strengths under any given circumstance, and being able to leverage available opportunities that complement your strengths.

So instead of sulking over those things you can't change - start focusing on the things you can control. 

Remember, YOU WIN MUCH EASILY IN LIFE BY OPERATING WITHIN YOUR STRENGTHS. 

PS: When you work for GOD, GOD would work for you. Nevertheless, GOD always loves you. 

Have a BLESSED NEW WEEK  ahead 🥂 🎉 🎊

WINNING PEOPLE OVER

We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:

EFFECTIVE FOLLOW UP

I understand the fear. No one wants to be annoying or bothersome to a professional contact, especially when you want a job, meeting, sales, sponsorship or something else very important from that person. If you don’t get a response right away, it doesn’t mean that person’s arrogantly ignoring you—it just may mean that he or she is too busy.  So, to the question: Should you follow up? Absolutely.
