  Don't turn off your Whatsapp read receipts, do this instead... You see, while turning off your Whatsapp read receipt allows you to read WhatsApp messages without making it apparent to the sender, it can also be a sign that you lack confidence or worse, give your contacts the impression that you aren't a reliable ally. In simple terms, a WhatsApp read receipt refers to the two blue checkmarks  ✓  you see when your recipient reads your message on Whatsapp. However, if your recipient turns off their read receipts you only get to see two grey checkmarks  ✓  even after they have read your Whatsapp message, plus the time they read your message will not be available to you. So in a nutshell, the read receipts must be enabled on both sides to view the message read information. Strangely, WhatsApp voice messages treat read receipts uniquely  .... Thank me later. For instance, if you send a voice message of 2 seconds or more to a person who has their read receipts off, you will still s

If you are like most people there is a high chance that you find it easy to name all the things you don't want, but you find it difficult to name the things you honestly want. This is because knowing what you really want requires a lot more effort on your path. To know what it is that you want, you must be mindful. You must understand who you really are. Knowing who you truly are may require that you: - Focus on yourself more - Observe how you react/respond to situations - Have a clear understanding of your personal values, strengths, and deal breakers - Stop living on autopilot, and - Stop comparing yourself with other people in ways that drain you. So today and for the next couple of weeks, I encourage you to pay attention to yourself more in order to truly understand what it is you really want for yourself and go after it with faith. Remember, no company sets a goal by focusing on what they don't want. Likewise, if your goal is to be happy in life then you must know exa

Before you apply the tips below, be 100% sure that your ideal customers use the social media platform you are considering advertising on. Failure to do this would result in wasted time and financial resources. Let's proceed... Not studying advertising best practices before running an advertising campaign on a particular social media platform. Not clarifying your social media advertising goals, strategy, and success measuring criteria. Failure to create an image of your ideal customer based on things like their occupation, age, location, marital status, hobbies, interests, and income brackets. Bad copy-writing or not testing your advertising language before running an advert. Not studying your competitors, their social media pages, and how they advertise. Over-copying how your competitors advertise. Using low-quality visuals (graphics, videos, and animations). Using too much texts (words) in your advertising post. Not targeting a broad audience or being too specific about your t

“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 ch

Being exposed to trauma or abuse as a child or an adult can severely injure the human mind such that almost everyone appears to be a potential threat to our well-being. It makes us create mental walls that isolate us from fully experiencing beautiful realities and new opportunities. Evolution has taught us to be defensive or protective for our survival and this dates back to primitive times when we humans were constantly living under threat from wild animals. But today we live in safe cities with people who are mostly unarmed and we still feel like we are being hunted, this is not the best way to live - it's abnormal. Critical thinking is not negative thinking. Negative thinking is feeling like people are out to get us or the world's against us. Critical thinking on the other hand is considering the kind of impact that our actions or inaction under certain circumstances can have on us. To avoid being victims of our own perspectives, it is essential that we always keep an open-m

Whether you like it or not, you will always need different financial services to help meet your changing needs as you grow older.  This is the reality, especially if you are an adult between 30 and 65 years, because you are most likely to experience several life changes e.g. job promotions, getting married, becoming a parent, moving into your first home, divorce, losing a parent in-law and retirement to mention a few.  Let's consider 3 scenarios for more clarity: 1. You get a new promotion at work; with this change your salary, tax, and spending habits increase. There are specific financial products to help you manage this change effectively.  2. You recently got married; with this change, your desire to have your own house increases. There's also a  financial product designed to ensure that you achieve this.  3. You have a new child or children; with this change your duty to give your children a good start in life with respect to quality education becomes priority. Yet again,

1. Get Serious About Relationships: Check on your old friends from time to time and offer them support. They could be former work colleagues, class mates, or people you grew up with. Ignore your ego and put your social media and mobile airtime to good use. You never know what opportunities you're missing by not doing this.  2. Improve Your Personality: Embrace new ways of thinking, use criticism as motivation, fix your personality flaws, read books that develop your mind, make friends with a stranger, do something for someone who can't repay you, attend events outside your industry, follow positive influencers on social media and be humble enough to seek feedback.  3. Learn From Strangers: Everyone, including those younger than you knows something you don't know. Listen to discussions, ask questions, and be curious to learn about what seems strange to you. You might just discover something very useful to you because it's possible for you to have a problem and not know i
