Don`t wait for opportunities.Create them !!

They say you have : to lose yourself in the moment ,live the moment and seize the moment,for opportunity knocks once in a life time .Yes opportunities are many but there are those that breed more opportunities,those that  change our lives in a positive manner,those that motivate and inspire others.When an opportunity knocks do not just "open " the doors ,instead open them wide and explore.Many of us come across opportunities but give up along the way .You will agree with me  that we let go of a lot of opportunities because we are expected to complete application forms,to meet the required qualifications ,to carry out medical tests and at times to posses certain specific traits .At times we are even expected to move from our comfort zone  and  in worst cases we have to compromise on our personal values. All theses challenges tend to hinder many of us  from fully exploiting our potential .Such challenges shut us out and reduce our success possibilities, but if we approach opportunities with the future in mind ,if we start with the end in mind we will realize that we are powerful beyond measure. My first trip to Europe (Sweden ) was a challenging one as i had to pay  for a number of  expenses including the visa .I had to mobilize both financial and non financial resources.Back then i was still unemployed ,as a result i had to humble myself and carry a sponsorship sheet and ask for contributions from those that i knew and in many instances from people i did not even know.It was indeed a tough and somewhat embarrassing  period but because i had the future in mind i humbled myself. I did everything that was required to make  my participation in the World Youth Convention a reality.  It was from that time in 2010 that more opportunities have come my way and i have explored the world, with Denmark and Lebanon being my recently visited places due to my leadership abilities and motivational speaking passion .All you need to do is to compliment the opportunity with efforts .When opportunities are fully exploited your motivation is increased and you are able to set big and powerful goals .For its not what a goal is that matters but what a goal does .Beyond waiting and seeking opportunities you have to create them yourself .So start now and be creative !!

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

WHICH OLIVER ARE YOU?

Many a times people  make us feel like we are just but some 21st Century living version of Charles Dickens Oliver Twist .Always asking for more and never getting out of the poverty trap. This happens because we tend to live life focusing on the problems and challenges that come with it .When we are imprisoned by dire circumstances we lose confidence and behave more like desperate naïve individuals whose lives are just but like reeds shaken by the wind for fear closes our eyes, failure shuts us out from the world of success and poverty enslaves our minds .Open your eyes and you will realise that you have the potential to be respected like Oliver Mtukudzi (international icon and renowned Zimbabwean musician) and the power to be celebrated like Oliver Tambo (a South African liberation hero and a champion of democracy and equality ).The  are some many Oliver`s out there and all of us have the potential to be the best Oliver and this we can achieve by occupying time ...

Creating Valuable People Relations part 1

Most organizations are evaluated using the value of assets that the organization has.  People are busy valuing their worth using the financial and material possessions that they have. This is an easy way of evaluating the worth of an organization that can be easily ascertained and accepted across board. While money and possessions determine our worth there is one great resource which is the base and foundation of all resources that a lot of people hardly consider if at all they consider it. This foundation and basic resource is the Human Capital/ Resource of an individual or organizations. Many contemporary writers and authorities on leadership and management have grasped this fundamental truth and now prescribe it to organizations and leaders whom they advise. John C Maxwell always say that, “everything rises and falls on leadership.”  I totally subscribe to his assertion. It is a leader’s attitude towards his people that determines the productivity of his people. There are...
