Advertise to yourself



YOU ARE A BRAND 

Apple, Blackberry, Nokia, BMW, Ferrari, Toyota, Chevrolet, Giorgio Armani, Dolce and Gabbana , Gucci, Louis Vuitton ,Ernest and Young, Facebook and Twitter. On a day to day basis we find ourselves exposed to  hearing or seeing most of  the above leading brands.Some brands are specific to countries and are associated with certain groups or classes of people in the society whilst others are popular because of their quality, accessibility, durability, price and who or what people associate them with. One of the most surviving brands is probably the Coca-cola soft drink which and been there since the 1886 and has continued to be consumed  and expand  and command a larger market share.If we can brand product and they become successful,they enrich us why cant we also brand ourselves at  individuals levels?  

As human beings we tend to forget that beyond all these man made brands there is a bigger brand and product which is you ,for we are all moving brand ourselves.What or who we are associated with determines if we can have a lasting impression and goodwill  like Coca-cola .Human beings are the most important brand in the world. The difference between influential people and those who are not is in the individual ability to advertise.Before you advertise to other people , you should always start by advertising to yourself as this determines your value as a product.Self advertising increases your level of self-motivation.With levels of self motivation ,we unleash the potential in us ,we expand demand for our services ,we gain competitiveness and remain relevant . We become great brands when we start by advertising to ourselves, for without advertising our goals to ourselves, we fail to realize that it’s our day, our time our moment to succeed. If you don't believe in yourself, who then do you think will do so? As a brand always seek to start the by painting a picture of what you want to achieve.You are the picture frame and the characters in the picture are the people surrounding you .They determine whether the picture is beautiful or dull looking and whether it shall be your own version of  the Monalisa and be marveled at for centuries or it will be a picture to forget .

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

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.

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
