Organizations become very successful and rich
because they plan for success, profit and growth. Every year, the leadership
and management of every progressive business will sit down and plan the
strategy for growth, progress and profitability for their business. If they
fail to do this, the business will soon die. The reason why they do this is
because it's been proven over time as a wise behaviour that works.
Success and profit in life is hardly accidental, it
must be planned and deliberately executed. This is how businesses grow and earn
billions of dollars annually, hence become respected and valued worldwide.
Successful businesses plan for success.
The same principle of planning for profit business organizations
apply to become multibillion dollar worth is the same principle you need as a
person to become a multibillionaire. Your personal success, profiting and
growth must be planned if you want to be great and successful in life. If it
works for business enterprises, it will definitely work for you as an individual.
Becoming a billionaire in life is very easy if you
have your personal plans for success, profit and healthy growth into billions.
Unfortunately, many of us have no personal plans, strategy or ambition for
multibillion dollar successes. We mostly think of survival and that's all we
get – survival. Many of us can never become legitimate billionaires not because
it's impossible but because we cannot attract into our lives what we don't
think about, plan for and work for in this life.
The thinking of a billionaire is different from the
thinking of a millionaire and it's definitely different from the thinking of
someone who just wants to pay bills and survive through life.
The differences in these thought patterns will
influence our choices, behaviours, decisions, activities, attitude and
eventually, our results.
Becoming a billionaire is not about where you are,
but how you think.
Multibillion dollar Companies don't manufacture
money, customers and clients give it to them, you can't manufacture money too;
you must earn money from your customers and clients of life. Do you even know
who they are?
Successful organizations are also known for high
quality, needed product or service. To become successful in life, you must be
known for something useful, valuable and needed by those who can reward you.
Successful organizations don't also interact and
invest in everybody, they interact and invest in their target audience; they
invest in their rewards. The days of mass marketing is gone, investment and
communication is now tailor made to a specific and pre-defined audience, it's
not a matter of discrimination, it's about efficiency and focus.
Also, successful organizations don't just employ any
applicant, they employ applicants who can add the needed value to their growth
and profit ambition. They make room and create positions and offices for these
people within their space. They don't make room for these people because they
have so much space, they make room for these people because these people add
value to their ambition. These people have what they need for them to achieve
their success plans.
Dear friend, who are you making room for in your
life space? Who do you permit into your life? Think through very quickly
all the people you make time for in your life, what is their significance and
importance to your progress, profiting and good growth?
Your time is too valuable to share with people who
add no value to you. Never spend too much time with needy people, just meet
their needs according to your ability and move on.
Successful organizations take care of the needy too,
it's called corporate social responsibility, but they never make room for the
needy within their business structure, they never allow into their system
people that can't add value. They care for them though, but don't create office
spaces for them.
Dear friend if you really want to be successful,
never create space or room in your life for anyone that can't add relevant
value to your success.
Anyone you create time for must really have
something you need for your own success in life. Time is more valuable than
cash, give cash and substances to the needy and those who need your help, but
create time for the useful persons.
I mean let's face the truth, before you can really
carry anyone, you must be standing solidly on your own two feet as well. To
grow others, you can't ignore or disdain your own growth needs too.
In today's world, no individual or business can
succeed alone without support from others. To attract and retain all the
valuable people you need for your profiting in life, you must apply the
following principles
1. Decide that one thing you want to do
and be known for in this life, and pour your whole life into it. Don't waste
your time doing many things, you don't have much time, focus on one thing and
give your all to it. Decide and make up your mind to be the best
in the world doing what you've chosen to do and do it with the whole of your
might, strength and life.
2. Identify people who have the
knowledge, skills, capacity, experience and access for the things you need for
your future success and connect with them. Go for them, seek for them and
connect with them. Don't be shy, intimidated or too proud to find
these destiny helpers. If you don't make the move, it's your loss and your eventual
regret. Don't be docile, make the move today, you'll be glad
you did in the long run.
3. Reward these people for anything they
do for you. In cash or in kind reward your destiny helpers just as successful
organizations reward their employees. When someone adds real value to you and
your life and you reward them, they feel appreciated and
cherished and every time you need them, they'll prioritise you. That's how life
is, even God appreciates appreciation.
4. Be consistent in purpose and character,
let them know you for who you are. Stand for something, let them be sure whom
they're dealing with. Don't be a pretender or have multiple personalities.
They may not absolutely agree with what you stand
for, but they know what you stand for, that naturally will make trust possible.
When people are sure of your character, they commit to you. You
need not be perfect, just stand for something and make your stand
clear. Be trustworthy.
5. Pay attention to their emotional,
psychological and social needs. We all want to be loved. When you connect with
your destiny helpers, pay attention to the emotional needs and desires in their
lives. Remember their birthdays, wedding anniversaries, attend
their occasions, be there for them at the hospital, and be at their events. It
shows you sincerely care and it's not just about what you want to
get. By so doing, you'll get more out of them.
6. Show and genuinely care about their
own dreams, vision and ambition in life. Discuss it occasionally and if there's
anything you can do or give to support their own dreams don't hesitate to
offer. Let your relationship be symbiotic, not parasitic, care
about their visions and dreams as well.
7. Lastly, be grateful. Be thankful,
appreciate them. Say thank you when they help you or do something meaningful
for you. Send thank you text messages, and commend them publicly.
With this, you'll retain your greatest destiny helpers, not only
will they support you, they'll invite more helpers into your life.
Your destiny helper may be your employer, your
friend, your spouse, your employee, your subordinate, a mentor or someone
making good success in your line of profession or interest. Let these people
occupy the space and time in your life don't waste your time and life with
people that are not really valuable to your destiny, you are accountable to
your maker, be a good steward of time.
My dear friend, all things are lawful but not all
things are expedient, there is no crime in having lots of friends, but how
profitable is this habit? You'll spend most of your time managing all these
friends; responding to their requests and demands and it'll wear you out and at
the end of the day, you've accomplished nothing.
I challenge you this morning to do a list of not more
than 5 destiny helpers. Think about your life and your dreams and the kind of
future you want, who would your destiny helpers be? Who can help you, support
you or direct you towards your dream success? Make the connection today and
change your story.
