ROCK YOUR WORLD!
6 LESSONS LEARNT FROM MICHEAL JACKSON
F rom time to time I am drawn to write about events happening in the broader society. In the first 24 hours since his death the media coverage of his death has been unbelieveable. As a matter of fact, I switched on my radio set and my jaws nearly dropped from discovering the fact that every radio station in the country were playing Michael Jackson’s songs at the same time. Even our print media has been infected by the temptation to do a story on Michael Jackson’s death. In the midst of the tears, tributes and loss, I see some core motivational lessons that might well be lost in the glitter and the hype.
Lesson 1
Start Early: He was born with a voice that will heal the world and it was discovered early enough. He started singing at the age of 5, started dancing at the age of 8, debuted as a pro at 11 as a member of Jackson 5 band in 1969.The discovery of one’s career path early enough will always push you into the path of success. Self-knowledge is the most critical prerequisite needed in becoming an achiever. If you don’t discover what you carry early enough you will be carried away by life’s activities. Your self-knowledge should not be based on what other people think of you. Never allow what people think, feel or say about you to become your reality. MJ identified his strength zone and stuck to it till his dieing day.
Lesson 2
Pursue Mastery: No doubt Jackson was a thriller in his craft, his serenading voice rocked our world and his world-class music offerings made the world a better place. He pursued his talent and became a master at it. For a Tiger woods it s golf, for a Funke Akindele its acting movies, for me its inspiring people through the words of my mouth to live their best lives. Mastery means being exceptionally skilled, competent and proficient in a craft. Jackson was an all rounder-a singer, composer, performer, dancer and entrepreneur. Fans around the world were stunned by the news of his death, his 1982 album thriller which remains the biggest selling album of all time went immediately to number one in the I tune chart, while twitter the online messaging service was receiving 5,000 messages a minute. That’s what mastery can do for you; it will make you a mystery to your world.
Lesson 3
Make Impact: In the words of Odia Ofeimun a Nigerian literary critic:’Michael Jackson is one of the greatest musicians of the century, because he pulled all the resources of the 20th century into his music”. That’s impact. It’s been said time and again that it’s your impact that determines your importance. The moon walking pop star sold more than 61million albums in the U.S, during his life time he won 13 Grammies, drove the growth of music videos, vaulting popular cable channel’s growth MTV into the mainstream .His album-thriller is still the second best selling album of all time. According to Judy Mc grath CEO of Viacom inc’s MTV networks:” The ratings thriller got were three or four times what they were, every time the video came on”. Jackson’s influence and brand affinity was so strong that Walt Disney hitched his wagon to his star in 1986,opening a 3d movie at its park called:’ Captain Eo ‘
Lesson 4
Work on your character: like every one of us on the face of the earth, Jackson had his own flaws and frailties. In 1983 he was accused of molesting a 13 years old boy. This had a hard blow on his reputation, celebrity status, and personal brand. In the words of Michael Levine, his publicist at that time: ‘That kind of represents the beginning of walk down a tragic path finanacially, spiritually, physiologically and legally.” He settled with the boy’s family, but other accounts of his alleged pedophilia began to emerge. In 2003, Jackson was arrested and charged for allegedly molesting another 13 years old boy. The 2005 trial, ultimately ended in an acquittal and brought to light more strains in his character and public perception.
Lesson 5
Take charge of your finances: Despite his fame and fortune, he still had a great challenge taking charge of his finance. He made a lot of money that might just last for a lifetime, but it wasn’t just enough. One forensic accountant testified that the singer had an “ongoing cash crisis”. According to Economic Times. Indian times.com, its been reported that he died in $400 million dollars debt. Alvin Malnik his former financial adviser said in an interview with Newyork times 2006:’I think that Michael never had any concept of fiscal responsibility, there was no planning in terms of how much he should spend .For Michael it was whatever he wanted at the time he wanted”. Gaining financial mastery means you trace your expenses, you don’t spend on impulse and you are disciplined enough to stick to these things.
Lesson 6
Self Image is everything: The sorry sight of Jackson while he was alive is a vital lesson for those who desire to recreate themselves. He lived in a racist society where a colored person with or without accomplishment was regarded as a second-class citizen. His way of escape was to do a plastic surgery so he could look ‘White’. Obama didn’t have to change the color of his skin to be accepted same applies to the likes of Oprah.The way you perceive yourself is the way others will perceive you. Never judge yourself based on your current realities. Be a good judge of yourself and never sell yourself short. Micheal ruled his world just in 5oyears it, s as if he was here for 1000 years this a function of his contribution to his world. Are you rocking your world?

SUCCESS SECRETS OF SUPER ACHIEVERS 1
|
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
EPITOME OF ENTERPRISE
There is no better time than now to recognize and push to the front burner of our minds the enterprising dogged spirit of the Nigerian. Inspite of the grisly experience we are made to go through everyday. The Nigerian still soars high above all fierce challenges and strives to live their best life. As the gospel of rebranding Nigeria is being preached, it’s a rule of thumb to showcase Nigerians who are blazing the trail, singing the song of victory in the face of gloom and doom, and like Oprah says:’ Living their lives with passion”. If the government is serious about rebranding, then its imperative to focus their lens on changing the way the Nigerian is being perceived by other comity of nations. One of the hallmarks of branding is perception.
His face is very recognizable for whetting our humdrum days with his humorous jokes, to his ever ready smooth delivery and affable personality. Gbenga Adeyinka is one humour merchant who has turned his love affair with stand up comedy into a money spinning venture, and his not even done yet, as he is enriching other fresh comedians with his wealth of knowledge and experience, and he is moving fast on the BRT lane to success. Let’s join the CFR in class for laffmattazz 101
LESSON 1:
BEGIN WITH LITTLE BEGINNINGS
Every success story is written as scenes, which later grows into acts. Gbenga Adeyinka started at the lower rung of the ladder of life. Back then at University of Lagos where he studied English language, he joined a drama group called: THEATRE 15,where he was able to hone his budding talents. There was a time in his life, where he had to work in a construction company. Its been said that small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. The rave of the moment TIMAYA started his music career being paid stipends as performance fees today, he earns as much as 1.2m per gig. According to the veteran king of comedy, Ali baba:’For every opportunity you get, don’t let it slip away, maximize it and increase your rating.’Fela durotoye the renowned sought after motivational speaker once said:’ Dream big, start small and grow fast’
LESSON 2
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
It was Tom Peters the erudite management consultant who said:’ if you are not distinct, you will soon go extinct’. Gbenga Adeyinka is the only Nigerian comedian that comes on stage and greets you in different languages and this makes him different. He also brands calls himself CFR Comedian of the federal republic. As a career coach, I often ask my clients this question:’ what makes you different from the crowd?” It is your differentiation that differentiates you from others.
LESSON 3
FIND A NEED AND FILL IT
The CFR once said:’ its been proven medically that when you frown your face gets wrinkled faster and when you smile your face and your muscle gets stretched. Comedians are so important now in Nigeria because of the tension “. Every business mogul like Donald trump and Richard Brandson will tell you there is no business until you find a need and fill it. Write down five needs you can meet in your environment and fill it.
LESSON 4
EMBRACE P.D.P
Yes! Embrace P.D.P –personal development plan
Being current is the currency you need to transact the business of life. A CNN slogan says:’You are what you know’. Gbenga Adeyinka is known for his versatility and this is drawn from his commitment to continuous and never-ending improvement. According to him: ‘its not the card that gets you customers, it’s the humour in you. The best way to market yourself is what comes out of your mouth’. It’s imperative to invest in your personal growth and development.
LESSON 5
MARKETING IS KEY
In the words of Sam Adeyemi:’Don’t wink in the dark because nobody will take notice of you always make noise about your products and services’. Gbenga Adeyinka epitomizes this quotation. As a shrewd businessman, he has a TV programme called LAFFMATAZZ and also a magazine that bears that same name, which helps him to market his brand to his audience. Effective Marketing entails practicing the P.A.P principle, which symbolizes:
P-Proximity: How close to your client is your business?
A-Acessibility: How reachable is your business to your client and customers?
P-Publicity: How known to the public is your business?
As a syndicated columnist one of the ways I “make noise” about what I do is by writing for national dailies and magazines and its really paying off as I get to smile to the bank.
LESSON 6
CREATE OPPORTUNTIES FOR OTHERS
You are not rich until you enrich others with your wealth. Whatever you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. Gbenga Adeyinka has helped up other comedians write their names in gold by featuring them in his shows, TV programmes and Magazine. You will be remembered not for your duration on earth but for your donation to humanity. Can you dare help some deprived men and women find out they are mighty and great after all? You can be the sky that will house the stars of others. Go and rule your world!

THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY 3
THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY 3
Life is a blank canvass and its up to you to paint your dreams and aspirations. Remember you only have one shot at life and it is imperative to convert it into a goal. I read the story of how an oyster is able to form pearls. When sands enter into the shell of an oyster down at the bottom of the sea, the oyster becomes uncomfortable and irritated because of this foreign body. In trying to expel this irritants it secretes some fluid that later harden to form pearls. Eventually, when the oyster dies, the pearl becomes invaluable. The pain of the oyster is its opportunity to form precious pearls. Whatever you are going through in life is an opportunity that leads to your place of promotion. According to Les brown: ‘If you view all the things that happens to you, both good and bad as opportunities then you operate on a higher level of consciousness’.
Great people are great not because they are born great, but they often heed to the clarion call, stepping on life’s platform to tell their stories so that others can be given fresh hopes to run life’s race.
. Like the story of a natal child in the hands of a caring mother, she watched her brain child, GENEVIEVE MAGAZINE, enlarged and yielding more fruits before her very own eyes. But it has not always been this exciting and splendid. The last couple of years had been a learning curve for her, no thanks to the high mortality rate of magazines in the country. In her words: ‘I just keep going inspite of everyday travails. It explains why I no longer wonder when the millions will roll in’. From the beginning she had a tough task of convincing a number of people and organisation that she could do it. Starting a business at 45 when others her age were already working on their pension plans wasn’t the easiest thing. Betty Irabor is perked up and as well pursuing her dreams. Today, she is on the forefront of waging war against breast cancer through her pink ball project helping women to step into their authentic role and live their best life.
Whatever your lot might have been in life, you can write a new story and become a better you. In the words of Diana Ross:’ My travails led me to where I am today, sometimes these steps have felt painful and difficult but led me to greater happiness and opportunities’.
In 1997, when he actualised his dream of becoming a reputable public relations- personality, he neither had a home of his own nor money in his pocket. He was squatting then with a cousin of his at Ogba Ikeja in Lagos. In his words:’The question then was that why should somebody who did not even have a money of his own think of setting up a company, when his contemporaries were travelling out of the country’. Presently Mr Adetokunbo Modupe head consultant TPT LTD is a epitomizes, doggedness, determination and steel will.He now administers a business empire that ranks among the top marketing communications companies in Nigeria.
Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie industry is growing despite not having the requisite resources and support. In the industry, there are 2 guys who are making every one drop their jaws.Peiople never stop to be amazed at Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki) and Osita Iheme(pawpaw).Being interestingly diminutive reminds one of Hollywood’s Gary Coleman .It is incredible how this guys have turned their statures into great opportunities. They are presently among the highest paid in the industry earning as much as two million naira per movie.This goes to endorse the saying that in every difficulty lies an equivalent opportunity.
When they acquired their office, they had to wait for months to get the properties that will enable them function properly. Also they had to rely on good will which their job needs. The dynamic duo of Kenny Ogungbe and Dayo Adeneye are known for contributing to the Nigerian entertainment industry through their company:KENNIS MUSIC.Every of your pain, predicament, and problems, will one day become a best-selling story that people will be pay to listen to. So , never ever give up on your dreams because you are not producing the results you have projected. Roll your sleeves, get to work and keep working at it. Surely the dream shall speak and I will read your own success story .Go and rule your world!

THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY
THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY
Whether you are aware or not you a cast in a movie called LIFE starring you as the major character. God is the director of this movie , but he has given you the expensive privilege to be the script writer of this movie. As the director of this movie,he had already pre determined the first act of the movie, therefore you can’t choose the family you are born to ,you can’t choose your social status or background , you can’t choose your physical stature or complexion , you cannot choose the circumstances surrounding your birth. But conversely, you can choose how the story of the movie of your life will turn out. Perhaps it might become a block buster, chart breaker, which will garner awards or it might end up as a movie which will gather no mention in life’s hall of fame. All this is a function of deciding to use all the creator has wired within you in order to make the remaining part of the story of your life,s movie become a comedy rather than a bitter tragedy. Camera, lights, action.As a sage once said, Everyday is an opportunity to make a new happy ending.
Reading the proceeding lines of this article will help you especially if you are in the crossroads of life, not knowing how your life will turn out. You can be inspired by the stories I will be sharing with you of ordinary people who were able to carve out glory out of their life’s story.
SCENE 1
They respectively dropped out of school close to graduation in pursuit of their destinies as rappers. parental persecution followed this choice .They made the studio their home for well over a year and their common diet was akara and bread. Those were those days they were broke but happy. Rooftop MCS Kunle Adeyoola and Laitan Hughes are now living the life. Much has changed. They are on top of their game and since returned to family richly welcomed and happily celebrated. They are on the A list of music makers who are listed among artistes smiling to the bank.
SCENE 2
I was invited to be part of ENRICH YOUR LIFE SEMINAR powered by MTN with the renowned Les Brown as the guest speaker. More than 2 decades ago, nobody will give Les a chance. He was labeled as dumb and mentally retarded. He was dumped with his twin brother Wes by their biological mother. Help came their way as they were adoptetd by a living angel called Mamie brown a middle class woman who does not even have a university education. She became their mother and coach in the university of life.Les has turned out to be a man of many parts. He started by being a DJ to being a radio on air personality, to being a legislator , from there he rose to become a renowned motivational speaker and bestselling author of two books.He once said,Other people,s opinionof you does not have to be your reality.
SCENE 3
He got an early jolt in life when he was barely eight years old, he lost his father .Since then life had been a struggle.He was raised by his mother a widow who had neither education nor financial means. Barely ten years old he acquired the thirst to achieve from hawking cold drinks and biscuits on the streets of lagos to support his mother. Today, Dayo Olomu is a Motivational speaker, trainer, media consultant, publisher , and entrepreneur.He was listed among UK ,s who is who of black achievers published in 1999 and 2000.
EPILOGUE
For the past four years I have dedicated my life to helping people become goal scorers in the game of life. When I started out as a motivational speaker, career coach and syndicated columnist, I encountered a whole lot of rejections. I recall those days I would go hungry just to attend seminars and to buy books.Trekking long distances just because I couldn’t afford to pay transport fare in order to attend events. Presently, things have changed and are still changing. I run a career coaching outfit where we coach high profile celebs and individuals how to live a life of peak performance.

Whether you are aware or not you a cast in a movie called LIFE starring you as the major character. God is the director of this movie , but he has given you the expensive privilege to be the script writer of this movie. As the director of this movie,he had already pre determined the first act of the movie, therefore you can’t choose the family you are born to ,you can’t choose your social status or background , you can’t choose your physical stature or complexion , you cannot choose the circumstances surrounding your birth. But conversely, you can choose how the story of the movie of your life will turn out. Perhaps it might become a block buster, chart breaker, which will garner awards or it might end up as a movie which will gather no mention in life’s hall of fame. All this is a function of deciding to use all the creator has wired within you in order to make the remaining part of the story of your life,s movie become a comedy rather than a bitter tragedy. Camera, lights, action.As a sage once said, Everyday is an opportunity to make a new happy ending.
Reading the proceeding lines of this article will help you especially if you are in the crossroads of life, not knowing how your life will turn out. You can be inspired by the stories I will be sharing with you of ordinary people who were able to carve out glory out of their life’s story.
SCENE 1
They respectively dropped out of school close to graduation in pursuit of their destinies as rappers. parental persecution followed this choice .They made the studio their home for well over a year and their common diet was akara and bread. Those were those days they were broke but happy. Rooftop MCS Kunle Adeyoola and Laitan Hughes are now living the life. Much has changed. They are on top of their game and since returned to family richly welcomed and happily celebrated. They are on the A list of music makers who are listed among artistes smiling to the bank.
SCENE 2
I was invited to be part of ENRICH YOUR LIFE SEMINAR powered by MTN with the renowned Les Brown as the guest speaker. More than 2 decades ago, nobody will give Les a chance. He was labeled as dumb and mentally retarded. He was dumped with his twin brother Wes by their biological mother. Help came their way as they were adoptetd by a living angel called Mamie brown a middle class woman who does not even have a university education. She became their mother and coach in the university of life.Les has turned out to be a man of many parts. He started by being a DJ to being a radio on air personality, to being a legislator , from there he rose to become a renowned motivational speaker and bestselling author of two books.He once said,Other people,s opinionof you does not have to be your reality.
SCENE 3
He got an early jolt in life when he was barely eight years old, he lost his father .Since then life had been a struggle.He was raised by his mother a widow who had neither education nor financial means. Barely ten years old he acquired the thirst to achieve from hawking cold drinks and biscuits on the streets of lagos to support his mother. Today, Dayo Olomu is a Motivational speaker, trainer, media consultant, publisher , and entrepreneur.He was listed among UK ,s who is who of black achievers published in 1999 and 2000.
EPILOGUE
For the past four years I have dedicated my life to helping people become goal scorers in the game of life. When I started out as a motivational speaker, career coach and syndicated columnist, I encountered a whole lot of rejections. I recall those days I would go hungry just to attend seminars and to buy books.Trekking long distances just because I couldn’t afford to pay transport fare in order to attend events. Presently, things have changed and are still changing. I run a career coaching outfit where we coach high profile celebs and individuals how to live a life of peak performance. I have speaking engagements at least once a week, I grant media interviews which were not coming years back, and a columnist to over twenty publications including national dailies and magazines.All this didn’t happen over night but over time. Today I profit form my passion and help put smile on people’s faces. You too can rise to be an icon that people will look up to.I believe in you. We will read your own success story. Go and rule your world!

THE TOP 10 LAWS OF IDEA
Dele momodu was tired of the way the western press represented the affairs of Africa .Dele decided to create a magazine that will showcase the beautiful colours , achievements and success stories of many Africans.His desire was to publish an African magazine for Africans and to create a forum where the real picture of Africa would be represented to the world.That was how the idea of ovation was birthed. All achievements, all earned wealth, have their beginning in an idea. So what you need for starters may not be that mused over money, connection or wealth. Money does not answer to idea, idea answers to money. I recall the fix I found myself in while trying to start out my motivational newsletter, which has become a toast of many. I thought of minimizing cost as well as maximizing profit. I got the idea of people placing adverts on the newsletter and paying a token for it. Immediately, I went out to work on this idea .Suprisingly, I used the money meant for the ads to produce the newsletter, without spending a dime of my own money.
LAW 1
Idea starts with you
.An idea starts with the individual, that is why the word begins with the letter I. Every successful entrepreneur is an embodiment of an idea which becomes a strong part of their personal identity. Mention Bunmi davies, and Stand up Nigeria(S.U.N) comedy show comes to mind. Mention Genevieve magazine and you immediately think of Betty irabor.An idea is birthed on a person’s womb, but it does not end there.Micheal dell, the computer magnate said:’ When you start a company it’s a very personal thing.”
LAW 2
Ideas need a host.
An idea need s some one to accommodate it and initiate it into existence. Without a host an idea cannot manifest. The idea of Business day was birthed in the mind of an individual who decided to initiate it into a worthwhile information product. When an idea unveils itself to you , and you ignore it, it leaves to find another host.Every renowned entrepreneur played host to an idea which in turn made them rich.
Law 3
Ideas needs someone’s life to live
Ideas do not have a life of their own, so they need the life of the host to grow and blossom.This means the host of the idea needs to give it attention, dedication, and commitment.That is why you find out that all successful business people are committed to making their business thrive .They are sold out to the business with their life and this gives room for the business to soar and reach for the skies.
Law 4
Ideas becomes you.
Think of Bill gates and Microsoft flashes in your mind. Think of Microsoft and Bill gates image comes to the fore. Warren buffet is Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway is warren buffet. When people think of the idea your name must surfaces, and when your name shows up the idea must also be seen.
Law 5
Ideas never start big
Ideas expand overtime not over night. That is essential never to downplay the days of small beginnings.To make it big you must start small.I remember coaching a young man who wanted to venture into public speaking .I advised him to start with at least ten people he can be speaking to every week. Great things are birthed on a small scale.
LAW 6
Ideas needs people
Yes! The idea starts with you, but it must grow beyond you. You need to leverage on people’s expertise if your idea must grow wings and fly high. Sit down with teacher, trader and foremen and they will tell you that people skills make the difference between those who succeed and those who don’t. All of life’s successes comes from initiating relationships with the right people and then strengthening those relationships by using good people skills.
LAW 7
Ideas has to be pursued
The proof that you believe in an idea is that you are committed to pursuing it till it works. You need to understand that racing to the top won’t occur immediately. When you pursue the idea, commit to the plan , then nothing shall be impossible to attain. Your belief in your idea is the vital it needs to be revitalized.
LAW 8
Idea works with a plan
You need a plan to bring your idea into reality.To make your idea intelligible to people , you need to draft it i.e put into into pen and paper.Its not just enough to think it, you must also do well to ink it.Ideas do not come to fruition without embracing the virtue called planning.
LAW 9
Ideas feeds on knowledge
It is what you know that gives you an edge in life’s center stage. Its vital to know everything about your idea. The more intelligent you are, the bigger the idea. Equip your mind, renew your mind ,.An idea cannot grow beyond the knowledge you’ve fed it with.Read , study, and stretch your mind so as to become a resource person in the pursuit of your idea.
LAW 10
Ideas move when you move
Henry ford’s idea made cars available for all, philo fansworth’s idea created the tv.What will your idea create? Never wait till you have all it takes to get started. You already have what it takes to succeed. ‘But I don’t have what it takes” start with what you have.Move! take action!, make ie happen! Talk to people who can add and multiply the grandeur and in the idea you are carrying within you.All you have is all you need to start. The world is waiting for your idea.Go and rule your world.Order for my ideas manual:THE PATHWAY TO PEAK PERFORMANCE.It will fast track you into success.
