The Things Side Chics Do To Prove Their Fuckery


So, I have had a recent development on my facebook page. Lots of side chics proving their muscles.
Don't be surprised, nowadays a side chic can comfortably confront the wife and ask her why she is sleeping with her side cock. LOL.

I even read that men now watch their wives beaten up by side chics. SMH

The things side chic do for fuckery, they now have the bouyancy to rant about their achivements being a side chic and disclose how deeply they have entrapped the man to tell them the problems and faults of the wife. In other words, they become the secret keeper and the determinant of how a man treats his wife.

The things side chic do for fuckery, they are proud to tell and show the world how they saved the marriage of the the side cock. They now proudly say " I told him to go meet his wife"

S--H--O--C--K--E--R...
Hello B***ch, you will ALWAYS be a side chic. If he had wanted you, he wouldn't have gotten a separate sim for your communication only. He wouldn't have passworded his phones just to keep the darting eyes of his queen away. He would have proudly showed you off to his family instead of the wife.

You don't think so? Duh!
You think he will simply divorce his wife and go pay your dowry just because you give him 6-9 pose? Or because you suck his D while he is taking a shower. Oh yeah, he tells you his wife's weak points? Dear side chic, he is simply doing all this to own you and stop you from noticing your own husband. 

He wept when you told him you were done, have you heard of crocodile's tears? He would do those things he did for you to the girl next door.

Grow up! And leave another woman's husband alone! 
Stop allowing happenings that will make you write and unneccessary epistle about being used, dumped and irrelavant achievement in the journey of your fuckery with another woman's husband!

Be done!

Dear Feminists, Just Because Your Marriage Didn't Work Doesn't Mean Other Ladies Shouldn't Get Married


I am tired. I am tired of seeing "men" as only the problem in a relationship. It is okay to fight for girls against rape, assault, battery and the rest but please don't scare girls away from marriage. 
If your marriage didn't work, it doesn't mean other people's marriages won't work. Leave ladies who have decided to be a stay-at-home mom alone, leave ladies who have decided to have a joint account with their husband alone, leave ladies who have decided to kneel while serving their husband's food alone. Leave those who can't take a decision without their husband alone. Please, leave them alone.

Some ladies have decided to be "submissive", leave them alone. Don't go about on social media trying to paint men as the only problems in marriage. Stop campaign against decent respect in marriage. Stop using the fight against rape, assault, battery and domestic violence as a weapon for women to deny their husbands sex.

Men too are abused in marriage. Men too suffer in marriages. Men too are assaulted and raped in marriages. You don't hear this because you have structured your mind to believe that only women suffer these things.

These men keep silent because the society expects them to "man" up always. To be strong even when they are weak. To show fierce even when all they wanna do is lean on a shoulder.

And just because your marriage didn't work doesn't mean you should discourage other women from going into marriage. Leave women who have decided to be married alone.
Please!

My Husband Told Me He Would Come Pick Us After Two Years; It's Been 14 Years Now...


And she stood at the entrance of local government secretariat today, looking scared, tired and losing it. I was at the local government secretariat to pick up my PVC, when I met this woman with two kids. She greeted me with a fading voice and requested I helped her with "something" to feed herself and her children. 
I had dipped my hands in my pocket but something inside me told me to ask questions. And she blurted...
"Iya mi, Oko mi lo somi da bayi" meaning it is my husband who has turned me to this.
"Ah ah, Oko yin bawo, kiloshele? I probed
And then she told me the story of how her husband, the father of her three kids left her and the children for America, how he promised to  come back for them after two years and it's been fourteen years already.
This baffled me. But I didn't want to sound too judgemental, I wanted to know if he took on his responsibilities or if simply he didn't keep in  touch. And she told me that for five years after he travelled, he didn't call nor send any money. Infact, he got in touch the sixth year after he had left through his old friend, he sent about N50,000 naira at first, and he later started sending N10,000 which was not constant. I asked if she was working or trading, and that was when I knew her shop was first burgled in Oshodi before being destroyed because of the infrastrustural development by the Lagos state government in Oshodi. 
"I have nothing to fetch me money now" She lamented.
She has used up all her savings and her so-called husband has not sent any money this year. She told me if she calls that he would pick and promise to call back but won't and sometimes the wife he is married to over there picks his phone and shout at her...
My Naija people, is this fair at all? How can you leave your wife with three kids and not even look back? I understand that this goes with both gender but from my research, it is more common with the male gender. In the name of seeking greener pasture, a man will leave his wife with children promising them all the good things of life only to go there and not look back.
The eldest of her kids is 19, who just wrote jamb and I imagine, a family who can barely feed, how will she be able to raise school fees?
Dear Nigerian men, if you must go abroad, please make provisions for your immediate family. Set your wife up and ensure you check up on them regularly. Please, some of these women already know you'd get married over there for your papers, but please don't make it worse by "throwing them away". The emotional trauma of you seeing another woman is enough already. Take care of your wife and children. Believe it or not, your actions will always come back to haunt you.
You need to be there if not physically, be there emotionally. Call your family, your "oyinbo wife" can't be with you 24hours all day, for just few minutes she's away, pick your phone and say hello to the mother of your kids. Your future. Please think and make amends.

Dear Nigerians, Stop Frustrating Your Relatives Abroad...


"Brother, I need a new phone, this time I want IPhone ooo"- she said authoritatively on the phone.
We were both in a keke napep, we had previously had a little chit-chat before a phone call came in and she answered her phone. From her conversation I sensed that she was recieving an international call.
Not until, she dropped the call and told me it was her uncle who called from America, I had thought she was being owed money or something.
But I pressed further, "why do you need a new phone", I asked
She smiled, "I am tired of using this one na aunty. I have an uncle abroad, I shouldn't be using this kind of phone".
I looked at the phone she was holding, a Techno WX3Pro. I asked again, "But nothing is wrong with this phone". I collected the phone for inspection and she winked and replied me, "Aunty, my uncle is living in America, my friends are using IPhone, I want one too.
"Okay", I said. What do you do? Do you work or you are still studying?
And she told me that she just wrote the last jamb.
My eyes opened, you just finished in secondary school?
"Yes, last year!"
Before I knew it, I had gotten to my bus-stop.
I had a reflection and I was pushed to write this post.
Dear Nigerians, don't dump all your life needs on your relatives abroad.
It is a typical syndrome and a common fact amongst Nigerian fellows whose relatives are abroad that they expect these people to build a luxury for them. I find this disdainful, especially amongst average Nigerian families whose struggling relative manage to travel abroad. Once one aunty or brother manages to escape this country to find greener pastures abroad, they just automatically assume that these people will take all the household and family responsibility. The mother will ask him for money to buy aso-ebi, the father will ask him for money to buy a family land that is in dispute, the sister will ask him to send a phone, the brother will ask him for school fees. Even the niece, cousins and nephews will always ask for one thing or the other without minding where these people will get money from. Not minding if they have been given work permit, not minding if they how dirty they get their hands dirty to make ends meet.
Dear Nigerians, your relatives abroad are sojourners and they don't have it easy over there.
Some of them work everyday in the cold to earn the money you always complain of not being enough
Some of them don't have work permit, therefore they do menial jobs like washing toilets, cleaning, caring for a messy old-one to survive
Some of them can't afford a residence yet, they squat to pass everyday
Some of them have more financial challenges than you can imagine.
Please, stop frustrating these people by making ridiculous demands.
Nobody owes you anything. Just because the person is abroad doesn't mean they have to carry your cross. Let these people breathe. Don't push them to do something illegal just to satisfy you. You can live your life without depending on your relatives abroad.
It is enough, let them come home with something worthwhile.
If they offer to give, that's fine!
But please, don't make them regret making the decision to find greener pastures abroad.

Sorry Bro, You Are Fired!(Part One)

This troubled me. A lot of them slay on social media but still get to beg their parents for subscription fee. A lot of them can’t even secure a job after going to higher institutions and the few who manage to get casual jobs like cleaner, receptionist, casual worker and others still get fired from their jobs. Why were they firing them?
As a curious observer, I learnt that a lot of millennials are working just to survive. Lots of them don’t have passion for their present jobs and they are barely doing the jobs to make ends meet. So, as the Yorubas will say, Oga ta  Oga O ta, Owo alaaru ape!
This simply means that lots of millennials don’t have the visions of the companies they work for at heart. They are simply “there”. And this annoys their employers. So, I strictly observed the following as the reasons why millennials often lose it at work!
1. Lack of vision
 Lack of vision is the biggest reason why millennial employees sometimes flare out. "A lack of empathy is hurting many millennials in the workplace, because they're not understanding the circumstances of their employment from the employer's point of view,"
Millennials sometimes struggle to appreciate the bigger picture and their role in it. This can hurt their workplace performance.
Being able to think like your boss -- to see the big picture -- is vital in the workplace. If you think of yourself as nothing more than a cog in a machine, you won't exactly be irreplaceable when it comes time for layoffs.
2. Miscommunication
One common complaint about millennials is that phones and computers preempted their need to learn face-to-face communication skills. They're great at Snapchat, Facebook, twitter and the likes, but they struggle to get their point across any other way. While I don't necessarily buy into this theory, it did come up as an observation. Lots of young people can’t hold simple, reasonable conversation especially interpersonal conversations
Communication is vital in any relationship, even in sophisticated workplace; the most important communication is still done face-to-face.
Meetings, calls, interviews and sales pitches all require sharp communication and interpersonal skills. If young employees consistently look helpless in these settings, a millennial is likely to be seen as bringing less value to the company.
3. Anxiety or depression
Let's get real for a minute. Depression and anxiety are serious issues that affect millennials more than any set of generation. This is evident in the way young people commit suicide. Although there isn’t proper statistics in Nigeria but as many as 50 percent of young people have experienced symptoms of depression, and it's not like those symptoms go away once they hit the labour market.
These imbalances can make it difficult just to get out of bed in the morning -- let alone flourish in a stressful or competitive work environment. A boss who is quick to jump to conclusions could easily assume an employee with depression was lazy or disinterested.
Unfortunately, many employers in Nigeria don’t offer support to workers with depression or anxiety. As workplaces adapt, hopefully this will become less of an issue, but for now it's safe to say that suffering from mental health disorders makes it difficult to hold down a job.
4. Lack of confidence
Most employers are  basically looking for four things in every job applicant. These things are "Confidence, drive, selflessness and character." Without confidence, the other three characteristics are difficult to develop.
Self-esteem is vital in the workplace. You need to feel comfortable speaking up in meetings, presenting ideas to your boss, addressing unfamiliar people and working under stressful conditions.
Young people, particularly those who had parents who provided everything for them, may be unused to accomplishing things on their own, and therefore suffer from poor self-esteem. Unfortunately, if you don't stand up for yourself in the workplace, nobody else will.
5. The need for independence
Millennials don't like to be shortlisted. We want our bosses to trust our judgment and get out of our nose. Sometimes this even extends to working with a team. Some young people simply prefer to work independently.
For employers, of course, unwillingness to accept a hands-on management style or work well with a team can be a deal-breaker.
I have found that forcing a millennial to do something my way, on my schedule, is often a losing proposition
But, if you give millennials both freedom and ultimate responsibility, you can find a sweet spot that works. It's a lot better than having to constantly hire and fire unhappy employees.

The Workaholic Irony Of Nigerian Millennials

Many Nigerian millennials usually claim they are busy. Then ask, busy doing what?
Doing NOTHING in reality! Is this shocking? No. Many have viewed being on Facebook as work. And what do they really do on facebook?
They...
Stalk people's page
Cyber-bully people
Share false information
Dupe people
Watch porn all the time
Comment 'ha-ha' on other people's reasonable posts
Read why a celebrity bought a goat as pet
AND after all these
These same millennials end up complaining of a failed government!
And I wonder, who really failed?
You who wastes 21 hours of your everyday 24 hours doing nothing in particular?
Or you who insults the unborn genrations of people old enough to be your grandfather but because of the invincible status of the internet protection, you hide under the shield of space and bully people?
You who insult people in government but have failed to study history and get your voter's card?
Or you who beg and dupe people to buy the next subscription and recycle your stupidity...
My point is, make use of the opportunity social media presents. 
If you at least don't make money, get knowledge off it and stop being a failure because you work hard at doing nothing!
Remember, You Only Live Once!

Boys Need Empowerment Too...


For the past few years, I have watched the Nigerian society fighting for the girl child and discouraging any form of injustice against the girl child. As much as I applaud this move and solidarity for  the girl child, I want to say that it has shifted beyond just fighting for justice. 
Everywhere on social media, you see the new movement called "feminists" blasting people if they don't associate with their beliefs and philosophies about the girl child. I am particular about rights to education, social welfarism and justice for the girl child, but I beg to say that WE HAVE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THE BOY CHILD!

Look around you, every where you turn, you see empowerment for women and young girls, how about the boys? are they not human too? Don't they deserve to be empowered too? Are they not being abused on a daily basis by young female maids assigned to care for them? Are they not be abused by school teachers and aunts?
But the society turns a deaf ear to the cries of these yearning boys, because they are so concerned with the girl child.

Everyday, young boys keep getting stronger notions that 'yahoo yahoo' is the only way to get rich, yet we are bothered with feminism instead of FAIRminism.
Everyday, young boys in primary schools are being initiated into cultism and fraternities, yet we are bothered with girls getting empowerment only...
Everyday, young boys go into kidnapping, carrying guns, and we are bothered with only ladies getting attention.

These boys, if unattended to, will grow up to be the thieves that we rob the empowered girls of their properties, sexualities, pride and even lives.
These boys, will grow up to marry some of these empowered girls and turn them to punching bags
These boys, will become fathers who abuse their children physically and even sexually
These boys will become ritualists who might end up 'using' any of our relatives...
These boys need help too. They are vulnerable. They need listening ears.

Don't let us concentrate on the girls alone, everyone deserves empowerment, justice and sympathy!
Even boys too...

Meet Forbes 2018 Under30 CEOs

What never grows out? The burning desire of youth to reinvent the world. That ambition, confidence and impatience is on full display in our 2018 edition of the Forbes 30 Under 30, our annual encyclopedia of creative disruption featuring 600 young stars in 20 different industries.
Jamel Toppin for Forbes
Meet the 30 Under 30 Class of 2018. From top left: Ryan Williams, Leah Sibener, Adam Vanunu, Amandla Stenberg
The 2018 FORBES 30 Under 30 -- 30 game changers in 20 industries, all under 30 years old -- is the most definitive gathering of today’s leading young change-makers and innovators in the U.S. Selecting these youthful visionaries is a year-round obsession. Now in our seventh year, with an alumni network closing in on 5,000 that spans the globe, this list continues to spotlight the impressive, the inspiring and the (genuinely) enviable.
It was originally inspired by the rising tide young entrepreneurs, mostly in the tech business, making big waves and earning even bigger bucks and world-wide followings. While their electrifying successes may be reflective of a booming economy, one thing is clear: never before has youth been such an advantage.

This year's pool of 600 is especially dynamic. That kinetic energy is what the 2018 edition is all about. They are stretching the elasticity of their categories (outlined below) and challenging the traditional pipelines to industry fame and fortune. Consider the young scientist-cofounders in the R&D side of pharma in the health care sector, Leah Sibener and Marvin Gee, who are working on hot-wiring the body's white blood cells to attack tumors. Or Austin Russell, the 22-year-old Stanford University dropout who is leapfrogging over autonomous vehicle technology in manufacturing. 
I can't wait to see the Nigerians on the list!

What Are Millennials Willing to Give Up for Their Careers?

Millennials often get a bad rap in the workplace, but the reality is many of these young people are extremely hard workers and willing to make sacrifices to get ahead in the workforce.
To find out exactly what these young people are willing to give up for their careers, financial intelligence company Comet surveyed 364 employed millennials who are single and don't have children and asked them whether, and to what extent, they would put their work before relationships.

For many millennials, it’s about the money. With a focus on their finances, 41 percent said they would end a relationship if it meant getting a major promotion at work. In fact, if offered a life-changing promotion, the average surveyed millennial said they would stay single for 11 years, delay marriage for seven years and wait to have kids for eight years. However, while many millennials might give up dating, when it comes to long-term relationships, it’s a different story. To the contrary, millennials are willing to make job sacrifices for a long-term relationship that has a promising future: Over half of respondents said they would give up a career opportunity in exchange for a long-term relationship and 86 percent said they would move to another city if their significant other was offered a better job.

While focusing on their careers is one of the reasons the surveyed millennials said they chose to stay single, some avoid relationships for entirely different purposes. The top reason is because they are “picky.” Others say it is because they haven’t found anyone or dated much, don’t go out enough or simply haven’t found someone they liked enough to date.

Overall, the study found that millennial men were more willing to make sacrifices for their careers than millennial women. According to the research, it would take men an average raise of $21,000 to choose to delay a relationship, while women said it would take a whopping $51,000 to make the same sacrifice. The same was true for delaying marriage and kids. On average, men said a $37,000 raise would influence them to delay marriage, while woman said it would take $93,000. Millennial women were also less likely than men to end a relationship if it meant getting a major promotion or pass on a long-term relationship if it jeopardized their career.

Do You Have A Career Insurance?

Hello,

Let's be realistic a bit

A lot of people in Nigeria don't have any insurance

Or planning to take one

And insurance is still a bit of a mystery to a lot of people

And it is most likely inaccessible to alot of people especially poor and rural people in Nigeria

In the areas of health, life and even property or investment insurance

The people that probably have a chance at these are the well-to-dos in the society.

This is evident in the way lots of people have little or no idea about any insurance scheme or even plan to have one.

Well, I am not going to talk about the failure of the Nigerian government in putting in place proper insurance institutions and policies to take care of the vulnerable and average Nigerians.

Nah, not today!

But,

I shall be talking to you about a particular insurance that is rare and not common even as a strategy or products of so-called insurance companies.

 I shall be talking about 'Career Insurance'

Have you insured your career?

Or

Have you thought about it?

I know..

You are probably wondering…

What’s career insurance?

How can someone get career insurance?

And

Why would you need it?

Well…

Career insurance is not your traditional insurance which provides you cover when an accident happens

It’s opposite to that

It’s a preventive measure

It’s to help you to avoid a career accident like...

Getting laid off

Or

Getting Fired

Or

Getting stagnated and not growing as much as you wish to

For 2018 and beyond…

Career insurance is very much required and important

Because…

Your career is under threat

On one side...

The age of automation is upon us…

Which simply means

Artificial Intelligence  is coming for your jobs

Although, it might take a while before Nigeria catches up on AI

But it is never a guaranty.

Plus, the everyday sickening stories of people getting laid-off,

And lots of young people committing suicide

Also, on the other side

Businesses are struggling to make profits as the competition is growing

They are forced to cut their workforce and letting the people who aren’t valuable to go because

Difficult times are ahead and they are letting one person handle five people's jobs

As much as the demand for digital skills is growing, businesses are becoming choosy

They want to hire and retain the best

And you don’t want to be on the wrong side of it

That’s why you need the career insurance

But…

How do you get career insurance?

Do you know…

When you are a specialist in only one skill, it’s like going to war with just a sword

When you master two skills, you’re better armed to take on the real world 

But…

When you are a master of the three or more skills, you’re a real warrior and ready to hit the deck with everything you got

You’ll become invaluable and irreplaceable

What if…

You learn and master a digital skill for as low as N550 today?

What if you learn any of Graphics design, Video Editing, Creative Writing, Content Development, Digital marketing for almost nothing for as low as five hundred and fifty naira?

What if you learn the above skills with ease every morning and night before going to bed?

What if you open your email and you find your course materails that can change your life forever there?

You just double your options 

And 

You’re career insured.

You wouldn’t have to be worried about automation or AI coming for your job

Because, along with your course materials, you will be taught how to build your portfolio to attract big clients.

You will also be taught how to market your skills and businesses to your target customers online

You will recieve a certificate at the end of the course which is four weeks.
Just like the way my life changed, I want yours to change too!

That’s what I want for you

That’s why I’ve created th Naija Creative Community, a page on facebook where you'd be a member and have access to being a participant of the courses

...the courses  that’ll help you learn and master different skills to become an expert in no time

And

I’ve made it affordable to you

I paid N95,000 to get these course materials and skills

But I have seen the challenges of young people being able to afford skills like these

This is why I have made the price ridiculously small to make it affordable to all and sundry.

Which means that time you spend doing nothing on social media is enough to learn a skill today.

Which means you can use half of your subscription fee to learn a course and be a guru at it for life.

Because

We’ll be updating the courses regularly, and you get access to all those updates

We’ll be increasing the price for each of the courses soon

So…

Act now

Pay N550 to 0046789938, Access Bank.

Text your payment details; Name used to pay, Active email address and Phone number to 0818244756 . The number is available on whatsapp. You can also send your details there!
See you at the top,
Keep winning!

If you are doing these four things, you might not be succesful in 2018!

Hi,

I know You want to make this a huge year.

A successful one.

You’re excited.

You’ve made new year resolutions.

You’re pumped to take actions.

Do you know something…

No matter what you want to achieve, you have to give up something to make it happen.
you need to set the right foundation for building up the success.

In this email, I want to talk about 4 things you need to give up to make this a successful year.

1. Put An End To The Unhealthy Lifestyle

Everything starts with a healthy lifestyle. 

If you want to achieve anything in life, first, you should take care of your health. 

And to do so...you need three things

  • Quality Sleep - It has become a fashion to work long hours and sleep for a couple of hours. You need quality sleep to think clearly. Have an average of 6 hours sleep everyday, it helps your brain!
  • Healthy Diet - What you eat is the foundation of everything else. A healthy diet will keep you energized. 
  • Physical Activity - don’t just focus on work and business. Go out and at least workout for 30 minutes a day. It will help you to perform at your best level.

Don't delay any longer...

Take small steps towards a healthy lifestyle… your future will thank you.

2. Stop Giving Excuses

You are responsible for your life, regardless of your starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.

You are responsible for what happens next in your life.

Your actions determine the success or failure.

It could be both frightening and exciting.

Once you realize, you will stop using excuses...and you will be on the right track to succeed. 

Because... excuses limit and prevent you from growing personally and professionally.
Step up & Own your life.

3. Stop Looking For The “Magic Bullet.”

There is no such thing as overnight success.

There are no shortcuts to real success. If someone told you there is any, trust me, it will eventually fade like dust!

To win in life...make small and continuous improvement every day.
So, stop looking for the “Magic Bullet” to help you succeed...and focus on improving every day or week.

Do you know that…

If you improve 2% every week...at the end of the year, your life would’ve grown by 100%.

4. Don’t Multitask

One of the biggest issues I see in the recent days is everyone wants to multitask.

And it has reached a level that if you don’t multitask, you’re not smart.

Multitasking hurts more than it helps.

Because… 

Multitasking is an illusion. 

You think you are multitasking... 

But in reality, you are actually wasting time switching from one task to another

And it is not gonna help you achieve anything.

Choose one task and complete it before moving to another. 

Trust me...

Once you stop doing these 4 things, you'll see a tremendous change in your professional and personal life...

And remember what we discussed in the last email..

Begin Today!
 
To your success, 
Sisi Titi 
 
PS: I would love to hear from you how my postings have bettered your journey so far, perhaps you want to read more about a particular topic? Kindly let me know in the comment section.

What is really happening to your idea!

Hi there,

Yes, today it’s all about goals.

Having the right goal is very important

Because 

It keeps you motivated and reminds you why you are doing whatever you are doing

It lets you check whether you’re progressing on the right track or not

And 

It helps you prioritize your tasks in the right order

Believe me...

Your success and greatness are only as good as your goals

I’ve seen a lot of people are stuck when it comes to priotizing  their goals

It’s not easy to set the right goals...especially when you are just starting out.

Instead of telling you how to set your goals…
 
I will tell you what happens to your goals and ideas when you don't do nothing about it

You must have heard that procrastination is bad for goal achievement

You might have heard also that as you are concieving an idea, so is 1million others conceiving same idea!

Now you are scared, right?

Could this be true?

I am here to tell you, it is absolutely TRUE!

A quick story...

Sometime ago, I had an idea called 'Efiko' as a mother brand of many products.

I concieved the idea thinking that 'efiko' means someone intellectual in the modern Nigerian slang,

It means someone who never runs out of ideas and that was it.

When i discussed with few people, I was convinced I had a fantastic idea.

So I thought of buying a domain name to build my website and infuse other products on it.

But guess what? Oh yeah, someone else has already registered the domain.

I felt shattered and shed a tear. I cried. I imagined the person being a devil sent to spoil my dreams

But I quickly braced myself and thought of another domaiin

I tried, oddideas dot com, Urbrand dotcom etc...

But ALL were not available.

Wow, it was a big challenge. I thought within me, why on earth is the world against me and my dreams?

Then, the truth struck me!

That for every one person thinking about an idea, there are several millions thinking of same idea!

It is hard to swallow but it is a fact!

I found out the hard way but pretty soon.

So what do you do about that idea or goal you want to achieve?

The best is first do your research.

Yes, do your research if someone else is riding on that same idea

And find out who's behind it. It is only then you can know for sure what is really happening to your 

Idea.

Because yeah, ideas are unique but it doesn't mean it is uni-directional.

If someone isn't already doing it which is scarce anyway, then wait no more

Slack no more and start working on it now.

My advice is if you really want to be global, the best is register a platform; a website.

That is a kind of security for your idea.

And start other follow up activities. Don't wait till idea-hunting spirits hunt your idea away from you.

And if your idea has been snatched already, the best is quickly re-route and think of a new one.

Most times, all you need is a new name.

When I discovered my 'efiko' was taken, all I did was sectionalize my idea and work on them differently.

I decided that instead of trying so hard to get a domain name, why don't I just re-ignite my blog and build my personal brands on it?

Why don't I infuse my ideas on my blog and campaign around it?

That is the result of the NCC page on my home page.

So, the best it thinking of a new name with same idea.

Sometimes with a new approach, because the truth is even those who 'snatched' the idea might not even be running it the way you envisioned. It might just be a name thing!

So, I implore you today, start working on your idea.
 
The more you procastinate, the more chances of you not being able to run that idea.
 
That’s when I realized.

No one except me can work on my idea the way I envisioned it.
 
I wanted to be an entrepreneur, something like Richard Brandson who has many businesses and assigned a visioneer to push it  and grow it big.

And it is really happening this time. It is and I can't say I am regretting!
 
That’s what you should do.

Takeaways:

Before picking the goal

Think about your dream…

What do you want to achieve in your life?

What will give you happiness and satisfaction?

Write everything down

Then order them in the sequence that makes sense to you.

But, don’t set too many goals.

Remember…

Goal setting isn't about what you'd like to talk about. 

It's about who you want to become and what you want your life to feel like.

I knew it’s not as easy as the sentence I wrote.

I’m married, have a kid, and got used to a certain lifestyle.

I decided to create products that I can sell to my potential customers.

That has become my short term, smart goal.

Before the end of 2018, I have to create and sell a product to my potential customers.

To sell, I need to grow the email list and Facebook audience. 

Takeaways:

You need to be honest and realistic with your goals.

Most people fail to achieve their goals because they didn’t factor their situation and limitations.

It’s not that you have to change the goals if they sounded impossible considering your situation and limitations

You need to find the right approach to achieve them

And break the grand goal into smaller ones.

I broke the grand goal ‘quit the job and become an entrepreneur’ into three small ones
Grow the email list

Grow the Facebook audience and

Create and sell a product
 
Now, the idea is thoroughly tested and validated.

All I have to do is scale it up.

So, I  began my entrepreneurship journey.

Now, at the beginning of 2018, I’m running my own business and planning it’s growth for the next 10 years.

And, finally, I’m pursuing the goal that gives me complete satisfaction.

There’s still a long way to go before I can conclude ‘I’ve succeeded.’

But for now, I’ve doing well enough to achieve most of the goals I’ve set.

Takeaways:

Don’t blindly pursue any idea.

Before investing time and effort, test whether the idea will work.

If it works, see whether you can replicate it again to validate.

Once validated, do everything you can, and you need to scale it up.

Don’t relax or feel elated at the first success

Because…

It’s just the beginning…

And there is a long road ahead to success.

To Your Success,
