2 KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT COULD DETERMINE YOUR SUCCESS

I strongly believe that one of the greatest abilities on earth is to have an understanding of times and seasons. I am pretty sure the tribe of Issachar would have testified to this. You really can't go wrong once you have this ability; it is always an advantage because you know what you ought to do.

I recall thousands of people queuing up for an iPhone on its first day of sales; in fact it’s an unbelievable sight to see, as several persons sleep over just to secure a space on the queue.  How fabulous it would be if people queued up to have this ability or least realized its importance.

WALLS and DOORS, yes these are the 2 kinds of people that you'd always come across who could determine your success and the best way to discover when a door has become a wall or a wall a door is when you have the ability to understand the times.  Some people come into your life and nothing just works, there are barriers to your success and growth, your dreams are left unfilled, projects halted and frustration sets in, these people are WALLS. Interestingly, this is not to say that at some point these people weren't DOORS but the difference is that they are now expired DOORS turned WALLS. And if you keep up with the friendship you will be cut off eventually. Once the wall in your life breaks, you will begin to see light beams or flashing lights ( not paparazi o). The worst kind of wall to have present in one's life is the WALL OF ILLUSION which has been built by your mind, thoughts and imaginations. The remedy in this case is to be POSITIVE MINDED and then the wall of jericho will fall down flat. Most times, a shout is what you need to have you needs met. A shout at your obstacles, a fierce look and majestic shout at the impediment holding you back.

Now, DOORS are everyone’s dream friends, once these people come into your life, opportunities open up, paths are straightened, success is within reach, faith is restored, and dreams are fulfilled. It’s a joyous life. Not forgetting that an understanding of times and seasons, your actions, decision are always on point. The people that come and stay in our lives will be DOORS only. Amen!

If you want to have the kind of victory David had, then you must get ready to face your Goliath. Mark the word face, you have to face your fears and stand, though you might be a little David but with your strikes of persistence victory will be inevitable.

On another hand, surviving in a place of stiff competition could be daunting and involves a lot of guts and “understanding of times” to remain there. The online business world is no exception to the rule; in fact the competition is fiercer. Sometimes, being good at what you do is not enough, you have to be better than the best. Notably, one thing is sure if you must succeed online and carve a niche for yourself; you must do what others aren't doing – ALWAYS testing new methods to enhance your productivity, taking surveys to obtain the needs of your target consumers, implementing new strategies to drive your business northward etc.

I remember when KONGA kicked off, now we have JUMIA, DEALDEY, and VETABAT etc. There is most definitely stiff competition in the online retail services platform and most of all blogging. In most recent times, blogging has become a major source of income generation and for some value addition. There are major names out there like Linda ikeji, Stella etc. and its inspiring to see how much they have earned and how well they have grown and most importantly how well I’ll surpass them in the nearest months J

You would realize that those who are living their dreams and making global impact are those who had an understanding of times and season and those who were able to retain the doors and eject the walls out of their lives.

TO YOUR SUCCESS
