People often say “Opportunities come but once”

I’m so thankful that is not always true.

Can you imagine if that was the case every time?

Thank God for opportunities that come again.

Sometimes, we are so caught up with other things that we fail to seize some of the golden  opportunities that come our way.

On January 31, 2010, I hosted the first SPEAK WITH POWER seminar.

I invited no less than 2000 people through my FACEBOOK account, email list, flyers and word of mouth.

Guess what?

Only 70 people showed up.

That was quite encouraging considering the fact that the world’s leading voice on Leadership, John Maxwell is said to have had less than 20 people attend his first seminar.In a similar fashion, one of Nigeria’s top motivational voices and Judge on the Debaters’ reality TV Show, Richie Dayo Johnson told me he had 14 people at his first seminar.

Waoh…70 was not a bad number at all.

What was even more encouraging was the fact that people came from different parts of Lagos, Ibadan and ENUGU!

A LOT OF PEOPLE called in to say they could ATTEND THE SEMINAR for various reasons.

I understand.

The good news is that NOW, there’s another opportunity to LEARN HOW TO SPEAK WITH POWER.

On March 27, 2010, the second SPEAK WITH POWER shall hold.

The venue is FINICKY RESTAURANT, JIBOWU, YABA, LAGOS

The time is 12 NOON PROMPT.

Watch this space for details.

Meanwhile, tell all your friend, colleagues and family members that they have another opportunity.

Thanks.

P.S: If you’d like to attend, kindly send a txt with your full name, email address and phone number to 0187 85 167.

February went by so fast.

I guess it was because I had so much to do.

At the beginning of the month, I had my to-do list.

At the end of the month, I had ticked off almost everything on that list.

That gladdened my heart.

I was in Badagry once.

Abia state on two ocassions.

Different parts of Lagos every week…meetings…seminars…conferences…

What was I doing?

Great question!

I was doing what I was born to do…empower my generation to be all that God wants us to be.

I was preaching…teaching…speaking…training…facilitating meetings…writing…granting interviews…sharing what I know…what I have learned over the years.

Life’s greatest joy lies in our contribution to other lives.

It feels great to make a difference for good.

Are you making a difference in someone’s life?

Just like February, March is flying by so fast.

Before you know it, it’s going to be April, then May…June…July…September…December…2011…

Phew!

What’s my point?

“There’s no time.”

Well, there is time but there’s no time to waste.

I believe that we have enough time for what we NEED to do but we don’t have enough time to do all that we WANT to do.

We have enough time for what we were born to do but we don’t have enough time for all we wish to do.

Everyday, different things and people are contending for your attention…fighting for your time.

So what are you going to do?

You can’t attend to everything or even everyone.

You have to make the right choices.

That’s the struggle I face everyday.

I bet you have a similar experience.

Whatever you do, do what you were born to do or it would have been better if you were never born.

Ouch…

P.S: It’s my birthday this month and I have some special offers for you.Stay Tuned.
