What’s your dream?

What is that burning desire in your heart?

What would you accomplish if nothing could stop you?

Where would you like to be 5 years from now?

What if the sky wasn’t the limit?

What if you could grow beyond preset barriers and stretch beyond the horizons.

These are questions you must contemplate if you want to be all you were born to be.

It’s possible that you’ve had these questions on your mind for a while but you’ve also wondered “How do I get started?”

“Where do I get the capital to start my dream business?”

“How can I get the strategic relationships or “connections” I need?

“What steps should I take to grow?”

“What  exactly do I need to know?”

“How should I position myself for golden opportunities?”

“How do I improve my confidence and communication skills?”

I’m glad to let you know that finally, there’s an institution that teaches you how to LIVE YOUR DREAMS.
With the incredible transformations going on in our socio-economic climes, it has become abundantly clear that talent, academic degrees and certificates alone will not put you ahead of the teeming population of job-seekers, budding entrepreneurs and aspiring reformers.

More than ever, life skills are in high demand.There is an undeniable revolution that stipulates that anyone who must forge ahead and leave a lasting impression in the annals of history must invest ample time, energy and financial resources in DISCOVERING, DEVELOPING and DEPLOYING their inherent GIFTS.

Unfortunately, the traditional academic institutions often revolve around obsolete techniques and axioms that have no real life application thus they fail to furnish students with the necessary qualities required to live up to their true potential.

My last post was quite long so I’d keep this one simple but just as powerful.

If I do not exhaust my thoughts on this topic, I’d continue some other time but I just want to share a few points with you now.

One of the key differences between success and failure, prosperity and poverty, marital bliss and divorce, sickness and health, academic excellence and poor performance is a simple word-COMMITMENT.

I bet you’ve seen the wonders of commitment. You have seen it over and over. From the artistry displayed by your favorite sport star to the soul-stirring messages delivered by the charismatic preacher; from the masterful use of words by the best-selling author to the ever-increasing bottom line of the astute business mogul; from the precision of the marksman to the awe-inspiring creativity of the artist, our world is decorated with the sweet fruit of commitment.

Great organizations are built through commitment.

Skills are developed through commitment.

Anointing is developed through commitment.

If you will become great, you MUST move from mere interest to commitment.

There are a lot of people who would like to become better singers yet they wouldn’t even learn from the successful singers around them.

There are a lot of people who would like to become best-selling authors yet they wouldn’t even write an article, talk less of posting valuable notes on facebook.

Some say they would love to to feed thousands of people daily some time in the future but they wouldn’t even buy a hungry stranger something to eat.

Others pray that God will use them mightily yet they have never made any serious sacrifice for Him.

Things just don’t work that way.

Your COMMITMENT TO ANY PERSON or PROJECT is measured by your ACTUAL INVESTMENTS in that person and not by your VERBAL PRONOUNCEMENTS.

Being committed means you will take the required steps to produce the desired results.

Interest may be a starting point but it takes commitment to go the whole nine yards.

I promised to keep this short, so I’d continue some other time.

I look forward to your comments and contributions.

It’s a new year.

I celebrate you for making it…against all odds.

Some people started the last year but did not see the end of the year.

You probably know one or two of such people.

We do not spite them in any way because we realize that some of them were smarter, stronger and even more spiritual than many of us.We are only alive because God spared our lives.He spared our lives because He still has a significant role for us to play in His Masterplan.

It is important to keep this poignant thought in view so that we do not become conceited and take the favor of God for granted.It is also necessary to cherish this new year as God’s special gift to us such that we make the most of it.

I’d quickly share 11 simple secrets with you.

I am optimistic that they will help you become super-successful this year and in the years to come.

1. Put God First.

It is important to PUT GOD FIRST.

There are two sides to this:

First, start your day with Him.

I realize that we lead very busy lives.We have a tendency to wake up with a start, rush into the bathroom and dart off  to work.We seldom make out time for GOD in the morning.

One of the secrets of Jesus was that He woke up early every morning and spent time with God.

Little wonder he worked so many miracles.

Martin Luther got it right. He said, “I am very busy today, I have to take out the first three hours to pray.

When we make out time for God in the morning, He makes ways for us all through the day.

The second side to this, is to START EVERY PROJECT WITH GOD in mind.

Too many people revert to God only after they hit a brick wall. You don’t have to get into that cycle.

God is not a spare tire we employ once in a while. He is the steering wheel we engage all the time.

When you start with God, you can rest assured that everything will turn out just fine.

The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon said “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.”

2.Let Yourself Go.

The past is always trying to make it into the future.

Unfortunately, it often succeeds ever so often.

It’s a new year…chronologically but for so many people it’s really an old year with a new date.

The only thing that has changed is the calender.Nothing else.

They are bogged in the quagmire of yesteryear’s pains, plights and problems.

Some are on a leash of unforgiveness.

Others are fettered by bitterness and incarcerated in the room of regret.

Their attachment to yesterday’s failures and sometimes, successes, prevents them from launching into a future prosperity and bliss.

It is important to let yourself off any hook that is keeping you from reaching for the bright future God has designed for you.

If you suffered some setbacks last year, press on.Better days are ahead.

If you recorded staggering success, press on.Better days are ahead.

There’s always a better day ahead.Each of the 365 days of this year presents  exciting opportunities for growth.

Don’t rob yourself.

Let yourself Go.

3.Overcome Inertia.

You have heard the saying, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”

That is true.

Unfortunately, the first step is usually the most difficult to take.

We are often bombarded with a plurality of  “reasons” to remain where we are.

It is comfortable to conform.

We do not like to stick out like a sore thumb.

We do not want to be the sacrificial lambs.

We do not want to be the scape goats, so we just “hold our peace” and stay in our comfort zones.

That may seem like a smart decision, but only for a short while.Soon, it becomes clear that we must be willing to stick out our necks if we must wear the medal of greatness.

Even the snail knows that it must stick out it’s neck in order to make progress.

Cowards conform.

Heroes don’t conform, they conquer.

You are not a coward.Don’t conform this year.Don’t conform to man made limitations.

Stretch. Reach out. Overcome inertia.

You are a hero.Conquer!

There are eight other secrets I’d share with you so watch out for the next part of this blog post.

P.S: It’s always a pleasure reading your comments and answering your questions so if you have any, leave them in the box below.

P.P.S: Have a Productive and Prosperous Year.

It’s amazing that a short message can go a long way.

Last week, God inspired me to write a short message with the title, “They Stole My Idea.”

To my amazement, it has gone a really long way.

If you haven’t read it, just click on this link right away…

http://www.damioluwatoyinbo.com/personal-transformation/they-stole-my-idea/

It will inspire you.

I had no idea that Joel Wilson had read it but we were together at the Nelson Mandela Square in South Africa just a few days ago and we had a very interesting conversation.

The good thing is that we got it on camera and you can “eavesdrop” whether you are in Japan or Jamaica, Nigeria or Nicaragua.

It’s a short video, watch it and kindly leave your comments.

It’s always a pleasure to read from you.

P.S:Pardon the background noise.

Also which of these titles would you like me to write on next?

“‘Done’ is better than ‘perfect’” or “The Paralysis of Analysis”

I know you are eager to know what “it” is.

If we are friends on facebook, you may have an idea of what “it” is.

You may have seen “its” picture or read an update I put up about “it”.

If you still don’t know what “it” is, not to worry, I’d let the cat out of the bag in a jiffy.

It’s the second print of my book, “JUST DO IT!…Turn Your Momentum-Breakers Into Momentum-Builders”.

Research shows that most Nigerian authors never sell more than 500 copies of their work.Consequently, they never exhaust their first print, talk less of doing a second print.

With that in mind, I’m excited to let you know that we sold out our first print of JUST DO IT sorely on a personal basis.Not one copy was sold through a bookstore or bookseller.Now, THAT’S A TESTIMONY!

It’s even more interesting to realize that even though I was privileged to write the book, every time I read it, I still draw fresh wisdom and divine inspiration from it and if the feedback I have is anything to go by, the book is a huge blessing to several other people. As you may know, I didn’t write the book for myself.

I wrote it for you.I wrote it for our generation and those coming after us.

Last week, one of my female buddies, Sophie, saw it and she was really impressed and excited to say the least.

She was so elated, she had no idea when she said “I didn’t plan to buy it.I’m not sure I have sufficient cash but meeeen, this is to good to be ignored…”

Thankfully, she had enough money on her to buy a copy and you should have seen the glow on her face.

As good as the book is, you do not need to break the bank to get a copy…or even several copies.By the way it’s advisable to get several copies.

Why?

Because several people have told me “Dami, I still haven’t read your book o.Somebody collected the copy I bought before I started reading it.”It’s advisable to get several copies so that if a friend or family member takes one, you can still have one you can call yours.

The response has been encouraging.

Not surprising though. The message is hot, fresh and fast-paced.It is 40 pages of unconventional wisdom and the average reading time is 1 hour.

I know it’s something you need to read and more importantly apply.

You can get the soft copy here, if you haven’t done that already.IT’S FREE.

More importantly, you need to get your hard copy before we run out of copies again.

I tell you-the books are moving really fast and you need to get yours.

I’m still consulting with individual book sellers and bookstores in order to facilitate better distribution.WE WANT TO TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL:We want to place the book in the hands of every Nigerian who can read.

It may be daunting but it’s not impossible.It will take some time but delay is not denial.

I’d give you more information as we cover new grounds.

I believe that I have a lot to learn from you just as you may learn a thing or two from me.I’m open to suggestions.If there is any thing you think I could do better, please let me know.

If you think that the “JUST DO IT!” message is something more people should hear and you’d like to join hands with me to make that happen, do let me know.I believe that there is none of us that is greater than all of us if we stand together.I’D APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS so kindly write them in the comment box below.

Together, we’ll do great things.Today, it’s my book.Tomorrow, it may be yours but the truth is…it’s more than your book or mine…it’s about leaving a legacy…empowering people, securing destiny and establishing God’s kingdom.

So, LET’S GET IT STARTED…SAY SOMETHING…NOW…HERE…
