It was organized by an exceptional young man called Seun Salami, founder of Vine Media.

The theme was STICK.ABILITY…interesting!

Other speakers scheduled to speak were Fela Durotoye, Kunle Ayoola (Soul Snatcha of RoofTop MCs) and Toyosi Akerele of RISE.

We had a most fulfilling time and I’m so glad I was a part of it.

I shared a couple of insights and I was delighted to see the faces of those precious young people glow with renewed passion and enthusiasm.

Here are a few points from my presentation that you might find interesting:

• One of the challenges that you must overcome as a young person is impatience.Many young people are not willing to take the heat and the pressure required for their transformation.

• One of the reasons Nigeria hasn’t gone as far as she should go is that we consume resources in the short term that we ought to invest for the long term.

• You can’t have the pleasure of the promise if you don’t endure the pain of the process.

• Concentration is key:Become so focused till your distraction becomes distracted by your focus.

• You shouldn’t keep consulting those who know so much about your past and so little about your future otherwise you will repeat certain patterns you ought to break and your future will be a duplication of your past.

• The most read authors are not necessarily the best authors, they are the bestselling authors.

• People perish, not for lack of talent or skill but for lack of knowledge.

• You are a walking, talking bag of seeds.Sow them.Grow them.

• Don’t just SOW YOUR SEEDS, GROW YOUR SEEDS.

• It’s time to turn that bright idea into a fantastic proposal.

• Hall of your victory is in showing up.Learn to participate.

• If your hands are on it, people will join you in it.

• Learn to verbalize your dreams because a potential partner or sponsor might just be listening.

I hope learned a few things.

Be kind enough to leave a comment or a question, if you have one.

Thank you .

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

That’s all I can say.

Well, I can also add “God bless you”

I had a wonderful birthday on wednesday.

I give God all the glory.

Remember that I told you I wanted a BlackBerry and a RAV4.

I got the BlackBerry on wednesday and I’m soooo sure that the RAV4 is on the way.

Before I tell you about the Birthday cake and drinks, let me apologize.

I told you about two gifts I am giving out this birthday season.

The first is the FREE Blog.

I should have told you about the second gift much earlier.

Well, here it is:

I am offering you 5 money-making ebooks that I have rights to at the price of one.

Now, that’s crazy.

I’d give you the details about the books and the price on monday.Please exercise a little patience.

Meanwhile, a lot of people have asked “where is my birthday cake?”

This is the answer-join me tomorrow at SPEAK WITH POWER.

We’ll be cutting a birthday cake and there’ll be refreshments to go round.

If you haven’t paid your registration fee, please come with  N3000.

If you are coming as a group of 3 or more, you can pay N2000 each.

If you are a student, you can pay N1500.

Now that’s dirt cheap and I assure you that you will get more than you bargain for.

See you tomorrow.

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.
