11 VITAL REASONS HOW EARNING EXTRA INCOME WILL BOOST YOUR FINANCES

The pervasive news about recession seems to me a global phenomenon and not a malaise peculiar to Nigeria as a country. However, recession itself is not the major impediment to survival but the willingness of the people to look inward and create alternative source of income. Any nation whose development and growth is hinged on a monolithic based economy will ultimately fall into recession whenever it experiences financial shocks.

Doing extra jobs, working extra hours, selling extra products, doing holiday and weekend jobs, affiliate marketing, by and large, earning extra income during recession is the greatest way to cushion the effect of economic depression, high cost of inflation, job insecurity, financial meltdown and the likes.

Have you ever imagined how it feels to get up at your own lovable time and not hasten to office in the regular chaos of snarling traffic all the while getting choked on pollution? And then, to begin the day as though you are fresh from home and nothing has happened.

Earning Extra Income has not impaired anyone up till now, and it should not be hurting you either if you start today. As long as you are willing to do that extra bit of work or take an extra mile trip for your boss, you should be more than willing to do so for yourself, especially if you feel that it would improve the quality of life of you and your family.

For extra income job to be more rewarding, it is advisable to start with something you are passionate about as extra Income does not come for free.  A little bit of motivation and inspiration could set the ball in motion even for a greater business idea.

8 BEST KEPT SUCCESS SECRETS OF TOP MOTIVATIONAL GURUS

Author Michael Jeffreys personally interviewed 15 top motivational gurus in 1997 for his then upcoming book.  After talking to gurus from Brian Tracy to Dr. Wayne Dyer, he distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed upon.  These secrets are still good today and are as follows:

1.     Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – In a society where people blame everything from their parents to the government for failure, those who don’t buy into this mentality or succumb to the “victim” thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

2.     Live Your Life On Purpose -  What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe they’re doing what they were put her to do. The difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just getting through the week with the least problems.  But when you live your life on purpose, your main concern is doing the job right.  For the entrepreneur this means finding a cause you believe in and building your business around it.

3.     Be Willing to Pay the Price - Be willing to pay the price for your dreams.  Wanting a big house, a luxury car, and a million dollars in the bank is all very nice, and everyone wants these things – but are you willing to pay the price to get them?  This is one of the major differences between the successful and unsuccessful.

4.     Stay Focused – Every day we’re bombarded with hundreds of tasks, phone calls, messages, and everyone competing for our time.  Focusing requires giving up something in the present because you are investing your time in something that will pay off big-time down the road.  Jack Canfield and Mark Hanson were turned by 30 publishers when they submitted the first “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book.  Instead of giving up, they stayed focused on their goal and did four or five interviews per day for radio, TV, and newspapers, for five days a week for a whole year.  Eventually, a small publisher decided to take a chance, and of course now it’s a best-seller that spawned an entire series that have sold more than 10 million copies.

5.     Become An Expert in Your Field  One striking factor all successful people have in common is how seriously they take their profession.  They strive to be the best at what they do, and do almost anything to improve.  If someone followed you around all day with a video camera at your business, would it be a tape you’d be proud of or embarrassed about?  Make the decision today to work at being the best in your field.  How? By finding out what the “best” in your field are doing, and do what they do.

6.     Write Out a Plan for Achieving Your Goals -  Write out an action plan/map for how you’re going to achieve your goals.  Trying to reach your goals

3 VITAL TRAITS OF SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS

I woke up this morning with a very high spirit and in anticipation of calls from prospects from within and outside the country. I have been lucky these days to receive service request from people outside the country, at least I receive more than ten calls on daily basis for one service or the other, a client came in from India on Monday and he was impressed meeting me after long chats and conversation online. Some other clients from abroad have paid me for business plan on Nylon/Polythene set-up in Nigeria even though they have not met me in person. Likewise, my lawyer partner called from Abuja that some of our client’s names we put in for search at Corporate Affairs Commission had been approved for registration, all these are affirmations that ‘’winners never quit and quitters never win’’. In all of these, I found certain traits helpful in keeping afloat if you are a business entrepreneur and these traits are:

1. CONFIDENCE IN SELF

This is that supernatural control of having confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.

2. SUCCESS ORIENTED

Achievements are gained by focused and sustained effort. They concentrate on achieving a specific goal, not just accomplishing a string of unrelated tasks.

3. RISK TAKING

Successful business entrepreneurs realize that there is a possibility of loss inherent in achieving their goals; nonetheless they have the confidence necessary to take calculated risks to achieve their goals.

Business entrepreneurs are individuals who will make decisions, take action, and think that they can control their own destinies. They are often inspired by a spirit of self-determination which leads them to believe that their success depends on rare effort and uphill struggle, not luck.

Hence, which of these three traits is the most significant? Trust me, it has to be self-confidence. With no self-confidence, nothing else is possible. If you don't believe in your capability, then the first hurdle that arises may knock you off the passageway to achieving your goals.

You can maintain a higher level of self-confidence if you keep these two things in mind:

POSITIVE THINKING

Well, it all starts with a optimistic attitude, doesn't it? Believing that something good will surely happens is the first step. Pessimistic thinking simply is not allowed. You must truly believe that there are no conditions strong enough to deter you from
