Submit your brand to the general public. Your brand may be well made, but it has to be well known.
Prioritize activities under the captions “important” and “urgent”. Do the urgent things first and the important things later.
Be prepared to say “no” to some things. That is the key. When you say “yes” to every invitation, event and call, you will come back to meet you plans on the paper in the same state you left them.
You don’t expect the goat to hatch the hen’s eggs. People do what they know very well. Don’t expect someone who doesn’t know what you know to do it for you. Do it yourself.
Your initiatives should be purposeful. Never climb a tree with the purpose of plucking a fruit, only to come down with a leaf.
Find out your most limiting tasks and deal with them as early as possible. Use a diary, and jot little points of reminder about specific tasks for reference later.
The possibility of making an error and coming back to try again is real when you have not fully prepared.
Don’t depend on the thoughts; “I need more time”. There are only 24 hours in each day. You can’t make it 25 or 26. You just have to plan your activities very well so as to achieve the expected things with the natural time limit.
They say “time is money”. But I want to say “time makes money”. This means time is greater than money.
When you have a lot of goals to accomplish, it is very important you do your own “Kaizin”. Shift those that are unnecessary now to the following day and carefully deal with a bigger task in smaller bits
Let there be consistency in whatever you do and whatever you say. If what you think and say is mismatching with what you do, you can’t really be trusted.
You don’t have a silver spoon in your mouth. You have a golden spoon in your palms. Use it and feed yourself
Watch out for what people commend you for and do it diligently. Don’t stop if compliments no longer come.
If you hide the talents, you hide your brand. It’s simple.
Connect with people who are going where you are going. Don’t hate people. The person you may need later may be likened to the bridge you have destroyed after crossing it. You’ll need that bridge when returning.
Convert your fans into your customers by adding value to what you do.
Promise people with the hope of not letting any fracture misalign you from fulfilling those promises. That gives you a recommendable brand.
Learn new things. Do progressive research into what you do and find out how others outside your quarters are doing it. Dare to be excellent. Average brands easily go into extinction soonest.
