Maintain the name you build. It is easier to make a good brand than to maintain a good brand already made. Wining a trophy is not as difficult as defending it.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Study whatever you were told very carefully. Make the best choices for the best brands and discard the rest.
Manna will definitely fall from above, but it’s gonna fall for those who cultivated “manner farms” on the clouds.
Embrace the social media and utilize it wisely to promote your brand. When you optimize the social media, you may go offline, but your brand will never go off-track.
Never ever compare yourself with other people. They may have what you don’t have, you also have what they may not have. Over-watching what they have is over-looking what you have. Use what you have.
Break away from the box confining you. Positive dreamers do not follow the status quo. They keep raising the standard of the bar higher and higher. Raise the bar.
Make a change of your steps when necessary. “Status quo” is the court room where change is kept on trial for long, delaying the verdict. Make a change and achieve your dreams. Rule your case with victory.
Never entertain anger. Great people do not become angry over unnecessary issues.
People can still see you even if you enter the next door. Even if you are dead and gone, they can still see you. What is necessary is whether they see you for the good, bad or ugly reason.
Whether you like it or not, you are branding yourself. The concern is whether the brand is a positive one or not. It is therefore expected of every aspiring achiever who wants to make an indelible impact to first of all create and maintain a good brand.
Your brand resides in your dominant talent. Other talents and gifts are only there to connect you to the right people for the right choice and the right places for the right actions.
If you hide the talents, you hide your brand. It’s simple.
Come out with your unique signal and don’t always be compelled to go the common way. That is called innovation.
If you plant your crops in the weather of pride they will grow tall and fall down. Take away pride and your dreams will stand.
Don’t keep people in hatred. You might lose that very person who should endorse your next appointment letter if you are a skillful hater of people. Let love lead
Build a name. Personal branding is all about name building. I don’t just mean alphabetical name, but a name that can be spelt in the skills you have and pronounced with the things you do
Respond to critics with humility. Most people are experts in finding problems with whatever others do. That should not be a surprise to you.
It is one thing being disciplined to plan and it is another thing being a disciple of great work. Be your own disciplinarian.
Have clean hands in whatever you do. Integrity is doing the right thing when people are watching you and still making it right when they keep their eyes off.
Agree and freely switch on the heart that will take “no” as an answer to some questions.
Without good personal brands, whatever you do may not be accepted and patronized; without any brand at all, you may do something great which will not be known.
Anger is the agro-chemical that makes the weeds of failure to germinate and compete with your crops of success. Don’t apply it.
When it’s not meant to make you up, it’s meant to fake you up. Just say no and act right. Be bold to say “no”.
Sentence every immoral thought for detention and prosecution. Immorality is a powerful gadget that brings down great monuments of success. Don’t entertain immorality.
Take excuses and procrastination as your enemies. Let them see you and frown their faces and bypass you without greetings. You will excel if you don’t internalize the habit of giving excuses.
Don’t accept the available as the preferable. Go extra mile with extra speed.
Dream big dreams, but start small. A journey of thousand steps begins with a step.
Nothing good stands without the right attitude. You may know how to do it, but if the attitude is negative, all you can say is “I could have done it”.
Never keep long and be waiting. Waiters and quitters have just a slight difference but a common end.
Know that dreaming is a waste of sleeping time and energy if you don’t wake up to achieve them.
Dreams do not bear fruits unless the weather conditions are favourable. Your positive mentality makes your dreams germinate, your actions make them to bear fruits. Take positive actions. Be positively minded.
Be positive with every idea surrounding your dreams. Think about the possibility of what you plan to do and approach it with an optimistic action. Stay positively.
Cultivate the habit of defining, refining, redefining and redeeming your opportunities. Failure is a temporal event, not a permanent trademark.
Check your environment and be sure that it is supportive. Some environments do not support progress. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not fertile lands for a farmer’s dream seeds. Change location.
Quitters don’t gain what they have started working on, waiters don’t start what they could have gained. What is common there is failure.
Attitude determines how the “inner battle” is won.
On no account should you entertain being a victim of your own circumstances. When unexpected failure occurs, you can turn it into success.
Don’t despise little things that contain tiny miracles. Enjoy little actions!
Let your plans be assured from the end to the beginning. Let it be clear that the end is hopeful. Wake up.
Getting started is the most difficult thing to do; once you file it out, they rest of the journey is as soft as the straw. Be a good beginner.
