Hello friends, I'd like to talk about Multiple streams of income in this post. The issue of money is one that the whole world is involved in everyday. Infact, you'r not truly successful untill you have some level of financial freedom, and I'v come to discover that financial freedom, real financial freedom comes from having several channels through which money comes into your life!
If you truly want to be financially free,then,developing and operating multiple income streams is something that is not an option for you. You just have to settle it that you're gonna succeed irrespective of the obtables before you or the challenges you have to overcome! I say this again for exphasisn,If you really want to be financially free, develop and operate on multiple streams of income!
Financial experts have said an individual has to have at least four income streams that feeds their lives! Check out all the wealthy people you can find, they all have more than one source of income! You can't get rich with your salaried work. You can't get rich by working for somebody else all your life! You only get rich by operating your own business! While you maintain your salary job, seek for a line of business in which you are interested in and follow it,develop it, invest money and your off-work time to it.
You should actually develop income streams according to your giftings,talents and interests! There are several ideas on how to build multiple streams of income to gain financial freedom, especially in this age of information overload, you don't have an excuse to be poor! There's a talent in you that needs developing! There is something about you that you can commercialize and establish and breakthrough with! Find your giftings and find your sources of income!
We will continue on this pertinent and over-relevant issue in this our modern times! You are too strong to loose!

DEVELOPING THE OUTSTANDING YOU
In life I have come to discover that there's one very vital and important aspect of our lives that almost single-handedly determines what we get out of life. I beleive that the level of success we experience in life is directly related to our personality. What does your personality type speak to people about who you are? When you walk into a room what message do you send out? Mike Murdock says "we are walking messages". The way we talk,walk and dress is sending a message to people about who we are.
It has been said that the greatest profession in life is selling, and everyone is involved in it in one way or the other. We are all selling something everyday; you sell yourself to your family in other for them to buy into your idea of how the family should be run. You sell yourself to your employer to employ you or even keep you on the job! You sell yourself to your spouse in other for him/her to commit into marriage with you! Common, we are in the business of selling and we don't even know it! Even God has to come down and sell the idea of a Kingdom of Heaven to mankind in other to win us over! What else is there to say?
So,I ask you this question,what are you selling? The way you dress,talk and walk is actually selling your product to those in your sphere of influence! Funny enough, you may not be aware of it, but you've been selling stuff long enough that certain notions and stereo-types have be formed about you already!...Surprised? Please don't be.
The good news is that you can stop and start to consciously sell your desired product, all you have to do is to change your mentality and your focus and all other things will automatically fall in place. You can have all the success you want, attract the best of friends and people into your life, attract financial resources and so much more when you begin to sell the right product through your personality type.
Well, this is a journey I'll not want to rush with this post. We'll continue on it with the one,so hang on folks. I'll like to end here by quoting the words of Sam Adeyemi, he says this about success, "Success is who you are", now I don't think I can really over-emphasize that statement.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE NOW!
Hello friends, recently I was listening to one of my mentors and he said something that really got me thinking deep. Infact this has been one of my earlier thoughts and guiding principles, but for some time now, I've sort of left it, but thank God for mentors;they have a way of jump-starting you, when you seemed to be flat-footed! If you don't have a mentor who speaks into your life daily, you'll not be able to go far!
Mentors tell you where you are going wrong. They keep the fire of your dreams burning because in them, you see your aspired future. They've gone through stuff you'r presently going through and can give useful advice on how to overcome them without repeating their own mistakes. Please, find worthy mentors to guide you through your path of life! I can't over-emphasize this!
Now,back to what I earlier wanted to talk to you about...He said something like this " there are many old men who are regretting at their old age because they now realise that there are many things they would have done while they were younger! I want to ask you sir, ma, what is that thing that you're postponing and have not done yet,which you would regret when you are old? What is that burning desire in your heart that you really want to give birth to but you're afraid saying "will this work?"," I don't think anybody has done this before"...friends, unless you fulfil those dreams that God has given you, you won't be trully happy and fulfilled in life.
Five years down the lane what would you have become? Ten years from today that you are reading this post what would you have become? Let me give you a sneek preview, Ten years from now you will be exactly where you are in your dreams,goals,visions and aspirations for your life. I beg you, if you're still confused about what you are here on earth for please kindly do well to pick up books from the list of recommended reading below, I know you'll not fail!
Whatever you desire to do in life, God has built into you the capability to do them. You have been hard-wired to fulfill that burning desire in your heart. I wish you the best. Remember, the sky is never crowded for those who are willing to fly. Common, believe that you can fly, spread your wings, take the leap of faith and you'll see yourself soaring over the storms of life and reaching heights you've always dreamt of. IT IS POSSIBLE, I BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS!
Take Charge! You are too strong to loose!

OBTAINING PEAK PERFORMANCE
Peak Performance is something I would like to describe as the full use of ones potential. It is a state of absolute dexterity in carrying out one's duties as a result of constant practice and a deep sense of purpose and drive for achievment. Peak Performers are those that always want to be in the high enchelon on their desired profession.
Peak performance is a word that has to do with how a person decides to set high standards for himself and does everything possible to the best of his abilities to achieve these set standards. Achieving peak performance is by no means a small feat, you have to be up to it every second and everyday! I want you to settle it in your heart that henceforth, you'll become a peak performer in your field.
The steps needed to attain performance are quite many and challenging when compared to our ordinary disposition as individuals. Funny enough they are things we are usually used to,I mean, the concepts are not entirely new to you but the question is that of...have you been practising them? Are you willing to make certain sacrifices? and place higher demands on your use of time and resources at your disposal.
Here are some essentials for peak performance:
a) You must be an individual with high drive for success.You must have a burning desire to succeed. You should sleep,eat,walk and talk about your goals, your goals should be your obsession. And just like Mike Murdock puts it "In order to succeed your assignment must become an obsession".
b) You must have clearly written down goals that are Specific,Measurable,Achievable,Realistic and Time-bound (S.M.A.R.T Goals).
A man without a goal is like a ship without a destination, it would end up nowhere.
c) You must have a vision for your life that your daily activities are constantly moving you towards. Without vision, no great feats are attained.Without vision,getting out of bed in the morning becomes very cumbersome.
d) Who are your reference points? Who are those you usually associate with? Who are your mentors in business and in faith? You eventually become like your mentors. So watch those to whom you allow to speak into your life.
e) You need a daily communion with the giver of your dreams. Your spiritual life should be sound. After all, things in the spirit controls those in the physical. You need direction and instruction for every aspect of the journey.
I hope you enjoyed this. See you soon. Take charge! You're to strong to loose.

THE ZEST FOR SUCCESS: Keeping your eyes on the prize
Hello friends,I noticed recently some very funny trend in a man's life, especially as he begins to aspire to become someone of influence and significance. I noticed that it's not always that you are motivated to keep working at your goal! It's not always that you feel like getting up by 2 am and pick up that book and begin to read for that professional exam...hmmm... it's not everytime.
So, the question I ask is this: What would you do to keep your motivation levels at peak point and hence sustain your steady approach to achieving your goals and aspirations? I feel this is profoundly important that one addresses this issue,especially when you know that you are cut-out to achieve great and lofty ideals in life. You need to stay motivated and have enough firepower in your armory in order to win this battle of life.
I believe that to sustain your motivation level requires you keeping your goals ever before you. Now this may sound simple but believe me, it's one of the most difficult things you'll every try doing. I believe to keep your focus you need to have what I call a Zest for success- that is, you should be able to have an overwhelming burning desire that totally consumes you with a sense of purpose and mission as your goals. You should be resolutely sold to your course believing in no other possibilities than a resounding success.
The zest for success is achieved by constantly digesting materials that feed your mind. You need to get every page of inspirational writings and motivational tapes you can lay hold on, because, the more fired you are, the greater the level of zest you feel towards achieving your best. So, the steps are actually what we must have been familiar to from our previous teachings on these series.
Remember the greatest secret in the world? We become what we think about! Where you are now have a direct relation of how you see yourself and the type of work you do. So how big is your dream?
See you at the very top! Take Charge!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION: Getting your priorities right
Hello there, you are welcome to another time of "Inspiring Moments" with John Obuku. It's been quiet a while and goosh! what a big break! Am really glad to be back.
Over the past few months I have been going through certain things and have come to learn some very valuable life lessons...see friends, it's not just about talking the talk but it's really about walking the walk. In life you've got to match your actions with your words because it's your actions that actually determines who you really are.
Have you ever been in situations when it seems as if all you've planned for seem not to be coming to pass? When it actually seems as if you are between the devil and the deep blue sea? Those dark moments when you actually question your dreams and aspirations and ask if they are realistic and possible to happen in your life? Does that sounds familiar...hmmm...friends, you are not alone. Here's the good news...failure is not an option!
For the fact that you've envisioned yourself succeeding in proof that He who has shown you the picture of your future is more than able to fulfill it. He would not show you what He cannot bring to pass in your life. Those dreams are possible that's why He planted them into your heart. The real challenge here is that "do you believe you can still acheive those lofty goals despite the present circumstances surrounding you?".
I believe in order to succeed, an individual have to get his/her priorities right! You have to exclusively believe that what you've dreamt of is what you are going to get! It's called persistence,faith,burning desire, undying resolve...you have to clearly settle it in your heart that success is the only option you have. You were sent here on earth for something significant...reach for it...believe it...act towards it... get connected to the giver of your dreams and you can't fail...

PERSISTENCE THROUGH THE STORM: Moving ahead in crisis times
I have come to know that it takes the strong to make it in life, it takes the highly talented to make it in life. It takes the determined and inspired to overcome each obstacles with leaps and bounds, but wait...there are times when the going seems tough ,when all you've planned seems to fall apart! What do you do? Where do you go? It's not all the time you are motivated, I for one I live on motivation and being inspired all the time...but I've come to know that you are not always motivated all the time. So the questions is: what do you do when you seem not to be getting the results you really want to get?
There are also some reasons why you seem to be down. One of them I think is because you've actually stopped doing somethings you used to do! Yeah, do a mental check and deeply reflect of your daily routine in order to identify key areas of deviation from your normal inspirational flow! What are those things that motivates you that you've not been doing "as you used to?", that may just be the key to getting yourself on track and making it through any challenging times you might be presently going through. A wise proverb says " one of the definations of insanity is to be doing things the same way and expect different results". You need to define your motivation lines and keep working on them to be better. There's always a better a way of doing something.
One of the ways I have come to discover as ways to fudge ahead in stormy times is keep on the fire, keep doing those things that get you motivated! You may not be pleasant at the moment but keep doing it! I believe that our relationship with God is very very vital to passing through trying times! You cannot make it without His help, believe me, you need God to succeed! Keep listening to tapes, reading books, praying and talking with God, these are very pivotal to lifing your motivation levels, which ensures you pass through the storms and come out victorious.
You can make it! Just keep throwing wood into the burn-fire of motivation in your life! The wood is knowledge, keep reading, keeping studying and very importantly keep praying to God, the giver of your dream. You will make it!
