Herewith is his insight in a nutshell:
Master your money by doing what you do best!
“The seed of greatness is trapped inside a mango tree”
- Great leaders do not search for followers.
People do not wait for the mango tree to come to them
but go for the mango tree - you are unique; tell and articulate your vision; do
what you do best and your prospective customers will search and find you!
Transform your lives in a way that will impact
people’s lives positively.
On Mastering money – you should always remember that
starting a business is like race (marathon) and not a sprint. Like a Chinese
Bamboo tree which takes 5 years to get out of the ground but takes only 6 weeks
to grow 90 feet tall, you need to be patient.
“Biggest profits are not entirely attained through
good sales people but mostly through a good relationship between a buyer and a
seller.” You need to have conviction in your product before you could try to
sell it to someone else. Put your customers first; tailor your offering to
their specific requirement and always to surround yourself with Only Quality
People (OQP).
The business is “Hard and Heart” – The business should
be something close to your heart, it must be in you, although you will go
through difficulties you will prosper because it is in you, “You Can, You Will
You Must!”
The seven Steps to success:
- Be Cool - no matter what the world throws at you
stick to your vision and conviction.
- Reflect before
you act - On the product that you have and on the service you want to offer; on
your Unique Selling Proposition.
- Tell your Vision -
Never stop promoting yourself; know how to ignite the spark in your
business
- Be up to Date - Put your ear on the ground about new
developments in your area and beyond.
- Knock until
someone opens – Success comes to those busy doing something about it and not to
those who are looking for it.
- Take care of your Health and do something you love.
- Make things Happen – People are waiting for you to
happen to them; they are waiting for you to transform their lives.
“If it’s pushing you
enough to go fight for it; to work day and night for it; to give up your time
and sleep for it; if all you dream and scheme is about it; when life seems
useless and worthless without it; and if you gladly sweat, plan and pray for
it… with the help
of God!
