Feeling Like You're Getting Nowhere

 Feeling Like You're Getting Nowhere  Writer By Leon Ho  Do you sometimes feel you're not getting anywhere in life? You're working hard every day. You're giving your all. Still, you barely moved from where you started. You haven't achieved anything meaningful. That precious dream you have just looks so distant and unreachable. Like you were running a race that just seems to have no end. Like you were sleepwalking through life. So many people experience this every day... Students who graduate and don't know what to do with their lives. Employees who stay at the same job for 40 years and then wonder where their life went. Sadly, these people never make their dreams come true.  They never get to where they want to be. They know they need to change, but don't know the steps to take next. So, they end up wasting their energy and effort on things that don't make a difference. Why?  Because they have no clear purpose. Have you ever liked that? Like you had no d...

DON'T SEND ANYBODY A DM WITHOUT READING THIS!

  DON'T SEND ANYBODY A DM WITHOUT READING THIS!  Writer By Paul Chukwuebuka Do you care to know why people recieve your message online but they never open nor read it?  If you said YES, please keep reading...  Sometime last year, a Leader from the Leadership Tribe I belong to sent me a friend request. With joy on seeing the request i said to myself, I can't just add him to my list of friends I want to be getting his updates and all that too. So I sent him a message but he wasn't interested. I was a bit hurt not until i realized that the mistake was from my own end.  When you are typing a message to send to someone you haven't chatted with before, please construct it this way: • Greetings  • Who you are • The reason for saying hi Don't think to yourself,    * He should check my bio    * We used to be friends in secondary school, that alone should make him happy to see my message  * He's a student like me,  let me send him  ...

Why Must People Quit On Their Resolution

  Why Must People Quit On Their Resolution... Writer From Leon Ho  Over 80% of people fail to achieve their new year's resolutions. Yes, 80%. It's usually the same process... In January, they start working hard to achieve their goals. They remain consistent for a couple of months. Then, when problems arise and things start to get complicated, they quit. After talking to several of my friends who had failed to achieve their resolutions, I started noticing a pattern. They all had something in common. It wasn't their resolution to begin with. It was somebody else's. They decided to get promoted this year because somebody told them that's what they should be striving for. They set themselves to buy a new house because their friends believed his current one was just too small. Basically, they set their goals based on what society, their friends, and even their loved ones thought they should do. Not on what they truly wanted... All because they wanted the validation and a...

They Are Lying

  They Are Lying  Writer From Leon CEO For lifehack  It all seems so simple and easy when you watch these inspirational videos on Youtube, doesn't it? Those stories of the wild success and who dared to follow their dreams... - Ones say the secret is in waking up at 5 a.m. But Jeff Bezos (Amazon) never starts his morning until 10. - Others find working out 2-3 hours a day and a healthy lifestyle to be the key. Yeah, tell that to Bill Gates and Warren Buffet... - And the last (my favorite) - working hard. If that was a straight path to wealth, we would have billionaire miners. With so much confusing and contradictory information out there, it becomes almost impossible to do all those things AND stay sane. So we start blaming ourselves for not being superhumans. Meanwhile, the answer is simple: without focus, motivation is just fast food for your mind. It feels good for a moment... and it's damaging in the long run. You need to stop beating yourself up for watching Netflix, ...

Where Could I Find These New Friends?

  Where Could I Find These New Friends? I didn't Get What I Was Looking For  Writer From Leon Ho  There's nothing worse than having negative people around you. Think about it. One day, you feel like you're just about to give up. That you just can't keep moving forward. So, you go to a friend waiting to get the strength to keep going. What you find is different, however. I know because that's exactly what happened to me. I was going through a difficult situation in my life back then and almost didn't have any motivation left to keep going. All I needed was someone to encourage me. So, I went to a friend of mine looking for the motivation I needed. Instead of encouragement, he made me feel even worse about my situation. He told me to stop dreaming and do something else. That I was setting the bar too high. That it was a bad idea in the first place. He reinforced all the negative thoughts that made me look for his help in the first place. I came to him to get my en...

Email Is Free. How Come?

  Email Is Free. How Come?  By John Paul CEO For Smallstarter business  If you’re reading this, it’s likely you don’t pay a dime to Google or Yahoo for mail services. Yet, both are multi-billion-dollar companies. If you watch YouTube, it’s free. If you use Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media, that’s free too. And if you backup your photos and files online, it’s likely you use a free service. Guess what? It’s not just about making money from advertising. It’s about something more. Why do most of today’s most successful companies give some of their products and services for free? The answer: “Free” is a very powerful sales strategy. It’s a strategy that can significantly attract paying customers, boost your sales, and grow the size of your business. And that’s why most top companies use it. In this week’s episode of the Smallstarter Business Podcast, I explain how the concept of ‘free’ works. You’re going to learn the 5 reasons why giving away a sample of your prod...

Have You Ever Ask Your Self This Question

  Have You Ever Ask Your Self This Question Writer From Chibuzor Michael Onah Before that, let's talk about something very crucial and would be valuable to you if practiced. Please, listen. Life is vital and full of challenges. Nothing comes by chance. So if you want to venture into anything, prepare your mind for the possible challenges to come.  People give up on their goals easily because they didn't see the challenges coming, so they didn't prepare for it. .Soldiers don't go to battle without adequate preparation. They prepare because they know the battle isn't for child's play. So also, you should prepare to execute your goals in life. Life is not a bed of roses, never let anyone delude you into believing differently. Keep in mind that, we all have different challenges to swallow to become better persons. The questions to ask yourself is, Why do people give up on their dreams on the first attempt?  The answer isn't far fetched. Some people think easy of...
