This episode is titled 'Happiness is a Decision - 3 Ways to Stay Happy No Matter What'
Let me start by saying that happiness is your right! But it will not be automatic. Given the negative or unpleasant situations around you, you could be tempted to believe that happiness is reserved for some selected people. Meanwhile, Happiness is a Decision.
Happiness is your responsibility, it is described as a state of mind. I am not advocating that you deny the unpleasant situations or negative people around you, I am only suggesting that you make up your mind and decide to be happy no matter what.
You will have to choose between being happy and feeling sad. You are in control of your happiness, as such the situations or circumstances around you should not dictate your happiness. Now you see why I have tagged this episode, Happiness is a Decision - 3 Ways to Stay Happy No Matter What.
It is about what you want to experience. It is about you creating the feeling that you want to have. It is about you taking full control of your feeling. It it about you, making a choice to be HAPPY, No Matter What!
I shared 3 powerful keys to staying happy irrespective of the circumstances around you.
-
Define your values and live by them
-
Reprogram your mind and remove limiting beliefs hindering you from manifesting your inner greatness
-
Pursue purpose daily (do those things that advance you towards your purpose everyday)
I am hopeful that you receive value from this episode

This episode is titled Step out of that box'
There is a box keeping you small and limited. Perhaps your intention is to achieve greatness, but you realized that you find it difficult to do those things that will move you towards that dream of been great. This episode is aimed at empowering you to step out of that box and pursue your dream.
Your brain is wired in such a way that it tends to keep you safe and within what it feels is familiar based on your experiences. That is why each time you try to do something new, the brain will resist.
This explains why you consistently remain within your confort zone (box), 'safe place' if you like. This place of comfort is the most dangerous place to be. Yes, it makes you feel comfortable, but it deprives you of the fulfillment that life offers.
Stepping out of your comfort zone implies that you do what you have purported to do despite the fear. It means stretching your immagination and unlocking your potential. It means facing your fears! It means doing it afraid, it means embracing the process, etc.
Step out of that box means that you are willing to pursue that dream and see it to fruiting. Give it your all and watch how you become the person you were created to be.
I shared some powerful nuggets on how you can step out of that box and start living the life you were created for.

This episode is aimed at inspiring you to brace up and pursue your dream. How or where you start is not as important as the person you are becoming in the process.

I grew up in the barracks (Northern Nigeria). My father was in the force, hence we lived in the barrack community for over 30 years.
Barrack in this part of the world is a community of different people (religion, ethnic, beliefs, etc). The insights I shared was inspired by the lessons I learnt from my beloved mother on how she built bridges, not walls.
Despite the difference in beliefs, culture, religion, etc, my mum was intentional in her quest to building bridges of peace, understanding, communication, etc with everyone that encountered her.
The bridges she built still serves us good till date. The lesson helped to shape my values around relationship with people.This has brought immense benefit to my life.
Here are some lessons that I shared;
- You cannot run the race of life by yourself
- You need people
- Define your values and be committed to adding value to other people

This episode is titled 'It is Meant to Change you'
Inspired by Fred Devito's quote 'if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you' I have come to the realization that every challenge (whether big or small) is meant to change you.
Every challenge reveals your true self (strength and weakness) to you, it is a form of feedback that tells you about your current state (mindset, skillset, actionset, etc) and the need to upgrade. Man is in a constant process of growth, and challenges are one of live's natural process that brings about this growth (change).
Change also means Growth...
The reason it is a challenge is beacause at that particular point, you do not have what it takes to overcome the challenge, hence you feel stretched and some people feel overwhelmed by it. But as you adapt a positive mindset and embrace the challenge, you will acquire the requisite skills to overcome and become a better person.
Real change happens in the process of you becoming a better person. A better person in this instance means an improved person from the previous you...
That challenge is meant to change you!

Welcome to Designed for Success Podcast
This episode is titled 'Just Do It - Don't Rely on Motivation'
This is one of my favorite discussion points in personal transformation and personal growth related matters. One of the reason is because, I struggled with procrastination for a long time, such that I wasn't able to achieve my goals. Most times, I will be highly motivated during a conference, seminar, workshop, church service, etc. But as soon as I leave, it doesn't take more than 7 days and I am already back to my default mode.This state always left me frustrated.
Most times, I will wait until the mood comes, but I discovered, that once you are not in control of your mood, you will find it difficult to be in that state when you are inspired to pursue and achieve your goals in record time. This is because, you have to wait until you are motivated before you take action.
Most times, motivation doesn't come (you could be upset by your spouse, children, friends, job, economic), these are factors you cannot control. But you have given them the permission to dictate your mood.
Note, you cannot pursue your goal when you are in a bad mood.
The solution...
Just do it!
I learnt this principle from John Maxwell, applied it and the rest is history.
I shared my thoughts and three (3) valuable steps that will help you adapt this concept of 'Just Do It' whether you are motivated or not. It will work for you.
This principle can be applied in every area of your personal and professional life.
I am confident that you will gain immense value from this episode.

This episode is titled 'Inverse Paranoid - A Secret Sauce of Success'
I learnt this concept many years ago from the book 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Clement Stone.
I kind of fell in love with the concept and it has since became a secret sauce to my success in every sphere of life.
Remember, I have consistently mentioned in previous episodes of Designed for Success Podcasts, that SUCCESS IS A MINDSET. Well, the principle or concept of INVERSE PARANOID is one of such that makes success a mindset.
Inverse Paranoid puts you in a position (mindset), where you always lookout for the good in every situation, circumstances or events, no matter how bad they may seem.
Inverse Paranoid cultivates in you a mindset that consistently expects good and positive outcomes. You believe that everything happening is working or conspiring for your good. Irrespective of who or what is involved, you are convinced beyond any doubt that everything is happening to bring you good success.
I call inverse paranoid a secret sauce of success becasue if properly internalized, it has the capacity to rewire your mindset towards attracting success. This is the reality in my life. This is why I call the concept a SECRET SAUCE OF SUCCESS.
It keeps you in a constant state of learning and improvement, while been conscious that there is a lesson to be learnt in every situation, cirmustances, good or bad.
I shared 2 important benefits of inverse paranoid and I hope it makes meaning to you. Embrace it and I assure you that success will become automatic to you.

This episode is titled 'How you can develop confidence'
Confidence is a key component of success, it comes from a position of 'knowing' that you have all it takes. Confidence is not arrogance.
Confidence is directly proportionate to your level of awareness with regards to your ability to do certain things.
The more you become aware of your ability, the higher your confidence level.
I shared three ways to develop your confidence (from personal experience);
- Constantly trying new things
- Consistency
- Visualizing success
I am confident that you got value from today's episode.

This episode is titled 'Success is a Decision'

In this episode I shared my thoughts on 2 Vital Tools of Success.
The nuggets therein are practical insights from my life. I used to think that success will just happen, believing I will have all the good things of life as promised by God in the Bible, just like that without doing anything.
I got to a point in my life where I became angry with God because His promises, prophecies, etc were not manifesting in my reality. I almost gave up on God!
Until I discovered that although God has provided for all my needs, much more is expected of me to achieve and manifest it.
This is the basis of what I am sharing in today's episode. I learnt how to manifest God's promises into reality.
The two vital tools I talked about in the episode have really transformed my life and I am optimistic that it will change your life too.
Be ready to learn, unlearn, return and grow.
I recorded this episode using my phone, because, I just wanted to capture every detail of the inspiration when it came. Please pardon me for any glitch you experienced. Thank you immensely.

This episode is titled 'Saved to be a Blessing'
I am sharing my thoughts on why I think God gave His only Begotten Son to die in our stead.
According to the book of John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life'
Believing in Him means adapting His nature and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our behaviour.
The Bible describes God as love - IJohn4:7-8,11.
Anyone who believes in the saving grace of God is expected to manifest God's love (unconditionally), as exemplified by Christ.
I shared how we are expected to be a blessing to the world.
Remember, you were saved to be a blessing (to make a difference in the world).

This episode focuses on finding meaning in life, key to happiness and abundance.
The essence of life goes beyond money, career, achieving certain goals, etc I have seen many people achieve their set goals and still remain unhappy, unfulfilled and unsatisfied.
For instance, when someone sets a goal to become the CEO of an organization, they do everything possible to achieve the goal, but upon attaining this goal, such a person discovers there is nothing therein to give him or her that feeling of satisfaction.
The feeling of satisfaction, fulfillment and completeness comes when you find meaning in life.
Meaning in life is derived from your God-given purpose. In other words, there is a higher mandate or assignment for your life beyond just achieve personal goals.
Setting and achieving a money goal is not enough to make you happy in life. Little wonder why some people lost important relationships, families, health, etc in the pursuit of money and other personal goals.
Meanwhile, money is just a means and not the end! This is why money does not bring happiness.
What brings happiness and abundance is finding meaning in life. This will usually come from your passion, strenght, desire, ability, gift, talent, weakness, pain, challences, difficulty, desire for contribution or impact, etc
I shared some valuable insights that will hopefully transfom your life. Make sure you listen to it over and over again to get the lesson. Remember to share it with your loved ones too.

In this episode, I shared my thoughts on the principle of value-based-leadership.
Leadership goes beyond positional ranking. It is misleading to define leadership from the context of position. I think, this is where most of us are getting it wrong.
Leadership is all about caring, loving and adding value to others. Leadership is about making the world a better place, empowering people to live the life they desire and making meaningful contribution to the world.
John Maxwell says it all, 'everything rises and falls on leadership'
In side this episode you will learn foundamental principles that makes you a value-based-leader.

Today's episode is titled 'How to take 100% Responsibility for your Life - Effective Strategy'
It is common these days to find people blame others for their life outcome or result.
My intention is to move you from been a passanger to taking control of the driver seat of your destiny.
I delibrately said 100% responsibility, because that is exactly what it is. Life will not give you what you want, rather it will give you what you deserve.
Someone once said, it is insanity to consistenly do the same thing and expect a different result.
The bible says, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is.
If you want to really shape your destiny, such that you manifest the results that you desire in every facet of your life, then you must be intentional about taking 100% responsibility for your life.
It means, you are responsible for your success or failure in life. You can change and direct the course of your destiny to whatever you desire.
I shared 6 effective strategies which I believe will help you birth the destiny that you desire.

John Maxwell says that great leaders ask great questions. And I add, if you want to go far in life, ask intelligent questions.
The art of asking great question led to the invention of great products and services that we all enjoy today.
Curiosity is a strong desire to know about or learn something.
I believe that if you must achieve your life goals of fulfilment, happiness and abundance, you will have to adapt the principle of curiosity (in a positive way).
By positive way, I mean, asking and wanting to know more, for the purpose of birthing better solutions, products, services, offerings, etc.
I shared a lots of life-changing nuggets that will position you into becoming the person you were created to be.

I was listening to a radio program recently and the topic of discussion was a question that sought to know if it was man's nature to cheat.
It was a phone-in program and the responses from callers was shocking. Most of the respondents alluded to the fact that it is man's nature to cheat.
How ignorant they are!
Hence my motivation to do this episode titled "why you do what you do"
Inside the episode, I shared my thoughts on how man's outcome, results, behaviour and actions are shaped by his BELIEF and VALUE SYSTEMS.
Let us not forget that man was created in the image and likeness of God. Simply put, God's nature of Holiness and Purity lies within man. (God's DNA runs in man).
But man's belief and value systems were shaped by his experiences, exposure, training, environment, society, upbringing, etc.
All of those didn't emanate from God. But they happen to be the key drivers to his behaviour. He acquired the belief and value systems from his interrection with the society.

This episode is titled Relationship 101 - 3 Effective Strategie to Becoming a Person of Influence
Relationship is the hallmark of success, this is because, nobody becomes great or successful on his or her own (my opinion), without the support of other people. Cordial, harmonious and healthy relationships are pillars to the attainment of one's goals.
As such, every would be great leader, must aspire to become a person of influence.
John C. Maxwell describes leadership as INFLUENCE.
Influence means getting people to KNOW, LIKE and FOLLOW YOU.
People don't like, know or follow you because of your wealth, beauty, or domineering nature.. rather, they get genuinely influenced because of the exceptional lifestyle they see you produce or manifest.
In other words, they aspire to produce or manifest the results in your life (lifestyle). Hence the attraction.
In this episode, I shared 3 effective strategies that will position you as a person of influence;
-
Valuing yourself
-
Producing exceptional result(s) in your life (lifestyle)
-
Genuinely valuing people
I shared valuable nuggets that will make you an exceptional leader and a person of influence who will build healthy relationships that leads to a fulfilled, happy and abundant life.

This episode is titled "Value Yourself"
I believe that every good thing you desire to be, do and have starts when you understand the concept of "Value Yourself"
This is why I call it the mother of all success and achievements.
Someone once said, you see the world not as it is, but as you are. It is about your inner belief.
To value yourself means, knowing yourself deeply, your make up, belief, wiring, natural abilities, skills, competence, giftings, talents, passion, interests, strengths, weaknesses, etc.
It also entails knowing your purpose, mission or assignment on earth.
It goes further to show you the immense possibilities that lies within you.
"Value Yourself" is a concept that enhances your self worth. There is no way you can add value to other people, when you don't value yourself.
You give to people what you have...should you desire to lead a life of abundance? You must first understand that you deserve abundance.
I shared valuable nuggets within this episode and I hope you find it useful.

This episode is titled "Created, Equipped and Designed to Lead"
John C. Maxwell defines leadership as influence. In other words, a person's ability to get other people to know, like, trust and follow them is termed leadership (my opinion)
Leadership is not domineering! Leadership is not cajoling!! Leadership is not bullying!!!
John C. Maxwell also went further to say that "everything rises and falls on leadership" Safe to say therefore that the success or failure of anything depends on the capability of the leader.
It is important for you to understand that the concept of leadership was established by our creator. Genesis 1:26-28 (God gave man the mandate to dominate).
The word dominate as mentioned in the Bible meant, to LEAD.
Taking it from the context of John Maxwell's defination of leadership therefore, we can say that man was given the mandate to influence the earth and everything therein.
Hence the coining of this episode, Created, Equipped and Designed to Lead.
You will find valuable nuggets inside the episode meant to prepare and position you to fulfill this mandate.
Let me quickly point out here that, the fulfillment, happiness and abundance you seek is hinged heavily on fulfilling this mandate.
This also translates to living a life of impact, influence and significance.
Feel free to like, follow and share this episode with your loved ones.

Today's episode is titled 'The Golden Rule to Fulfillment, Happiness and Abundance'
The Golden Rule is a powerful principle, so much that Jesus Christ talked about it in Mathew 7:12.
"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you"
This principle is dear to my soul so much that I talk about it all the time.
It is a timeless principle that has proven to be the basis for fulfillment, happiness and abundance. Those are the by-products of living out the Golden Rule.
Just live by the Golden Rule and watch how the benefit comes back to you in full measure.
It is one way of putting your intentions/motives in check, such that everything you do unto others, your relationships, business, employer, employee, clients, etc is guided by the golden rule.
Be mindful that you will always get in the same proportion that you give out. The universe rewards us in the proportion of love, contribution, respect, concern, care, peace, happiness, etc that we give unto others.
This reward comes in the form of fulfillment, happiness and abundance.
I hope you will be mindful of the golden rule in all you do starting from today.

This episode is titled "Life is a Gift" I woke up one morning and was overwhelmed by this thought about life...
I asked myself,
what is life?
why am I alive?
what did I do to merit this life that I now live?
what is expected of me?
and lots more...
The questions kept coming, until I realized suddenly that Life is a GIFT!
A gift is described as something or anything given willingly without payment. It simply means that God gave me the gift of Himself (Life), willingly and without me deserving, meriting or asking for it.
This episode is filled with principles that will enable you unlock the code of leading a fulfilled, happy and abundant life.
Make sure you listen to it over and over again until you internalize the message therein.
If you understand it, you will be inspired to spend your life making meaningful contributions to the advancement of humanity.

Welcome to designed for success podcast.
Let me first wish every father and would-be-father, a Happy Father's Day!
I was inspired to host this episode "8 Qualities of a Responsible Father" because it coincides with the father's day celebration all over the world. I believe that if fathers take up their responsibilities more seriously, the society will be a better place for all.
Fathers must realize that they play an important role in shaping the destiny of their familiy (wife and children), as such, they must equip themselves to exceed God's expecations of them.
God expects fathers to chart the course for the family, in other words, it is the father's responsibility to take the family to the destination God had pre-planned.
These 8 qualities are faith-based, aimed at transforming fatherhood and the way it is perceived in our world today.
A better world is not the sole responsibility of government alone, the father plays a pivotal role in the scheme of things as well.
The success of a society first emanates from the family. The father must therefore define the future success he desires for his family, by helping them fulfill God's purpose.
This is one of my contributions towards making the world a better place (helping people discover their purpose in other to maximize their potential and become useful contributors to humanity).
Listen to the full episode for the 8 qualities of a responsible father.
Happy Father's Day

Welcome to the Designed for Success Podcast. In this episode, I shared my thoughts on how you can dominate in life.
God specifically called us to a life of dominance (Gen 1:26-28).
But this dominance is not the type that makes us become arrogant and domineering over our fellow men, like we see in the world today.
In my opinion, God called us to a life of leadership, to reign and be in charge.
In charge of what you may ask?
This episode uncovers how God wants us to dominate in life. Follow this principle and you will live a fulfilled, happy and abundant life.

In this episode, I shared my thoughts on the Secret of the rich that makes money gravitate towards them always.
The 5 step process shared in the podcast are lessons I gathered from one of the wealthiest men I encountered recently.
The 5 step process is broken down as follows
• Discovering purpose
• Write down your vision and mission statements
• Analyse your gifts, talents, competences and abilities
• Seek to become a person of value
• Deploy your God-given gifts
It is not the pursuit of money that makes a person wealthy, rather, it is the pursuit of purpose that guarantees success.
When you pursue purpose, money and other rewards will naturally gravitate towards you.
I hope you have been enriched by this podcast.

Welcome to Designed for Success Podcast. In this episode, I just want to encourage someone to be hopeful for a better outcome.
If you were not relevant in God's scheme of things, He wouldn't uphold or sustain you till now.
God's word is full of assurance that He created you for His good pleasure. In essence, His plans towards you are not for evil, but to bring you to a desired end.
God Has a desired end, planned for your life, but you will have to move closer to figure it out. He is the Vine and you and I are the branches, cut away from him, we can do nothing!
He planted us on this earth for reasons known only to Him. But His word assures us that his plans are for good, to have us lead a life of abundance.
My advise is for you to go back to the drawing board and establish a personal, intimate relationship with God (your creator).
This relationship will enable you understand His instructions, which will ultimately lead to your fulfilment (God's desired plan).
This is how to lead a life of purpose, driven by God. It is His will, not yours and not anyone's.
The solution lies in surrendering to God's will.
I hope you are encouraged by this Podcast. Please let me know how you have been impacted by the lessons therein.
God Bless you

Welcome to Designed for Success Podcast. In this episode "true success is achieved in your purpose", I shared my thought on the principles of true success.
Different people define success in different ways. But true success, in my opinion is defined from achieving your God-given purpose.
Your purpose or assignment is God's reason for creating you. It is not about you, rather it is about you fulfilling God's assignment for your life.
I mentioned some key ingredients that will help you discover, pursue and achieve your purpose.
Acquiring material possession, money or wealth is not success. Rather, those are the by-products or financial reward for pursuing purpose.
Pursue your purpose and you will be said to be truly successful.
Pursuing purpose is the surest guarantee to Leading a truly successful, fulfilled and satisfied life.

Today's episode is titled "God wants you to flourish"
The Oxford dictionary defines flourish as: to develop quickly, be successful, thrive, to grow well, to be healthy and happy.
The true meaning of flourish became real to me during the Lockdown necessitated by COVID-19.
My quiet time during COVID-19 exposed me to God's word in Psalm 92:12-15.
Irrespective of what you are currently going through, God wants you to flourish. What more can be more encouraging than having the God who created you make such promise.
In the podcast, I shared my experience before the lockdown, how I perceived God as a bully who always looked out for my faults in order to purnish me. As such, I served him from the point of fear.
But the story is different today, having discovered Him by myself!
I believe His plans for me are for good and he loves and wants me to flourish in every aspect of life.
I also shared 4 key ways to reprogram your mind and live your Dream Live in alignment to God's promise to have you flourish.
These principles are working for me and I assure you that if followed religiously, it will bring a better result in your life.

In this episode I discussed the title of embracing pressure and how it reveals your gaps, build your character and transforms you into a better version of yourself.
Pressure could be defined as a continuous exertion of force on or against something that is in contact with it.
Safe to say therefore that the essence of pressure in the context of personal growth is to bring forth something new.
Applying it to everyday life, pressure comes in various forms. It could be in your finances, relationship, career, health, etc.
Pressure exerts continuous force on you necessitating you to stretch beyond your limit.
The process of stretching exposes your weaknesses, enabling you to build the requisite character needed for your next level of success.
Pressure will push you out of your confort zone to a new level of experience called success. New outcome!
It isn't as much about the Pressure but more about the person you become afterwards.
Embrace Pressure, view it with a positive perspective and let is transform you to a better human being.

In this episode titled "Healthy Living - 3 Critical Areas that Contribute to your Success" I shared my thoughts on healthy lifestyle and how it contributes to your quest for greatness.
I have seen a lot of successful people who lost their health along the road of greatness. While success is good, it is meaningless without a sound health.
World Health Organization (WHO) submitted that Health is not only just about avoiding diseases. It is also about physical, mental and social wellbeing.
That is where a lot of people miss it!
Research has it that certain types of behaviour contribute to the development of noncommunicable diseases and early death.
Should that be the case, it means that you can develop healthy behaviours that will impact positively on your lifestyle. That is my goal in this episode.
The three (3) areas I focussed on are:
- The food you eat
- Exercise
- Sleep
If you master these 3 areas, you will be in control of your life and enjoy your accomplishments.

Hello and welcome to the Designed for Success Podcast. In this episode, I shared my thoughts on Faith and Fear emotions and how to change your outcome, results or experience to what you want
These two emotions are responsible for the current outcome, results or experience in your life.
One of the emotions must dominate the other to manifest its resultant outcome
Fear is described as a false evidence appearing real. It disempowers, cripples, and causes stagnation.
Fear leads to confusion, depression and frustration. There is nothing good about fear. As a matter of fact, it stops you from reaching your potential and becoming all that you were created to be.
Overcome your fear by facing it and doing the things you fear most. Leave any environment or people that enhances fear in your life.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. It empowers, inspires and motivate you to action.
It produces values such as persistence, resilience, tenacity, growth, discipline, consistency, confidence, etc.
Faith is the emotion that enhances your performance.
Increase your faith by feeding it with positive affirmations, visualization, spend time with positive people or environment, take 100% responsibility for your life, believe in yourself.
Let faith be the dominant emotion in your life and you will change your experience or outcome for the better.
Thank you for listening

Today's episode is titled "How to Overcome Any Challenges, Problems or Difficulties"
The strategies I shared in the podcast have been tested and proven. I use them to overcome any challenges, problems or Difficulties that shows up in my life.
Safe to say, the strategies have been valuable companions in my journey of fulfilment.
Challenges, Problems or Difficulties are necessary part of our success journey. As a matter of fact, I define success as the process of overcoming a difficult, challenging or problematic situation.
No one becomes successful without overcoming.
The strategies are built around:
-
Maintaining a positive stance. This attitude puts you in control, stabilises your mind to see new opportunities for overcoming the situation. Don't ever run away from a difficult situation.
-
It is a signal that you need to Grow. Problems, Challenges or Difficulties simply tells you that your current ability or capability is not sufficient to see you to the next level. Remember, every difficult situation is pregnant with something new. When confronted, it is time to grow in your knowledge, skill, academics, career, finances, relationship, etc
There you have it. These strategies will empower you to ride on life's situation and rule like the king that you are.
Always remember that you were Designed for Success.

Welcome to the Designed for Success Podcast.
In this episode I shared my thoughts on two fundamental factors that will help you reach your potential
Time and Knowledge
Time is defined as the currency of your life. It means you are exchanging your time for something. That something ought to be valuable to your potential, otherwise, you will just be wasting your precious life.
Time suggests that everything you do on earth is time bound. In other words, there is an expiration date for your life, hence you are duty bound to spend time doing things that propels you to your purpose.
Here is How to Master your Time
- Be intentional with time
- Spend time wisely doing the right things (things that contribute to your purpose)
3.Make the right choices
Knowledge determines how far you go in life. It defines your depth.
While formal education is good, informal education is lifelong because you need it to keep upgrading your skillset, improving yourself, growing in specific areas that are related to your purpose
Here is how to Master your knowledge
- Read books that are related to your purpose
- Spend time with people or mentors in areas that are related to your purpose
- Invest in yourself through relevant seminars, Mastermind, workshops
- Keep practicing, the more you do, the better you become in your field, gaining mastery and reaching your potential

Today's episode is titled "This One Thing will Accelerate your Success "
My experience as a coach, speaker and trainer has revealed a fundamental flaw in the way people go about Success.
Little wonder why some people will do shaddy things in the quest to be successful
Success to me is defined as "Reaching your Potential"
Your potential is God-given, it is inherent and God desiring to find expression through you.
This is why I concluded that, been successful is tied to one's ability to harness their potential.
That is what guarantees one's fulfulment.
The kind of success I talk about is one that relates to Divinity. The one that is tied to your potential (your assignment on earth).
I see people who get confused and frustrated about life because they pursue Success in the wrong way.
This one thing I talked about will open you up to yourself and set you up on the right pedestal of success.
Self awareness is a critical process in the journey of success because it reveals your strength, weakness, opportunities, passion, interest etc.
Self awareness will help you take the necessary actions that will bridge the gap between where you are and where you desire to be (your potential).
I also revealed the 3 type of people (confused, frustrated and fulfilled). Which one are you?
This Podcast is meant to Accelerate your success (help you reach your potential).
I hope it adds value to you.

Hello and welcome to the Designed for Success Podcast, this episode is titled "3 Most Important Battles of Life, Overcome them and Thrive
Life is a battle, from the day we were born to the time we will be called upon by our creator.

This is where mastery of Life gives you an edge to become all that God created you to be.
The key to this mastery is revealed only to those who make themselves ready and available.

In today's episode of Designed for Success Podcast, I will be discussing about the title "God is Upto Something Excellent"
The process of becoming successful, happier, prosperous and fulfilled is an exciting one. Well, I am saying exciting because that is what I feel.
While I feel excited about the process of growth, some other person may see it as daunting, insurmountable, tedious, or painful.
How you see it determines what you will experience.
God created and designed you for a marvellous life, but you will have to understand and align to His blueprint in order to experience it.
I have seen destinies cut short, people abandon the process of growth because they fail to understand that God is Upto Something Exxellent.
Gold is first refined through a high temperature before it becomes pure Gold.
An athlete subjects him or herself to rigorous exercises for the purpose of coming out top in a competition.
Same principle applies in your quest to becoming all that God created you to be.
Here are 4 invaluable steps I talked about in the podcast:
- Believe God and his word
- Maintain a positive attitude
- Practice gratitude
- Expect a positive outcome
Trust me, your life will be enriched after listening to this episode "God is Upto Something Excellent"

In today's episode of Designed for Success Podcast, I discuss the topic "Created for Impact"
If you were not required, you wouldn't be alive today!
When God created and dispatched you to this world, he gave you a mandate, which is to make the world a better place.
Making the world a better place implies understanding your purpose and aligning your whole life towards it.
It is simply MAKING A DIFFERENCE, CREATING AN IMPACT AND LIVING A SIGNIFICANT LIFE.
Every phase you go through in life is meant to launch you to your designed mandate. It is about solving the everyday problems around you.
Please listen and make up your mind to live a life of IMPACT.
Stephen A.
When something happens without a plan or unexpectedly, it is said to be an accident.
You didn't just happen....No!
God thought about you, breathed and made you in his image and likeness.
As a matter of fact, he knew you before your parents conceived you. It simply means your presence on earth is not without his consent.
He created and dispatched you to this earth for a reason, where it not so, you would have been long forgotten.
In this episode of Designed for Success Podcast, I highlighted tangible reasons why you are not an accident.
I encourage you to change your perspective about your situation, embrace the process and come to terms with the fact that you are on a mission to deliver something the world is waiting for.
