6 WAYS TO REDEFINE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT SUCCESS AND WINNING
The path to success and winning is not the same for everyone. Opeyemi’s model may be quite different from Emeka’s. You may have to unlearn, relearn and learn your own way to succeed in your chosen path or industry, and that is exactly what it means to redefine your thoughts and mindset about winning.
Consequent upon this preamble, I would like to share six ways by which you can actually chart a winning course for yourself, without necessarily feeling guilty that you are not playing the script of another person.
▪Does it matter when you sleep or awake?
Much has been said about effective time management, getting enough sleep, work-life balance and the like. But in all of these, what matters most is what you are able to achieve while you are active, be it in the day or at night when others are asleep. You do not need anyone to dictate to you when to awake or when to sleep. That’s your sole business to determine. Again, your system will tell you. Besides, what role does sacrifice have to play if you get too conscious or careful about when you sleep or awake? Although this is not a call to compromise your health, you must learn to make sacrifices because there is time for everything.
▪In what state are you when your ideas creep in?
You need to understand your body and person. You must be able to discern your mood or state of your mind at given points in time. Additionally, you must ascertain the condition type you are in when your ideas spark, creep in or play around your brain or mind. If you do, you can then work on getting yourself in that state. Your ideas don’t creep in or spark always. When they do, though, can you discern such moments? You should know that they may not surface during rigorous moments. In point of fact, they may develop in your sleep or between sleep and waking up. They may even manifest while you have a bath. In spite of these, it is important that you put yourself in the position of calmness, introspection and, more importantly, prayer, so that you can make connection with inspiration.
▪What are your strengths as a business or a person?
It is absolutely vital that you know for sure what your strengths are, whether as a personal brand or otherwise. What is it that you do with relative ease? What do you do better than others? What talent/skills do you have that are unique to you? This is a key requirement. Take your time out to ensure that you have definiteness about these, and you are very well on your way to winning. With this, you do know that everything is not for you; every food is not meant for consumption; you don’t play in every arena; you do only that which resonates with you, and for which you are both endowed and built.
▪What value do you add to those within your space?
First, you need to seek clarification on what value you add to others: potential or actual. Next, you must define how your strength transforms to value for your clients/customers. This is the only way you can measure the impact of your solution in the market where you are an active stakeholder. There can be no definite solution proffered to a problem you have not identified. Solutions are values based on problems that trend in your space. You must be deliberate on value and have your mind or thoughts wired accordingly. It will liberate you and elevate you to uncommon levels...
