Murphy's Notes

It's been two weeks since we dropped a new episode but this episode is three in one. On this special episode, we discuss with Dr. Okezie Ochuba about some of the key principles that young people need to imbibe centred on finances, early career, and family life. Dr. Ochuba is a seasoned administrator, leader, and entrepreneur. He has mentored lots of young people over the years who have gone on to achieve resounding success in their various lives. It was a very interesting time drawing from his wealth of wisdom.

Today's note is about feedback. Beyond mentorship and gudance from people who have gone ahead of you, one of the things that can fuel your journey is feedback. It helps you guage whether you're on track and helps you to adjust your sails.

In the last episode, we talked about speaking to Alice. It was a lesson on seizing opportunities. Today, we talk about some things you can do to increase your chances on the famous "table" of negotiation. We also explain the concept of value and perceived value.

Today's note is a lesson on opportunities inspired by the popular song by Smokie titled "Living Next Door to Alice". Sometimes we're tempted to wait for the perfect time and conditions to do the things we need to do. But most events in life are time-bound so we must learn to rise to the occasion and take action, or someday when it's too late, we just might watch Alice drive off in a limousine. Speak to Alice and speak NOW!

The number of hours in a day is constant - 24 hours. The time is limited but we can adjust the way we use it. In this episode, we share two learning hacks that can help you consume information faster and get more done in less time. You may not get more than 24 hours from the clock, but you can compress 30+ hours into 24 hours if you apply some simple principles.

A lot of times, we find ourselves getting stuck in the learning phase. You have so many hours of training under your belt but so few hours of practice and application. As much as it is important to learn, it is even more important to apply because you can only be said to truly know something to the extent to which you have applied it.
