Seven Steps to Success
1) Make a commitment to grow daily.
2) Value the process more than events( failure, setbacks, success are all events).
3) Don't wait for inspiration.
4) Be willing to sacrifice pleasure for opportunity.
5) Dream big.
6) Plan your priorities.
7) Give up to go up.”
~ John C. Maxwell
What’s the rags to riches story that has led a young girl in poverty to become the World’s wealthiest self-made female billionaire?
There’s a good chance the mobile phone you’re using has a screen made by her: “The Touchscreen Queen”, Zhou Quinfei. How can her billion dollar journey help you on yours? Here’s her three big steps to success:
STEP ONE: BE RELENTLESS
Qunfei was born to a poor family in a tiny village in China. Her father was blinded in a factory accident, and her mum died when she was five. Determined to be successful, she quit school at 16 and went to live with her uncle in Shenzen, saying "I don't want to die regretting what I didn't do.”
She got a factory job making watch faces for $1 a day, and sent the money back to her father.
Bored with the job, after three months she quit, but was given a promotion instead. Guessing why, she said “Maybe it was because my resignation letter was well written and this attracted the attention of the factory supervisor”.
She kept being promoted up to management but then in 1993, at 22 years old, her factory shut down. So she decided to take her knowledge, connections and $3,000 in savings and begin her own watch face factory, which she started next doors to her old factory.
The early days weren’t easy: ”Twice I even had to sell my house in order to pay my employees salary. Much like climbing a mountain, it's not your physical strength that will get you to the top, but your tenacity and persistence."
Then, in 1997 the Asian financial crisis hit. This is when her persistence really paid off. She went to the watchmakers who owed her money and settled their debts in exchange for their equipment. So while other factories closed down, she gradually assembled an entire production suite for glass processing for next to nothing.
STEP TWO: BE OPEN TO CHANGE
Six years later, in 2003, she got a call from Motorola, who wanted a glass screen for their new Razr V3 mobile phone: “I got this call, and they said, ‘Just answer yes or no, and if the answer’s yes, we’ll help you set up the process. I said ‘yes’.”
Her success with Motorola led to HTC, Nokia and Samsung also calling. Then, in 2007, Apple launched the iPhone, and picked Qunfei’s company as the supplier.
Ten years late, Lens Technology has 32 factories in seven different locations and employs more than 90,000 staff. Their glass is used in over 50% of all smartphones in the world, and in all Apple iWatches.
A year ago, Quinfei listed her company on the stock market, making her the wealthiest self-made female billionaire in the world. Today she is worth $6.4 billion.
STEP THREE: KNOW YOU’RE UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO BE YOU
Qunfei says when she was a child she would watch the rain falling on lotus leaves. That’s what later inspired her to create Lens Technology's patented, scratch-resistant coating on smartphones.
'Droplets of water would roll around the surface of a lotus leaf and not leave any trace,' she said.
'If it wasn't for my primary school teacher reminding me to be observant I may not have had the inspiration to think of my invention.'
Ms. Zhou also credits her detailed-oriented approach to her childhood. “My father had lost his eyesight, so if we placed something somewhere, it had to be in the right spot, exactly, or something could go wrong,” she said. “That’s the attention to detail I demand at the workplace.”
How can you see every closed door as a new opportunity?
How open are you to new opportunities that could transform your own success?
How can you use your past experiences to support your future vision?
Use Qunfei’s story as an inspiration for your own journey.
As a self-taught expert in glass, she’s a living example of how, with persistence, every glass ceiling can be broken.
In 1961, the US president, J. F. Kennedy, asked one of the most brilliant astronauts of that day, Neil Armstrong, " What will it take to go to the moon?". He responded, "THE WILL TO DO IT!"
Meanwhile, the technology to do it didn't exist at the time.
In 1969, the dream became a reality. And the US has not stopped going to space since then.
What did it take for you to succeed academically?
The will to do it!
What will it take for you to succeed in marriage?
The will to do it!
What will it take for you to succeed in business?
The will to do it!
Just think about that for a moment!
Those five words are the most powerful in any achievement.
Our WILL is at the Centre of every and and any success we have and/or ever want to achieve in life.
Summon your WILL and achieve that dream. Excuses paralyze!
Most people assume that their financial standing is defined by how much they earn, how much they’re worth, or some combination of both. And there’s no doubt that this has some bearing. Forbes magazine defines “rich” as a person who earns in excess of $1 million per year (about $83,333 per month, or just under $20,000 a week), and “poor” as someone who earns less than $25,000 a year.
But even more important than the quantity of money you make is the quality of money you make. In other words, not just how much you make, but how you make it—where it comes from. There are actually four distinct sources of cashflow. Each is quite different from the other, and each defines and determines a very different lifestyle, regardless of the amount of cash you earn.
After publishing Rich Dad Poor Dad, I wrote a book to explain these four different income worlds. Many people have said that this book, Cashflow Quadrant, is the most important writing I’ve done because it goes right to the heart of the crucial issues involved for people who are ready to make true changes in their lives
The cashflow quadrant represents the different methods by which a cash income is generated. For example, an employee earns money by holding a job and working for someone else or a company. The self-employed are people who earn money working for themselves, either as solo operators or through their own small business. A business owner owns a large business (typically defined as 500 employees or more) that generates money. Investors earn money from their various investments—in other words, money generating more money.
E = Employee
S = Self-employed or Small-business owner
B = Business owner
I = Investor
Which quadrant do you live in? In other words, from which quadrant do you receive the majority of the income on which you live?
The E Quadrant
The overwhelming majority of us learn, live, love, and leave this life entirely within the E quadrant. Our educational system and culture train us, from the cradle to the grave, in how to live in the world of the E quadrant.
The operating philosophy for this world is what my poor dad—my real father— taught me, and what you probably learned, too, when you were growing up: Go to school, study hard and get good grades, and get a good job with benefits at a great company.
The S Quadrant
Driven by the urge for more freedom and self-determination, a lot of people migrate from the E quadrant to the S quadrant. This is the place where people go to “strike out on their own” and pursue the American Dream. The S quadrant includes a huge range of earning power, all the way from the teenage freelance baby sitter or landscaper just starting out in life to the highly paid private-practice lawyer, consultant, or public speaker. But whether you’re earning $8 an hour or $80,000 a year, the S quadrant is typically a trap. You may have thought you were “firing your boss,” but what really happened is that you just changed bosses. You are still an employee. The only difference is that when you want to blame your boss for your problems, that boss is you. The S quadrant can be a thankless and difficult place to live. Everyone picks on you here. The government picks on you—you spend one full day a week just in tax compliance. Your employees pick on you, your customers pick on you, and your family picks on you because you never take any time off. How can you? If you do, you lose ground. You have no free time because if you take time off, the business doesn’t earn money. In a very real way, the S stands for slavery: You don’t really own your business; your business owns you.
The B Quadrant
The B quadrant is where people go to create big businesses. The difference between an S business and a B business is that you work for your S business, but your B business works for you. I have many B businesses, including my manufacturing business, my real estate business, mining companies, and others. Those who live and work in the B quadrant make themselves recession-proof, because they control the source of their own income.
The I Quadrant
This is not rocket science. My rich dad taught me to live in the I quadrant by playing Monopoly, and we all know how that works: four green houses, one red hotel; four green houses, one red hotel

WCA is for entrepreneurs. It is a global community of entrepreneurs

Guest Speaker Innocent Daniels joined in from Lagos and spoke on the "The Entrepreneurial Mindset". Addressed 6 Mindsets of an entrepreneur:
1. Perseverance. Business is not a sprint, it is a marathon. marathon takes persistence and perseverance
2. Flexibility. Create options to accommodate growth
3. Belief. Entrepreneurs must believe in their pursuits
4. Learning. All you know is not all there is to know. Be a life-long learner. If the world's richest man, Bill Gates, could sign up for a 6 weeks Nutrition/Health course, who shouldn't keep learning?
5. Curiousity. Be open minded. Observe indicators.
6. Optimism. Maintain an optimistic frame of mind about your business and the world.
Q and A
Q: How do we transfer commitment and get business colleagues to me motivated?
Ans: You cannot motivate and get people to be committed. Find people who are already motivated and committed to their dreams.
Q: How important is leveraging?
Ans.: Leveraging must be understood by every executive who desires to get ahead quickly in business. It means identifying opportunities, people, ideas, funds and resources that can provide the means to an end. Education is the study on how to leverage without depriving others of gain as well.
Q: Why does a lot of people rely on luck and "get-rich-quick" expectations in business, rather than acquiring the requisite skills and mindset.
Ans: There is not such thing as something for nothing. The work must be put in to produce the result. The good news is that WCA provides the means and support to get the work done.
Q: Why has education and some religious teachings put people into an unpleasant corner by propagation the idea of getting something for nothing. The idea of faith without works.
Ans: WCA has a role to entrench the principles of the bible and get people to embrace faith and success skills.
Time is not money. Time is life. The idea of exchanging time for money is an idea that cannot produce sustainable wealth. Sustainable wealth is the product of entrepreneurship (exchanging a VALUE (product or service)), and not exchanging time for money.
Without restlessness, a burning desire and a burning focus, religious affiliations, beliefs and limitations will always hold people back.

Pls share
Sometimes when I ponder on Proverbs 22:29 (Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.), I ask myself, "what was King Solomon really talking about here".
He made mention of the word "DILIGENCE IN BUSINESS" as the only criterion for standing before Kings. This is in sharp contrast to the popular belief of many lazy church-goers.....they prefer to shout Graaace, Amen, Hallelujah, Glory and fast for 7 days in order to receive favor from God after which they'll go back to their comfort zone. They refuse to follow their Faith with Work. They refuse to take reasonable risks. They refuse to be associated in any BUSINESS whatsoever, let alone be DILIGENT at it. They dream and dream all day long but refuse to wake up and work their dreams into existence...
And when a DILIGENT fellow somewhere, somehow finally makes it to the King's palace and can no longer have the time for inconsequentialities nor stand before 'mean men' as the Bible commands, they'll open their mouths to say the fellow is proud, negligent, worldly, money-conscious or haughty.
Funny enough, this is the same guy they were accusing of "loving money too much", being over serious or even becoming worldly... Then they'll go back and ask God why they're not successful, 'like their mates'. Where were you when those your mates were hustling to make ends meet? Where were you when they went to bed with only garri to sip simply because they chose to save up their little pocket money for some rewarding Financial Investment? Did you not call them stingy, book worm, workaholic and nerd? Did you not mock at their emaciated, slim and bony bodies? Did you not point fingers at their single, worn out clothes? Were you not busy buying the latest phones, gadgets, braid style, fashion, jewelries and opening charity for the classiest babes on campus? Now, so what?
Believe it or not, DILIGENCE IN BUSINESS pays.
Think about this!
~Obot Essiet Jr.
The Employment Mythology:
Most of us are so brainwashed by our circumstances that we think of employment as normal. But far from being historically “normal,” the whole concept of being an employee is actually a fairly recent phenomenon. During the Agrarian Age, most people were entrepreneurs. Yes, they were farmers who worked the king’s lands, but they were not the king’s employees. They didn’t receive a paycheck from the king. In fact, it was the other way around: The farmer paid the king a tax for the right to use his land. These farmers actually made their living as small-business entrepreneurs. They were butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers who passed on their trade through the family lineage in what have come down to us as common last names: Smith, for the village blacksmith; Baker, for bakery owners; Farmer, because their family’s business was farming; Taylor, derived from the tailor’s profession; and Cooper, the old term for the barrel-maker’s trade. It was not until the Industrial Age that a new demand began growing: the demand for employees. In response, the government took over the task of mass education, adopting the Prussian system, which is what most Western school systems in the world are still modeled after today. Have you ever wondered where the idea of retirement at age 65 came from? I’ll tell you where: Otto von Bismarck, the president of Prussia, in 1889. Actually, Bismarck’s plan kicked in at age 70, not 65, but it hardly matters. Promising their old folks a guaranteed pension after age 65 was not much of an economic risk for Bismarck’s government: At the time, the life expectancy of the average Prussian was about 45. Today, so many are living well into their 80s and 90s that the same promise might well bankrupt the federal government within the next generation. When you research the philosophy behind Prussian education, you will find that the purpose was to produce soldiers and employees, people who would follow orders and do as they were told. The Prussian system is for mass-producing employees. In America in the ’60s and ’70s, companies like IBM made “employment for life” the gold standard of job security. But employment at IBM hit its peak in 1985, and the whole concept of the solid, reliable corporate career has been in decline ever since.
“As GM goes, so goes the nation…” Here we are, half a century later, and things aren’t going so well for GM. Does that mean America is doomed? No, but here’s what is doomed: the myth of corporate security and the forty-year plan.
