The Go-Getter's EagerBeaver

  Topics making a mountain out of a molehill 5 ways to stop beating yourself and increase productivity Conclusion MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL Viewed from a go-getter's perspective, self beating or habitual self blaming can be positive, particularly when it is situated within reasonable limits, being corrective, and positively applied. On the other hand it can be negative, especially when they assume dimensions or colorations of being extremely condemnatory and punitive against its host. As a matter of entrepreneurial routine or business best practices, a reasonable quantity of self criticism / blames is the go-getter's tonic and booster for progress, because it reinforces his productive capacity and instincts for self correction and sharpens his eagle's eye concentration on the grey areas requiring a need to be acted upon or reviewed. It fuels his ambitions and fires up his determination to succeed. Have you ever witnessed self beating / blaming at its extr

Topics A rising tide lifts all boats 6 traits to get good results Conclusion A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS A good result or outcome is popular, in the mould of a movie icon. Everybody wants a signed autograph. It benefits all. Like a shining star. It glitters. It radiates. It punctures the darkness. It is positive and contagious. It is pleasurable and fantastic. It plays sweat music to the ears. It gladdens the heart. Who doesn't love a good outcome? People scramble to identify with it. It's a goal all by itself. It's everyone's desire and ambition. We dream about it. We pray for it. We thirst for it. We long for it. We struggle for it. We scheme for it. We negotiate for it. We will gladly do ANYTHING to have a good outcome or result. Could you remember those good old days while you were growing up? I recall mine. O how I dreaded term endings when results are out and mine was not so good. I didn't cherish going home then. I always wished I could disappear some

  Table of Contents A miss is as good as a mile 6 means to sustain your success Conclusion If you asked for it, a go-getter could draw a graphic representation of Bitter and Sweet, Failure and Success for you without much sweat. Those are familiar grounds to him. He's been there before. He knows the terrain: the ups and downs, the dips and bumps. He has tasted them both in varying degrees. Throw him a curve and he's hardly ever fazed. Give him a challenge and he's hot at it giving it his best punches. Hand him a puzzle and he's working on it relentlessly until the puzzle itself surrenders and collapses in its own crack. Is he a magician? Of course not. Yet he climbs on where others are falling off. He moves along at a productive pace as if there were no obstacles and potholes on the road, where others dilly-dally and   resign to defeat. He is rich in productive ideas. He is habitually positive-minded and as tough as brass nails. Where others are speechless he find

  Outline Different strokes How you can stop being inferior DIFFERENT STROKES I have often often wondered what the heck they mean, when people say that being in a certain condition is a "state of the mind". I met two guys, Abubakar Jatto who was extremely rich and Shehu Sani who was remarkably poor. And I asked myself, how do you apply that idea to these!? Then I became inquisitive and sought to know more. I wanted to know what was responsible for the difference in the status of the two? Incidentally, both of them were in the same kind of business, so WHAT was the successful guy doing, that the unsuccessful one did not do? I had to get close to them, research extensively on the matter, and what I discovered was an eye opener. Jatto was confident, self-assured, bold, innovative, often risk-taking, and a go-getter. On the other hand, however, Sani displayed a great amount of inferiority complex, unfounded fears, weakness, lack of initiative and self assurance, and a

  Topics the burden of shame and disgrace 11 tools to prevent shame and disgrace   THE BURDEN OF SHAME AND DISGRACE If wishes had wings, one would fervently wish that the Carmel, that beast of burdens, could add to their load the duo of shame and disgrace which occasionally afflict humanity. Shame and disgrace can be daunting and tough to carry. Sometimes we find ourselves in a mess due to circumstances beyond our control - like harsh economic downturn, discriminatory and unfavourable  policies or conditions, etc - but usually they are results or consequences of our own misjudgements, misbehaviour and miscalculations, mistakes and failures.  However, not only can we recover from shame and disgrace if that unfortunate situation has already overtaken us, we can also take steps to ensure that we totally avoid them. Here is what we can do: MUD ON MY FACE: 11 TOOLS TO PREVENT SHAME AND DISGRACE 1. Who wants a burden? A burden inflicts pains and discomfort, it suffocates and deprives us of p

  Topics Introduction A self-defeated man 7 ways to self-boost and encourage yourself to succeed INTRODUCTION Self-encouragement is a psychological boost. It is the tonic the spirit desperately requires to survive. To excell we all need every bit of   encouragement we can get, because to succeed in life is neither a child's play nor a stroll in the park. Cops will tell you the road to secure a promotion is a tough beat. You have to work at it. You have to become a go-getter Beat your own drum. Sing your own praise. Similar to the analogy of the lizard whose habitual nodding of the  head is a symbolic pantomime of "if you don't appreciate me I appreciate myself". If you desire to dance sing for yourself or play your own music, no one else will do it for you. A child who holds out his or her arms gets picked up by the mother, while everyone ignores the one who doesn't.  And when you lack self-encouragement or self-boost, you are most likely to  lose your courage, be
