If you have visited many board rooms as I have done, you have probably been asked this question several times that you may have lost count. Not me. I always take note of all rejections and assess why. I then take time to consider common objections and ideal responses. In these #COVID19 times, you have to think away from the box to win. Businesses are struggling and the none-resilient ones are closing shop. Many people are losing their jobs. The law of the jungle has never been real than it is today. The big and shrewd animals are having the…
The best of WhatsApp: There is tomorrow.
I own a company, none of my staff knew me as the owner except the Manager and the Secretary. (I had told them not to disclose my identity). I don’t usually go for a visit. One day, I visited the company and I saw my Ex-wife, who had thrown me out of my own house. I asked the manager and he said she is one of their staff. I instructed the Manager to promote her to the Personnel Officer, gave her a car, a bungalow, garden boy, security and other emoluments. An undeserved position though, of which he did. A…

Few people may remember that on 27th March 2017, the same Joshua Cheptegei collapsed in front of the home crowd at Kololo, which had the first citizen, as a spectator!

A good attitude is the best motivation
Outliers and many folks who have succeeded in their respective careers and professions are people who have self-drive, passion, and the right attitude when confronted with challenges.

There is a healthy person who dedicates his time to training harder. Puts in the time to go the extra mile. To wake up early and do something come rain come sunshine. Someone who is self-driven to achieve beyond the motivations their coaches or close…
