In the last couple of weeks I have been reading bits by bits more on the Film Industry and the business opportunities it affords, considering the fact that I already have a retail business in the field that is currently growing in leaps and bounds – I sought for higher knowledge on the field.
Everything was knowledge until this morning; I woke up around 2:30am to 3am to a hint I got in one of the articles I read about the industry and right there and then a new business idea was birthed. I am so excited about this idea that I can’t wait to launch but this short piece isn’t about me and it’s not to show off an idea that has not even kick-started yet but to emphasize a quote I heard some time ago that says, “We will be the same person we are 5 years from now except for the books we read and the people we meet”.
The simple question is would you love to be what you are now in 5 years time? The answer is usually a capital letter, NO but what is it that you are doing differently today to guarantee that 5years from now will be better than today? When you do the same things and expect different results, somebody says that’s insanity.
I love Bill Gates, Mike Adenuga, Ali Baba, Dangote, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Deolu Akinyemi, Shola Animashaun and a lot of other great peeps doing wonderful things but there is something I observed in all of them – they know and have access to people everybody don’t and they know something everybody want/need to know; that is the secret of their riches and success.
Read an article, watch a movie, listen to movers and shakers of our world – the idea that will make your name resonate all around the world is just around the corner – you can’t afford to exert all your time on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs reading about other people making things happen. When are we going to read about what you too are making happen?
