The truth is that we all have the Entrepreneur skill, we all know how to start out. It was battle royal among over a million sperms before you finally succeeded in becoming a baby. Likewise it took a lot of start up strength or energy for a baby to walk on her two feet. Observing my first daughter walk, I discovered why a lot of people don’t get result always. The truth is that there is no total failure; you definitely had experienced some successes in the past. If you carry out a careful assessment of your life, you will discover that you have done before what you thought could not be done sometimes in the past.
But to be a winner, or dominate in life, past victories don’t really count. They are only good as nuggets or catalyst for that victory you need to have now. The secret I am about to reveal, is the reason we always get result when it is a matter of life and death. We always get the desired result when there is a deadline.
Who is a winner? `A winner is someone that is focused on the end product rather than the process. While my daughter was learning how to walk, I discovered so many times that she would try to walk but fall. These falls, sometimes are fatal she would cry and sometimes sustain injuries. I also discover she kept trying, and she was getting better until she could walk, run and jump.
So I learnt the lesson that growth could be painful. So if in your past attempt at getting result, you refused to keep the memory of the end product which is your achievement, the accomplishment. But chose to store the pain involved in the process. So incase the only experience you stored about the process of growth is pain. So anytime the opportunity for growth presents itself, the painful experiences flashes, therefore a retreat to your comfort zone.
But if you understand that the pain is for a moment, that the result is more important than the pain. You will grasp the opportunity that life is presenting you. You have a choice, this system will never change; you are the one that will have to change.

CONFRONT YOUR PROBLEMS
CONFRONT YOUR PROBLEMS
Problem is the gap between where you are and where you are going.
Most times when we come across difficulties we tend to avoid them or choose another route. This is because our minds are dominated by fear and we think that difficult problems, persecution, afflictions are not natural things. Sometimes we are deceived to believe that it is because of our transgressions or inordinate behaviours.
The story of Job made me realized that even righteous people are faced with problems. Problems are reality of our lives that will definitely show up whether we invite them or not. So we need to arm ourselves with problem solving skills. And the truth is that we can only develop these skills by facing our problems.
There is no promotion without examination. Problems are the examinations of life, no wonder in the formal school mathematics they are also called problems. e.g. Hard Maths.
In order to move forward in life, we must face every problem that confront us, that is the only way to the top. If don’t kill the bear and kill the lion you can’t defeat Goliath. If you run from the bear, and run from the lion you won’t have the courage to face the Goliaths. Then who will crown you king.
Peradventure you come across a king, don’t ask for money, nor positions tell them to teach you how to solve problems. No problem, no crown.
