The story is told of a man who'd been paralyzed 38 years and stuck at a spot, waiting for his miracle to happen. .
.
One day, Jesus comes around that spot, and being a pretty nice guy, felt bad for this homie.
.
.
So Jesus asks "Do you wanna get well and outta here?"
.
Dude replies "I have no one to help me..." and proceeds to tell his sob story about how everyone's abandoned him.
.
That's not the answer to the question.
.
It's a closed question. .
The answer is either YES or NO .
.
Just like Jesus, life asks you tonnes of questions...
.
Do you want to be successful?
Do you want to be happy?
Are you tired of being passed over and passed by?
Do you want a better quality of life?
Are you tired of being broke?
.
Stop throwing a pity party, no one's attending .
.
Stop focusing on your sob story and limitations.
.
No one is listening.
.
Not even Jesus. .
He didn't acknowledge the man's weakness.
.
He just said " Get up pick up your mat and walk"
.
Notice that Jesus didn't give him a hand. .
He just gave the word and it...

I've got a confession.

I GET SCARED... A lot.

Now, I know I've got this whole tough guy image locked down, but sometimes, I get scared.

Scared you wouldn't read my messages.

Scared that I wasn't making any sense.

Scared that I should just focus on my Consulting practice and stop creating all these products

But I've never let fear stop me.

What most people never get to see are the countless hours that I put in daily to get life to work in my favour (and all the times it doesn't work)

But the reason I'm becoming a "success" is that I've worked harder than you.

Now, I know you're thinking; "what a jerk!

That's such an arrogant statement".

Hold on a sec.

I'm not discounting your time, effort or sweat equity.

All I'm saying is that I'm willing to fail more times than you're willing to try.

I'M WILLING TO FAIL MORE TIMES THAN YOU'RE WILLING TO TRY

It's a numbers game.

If I fail more times than you try, it means that my odds of succeeding are far higher than yours.

I'm not as smart as...

Hey 

DON'T LET DOUBT AND FEAR STIFLE YOUR DREAMS.

Take it from The #SmartMoneyWoman herself, Arese Ugwu @smartmoneyarese

If you haven't heard of her, then you've been sitting on a bicycle.

She's an amazing lady who's taking the world by storm with her Financial Intelligence masterpiece, THE SMART MONEY WOMAN.

And I also happen to be her coach.

Here's what she had to say about working with me.

"I'm sitting here reading my own damn book words I wrote...and I can't help but think about how self doubt and fear have the ability to kill dreams if you let them take over.

I almost didn't finish this book..there were months when I thought I was writing rubbish or months when I didn't write at all but I HAD MADE THE MISTAKE of telling Mr Ruthless execution Steve Harris that I wanted to write a book. He gave me lots of invaluable advice about the writing process but most of all HE KEPT ME ACCOUNTABLE.

In the months I wasn't writing, I WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM HIM like a child from a...

This Valentine's Day,

Don't be a victim of #bodycount

He's probably planned out his men-you for today...

Tolu's breakfast.
Halima's lunch
You just might be dinner...
Or the appetizer.

So hey, do something different this Valentine's day.

1. Realize that being alone today doesn't make you lonely ... Besides, were you sad last week? #nopressuretho

2. Don't be a desperate single chic... We smell it from a mile away, and he'll prey on you

3. Tell him you're keeping your legs closed until he's open to and has said I DO.

Will you lose a few fellas along the way?

Yup, but you're not an ATM ,where any Tom, Dick and (still expecting Harry weren't you) who has a 4 digit pin can access.

You're a vault.

Only the person with the correct authorization can get your valuables.

Besides, do you see queues at a vault?

That chic with plenty toasters just might be an ATM, dispensing generously Just saying. So hey, don't be on the menu, when you can own the damn restaurant.

So here's my Valentine's...

Now,

I know what you're thinking... what do you mean Visualize Failure?

Allow me to explain.

Every Tom, Dick and Sheila (let me guess... Still expecting Harry, right? What's my name?) SMH

Where was I? Ah yes... Every Tom .. You know the rest, tells you to visualize success to achieve your goal. 

• Think of the holidays you can have..
• Think of the nice cars...
• Think of the freedom...

I have a different opinion.

Visualize Failure.

Success is a harder proposition for most people because many haven't actually lived very successful lives.

It's like saying "visualize St. Tropez, Venice or Ibiza". You might have read online about them as tourist destinations, but it doesn't mean you're familiar with them.

Instead, I'd rather you visualize something you might be familiar with and that is ... FAILURE.

• Think about ... Never getting out of debt.
• Living an eternally average life
• Going through the motions of a relatively mundane existence
• Having more bills than money
• Working that dead...

Yeah,

Read that again.

You just might not be good enough... And it's #TheUglyTruth

There are certain opportunities that are time bound, that once lost, can never be regained.

Like being passionate about playing football and having a dream to play for Man United, but you're 43.

That's not gonna happen.

Lebron James may be living your dream, but you might never live it, why?

Well, for one, you probably don't have his talent, his work ethic, his self denial, the time he's put into it since he was a kid and time and chance just didn't collide in your favor.

Or maybe you're lazy, undisciplined, distracted, don't want it bad enough or just living in denial.

It takes a great deal of self awareness to admit that, and perhaps you can't.

Does that mean you should stop trying to be great?

No. Strive to be the BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF and realize It's gonna take time!

It's not gonna happen in a year, two or even five.

It takes 37 years to become a 37 year old.

Success isn't a lottery that you...

I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE!

This ain't me taking anyone out, but I'm gonna keep it real as always... Maybe it's because there are NO BARRIERS TO ENTRY or NO INDUSTRY REGULATIONS

Now, every Tom, Dick and Ismaila (you expected Harry, right? SMH) with a mobile phone, data and has read a Tony Robbins book feels they're a Thought Leader.

As far as I'm concerned, over 90% of these folks are UNEMPLOYED BUMS with way too much time on their hands.

Let me tell you who a thought leader is...

Thought leaders are the INFORMED OPINION LEADERS and the GO-TO PEOPLE in their field of expertise. They are TRUSTED AUTHORITIES who move and INSPIRE PEOPLE with innovative ideas; TURN IDEAS TO REALITY, and know and SHOW how to REPLICATE THEIR SUCCESS.

Many legit coaches I know weren't idle when they started sharing their message, they had cushy jobs and SACRIFICED ALL to help people solve their problems

Ask @jimitewe @iambankole @paulfoh @emekanobis @praisefowowe @remidairo @maureeniyasele who HAVE SACRIFICED...

IT'S TAKE YOUR BRAIN TO CHURCH DAY!

In a couple of hours, we'll be "CROSSING OVER" into 2017.

In a couple of hours, you're gonna be singing, dancing and clapping that YOU MADE IT into 2017, (like you weren't expecting to?)

In a couple of hours, your spiritual coach (Pastor or Imam) will be declaring a blessing over you. And that's cool too.

But even though like Abraham, you've got a blessing on you, you're still not gonna be able to put it into perspective until you're EXPOSED, INFORMED and hang out with the RIGHT ASSOCIATIONS who make your biggest dreams look like child's play.

That's why God (THE NEW ASSOCIATION) said.. "I need you to have a FRAME OF REFERENCE for this PROMISE since you ain't never experienced this before. You see those stars in the sky, in the milky way and the galaxies? (EXPOSURE) Do you think you can count them? You see the sand we're walking on, do you think you can count them? As innumerable as they are, that's how innumerable your progeny will be"...

IT'S TIME FOR YOUR LONG OVERDUE WAKE UP CALL.

Your hour becomes your day.
Your day becomes your week.
Your week becomes your month.
Your month becomes your year.
Your year becomes your life.

As you know, I'm all about #RuthlessExecution
