It is up to you!

It is Up to You by Jim Rohn
One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you.

This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.

Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.

This isn't true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.
The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you "you must do it yourself.

Now, some people may say, "Jim, that's a lot of responsibility." Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life.

Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do "just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. "It is up to you" is a great blessing!

Here's why:
1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to start a small business and stay there. That's great because you can choose that. Maybe you want to create a small chain of stores. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That's okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.

2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return "or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.

3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.

4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.

Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? DO you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, "It is up to you?"

You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.
And that is very exciting!

Why are we still producing only employees and not employers?

In India, if 18 or 21 year old students or graduates tell their parents, relatives, teachers or anyone around them, that they have a great business idea and would like to start working on it, they would be laughed at and their idea will be dismissed as a joke. They will have more chance at convincing their elders that the earth revolves around the moon; than that they can build a successful company. Mark Zuckerberg was barely 20 when he started facebook; had people around him dismissed his idea as a youngster's stupidity, we would still be sending emails and SMS to our friends. Forget about Facebook, Paul Allen was 22 and Bill Gates 20, when they started Microsoft. Think of all the good things we would have missed if they were stopped. Why are we still producing only employees and not employers? 

There are several reasons for this. Our society seems to dawdle with the idea that business is passed on in genes and only a businessman's offspring would possess the ability to start and run a successful business. Our educational structure is more interested in theory than the practical approach; our middle class and upper middle classes mostly stay away from businesses. Our society thinks that youngsters don't have enough real life experience, to make the right choice; and above all, we have failed to accept failure. The truth is that, the society itself is restricting the number of innovators and genius business men it could have produced.

It is said that a child is born agnostic. Our society instills all of its traits and characters into them, and along with these traits, is the idea that business is not for us. Parents and elders seem to have pledged to make their child an engineer or a doctor and show zero interest in what their child really cares about, or wants to be. The bollywood movie '3 Idiots' brilliantly portrayed this aspect of the Indian society; we seem to have come to the conclusion that the purpose of life, is to take lesser risks and choose a path that offers an assured job and a lot of money. Interest and aptitude seem to have taken a back seat in the society; and in such a society there is no room for a Zuckerberg, or a Gates, or a Jobs.

An education structure, which is crafted according to the attitude of our society, cares little about anything, other than theory. The structure enables the students to get good grades and marks. But most of the students who graduate from Indian universities, have little or no real world practical knowledge. Companies are put in a difficult position when they hire these grads, as they will have to give them extensive training, to make them efficient. Nowadays, the companies also seem to have come into terms with this reality; we are literally manufacturing engineers, when what we could use more are scientists. Like in the U.S. or the UK, we need to weave in entrepreneurship to the very fabric of our society, so that the future generation will have the mentality to try something new and create a difference in this world. This can only be done through a total restructuring of education; our education needs to have more real world projects and assignment that would help students gain a practical perspective of businesses. We should move ahead from providing services and should concentrate more on research; then we will see more and more employers popping up in the country.

Parents in the country have to realize that they are training their child to be a part of someone else's works force, rather than becoming someone who employees the workforce. This idea of not thinking beyond working for someone else might have its root in our long history of being ruled by foreign powers, but that time has passed and we need to move ahead. A good majority of the people who made it big in this world, started trotting on that path early on; your motto should be, 'let them be all they can be.'

"It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward," a famous quote from Sylvester Stallone's 2006 movie 'Rocky Balboa', captures the essence of winning completely. It is always about accepting failure, recovering from it and moving forward. Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Recently in NASSCOM Product Conclave, Vinod Khosla said that "I don't mind failing, but when I succeed it better be worth succeeding." It is attitude like this that needed to be instilled in the youngsters and not a fear of failure. We need to learn to accept failure and move forward.

My Take:

What about us, are we still producing employees or moved to produce employers? Does the system of our education gives spaces for creative minds like Zuckerber, Gates, or Jobs? We have been witnessing lots of dramas when its time for our students to got for field, is this a healthy situation for our future? May its about time now to ask ourselves the above question.

UAE Government pursuing development of Direct Selling Industry

Wakati Watanzania wengi na zaidi wale wasomi wakiwa bado wana mtazamo hasi (NEGATIVE PERCEPTION) kuhusu mfumo au Taaluma mpya (The New Professionals by Dr Charles King) ya karne ya 21 ijulikanayo kama NETWORK MARKETING au MULTI LEVEL MARKETING au DIRECTING SELLING na tena bila kujisumbua kufanya utafiti, nchi zilizoendelea zikiwamo Marekani na zile za Uarabuni zinaiona N.W.M kama mkombozi kwa wananchi wao, fuatiria hotuba ya Mkurugenzi wa Uchumi UAE H.E.

The New Professional - N.W.M Taught at Universities in US

Dr Charles King Interview

Tim Sales: Now I would like to show you an Interview that I’ve done with Dr Charles King who hold PHD from Harvard and is the Professor of Marketing at the University of Illinois at Chicago who actually teaches Network Marketing at the university.

Q: Dr King we are delighted to have you here,

A: I’m Pleased o be here Tim,

Q: Dr can you tell us a little bit of your education and business background?

A: Tim, I’m Professor of Marketing at  the University of Illionois Chicago, I got my Basters and Masters Degree from University of Texas in Austin, Its been tour of duty in Exon Corporation and then return to get my Doctorate in Business Administration from Harvard University, more importantly this discussion, over the last six years, I’ve been involved in doing research, teaching,and consulting in Network Marketing.

Q: So coming from such conservative school, and I know your little bit conservative, what cause you to look at Network Marketing to begin with?

A:, in 1990 we had a major economic recession in United States, the mid west and Chicago i particular were badly hit, as a results the interviewers stopped coming to campus, we are graduating hundreds of  students every semester and they weren’t getting jobs, our alumnae were coming back to us loosing their jobs, looking for help, we had nothing to offer them.

I started looking, because of my background in business consulting at an alternative career paths, I went out and looked at starting your own business, a home
 based business, I looked at Franchising,  I looked at Direct selling, and in the Direct Selling arena I backed in to Network Marketing.

 Now I was very Cynical Skeptical, Tim; I was NEGATIVE about Network Marketing, they don’t teach N.W.M at Harvard Business School, and I didn’t know much about it,
The result was, when one of my student who was in the team asked me,

"Why are you so negative about N.W.M"?I looked at that Youngman and

I said, Son, I know enough to know, I don’t need to know anymore.
 

That student looked at and he said, Professor, if I give you that answer to that question, with no more information that you have, you’ll give me an F,

I turned to him and I said son, you’re absolutely right, I’ve no basis for that conclusion, you’ve just made an “A”.

 As a result, we went to the library, we held meetings for the next 6 months, we did due diligence on Network Marketing industry, I visited the top companies, I talked to N.W.M leaders, I became N.W.M Evangelist, in 1991 we started teaching N.W.M at the University.

Q: Was any resistance from the dean of the school at the alumnae?

A: As it turned out our dean at the time was a very entrepreneurial operator, he was looking for outreach programs that we could initiate.

I had done my due diligence; we were getting good review in terms of student responses, so the dean said, maintain your professional profile and lets move to forward with N.W.M.

Q: What’s your view of the industry in N.W.M now and where do you see it going in the future?

A: Tim, the industry is coming of an age, today we have computer and management information systems, which makes it possible for N.W.M Company to organize sales force so effectively that we can sale in Korea (Tanzania), in Korea one, instantaneously convert that Korean one sale into US Dollars sale post that to distributors commission account in the US and pay that distributor in a week.

 Never before in the history of this industry has that been possible. So we are going through a dramatic technologic waves in the 1980 – 1990, I argue now we are moving into the wave of professionalism, and I emphasize the professional of several levels,

1.    We are seeing more and more professionals like; Physicians, Dentists, Attorneys, CEO’s College professors going into N.W.M.

2.   We are seeing a completely different attitude on the part of the press, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Chicago Tribune, regionally dailies around the US are giving N.W.M a very positive press.

3.   On the other end the Universities are accepting N.W.M as legitimate channel of distribution, the university of Illinois Chicago has offered the first certificate seminar in N.W.M history of the industry,

4.   The University of Houston is going to be sponsoring N.W.M as their outreach entrepreneurial programs, we are seeing more and more community colleges setting up N.W.M forces on their campuses, so I see this industry going dramatically over the next ten years, its currently a 20bn $ industry in the US, with 7 – 10 distributors in operation.

We are expanding globally into Asia, South America, Europe, Africa, the industry is growing about  10 -12% yearly in contrast to 3 -4% traditional retail sales. So on my view the Industry is absolutely coming of an age.

Q: Suppose you run a super skeptic, what advice do you have for them? 

A: Tim, I would recommend they do precisely what I did, I was a Super skeptic, I did my Due Diligence, I investigated the industry, and I drew my own conclusion.

 I would suggest to any one serious looking at N.W.M that they might read a couple of key references.
They might read two specific references.

 First, I will recommend The wave 3 way to build your down line by Richard Poe,  Poe put the industry in perspective in a very readable and enjoyable way.

Second, I would suggest by skeptic degree is one published in 1998 by Mark Yarnell and Rene Reid Yarnell, entitled Your first year in N.W.M.

 I strongly recommend that you do your due diligence and then begin to define precisely what role you wanna play in N.W.M industry, set realistic expectations, if there is single cause of failure in this industry is it’s the “GET QUICK RICH Syndrome”

 Thinking that you can come in the industry and make enormously sums of money without effort! I argue by contrast, if you set a realistic expectations, develop plan of action to guide your business development you can be successful.

Q: If someone were to come to your course, whether its in Houston whether its in Chicago, what would they learn?

A: What we’ve tried to do in that program is apply the basic skills of entrepreneurial management, specifically to managing a N.W.M Distribute Organization, we start by developing a business plan for N.W.M Distributor.

 The second module, after building on the business plan, is to talk about how you implement the plan, how do you build a down line organization.

 The third Module is talk about how to manage your business, from the idea of managing your organization as you start building 10, 30, 70…several thousands people in your group, on into managing business as financial profit machine.

 Tim, as you can tell, I believe in this industry, for a small financial investment and commitment in sweaty equity, hard work and dedication, any one can be successful in N.W.M

"Naomba Shillingi ishuke ifikie Ths 5,000 kwa dola"

Nimekuwa nikijiuliza maswali mengi sana kuhusu mtazamo hasi (NEGATIVE PERCEPTION) wa baadhi ya watu, tena si wachache, ni wengi kweli pale mtu anapowaambia kuhusu Biashara ya ya Masoko ya Mtandao ama Network Marketing, au Multi LevelMarketing, Referral Business, Business of 21st Century, DirectSelling, Recession Proof Business, Nk.

Katika kufanya utafiti nimekutana na watu maarufu duniani wakiwamo marais, wasomi wakubwa, wafanyabiashara wakubwa duniani ambao wameamua ama kuifanya ama kuipigia debe kwa nguvu zote kwa ni mkombozi pekee anayeweza kumtoa mtu katika maisha ya chini kabisa na hatimaye kumwezesha naye kumiliki si pesa za kutosha bali nyumba na usafiri wa maana, (angalia mfano wa Bw na Bi Kayombo)  katika karne hii ya 21 ama Zama za habari (Information Age).

Nimekuwa nikijiuliza watu hawa wengi wenye mtazamo hasi wanajua nini ambacho mtu kama Donald Trump na Robert Kiyosaki hawajui? ama wanapesa nyingi sana kuliko Warren Buffet na Donald Trump? Pengine wana nafasi ama mamlaka kuubwa kuliko aliyowai kuwa nayo Bill Clinton? Labda ni wasomi sana au wachumi kuliko Paul Zane Pilzer na Dr Charles King? au maarufu sana kuliko Robert Kiyosaki?

Pengine wananafasi katika jamii yetu kuliko alizowai kuwa nazo mtu kama Juma Kapuya, au Mbunge wa Dodoma Mjini, ama alizonazo Mch Getrude Rwakatare, lakini ikiwa huna pesa kuliko Warren Buffet au Donald Trump, fikiri mara mbili juu ya fursa hii, ama hunayo au huna elimu kama Prof Paul ZanePilzer na Dr Charles King, tafakali, au hunazo au huna nyadhifa kama alizowahi kuwa nazo Bill Clinton, chukua hatua.

Afrika Mashariki kuna watu wasiozidi laki moja walioamua kufanya fursa hii, hawa ndio wanaofurahia kila siku inapotangazwa kuwa shilingi imeshuka thamani, je ni kwanini wanafurahia kushuka kwa shilingi?  Jana nilikuwa naongea na dada Mmoja anaitwa Erika, yuko kwenye NWM kwa muda wa mwaka Mmoja na nusu sasa anasema, nami nanukuu, “Naomba shilingi ishuke kila siku, ifikie hata 5,000 kwa dola moja”

Kwanini anasema hivi? Network Marketers dunia nzima wanalipwa pesa zao kwa Dola za marekani, yeye mwezi uliopita alilipwa dola 6.800 na ushee hivyo kama thamani ya shilingi ilikuwa sawa na 1,700 inamaana atakuwa na zaidi ya Tsh 11.5 Millioni, na mwezi huu anatarajia kupata zaidi ya dola 7,000, je si anasababu ya kuomba shilingi izidi kushuka?  kwa nini? dola 6,800 x 5,000 (kama anavyoomba) = Milioni 34!  kwanini Wanamtandao wasiendelee kuomba shilingi ishuke?  

Katika picha ni Bwana na Bibi Kayombo, walikuwa watu wa hali ya chini, angalia maisha yao kabla na baada ya miaka miwili ndani ya Network Marketing, jiulize hawa wamewezaje na wewe washindwaje? tuna bahati sana kuwa wakazi wa zama hizi za habari, tumerahisishiwa vitu vingi sana ikiwamo namna ya kutafuta ukweli wa jambo kwa kupitia ICT, tujaribu kutafuta ukweli wa jambo lolote tukutanalo badala ya kulidharau na kupuuza tu.

It's a Challange to Succeed - Jim Rhon

It is a challenge to succeed. If it were not, I'm sure more people would be successful, but for every person who is enjoying the fruit from the tree of success, many more are examining the roots.

They are trying to figure it all out.
They are mystified and perplexed by what seems to be some strange, complex and elusive secret that must be found if ever success is to be enjoyed.

While most people spend most of their lives struggling to earn a living, a much smaller number seem to have everything going their way. 

Instead of just earning a living, the smaller group is busily engaged in designing and enjoying a fortune. Everything just seems to work out for them. While the much larger group sits in awe at how life can be so unfair, complicated and unjust.

 "I am a nice person," the man says to himself. "How come this other guy is happy and prosperous and I'm always struggling?" He asks himself, "I am a good husband, a good father and a good worker. How come nothing seems to work out for me? Life just isn't fair. 

Jaribu kufikiri ingekuwa vipi kama kusingekuwa na changamoto njiani mtu kufikia mafanikio! 


Kwamba kufanikiwa kungekuwa ni rahisi ama hazina ingewekwa peupe, je ungekuwa na sababu gani kusherehekea mafanikio? 


Wakati watu wanakula matunda ya mafanikio wengine wa bize kuchunguza mizizi, jiunge na wanaokula matunda ya mafanikio badala ya kupoteza muda kuchunguza mizizi! 


Zipo njia nyingi za kumfanya mtu aanze kufurahia matunda badala ya kukaa akichunguza mizizi.

The Real Problem with Network Marketing and Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

The Real Problem with Network Marketing and Multi-Level Marketing (MLM):

There's a first time for everything. And network marketing/MLM is a great opportunity for people to have their first business, their first sales role, etc. My point is this—recognize it for what it is: it's a business, and you are a business owner. And if you've never owned a business before, if you've never done sales before, if you've never networked before, you need to learn about how to do so, not just from the network marketing/MLM experts, but from established experts in those fields.

 Network marketers who are serious about building a business should be reading and learning about business fundamentals, the latest sales and marketing techniques, strategies for networking and business development, etc., not just swapping tips at your team's weekly or monthly meeting. Act like a small business owner, and people will treat you like one.

GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU….

Everything that is going wrong in your life today shall be well with you this year.

No matter how much your enemies try this year,

"they will not" succeed.

You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year. For the remaining months of this year (2011), all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings sorrows and pains because He that sits on the throne has remembered you.

He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY.

He will never let you down. 

I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me...

My child! What can I do for you?

And I said,"Father,please protect and bless the person reading this message"...

God smiled and answered...

Request granted. 

If you believe this message, send it to seven people and the one who sent it to you.  By doing this you have succeeded in praying for eight people today.

Billionaire's Home-Buying Binge - Yahoo! Real Estate

Billionaire's Home-Buying Binge - Yahoo! Real Estate:

Real-estate observers say Mr. Ellison is known for getting what he wants, pursuing properties he's interested in regardless of whether or not they are on the market. "Larry's philosophy has always been, 'Buy the best, without compromise,' " says Kurt Rappaport, co-founder of the Westside Estate Agency, who represented Mr. Ellison in several of the Malibu deals. Mr. Rappaport declines to address specific deals but says that Mr. Ellison views prime real estate as a scarce commodity that can't easily be replicated.

IF YOU THINK!!!!

“If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t,

If you like to win but you think, you can’t,

It is almost certain you wont.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,

For out of the world we find,

Success begins with fellow’s will-

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You have got to be sure of yourself before,

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battle don’t always go,

To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins,

Is the MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!”

Biashara ya Masoko ya Mtandao

Fikiria kama ungekuwa walipwa kwa kila ushauri wa kutumia huduma ama bidhaa ya kampuni au shirika fulani, ungekuwa wapi leo hii kimapato?

 Labda ujanielewa vizuri, Je unaweza kukumbuka leo hii ni marafiki, ndugu au jamaa wangapi umewashauri juu ya ubora au uzuri wa bidhaa au huduma fulani tangu uanze kutumia huduma au bidhaa zao?

 Fikilia kwa mfano unatumia huduma ya simu ya kampuni A, kwa ubora wa huduma zake umewashauri ndugu zako kadhaa, au marafiki zako ama pengine umeshawishi ofisi ijiunge na huduma ya kampuni hiyo, tena bila malipo, bure kabisa na wala kampuni haijui uwepo wako, je waweza kumbuka idadi ya watu uliowashauri?

 Labda watu 100 kwa miaka kama mine au mitano toka ujiunge na kampuni A, tena wengine wamehama kampuni zao za zamani, sasa fikilia kama kampuni A simu  ingeamua kutambua huduma yako hiyo, ya kushauri watu kujiunga na huduma zao nzuri, wakaamua kuwa watakuwa wanakupa sh 100 kwa kila sh 1000 ya watu hao mia watakazotumia, je ungekuwa na sh ngapi kwa siku au mwezi na hatimaye mwaka?

 Hebu tufanye hesabu rahisi kidogo, ikiwa kila Mmoja atakuwa anatumia sh 1000 tu kwa siku ina maana utapata sh 100 x 100 kwa siku sawa na 10,000/- sawa na Sh 300,000 au 3600000 kwa mwaka, hiki ni kipato cha ziada kutokana na wewe kuwashauri watu 100 tu kwa miaka mine, je ungepata kiasi gani kama utakuwa na watu 500 au zaidi.

 Kumbuka, hapa ujamuuzia mtu simu wala ujamuuzia mtu vocha, wewe umewashauri tu nao wakaamua kuingia katika mtandao uliopo na kampuni A ikakulipa kiasi hicho cha pesa, pengine wadhani hii haiwezekani, lakini maishani mwetu tunafanya hivi kila siku, twashauri watu saluni nzuri, hoteli nzuri, simu, kampuni nzuri ya simu, hospital nzuri, dokta mzuri mwanasheria mzuri, kinywaji kizuri, nk. hatulipwi.

 Lakini katikati yetu wapo wanaolipwa kwa kushauri watu kutumia huduma ama bidhaa za kampuni hii au ile na kujipatia kipato kizuri cha ziada kufikia na kuzidi Milioni 30 kwa mwezi, ndio Milion 30, hii ndio inaitwa “work smarter not harder”, fikilia mtu huyu atakuwa na pato gani kwa mwaka au miaka kadhaa?

 Hawa ni wafanya Biashara ya Masoko ya Mtandao, wako mamilioni duniani na idadi ikiindelea kuongezeka kila uchao, uwaoni lakini wako kila pahala, pengine ni jirani yako au mfanyakazi mwenzio au bosi wako, hii ni aina ya biashara ambayo mtu yeyote wa kipato chochote anaweza kuwekeza kiasi kidogo cha pesa na kupata kipato kinachopanda kwa kasi hata kufikia kuwa na uhuru wa kipato.

 Ndio maana ya Mtandao, walipwa kwa kuwasidia, kuwaongoza na kuwafundisha  wengine kuanzisha biashara zao, kuwasaidia kufikia malengo yao na hatimaye uhuru wa kipato, hivyo wanamtandao ulipwa muda wao wanaotumia kuwasaidia na kuwaongoza wengine.

Hii ndio njia inayopendekezwa na wataalumu wa uchumi waliobobea kuwa mkombozi pekee kwa watu wa hali ya chini kuwekeza na kufikia kuwa na Uhuru wa Kipato.  

Nukuu mbalimbali toka kwa watu maarufu, wasomi na watawala kuhusu Biashara ya Masoko ya Mtandao

Lesson from Steve Jobs of Apple!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” SJ

Yawezekana ulipofungua ama kuingia kwenye mtandao kufanya lolote lile uliilotaka kufanya leo hii ukakutana na taarifa za kifo cha Steve Jobs, na kama wewe ni mtumiaji wa kompyuta za Apple ama brauza ya safari utakuwa ulikutana na picha ya Bwana huyu ikieleza umri kuzaliwa na kufa kwake.
 

Inawezekana kabisa si wengi wanamfahamu au waliwai kusikia juu ya mtu huyu ambaye leo vyombo vyote vya habari (vya nje) na mitandao vinaanikiza juu ya kifo cha Mbunifu huyu mwenye kuheshimika duniani.

 Bila shaka kama ulikuwa humjui au hukumfahamu hapo kabla leo utakuwa umemfahamu  japo kidogo kupitia kifo chake, sina nia ya kukujuza juu ya msiba huu au umetokeaje na vitu kama hivyo, hapana, nia yangu ni kutaka tujifunze kwa pamoja sisi kama wajasiriamali juu ya mjasiliamali huyu asiyekata tama kirahisi. Jeni funzo gani tunapata kupitia historia ya maisha yake?

 Kama umepata muda kupitia historia yake utakuwa umegundua kuwa haina chochote cha kufanya na mafanikio yake, kwanza hakulelewa na wazazi wake, kwani baada ya kumzaa walimasili (adopted) kwa wazazi wengine, pili, ubunifu wake hauna uhusiano wowote na elimu yake, kwani aliweza kukaa chuo cha ufundi cha gharama wakati huo miezi sita tu ama muhula Mmoja, hakumaliza chuo, aliishi maisha ya kutangatanga na kuvutiwa zaidi na kazi za mafundi umeme wa magari ambayo ndio ilikuwa kazi ya baba yake (sio mzazi).
 

In this rare photograph, you can see how Steve Jobs looked at the lowest point of his career.

It was taken for Andy Hertzfeld’s birthday in April 1993.

Tunachokiona ni kuwa toka akiwa mdogo alivutiwa na kutamani kujua zaidi juu ya mambo ya vufaa vya umeme, hapa ndipo alipojenga ukaribu na jamaa Mmoja aliyekuwa akifanya kazi kiwanda cha kompyuta HP Wakati huo, Woz akajenga mazoea kwenda kujifunza nyumbani kwa Woz, akajiunga naye na hatimaye  akamua kununua sehemu ya mradi wa Woz wa Apple, akiwa na nia ya kutengeneza kompyuta bora kabisa duniani akiwa na umri wa miaka 20 tu, wawili hao wakiwa na kamtaji kadogo sana, lakini wakiwa ndoto kuuubwa ya kuubadili ulimwengu kiteknolojia walianza ubunifu kufikia ndoto zao. 

“Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.” SJ

Steve alianza kutengeza Apple nyumbani kwake na kuzitembeza madukani, waliweza kuuza japo kwa taabu kidogo kwani yao ilikuwa bodhaa mpya na soko limeshikiliwa na IBM, waliamua kuziongezea ubora kwa kuweka program zaidi na hatimaye baada ya muda walifanikiwa kukamata soko na hivyo miaka mine tangu kuanzishwa ikawa ni kampuni kubwa kiasi cha kuingia soko la hisa, mwaka wa tano walitengeneza faida kubwa kufikia Dola million 200, hivyo kuwa Millionea akiwa na miaka 25 tu.

 Haya yalikuwa mafanikio makubwa sana kwa Steve, lakini pia yalikuja yakiwa yameambatana na majaribu yake, kwani kampuni ilianza kufanya vibaya kiasi cha kufikia kufukuzwa katika kampuni aliyoianzisha na kuamua kuuza hisa zake zote na kuendelea na maisha yake, lakini hakuuza maono wala ndoto zake.

 “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” SJ

 Hii ilikuwa ni mwaka 1985, steve aliamua kuendeleza ubunifu wake kwa kuanzisha kampuni mbali mbali za kutengezea programu mbali mbali za kompyuta, hata hivyo hazikuweza kufanya vizuri katika soko, miaka takrina tisa ilikuwa migumu kwake, ilifika mahali akakaribia kukata tamaa, hii ilikuwa mwaka 1993, kwa maneno yake anasema “ankle dip shit”.

 Huko msemo usemao “It is always dark before dawn” au ukiona kiza kimezidi kumekaribia kucha, pengine ndio unaoweza elezea mazingira ya kuibuka tena upya  kwa Steve na hatimaye kufikia mafanikio aliyoyoacha nyuma yake.

 Mwishoni mwa mwaka 1993 akiwa bado ana maono yake na ndoto zake zikiwa hazijaathiriwa na mawimbi ya mkwamo wa kibiashara alianza upya kuboresha bidhaa zake na hivyo kujaribu kuziuza upya kwa makampuni na vyuo, aliamua pia kutengeneza programu ya mwanasesere, alijaribu kutaka kuiingiza katika soko la hisa, akawaona wataalamu wa masoko na wachambuzi, walimcheka sana, walimwona kama anayeota ndoto ya mchana, kampuni yake ilikuwa ikifanya vibaya kwa kipindi cha miaka tisa mfululizo.

“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” SJ

 Hakukata tamaa, alikuwa na maono ya mbali na zaidi aliamini kuwa INAWEZEKANA, kutokana na kutokata tama kwake kwa jambo analoamini kuwa linawezekana, miaka miwili baadaye 1995 alipata mafanikio makubwa kupitia programu yake iliyokataliwa kwanza na wataaalumu na hivyo kumuingizia Dola Billioni 1.5, ikiwa ni mara tano zaidi ya alizowai kuingiza akiwa na Apple, huo ulikuwa mwanzo wa mafanikio na hatimaye kurudi tena Apple Macntoshi na kuendeleza ndoto yake ya kubadili ulimwengu kupitia teknologia. 

 “You know, I’ve got a plan that could rescue Apple. I can’t say any more than that it’s the perfect product and the perfect strategy for Apple. But nobody there will listen to me.” SJ



Kutokana historia yake nimejifunza mambo mengi sana, hapa chini ni machache tu:-

• Kufanikiwa katika jambo lolote maishani  hakuna uhusiano na historia yako au hali ya uchumi ya wazazi wako.
• Kufanikiwa kwako hakuna uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na elimu yako au wazazi wako. 
• Kufanikiwa hakuna uhusiano na kazi unayofanya bali fikira na ndoto ulizonazo.
•  Kufukuzwa kazi si mwisho bali ni mwanzo wa kunoa akili na kutumia ubunifu wako kufikia ndoto zako. 
• Kushindwa (Failure) ni mwalimu mzuri sana maishani. 
• Kutokutaka tamaa, kung'ang'ania kile unachokiamini pasipo kujali wengine wanasema nini juu yake ndio msingi mkuu wa kutimiza ndoto zako. NK.

Excellence is Habit!

Seeds of Discipline: Excellence Is a Habit

We learn by observation, imitation and repetition.

 

Habits begin as offhand remarks, ideas and images. And then, layer upon layer, through practice, they grow from cobwebs into cables that shackle or strengthen our lives.

 

Habits are like submarines. They run silent and deep.

 

First we make our habits, then our habits make us.

 

Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into, but difficult to get out of.

 

Winning and Losing are both learned habits.

Are you working harder or smarter?

Are you working harder or smarter?
 Katika Ulimwengu wa kipato na kujitafutia riziki watu wote tumegawanyika katika makundi makuu manne, Waajiriwa au Waliojiajiri, Wamiliki wa Biashara na Wawekezaji, makundi hayo pia yamegawanyika katika pande kuu mbili, Kushoto na Kulia.

 Upande wa kushoto kuna makundi ya Waajiriwa na Waliojiajiri, upande wa kulia ni Wamiliki wa biashara na Wawekezaji, mgawanyiko huu unatokana na wapi chanzo kikuu cha mtu mapato yake kinakopakina.

 Kwa mujibu wa tafiti mbalimbali, wasomi na wataalamu wa uchumi duniani, upande wa kushoto (Waajiriwa na waliojiajiri) ndio wenye watu wengi zaidi duniani asilimiam 95%, ndio wenye kipato kidogo zaidi, unalipa kodi nyingi zaidi, ulio masikini, wasio na uhuru na muda, kipato ama kukaa na familia zao, huku asilimia mkubwa wakiwafanyia kazi walio upande wa kulia na kumiliki asilimia 20 ya utajiri wa dunia.

 Lakini upande wa Kulia, Wamiliki wa mifumo ya Biashara na Wawekezaji, ndio upande wenye watu wachache zaidi duniani asilimia 5% tu huku wakimiliki asilimia 80% ya utajiri woote wa dunia, huu ndio upande ambao kipato chao hakitegemei ufanyaji kazi wao moja kwa moja, wanalipa kodi chache, wana uhuru wa kipato, muda na pia kwenda popote watakapo na kufanya kazi na watu wawatakao.

 Upande huu wa kulia unamiliki mifumo ya biashara na pia unatumia pesa kuingiza pesa kwa walio katika kundi la wawekezaji, hawa hawaitaji kuamka kila siku asubui kwenda kutafuta riziki, mifumo waliotengeneza uwawezesha kuwa na uhakika wa kipato hata kama yuko mbugani au ng’ambo na familia wakitalii kwa muda wowote ule.

 Hivyo ukitaka kuwa na uhuru wa kipato, muda, mahali na kujikwamua toka kwenye umasikini pia unabudi kuanza kufikilia njia kukupeleka upande wa kulia, kuwa Mmiliki wa mfumo wa biashara ama Mwekezaji.

 Wakati wa Zama za Viwanda (Industrial Age) karne iliyopita ilikuwa ni ngumu sana kufikilia kuwa mtu wa upande wa kulia angeweza kufanya juhudi au kupata njia kuhamia upande wa Kulia, ilikuwa ni ndoto, kama haukuzaliwa katika familia yenye utajiri basi ulikuwa na uhakika wa kubaki pale ulipo, upande wa Kushoto.
 

Habari njema ni kuwa ni rahisi sana kwa sasa, katika karne hii na Zama za Taarifa/Habari (Information Age) kwa mtu aliye upande wa kushoto kuweza kuhamia upande wa Kulia na kuwa Mmiliki wa mfumo wa Biashara na hatimaye kuwa Mwekezaji, kukua kwa teknolijia ya habari na mawasiliano, kumefanya ama kurahisisha mambo mengi sana, ikiwemo ufanyaji wa biashara, hivi sasa ulimwengu unashuhudia mamilioni ya matajiri wapya kila mwaka, Pual Zane Pilzer, Next Millionaireas,  japo si rahisi sana kama vile mtu awezavyo kupata ajira ya kima cha chini.
 Aina tatu za Madaraja.
Haya nadhani yanafaa kuitwa madaraja, ili mtu aweze kuhama kutoka upande wa kushoto na kuhamia upande wa kulia anaweza kutumia moja ya madaraja haya matatu, lengo kuu likiwa ni kujenga na kumiliki mfumo wa biashara, madaraja hayo ni:-

 1.      Traditional C-type Corporations- Huu ni mfumo wa kawaida wa biashara ama viwanda vya asili ambapo unajenga au kuanzisha biashara yako, mfano Bakhresa, Mengi, Mo Dewji, Mfuruki nk.

2.      Franchises – Hii ni kununua mfumo uliopo tayari na kuendesha, mfano, Coca cola, Steers, Mc Donald, nk

3.      Network Marketing – hapa unanunua mfumo uliopo na kuwa sehemu ya mfumo uliopo tayari.

 Katika mifumo yote mitatu ama madaraja matatu yana nguvu na changamoto zake, changamoto kubwa kabisa katika daraja la 1 na 2 ni mtaji, mtaji mkubwa unaohitajika ili kuanzisha kampuni au kununua biashara itakoyoweza kuajiri watu wasiopungua 500 ili kuweza kuwa katika kundi la Wamiliki wa Mfumo wa Biashara.

 Nguvu pekee iliyopo katika mfumo au daraja la tatu, Network Marketing ni mtaji mdogo unaohitajika kununua na kuwa sehemu ya mtandao mkubwa, makampuni mengi ya biashara ya mtandao utoa bure mafunzo ya biashara, vitendea kazi na nyenzo mbalimbali kumwezesha mtu kufanikiwa katika mfumo huu, huku ukipata fursa ya kuwa na biashara ya kimataifa, na hivyo kuwa Mmiliki wa mfumo huku ukijiandaa kuwa Mwekezaji.

 

“Network Marketing is really the greatest source of grass root capitalism, because it teaches people how to take a small bit of capital, that is your time and build the American dream”  Jim Rhon 

  Daraja hili la Biashara ya Mtandao ndilo linapendekezwa na wanazuoni na wachumi wakubwa duniani, kwani kwa mtaji kidogo wa chini ya dola 1,000 mtu anakuwa mmiliki wa mtandao mkuubwa sana duniani, ukimpa mtu uwezo wa kufanya biashara popote duniani na yeyote pia, ni kama kuwa na duka lililowazi saa 24, siku saba za juma, inamfanya mwanamtandao kufanya kazi kwa bidii na smart na si kutumia nguvu kubwa mno kwa ujira kiduchu. 

"Network Marketing has produced more Millionaires than any other industry in the history of the world” Les Brown 

 

Kwa juhudi binafsi mtu anaweza mafanikio makubwa sana katika kipindi kifupi sana kuliko aina nyingine ya mifumo ya biashara.

 

Wiki ijayo tutaangalia mfumo wa Network Marketing, ni nini na unafanyaje kazi?

ARE YOU BUILDING PIPELINES OR HAULING BUCKETS?

Hapo zamani za kale kulikuwa na kijiji Fulani, kilikuwa kizuri sana kwa kuishi isipokuwa tatizo hakukuwa na majim ya uhakika mpaka mvua inaponyesha.

 Hili kutatua tatizo hili wazee wakijiji waliitisha kikao na kuazimia kutafuta mzabuni atakayekuwa akikipatia maji kijiji kila siku.

 Watu wawili walipatikana kufanya kazi hii na wazee wa kijiji waliamua kuwa zabuni hii wote wawili. wakiamini kuwa ushindani utaweka bei kuwa chini na uhakika wa maji kijijini.

 Mmoja wa wa zabuni wale akiitwa Kibwana, haraka haraka alienda kununua ndoo mbili za chuma na kuanza mara moja kwenda na kurudi kuchota maji, kutoka katika ziwa lililokuwa mbali kidogo na kijiji na kusambaza kijijini, akaanza kutengeneza pesa chapchap, akitaabika alfajiri ata jioni akituta ndoo za maji.

 Alikuwa akituta na kujaza katika tanki kubwa ambalo kijiji kilijenga kwa ajili hiyo, siku zote aliamka kabla ya wanakijiji wote ili kuhakikisha kuwa maji yanakuwepo kabla hawajaamka, ilikuwa kazi ngumu, lakini alikuwa na furaha kwa sababu alikuwa akiingiza kipato kwa biashara hii.

 Yule mzabuni wa pili akiitwa Ben alipotea kwa kitambo kidogo, hakuonekana miezi kadhaa, hii ilimfanya Kitwana kuwa na furaha sana maana hakuwa na ushindani, alikuwa akipata pesa zote za kijiji kwa Wakati huo.

 Badala ya kununua ndoo mbili hili kushindana na Kibwana, Ben alikaa chini na kuandika mpango wa biashara, akatengeneza Shirika, akaajiri msimamizi wa mradi, akatengeneza timu ya kazi, alirudi miezi sita baadaye akiwa na watu wa ujenzi, ndani ya mwaka Mmoja wajenzi wale walijenga mtandao mkubwa wa mabomba uliounganisha ziwa na kijiji.

 Siku ya ufunguzi Ben akijua ya kuwa watu walikuwa wakilalamikia uchafu wa maji ya Kibwana, alitangaza kuwa maji yake ni masafi kuliko ya Kibwana, pia ya kuwa anaweza kusambaza maji kijijini masaa 24, siku saba za wiki, Wakati Kibwana anaweza kuleta siku za kazi tu, na zaidi akatangaza kushusha bei kwa asilimia 75 ya ile anayotoza Kibwana, watu walifurahi sana, woote wakawa wanateka maji kwa Ben.

 Kibwana kuona vile aliamua naye kushusha bei kwa asilimia 75 pia, akanunua ndoo mbili zaidi, akaongezea na mifuniko katika ndoo zake, akaanza kututa ndoo nne kwa mpigo, ili kuwahudumia vyema wanakijiji aliamua kuwaajiri wanae wawili wa kiume ili wasaidiane naye, ilibidi pia kufanya kazi mpaka usiku na siku za mwisho wa wiki, ilipofika muda wa wanae kwenda vyuoni, aliwaasa wakimaliza warudi haraka nyumbani kwani hii itakuwa biashara yao siku za usoni.

 Kwa sababu hii ama ile watoto wale hawakurudi baada ya kumaliza masomo, mwishoni Kibwana aliajiri watu kufanya naye kazi, lakini akaishia kupata matatizo na umoja wa wafanyakazi, Umoja ulimtaka kuwapa maslahi mazuri, kubeba ndoo moja kwa safari na kuwapa marurupu zaidi.

 Ben, kwa upande wake alitambua kuwa ikiwa kijiji hiki kinahitaji maji bila shaka na vijiji vingine vinamahitaji pia, hivyo akaandika mchanganuo wa biashara yake ya maji safi, salama, uhakika na gharama nafuu kwa vijiji vyoote duniani, anaingiza pesa ndogo tu kwa kila ndoo lakini anauwezo wa kuuza mabilioni ya ndoo kila siku, haijalishi kama amefanya kazi au la, mamilioni ya watu watapata maji na mabilioni yataingia katika akaunti yake ya benki, Ben amatengeneza bomba la kumletea pesa yeye mwenyewe na pia kuwaletea wanakijiji maji.

 Ben aliishi kwa furaha zaidi na Kibwana alifanya kazi ngumu maisha yake yoote na kuishia kuwa na matatizo ya pesa milele,
 

Swali je, Ungali watuta ndoo za maji au wajenga mtandao wa mabomba?

Katika kazi ama biashara uifanyayo, wajenga bomba au watunta ndoo za maji??

Jeni Biashara au kazi gani chini ya jua inaweza kukufanya ujenge Bomba, bomba la kipato? yaani itakayokuwezasha kuingiza pesa masaa 24, siku saba za wiki, pasipo kuangalia ikiwa umefanya kazi au la?

Nitwangie 0716927070, au ni-email: brwebangira@gmail.com kwa swali lolote. 

Nakutakia mafanikio katika kila ufanyalo.

Positive Mental Attitude

Having a positive mental attitude is crucial in life. If we cannot look upon ourselves with a positive outlook then who will. We can call it having a PMA. Live life with confidence. Be motivated to make the most of life and to help others.




"To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease or to think riches when in the midst of the appearances of poverty requires power, but whoever acquires this power becomes a master mind. That person can conquer fate and can have what he wants." W.D Wattles


What is true is that seeing things in a positive light, looking for the best, rejecting the worst or negative or bad, is a 'positive' and uplifting way to not only view life but live it at the same time. This outlook will enable you to live life as you have always wanted to. With confidence, motivation, satisfaction and productivity.

“A positive mental attitude is the starting point of all riches, whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches.“ - Napoleon Hill


The Basis of PMA 
What is the basis of having a positive outlook and mental attitude? Its basic tennent is that to be optimistic in life will bring its rewards in greater achievement and accomplishment. A person with an optimistic nature will be happier in themselves and enjoy life more.

And also that we will not only bring more to our own life but that we will be able to contribute more, too.
With so many myths about positive mental attitude (PMA), it’s important to separate the truth from the fiction. Let’s explore some of these myths and dive into the truths behind them.

Myth #1: Negative thinking is more realistic.

Have you ever heard a negative person say that they aren’t negative; they’re just being ‘realistic’? This myth keeps people locked in a negative reality of their own creation.

A person’s thoughts, whether positive or negative, do have an effect on their environment. If you think negatively, your mind will automatically seek out confirmation that the world is a terrible place. Seeing is believing, and your mind reinforces your belief that reality is negative. See how it’s a downward spiral of negativity? If you expect negative results, you are less likely to take risks and try new things. Negative thinking masks your impressions in fear.

Positive thinking works the same way. With a positive mental attitude, you’ll seek out positive choices and expect positive results. This helps you move past fear and try things that others may believe “can’t be done”. This typically end in positive results.
A person’s thinking helps determine their reality. Negative thinking is realistic for the negative thinker, but only because their thoughts make it true. Ironically, the positive thinking also sees reality, just in a different light. Both types of people see their own reality, and both consider it the reality.

Myth #2: People with a PMA expect moneybags to fall out of the sky if they wish for them.

Those who don’t believe in positive thinking imagine that positive thinkers expect that their desire will manifest itself if they simply think positively about it. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Everyone who accomplishes anything – whether it’s earning a million dollars or becoming an award-winning actor – accomplish it the same way: by taking action. Positive people have an edge because they believe the object of their desire is attainable. They come from a ‘can-do’ mindset. Their actions are not based on fear or scarcity, but based on possibilities. Thus, a positive attitude helps a person manifest their desires, not simply by dreaming about it, but by inspiring the person to take action.

“It’s the action behind the attraction that makes the dream come true.“

Myth #3: Positive thinking doesn’t change reality

People who believe this myth see a problem and believe that positive thinking will only ignore the ugliness of their reality. The truth is positive thinking doesn’t ignore the problem; it helps you see the problem in a new light. In fact, you don’t even see ‘problems’ as problems. Think about it; regardless of how you react to an external situation, the situation will still be the same. If being upset doesn’t change the outcome of a past situation, wouldn’t it serve you, and your health, to see the positives?

A positive mental attitude creates a mindset of abundance, enthusiasm, and solutions. Instead of thinking about what can’t be done, a positive thinker will not be constrained by ‘can’ and ‘cannot.’ A positive thinker is free to think of new ways to solve problems because they are not limited by fear of failure. When we are in a state of abundance, we provide a fertile ground for possibilities and making dreams a reality. We are in a state of allowance, openly accepting the gifts of life to flow to us. When I realized this principle and shifted my thinking habits, miracles started popping up in my life.

A positive mental attitude can – and indeed does – change reality by allowing a person to act in an entirely different way, thus harvesting entirely different results.

“Successful men become successful only because they acquire the habit of thinking in terms of success.“ Napoleon Hill
Myth #4: Positive thinkers have no clue about the real world.

It’s easy to believe that people with a positive mental attitude have perfect lives and never dealt with real world hardships. Maybe people wouldn’t be so positive if they’d endured a few difficult times in their lives. But the truth is that this is really just a justification for negative thinking.

I don’t know a positive person who hasn’t had real and serious trials in their lives. They’ve faced disappointment, death of loved ones, physical handicap, and pretty much the range of human experiences we all deal with. The difference is that these people didn’t let those experiences change their outlook. A positive mental attitude means that you are in control of your own thoughts and feelings.

“Responsibilities = our abilities to control our responses.” paraphrasing Steven Covey

Every person has sorrows and trials that test them to the core, but only some people have the courage to act positively and with grace. A positive mental attitude doesn’t mean a person has sidestepped a hard life. It simply means they choose to see and take part in the good things life has to offer, as opposed to only the negative.

In Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl an extraordinary Holocaust survivor talks about finding happiness and purpose while in a Nazi concentration camp. In his book, he argues that “we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.“

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space.

In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth and freedom.“

- Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

Myth #5: People with a PMA are annoying and cheesy.

Okay, let’s admit it, some types of positive people are a little cheesy. We’re talking about the kind who spout platitudes and expect everything to be perfect no matter what. But truly positive people aren’t Tony Robbins infomercials. Positive people have real thoughts and have setbacks and discouragement just like everyone else, but they are also resilient and look for ways to stay positive. And that’s not cheesy, it’s just healthy thinking! And smart living!
Truly positive people do not expect perfection, but rather, they expect that every event is the best thing that could have happened in that moment. It is the only event that happened in that moment. Now that you’re considering the event, that moment has past. You cannot go back and change the moment, so you have to accept what happened was the best, and move on to the next moment.

Even in external circumstances that seem out of our control, we can always control is our internal response. In fact, it’s the only thing we have absolute control over.
