Explore The Heights - How to maximize your time

Time is a crucial resource in our daily lives, impacting every aspect of our activities. The pressing question is whether we're fully optimizing its potential.  Here's a fascinating fact about time: A day on Venus actually surpasses its year in length. Venus takes approximately 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation on its axis, whereas it only requires about 225 Earth days to complete an orbit around the Sun. Consequently, a day on Venus (one full rotation) exceeds the duration of a year on Venus (one orbit around the Sun).  Given that we reside on Earth and not Venus, it's essential to reflect on how we utilize our time. Are we employing it wisely, or could we make some adjustments?   In this episode, we delve into the tools available for maximizing our time and explore the benefits that await once we implement these changes.  Remember, once time slips away, it cannot be retrieved.

The Oxford Dictionary defines "comfort" as a state of physical ease and freedom from pain. However, the concept of comfort can carry diverse meanings based on the context. Generally, when you stay in your comfort zone for too long, you will definitely miss out on opportunities. I heard it said that true success, achievement, and progress is outside your comfort.

Undoubtedly, receiving assistance when we find ourselves stuck enables us to move forward with renewed confidence. Take a moment to reflect on a recent experience when you received help. How did it make you feel? It is essential to acknowledge that everyone needs support at some point in their journey. As the old saying goes, 'Two heads are better than one,' highlighting the power of collaboration and the benefits of seeking input and guidance from others.   On a lighter note, if you have to bad heads, that becomes a tragedy because it amplifies the problem, so make sure you are working with a better head!

Explore The Heights - Greatness Begins from Within

Greatness from within intro Greatness means you distinguish yourself from others, you’ve set yourself apart from the crowd and you are truly eminent in your field. Greatness is therefore, the quality of being great, distinguished, or eminent. Thomm Quackenbush said “Within you, within all human beings, is a seed of greatness that makes their kind quake with fear.” We all have a substance that makes us unique from everyone else. By harnessing this unique feature of ourselves we can stand out from the crowd. Whatever your definition of greatness, remember it begins from within. There is greatness inside all of us, but first we must choose to be great. With the finite amount of time we have to live our ideal life and live it to the full, it is time to embrace your inner excellence and make the best of the gift called life. Albert Einstein once said… “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Decide to be great because the world is waiting for your unique stamp. Remember what Benjamin Franklin wrote - lost time is never found again.

When making a change to our lives or business we must remain patient but determined so that we can become successful in the end. EL James the author of the 50 shades trilogy once wrote “we need to learn to walk before we can run.” When making large changes to our business or personal lives it is important to break down the larger changes into smaller steps so that we can transition through the change comfortably. In this episode we discuss how to make slight changes so that you achieve the results you want. Don’t be fooled by the tiny changes you register each time.

Explore The Heights - Fighting complacency

Complacency is a dangerous attitude that will rob you from fulfilling your potential and suffocate your vision and goals. Complacency can also become a habit and when that happens you are slowly heading for a disaster. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines complacency as self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies.

Explore The Heights - Benefitting From Failure

Failure is a part of success, and the benefits of failure cannot be overemphasised. Failure is the hallmark of success, without failure there would be no great successes. J. Wallace Hamilton has this to say about failure. “People are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival.” I get the gist of what Hamilton is trying to say but don’t agree with the statement. The human brain focuses on what we give attention to. The interesting thing about failure is that we are quick to judge isolated situations in our lives and label them as failures, instead, we should keep the bigger picture in mind. Failure is not a bad word because without failing several times, you can never be successful. Fail fast, fail quickly, learn from these failures, and move towards success. In this podcast we present the benefits we can derive from failure. Learn to fail your way to success!

Explore The Heights - Just Start It

Is there something you are thinking about starting and yet you keep postponing because you have convinced yourself or others have told you that its not the right time to start? Procrastination is a thief of time. There are people who have been let go from a corporate job and they are afraid of starting their own business because they are worried that the business might not make it. Others want to write a book but continuously convince themselves that they are not cut out to be authors. I once was where you are today when I convinced myself that I cannot do this or that until it dawned on me that starting begins the growing process. You must start that something for it to begin to grow. To be a master at something, you must start somewhere. The masters we see today started with what they had and from where they were. Starting begins with the intensity of the hunger you have regarding changing the trajectory of your life. Who told you that being let go is the end of your life? Who convinced you that you don’t have what it takes to start that business, write that song, the book, the relationship, or whatever keeps you awake at night? You might be saying George, what if I started and it failed? Why not think what if you I started, and it succeeds. Even if you started and it did not work the first time, get counsel from the words of Dr. John Maxwell, a Leadership Thought Leader who said “sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. Just Start It will you?

Explore The Heights - Explore The Heights

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. The word to explore is to discover, investigate or search and the word heights a pinnacle, summit, apex, peaks, or altitudes. When we talk about explore the heights, we are talking about discovering or searching for how best you can reach the pinnacle of achievement in your vocation, career, business, or whatever heights you have chosen to conquer or reach. There is always a step ahead and you can continue to climb until you reach the summit. Many times, we are afraid to go after opportunities for fear that we might fail. Some are afraid to leave the comfort zone to pursue new heights because they do not want to lose sight of the shore or comfort zone. Others are not prepared to take the initiative to start work towards reaching the summit, peaks, or apex in whatever they are pursuing. J.S Elliot ably captured how to explore the heights by saying “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” Enjoy this podcast and continue to Explore the Heights.

Explore The Heights - It Starts with a Dream

Dreams are powerful. Dreams inspire us to action; they make us wake up every morning with intention and expectation. Dreams keep us focused, drive our actions, catapult us to greatness, and ignite a fire within us. Everything we see today started as a dream in someone’s mind. Dreams are fuel for achievement and advancement. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. It is important that you do not underestimate the power of your dream. When your dream inspires greatness in others, causes people to live the lives they imagine, and leaves a blazing trail behind, that is a noble thing to do. My personal dream is to inspire change and transformation in people and organizations. This dream keeps me focused, alive and well. You need to hold fast to your dream so that it will not die. The cemetery is rich with dreams that were never brought to life. These dreams died with the people who had them. Do not allow your dream to die in you. You are never too old or too young to dream again. Get back your dream, dust it off, start working on it and before long, you will achieve the dream.

Explore The Heights - How to Develop Resilience

Resilience is bouncing back from a misfortune, disruptive change, and difficulty. It is your capacity to recover quickly from a challenging and difficult situation. It is your ability to spring back into form and position to do what you want to do. Resilience allows us to overcome challenges, obstacles, hardships, disruptive change, chaos, and the vicissitudes of life. Resilience took us through 2020 and resilience will take is through 2021. Here is my suggestion for you - Post the word Resilience in a conspicuous place where you can see it all the time; when you wake up and when you go to bed. Make it BIG/BOLD/BRILLIANT. You will spring back stronger than you have ever been. You have inner fortitude and strength. Focus 1 million percent on what is ahead of you. The only reason you are still alive is that your best days are ahead of you and not behind you. So, keep walking and stop looking around to what might go wrong.

Explore The Heights - How Your Words Impact Your Progress

Words do not only create emotions, but they also create actions. And from our actions flow the results of our lives. What is the big deal about words? Words carry tremendous power. They guide our thoughts and emotions and can bring us hope or despair. If you want to shape your decisions and your actions, shifting your emotional patterns is the key. Your words have the power to ruin your relationships when you do not choose your words carefully. Joyce Meyer said this about words “Words are containers for power, you choose what kind of power they carry.” Words have the power to build you up, confine you to where you are, and break you. Choose your words carefully before you speak them out. The words you say to yourself become triggers for action or inaction. Your words can also instill belief and hope in you. Be mindful of the words you use because your words are either stealing the future and the life you imagine or moving you towards it.

Explore The Heights - Change Your Thinking Change the Results

Someone said, thoughts are like roads, you never know where they will lead you. Your thinking is the gateway to all achievement, performance and productivity and success. From our thoughts we create and from that same thought pattern we destroy. Great accomplishments come from the quality of our thoughts. What you are today came from your thoughts of yesterday, and your present thoughts will build your life of tomorrow. You can never be any different from the way you think. You are in control of your thoughts and your thoughts continually affect your STATE and status in life. How you feel, your posture or physiology, your social interactions, your performance and productivity, your business success and failure, the quality of your relationships and so on all come from the quality of your thinking. The belief that you are not in control of your thinking or you cannot help thinking negative thoughts is a lie. Change your thinking and change your results significantly.

Explore The Heights - Business Stability in the Tough Times

Business survival, stability and growth are things every business owner or entrepreneur should work on. During times of disruptive change, economic downturn, business challenges, economic shakeup and the various challenges businesses go through, it is important for businesses and entrepreneurs to work towards stability. Inability to do that, the business will struggle and eventually fold up. I am aware of so many businesses that have closed, some struggling and at the brink of closer and others barely making it. In this episode of explore the heights, we will provide some ideas and perspectives on remaining stable during the trying and difficult times. We will provide our suggestions in three buckets namely: what to START/STOP/CONTINUE.

Peak performers are not necessarily more talented than you, rather, they are more committed to be their best every single day. We all want to be peak performers in every area of our lives. You want to be a peak performer. The question is how do you grow into a peak performer? There are habits that help you achieve your goals, dreams and purpose in life and be vibrant irrespective of your age, gender, race, religion, sex, career choice and personality. To be a peak performer you must do what peak performers do and avoid habits that those who wallow in mediocrity embrace. There is a reward for peak performance. To receive that reward, you need to develop yourself and inculcate the habits of peak performance into your daily routine.

Explore The Heights - Positioning for Results – Priorities

Positioning yourself to be successful requires the right strategy. Success, promotion, climbing the corporate ladder is not accidental, it’s all about positioning yourself rightfully. Coming out stronger during this time of disruptive change is about pivoting. Pivoting the right way is about positioning to do better, to be more, do more and give more. Every result, achievement, advancement, progress, climbing the ladder of success is a result of right positioning. The marketplace, job market, is crowded and the best way to make your mark is through positioning yourself the right way. The people who position themselves well during the downturn, are the ones who will lead their fields in the years ahead. One of the key elements in rightful positioning is about setting priorities. You can’t do anything and everything and succeed in your field of expertise or endeavour. Focus brings energy, targeted effort, confidence, excitement, passion, in the delivery of results. Start positioning yourself; set priorities, work on your success list and not on your to-do-list. In this podcast, we give you ideas on how to do just that.

Explore The Heights - How to avoid Burnout

The quest to succeed, the urge to climb the ladder of achievement, exceed the bosses’ expectations, get the promotion, grow the business, beat the competition, be the best salesperson, acquire the goodies of life, make a mark, leave a legacy, leave a braising trail of success after you has led numerous people to become workaholics, stress carriers, and ultimately leading to complete burnout.

Explore The Heights - Just Start It

Do you have a business you wanted to start but kept postponing? A book you wanted to write and continue to convince yourself that you are not ready? What do you have in you that needs to come out yet you continue to make excuses, procrastinating, and just never brought yourself to the point of saying No More Excuses. I convinced myself years ago that writing a book is not in my gene so I never wrote a book for a very long time even though so many people told me to put my ideas, beliefs, experiences, knowledge in a book. I finally got over it and now have a few books out there. Here is my advice; if you want to wait for everything to be perfect to start whatever you are thinking about, you will never start it. We don’t live in a perfect world and I believe that every master was once a disaster! Felix and I talked about starting a podcast. We had no idea how well it will be received. We had no training in making a podcast. We decided to start anyway believing that what we wanted to share is needed and will help people. So we started and here we are. You have a skill that the world needs, you are a solution to a business or someone’s problem, you can coach somebody to greatness, you are more than you think, and the world is waiting for your greatness. Don’t deprive the world of your signature and contribution. Whatever you wanted to do or have in you to offer the world, Just Start It.

Explore The Heights - Resilience through adversity and disruption

How resilient are you? How quickly do you bounce back from a misfortune, disruptive change, and difficulty? You have the capacity to recover quickly from any challenging and difficult situation. You have the ability to spring back into form and position yourself to do what you want to do. You and you alone can stop yourself from realizing your potential. Depending on how you look at it, adversity and disruption can be good. Good in the sense that it impacts your comfort zone, challenges you to think deeper, change your business model, change your career, challenges the status quo, brings about creativity and innovation, makes family relationships stronger, causes leaders, businesses, and individuals to revisit and review their purpose and why they exist. Look for the good, the bad and the ugly in adversity and disruption and while you are at it, remember you are wired to be resilient.

We have all been involved in some form of networking in one way or another. Your ability to network is one of the most crucial skills you can have.

A lot of people are put off by the idea of networking because they feel uncomfortable doing it. Networking is key when you want to grow your business, expand your business reach, and cement business relationships. Networking is about building and cultivating relationships with those who have similar interest like yours.
