This article is a follow up of Year 2010: Year of Great and Unlimited Opportunities.
Having understood what opportunities are and how to recognize opportunities, it is therefore imperative to know that not all opportunities are worth seizing. There is the need to evaluate opportunities.
What does it mean to evaluate? To evaluate means to judge the worth of something, finding the value of something, assess, estimate a thing so as to accept or reject.
It means to estimate the nature, quality, ability, extent or significance of a thing or to form a critical opinion about something. I am going this deep because you need an understanding of the word before you use it in this context. Now that we know what it is to evaluate, I will quickly show you a few reasons why we need to evaluate your opportunities in 2010. Are you ready? Then let’s proceed…
Reasons why you need to evaluate opportunities.
1. Opportunities abound everywhere around us. Yes that is true but is the opportunity yours, is it ripe to be taken? Knowing this fact helps you to see that you don’t need to search for greener pastures. You don’t need to travel abroad to seek for opportunities. What you need is Continue reading →

What is an opportunity?
An opportunity is a possibility due to a favourable combination of circumstances. Another definition says circumstances suitable for a particular purpose. Now having defined what an opportunity is, I’ll be further explaining how to recognize opportunities. 
How do you recognize opportunities? This is one pertinent question in the minds of people around the world. Anyone who desires to make headway in life requires an opportunity at one time or the other. How then do you recognize that this is an opportunity?

goal setting steps
There is a powerful formula for setting and achieving
goals that you can use for the rest of your life. It consists of seven simple steps. Any one of these steps can double and triple your productivity if you are not currently using it. Many people have increased their incomes dramatically in a matter of a few years, or even a few months, with this simple, seven-part method and the best pet is that you can too.
Step number one: Decide exactly what you want.
Either decide for yourself or sit down with your intimate friend, family, or confidante and discuss your goals and objectives until you are absolutely, crystal clear about what is expected of you and in what order of priority. It is amazing how many people are working away, day after day, on low value tasks because they have not had this critical discussion with someone trustworthy.
“One of the very worst uses of time is to do something very well that need not be done at all.”

How to set Clear and achievable Goals II.
In my previous article, I clearly stated what goals are and what they do. Today I’ll be answering a pertinent question that comes to mind when talking about goal setting and it’s this: Obafemi, if goals are so important why is it that people don’t set goals?
Why People Don’t Set Goals
Here is a good question: If goal setting is automatic, why is it that so few people have clear, written, measurable, time-bounded goals that they work toward each day? This is one of the great mysteries of life. Brian Tracy in his book Goals: How To Get Everything You Want Faster highlights four reasons why people don’t set goals. Continue reading →

The year 2009 is gone. So many events have occurred within the last year and when I look back to count my blessings, I cannot but give thanks to the almighty God. He has proved beyond doubt that he is a loving father and a friend. I am grateful for the journey mercies, his divine provision, protection and guidance. Most of all I appreciate the valuable lessons he has taught me. For these reasons and many more, I say a big thank you to the almighty. He is the source of my joy, my hope, my life, my all in all.
Now the year 2010 has crept in on us and the time is ticking, can you imagine we are already 7 days into 2010? You better believe it. Gradually, the days are extending into weeks, weeks into months and another year will soon roll off. That is why it is imperative that you and I know what we desire for the year 2010. This helps us to set clear goals.
Talking of clear goals, what are Goals in the first place and what do they do?
What are goals and what do they do?
Goals are dreams with deadlines, simple. They are series of items you desire to achieve within a stipulated time or period.
Clear goals increase your confidence, develop your competence and boost your levels of motivation. Living without clear goals is like driving in a thick fog. No matter how powerful or well engineered your car, you drive slowly, hesitantly, making little progress on even the smoothest road. Deciding upon your goals clears the fog immediately and allows you to focus and channel your energies and abilities. Continue reading →
