What you want, wants you – to seek for it!

The biblical Matthew 7:7, Jesus said; “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”. By far this the best verse in the bible that i remind myself everyday. Not from a theoretical perspective but it clearly defines that what we want also wants us and we can find it if we seek it. I have actively applied many of the life changing principles from the Bible into my consciousness engineering and conditioning and i can show radical results. With that appetizer, let’s proceed with the article.. Some time around June, last year (2019), I passed by the grocery shop and bought grape juice and some bread , I needed them badly but the brand I found didn’t taste well, given that I was with some mild malaria, so my appetite was so low. In such a misgiving, i went to the small shop outside our residential block to ask if they had juice and bread that would taste for me good. Unfortunately, they didn’t have too. As I headed back to our block, a young single mother well known to me in our ghetto residence greeted me

The Masks We Wear & the Shadows We Try to Hide!

I really have a good life, i have less complaints to God, at least. However, I’ve had a lot of really hard things, burgs, messes and embarrassments in my life too. Some of these I’ve always talked about from media interviews, in my books and seminars. I am a Parent & Father to amazing daughters, that’s something that can never miss from my introduction if we have ever engaged in a personal conversation. Nothing can equate the joy of that pleasant cross we (i and the co-parent) carry each day to raise our daughters. With such bundle of joy & given the profiles we have outside there; Author, Entrepreneur, Consultant, bla bla, a lot of people far from me think I have an extreme good life. It is true. I’m really, extremely fortunate to have my bundles of joy, to have work I absolutely love and to have hustled my way up to deserve platforms and honors unimagined. I am lucky to have a supportive mother, loving people around me and living in a country i love – Uganda. Good life? Right?, you must be thinking. But… there is a lot behind that profile that I have never shared, probably

Things to Consider while Selecting a Business Name

The starting point of every business, company, brand and any legal structure we know is the business name. All the brands that stand out in our minds are names that were created by the founding team. A company name determines some big percentage of what perception it will create in the minds of the people. Choosing a good business name is very important and it’s key to differentiating you from your competition. Where as industries can have varying business name needs but there are some key things that remain key considerations. These key considerations are not an auto button for business to be successful but truthfully a good name makes some difference. Matched better with quality service, a good business name can take you miles. In my work as a Consultant & Entrepreneur, i realize some people choose their business names basing on emotional grounds (their father’s, mother’s, wife’s or child’s name or even their own name, memories, events, milestones, trends, etc). Some other people prefer to choose names that inspire while some other will go with names they want to portray good qualities about the business. Whatever name you choose, and for whatever reason, is totally up to you

Coping with Relationship Politics

Extract from the book; Family Soup “Sweetheart , you have totally changed, why?”. She asked in a sad mood. Those are the many statements we can’t miss in relationships & Marriages. I am sure that on the epitome of things for any happy relationship, there should be understanding that change will come. Many people hold on the false beliefs that things will remain the same for the rest of their lives and the people they fall in love with. Everything changes in this world, people change, places change , attitudes change, thoughts change and opinions change , but for some reason (wrong of course) we think the person we loved on day one will be the same for the rest of their lives. When you first get together with your partner, it’s like everything is out of a dream. Looks like an unimaginable dream come true, You get excited, you sweetly enjoy dates, and you imagine ways you could get the bliss ever. But as the bible says , there is time for everything to be born and to die. This whole phase of fantasies also end, which is inevitable no matter how deep and sweet in love you are.

How many people have you had sex with? & other stereotypes

I spent my adult-teenage in technical schools, mostly single schools, so we were somehow always curious to have deeper talk on sex and women. When i turned around 19, 20 something (adult), talking about a number of teats and honey pots you may have already accessed was a hero talk. You were shielded as the great. If you didn’t know, with boys this is always a hero talk. Some of us who were fearful would just coil our tails feeling like not great men because we had no or fewer numbers to boast about. With society, if you were blessed with a pen*s and have used it to make enough ‘harmless’ marks, you are crowned the man! In modern day it is okay for a man to tell a number of women they bedded in their past but when it comes to a woman then society translates it to something else. Defense sayings like : “A key that opens many locks is a master key where as a padlock that is opened by many keys is fake” In this article i want to break that stereotype. Not necessarily about sexism and stereotypes around it but about the art of being

Great People Start Before They Feel Ready

Taking the first step is by far the most difficult thing to do in achieving any dream. There are a lot of mental, physical, psychological, spiritual , everything obstacles that make it difficult to take that first step.You should not wait until the situation is perfect because the situation will never be perfect. As Chahal says; If we need something badly we should teach ourselves to be impatient. A story is told of a sixteen-year-old boy who dropped out of school in 1966. With the help of a friend, he started a magazine for students and made money by selling advertisements to local businesses. Four years later, he was looking for ways to grow his small magazine and started selling mail order records to the students who bought the magazine. The records sold well enough that he built his first record store the next year. After two years of selling records, he decided to open his own record label and recording studio. Over the next decade, the young boy grew his entrepreneurial muscle. Along the way, he continued starting companies: an airline business, then trains, then mobile phones, and on and on. Almost 50 years later, there are over 400

Success Tips for Micro & Small Businesses

A month back, i went to buy green vegetables and fruits at our usual roadside market stall and found myself into business Lugambo (random talk) with the woman seller. Being a Consultant and Entrepreneur , i watch a lot of things every time i come across a business regardless of size. I was surprised of increased prices on vegetables, the bundle has decreased somehow and I was prompted to sit with her down to know the up & downside of such a micro business. It had not come to my mind that in sunny season vegetable prices rise. Mehn! , So insightful. You may think running such a micro trade business is a walk on just but there is much that goes into its success; the logistics, planning, storage, partners, financial management, records, etc. Getting and idea in business is one thing and putting it to work is another. I was touched to find that she have had difficulty in record keeping and money management and together in a few minutes we established a better way to keep her records and track income and expenditure and account for loss and profits each ending day, so as also to have monthly

How to Manage in Difficult Times

By Ayiga Patrick Obita; 28th March, 2020 The World has, I think since the 2nd World War, been afflicted like this before, and in which people are fearful like never before. You never know who is a carrier and you will take sometime to be able to know whether yourself might have the virus. This has changed the way people interact and some of behaviors have been acquired. The working sphere has not been spared as well. There are many ramifications for all aspect of the organisation like the workforce, activities, security, financial, management, sustainability, work life balance, etc. The way Managers have exhibited their managerial styles have also varied and will forever never be the same again. WHAT HAS CHANGED IN THIS PERIOD? Working from Home is now the in thing. Some new aspects that have come up, which some organisations or companies never used to even think about, was working from home. Even those against this approach of work have been beaten to their game, and they will forever not be the same again. They will readily allow flexi working approaches, most especially for those that don’t have to interface with a lot of people in dispensing their
