Book excerpt: The ‘Girl’ Entrepreneurs by Ibukun Awosika In my 30-year journey as an entrepreneur, I have realised how impactful it is to learn from the experience of other people, as a guide to build a successful business. In this book I have sought to celebrate women who have, despite all the challenges of our environment, actively worked to build successful enterprises in Nigeria. This book will take you on the journey of these women; you will learn about their motivations, setbacks and strategies they have adopted to build enduring legacies. They reveal information about their backgrounds, start-up stages, growth patterns, how they scaled up their businesses, the impact of the choice of a spouse on their businesses, work life balance, spirituality and their plans for the future. My goal in creating this compendium, is to use the stories and experiences of these women as a tool to challenge, inspire and encourage other women and men to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and opportunities. This will in turn create value for their families, whilst contributing to the building of our economy as a nation. IBUKUN AWOSIKA is the Founder and CEO of The Chair Centre Group. She chairs and serves on a number of corporate and not for profit boards.

Book excerpt: The book Create a Better Future by Working on Your Personal Dream is to define dreams and elaborate on what the dreams are and what dreaming is not. It is a wake-up call book for many people who are suffering in the midst of plenty simply because they actually have dreams and talents that can shift them to a better stage of their lives but the fear of the unknown is preventing them from making any move or use their talents to their own advantage and to the benefit of their communities and the world at large. The book is also written to let many people who are talented but haven't discovered their talents to discover their talents through examples and advice given in the body of this book and to remind readers that relying on their fathers' wealth or their uncles or aunties abroad cannot help their dream. Possible channels for fulfilling dreams are touched in the book for as many that are on the crossroads on their way to success to study and be encouraged to put into practice. This book is to remind the readers that people are poor not because they don't have money in their bank accounts but because they lack dreams, vision, and purpose and by exhibiting fear of unknown in their mind. Among the aim of this book is to remind the readers that borrowers are slaves to the lenders and to remind them that he who controls your time has control on your destiny and has a great influence on your life. That is the case of employers to employees regardless of your position in your present jobs as employee. Reasons why many university and college degree certificates holders are poor and serving as slaves to people in authority and the few rich who can take risks and work on their dreams even though they don't bag as much university degree is emphasized on in this book. More also, one of the major purposes of this book is to remind the brilliant students that school rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. Your degree or certificate is not the cure to poverty; the cure to poverty is your ability to see and seize opportunities. Possible advice to the common problems facing the university and college graduates that are struggling to make ends meet and those that are making it but want to shift to the next level of their greatness are included in chapters of this book. The power of simple things is described in the chapter of this book by showing examples of simple thing that are easy for people to do to transform their lives but they keep failing to do at every point of their lives daily. This is among the reasons why this book is published. The constant law of wealth creation is mentioned in this book. Possible and simple ways of starting and establishing businesses with possible steps to take in transiting from your regular jobs to your own business without becoming jobless in between the transit is in this book. The ways to see your future are in the book. Reading this book will allow employees to know that by working for people, they will make a living.

The daily habits of the few rich and what they are doing daily to stay on top of the ladder and keep making people serve them and their generations are in this book. The ability to turn challenges into opportunities and to diffuse the fear of the unknown in the mind of those who don't have hope in their future by letting them know that they are unstoppable by showing them how will be read in this book. The way you think has a great role to play concerning what you will become in life. Your thought is what you become. If you cannot change your thought, you cannot change your life. This book was written to encourage the readers on the need to think progressively and the positive effects of progressive thinking. Inclusive in this book is the need for the reader to be well-informed in whatever areas in business, career, or community they find themselves. The sure path to failure is when a man is ignorant and yet rejects every opportunity to obtain relevant knowledge. If you know your assignment, you will know what your needs are. Where you will get to in life is determined by your assignment. Reading this book will open ways for readers on how to recognize individual assignments and how to work in fulfilling the assignment rather than wasting time in doing what they were not called to do. Time is such a commodity that when spent can never be recovered. This book encourages readers to rise to their various challenges and reminds the readers of the importance of time management. Overall, this book serves as the GPS to navigate through the basic challenges of life and as a daily life devotional and motivational tool that encourages people to face and overcome the daily life challenges. Many of these reasons and more to be discovered as you read on the book are inclusive. I strongly believe the confidence needed to believe in yourself and instinct to work on your personal dream will be developed as you read the book.

Book excerpt: Confrontations between nations, which were previously seen as wars on open battlefields, changed dramatically during the Twentieth Century. With "volunteer" units appearing to aid the participants on both sides of the fray. These units varied from the AEF in England prior to the US entry into World War II, and the Flying Tigers fighting the Japanese in China, to the Chinese divisions aiding the North Koreans during the Korean war. Suddenly the line between nations at war and those at peace became blurred, and at times indistinguishable. The true nature of the conflict was contained in the diplomat's pouch. Such confrontations required brilliant and unorthodox solutions to eliminate the threat from hostile governments. While this is a work of fiction, set in the 1951 Korean conflict, it illustrates the lengths to which governments will go to find acceptable resolutions. Belly Of The Dragon is about military personnel "detached" to the CIA and trained as agents. These "civilians" are to destroy a military objective, a jet engine factory deep in the heart of China. The real story emerges after the successful destruction of the target. Two men, of the nine who started, are alive. One, now suffering from a severe head wound, becomes part time brutishly insane, part time childish coward. Strong hatred on one side and deep resentment on the other seethes under the surface as the two must temporarily put aside their differences in order to survive the five hundred-mile trek to the coast. Both are wounded and sick, tall white men in a country of small yellow people. Stolen trucks, stolen motorcycles, and stolen boats are their modes of travel, always accompanied by their fear. Living off the land, they travel by night, in darkened vehicles on unknown roads and trails. Unable to steal enough food, even unable to keep themselves clean. Raiding a herbalist's shop in a small village, they find, by smell, medicine they remember having used as a child. Caught in the act by the "herbalist", they struggle, and accidentally set fire to the village, which burns like tinder bringing all the villagers out of their houses threatening to block their escape. Capture is inevitable, and a river patrol comes upon them as they sleep. Beaten and humiliated, they are being transported to the patrol headquarters, but luck and savage resistance allows them to overpower their captors and steal the boat. An early October winter storm adds to their peril, as the temperature plummets and blinding snow and freezing rain obscures their passage. Their wounds have become worse to the point that neither is able to go on, and the will to live or fight is fast ebbing away. Recklessly, John forces the boat forward, in spite of the weather, and his actions lead to a crash on the rocks of mighty rapids. The boat is destroyed, and they are stranded on the rocks far from the shore. One is trapped inside the boat rubble. The other decides to leave him, assuming he is dead, but what if he is only wounded, the Marine code of honor won't allow him to walk away. Finally, they are assisted by people who have been mistreated by the "New Government of the People." But it is still a long way to the coast and rescue, too far to make it by the time the pick-up team arrives, unless the wounded man is left behind. "Who would ever know?" But, it may be a moot point. In Washington, the President, who knows the mission has been successful, begins to hope that there are no survivors. Survivors could become an embarrassment to the administration, if word of the raid into neutral territory, is discovered by the UN or the opposing political party. Director Dolly of the CIA, points out, that if the President wishes there were no survivors, such a thing can be arranged. Although the thought

Download or read book Dreams of a Patriot written by Oluneye Oluwole and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatness of a nation is less a function of its physical geography than it is of the quality of its human content. Any nation can rise to great heights if it has within its borders men and women who will dare to dream and see a life beyond the limitations of the times in which they live. These are people who know that however dark and bleak the night may be, there’ll be light at the break of dawn, and are willing both to persevere through the long, dark night and to help others do so. These men and women are those the world knows as patriots. In Dreams of a Patriot, Oluneye Oluwole confronts the monstrous subject of leadership crisis in Nigeria, not from the boring and tedious perspective of a political analyst, but from the refreshing, everyday angle of a common citizen who knows that a nation so great and so immensely endowed as Nigeria deserves more from her people. She lights a candle in the wind of our turbulent national experience and beckons on all who share in this dream of greatness to help shield its flickering flame from the extinguishing forces that have held her nation down all these years. In a subtle, unobtrusive way, it is an expression of the dreams and hopes of that pained and distressed patriot in every one of us.

Download or read book The Brainless Beauty written by Emmanuel Kelechi Egbugara and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ibos of eastern Nigeria woke up from the ashes of that wicked civil war, where their homeland was the battlefield. They dusted the debris of deliberate wreckage by the federal troops and rejuvenated those into a boisterous renaissance of great commerce (despite losing life savings in the banks via heinous federal policy refunding, only twenty pounds to individuals no matter what one had), education, and industrialization. Thereby, the mass exodus to the developed world of America and Europe provided greener pastures for their resilient spirits and ingenuity. Igwe Uboma is the epitome of this contemporary Iboman, who, by dint of hard work and visionary leadership, became an industrial giant having conglomerate companies and real estates. Although Igwe had promising sons, his heart inclines to his beautiful and elegant daughter Ugomma. She epitomizes the tall dream of her affluent parents. Invariably, she portrays the worlds contemporary youths who are easily influenced negatively by the ever-worsening decadence and depreciating societal values and norms. The lack of strong character contents of youths, carelessness, carefree attitudes, and excessive indulgence into immorality and ungodliness in all ramifications are the results of poor parenting and evil influences. Invariably, life is a school, and all that lives must have stories to tell, either bitter or sweet experiences. But then the lessons we individually learn and apply distinguishes our character and behaviors that rates success or failure when juxtaposing our purposes with reality.

Download or read book A Fantastic Cruise to the Zenith the Place of Your Dreams written by Kingsley Wabara and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can realize your dreams! After all, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is--is the place of your dreams not in your own heart? However, the big question is, have you ever had a great dream in the day with your eyes wide open? If not, has one ever been revealed to you in your sleep? My dear, what have you done to, and with your dreams? Did you transform them into creative physical thinking, or did you allow someone to successfully lie to you that such dreams are signs of an impending illness? Usually in a place like Africa, when men dream great dreams, they are accused of having a bout of malaria. But the sheer truth is, only men who have dreamt great dreams have also turned out to be "great" in life--only nations who have dreamt great dreams have also turned out to be great in the committee of nations. Martin Luther-King Jnr. once had a dream; Bill Gates also, definitely did have a dream; and today, I have a new dream--that you, can become the man or woman of your own dreams--the happy millionaire, the quintessential preacher, the excellent career person, the best athlete, the music star, the banker par excellence, name it--you can be whatever you want to be. Basically, A Fantastic Cruise To The Zenith is an excellent allegorical guide to the place of your dreams--wherever it is. But beyond that, it also guides you to a point of new discovery--the Zenith: the state of assured eternal security, the realm of abundance, and the regime of highest achievements. I count you rather blessed and favored to behold this divinely inspired message received in line with my vision to strengthen people, especially, my generation, and those yet to come. It is a book of life designed to answer to the needs of many--from all cadres, and from all ages--it will answer to your very need. The writing style is absolutely unique, and essentially focused on general readership, but with a systematic attempt to assert the symptomatic beauty of excellent living; demystify the concept of human destiny; construct a fulcrum for achieving a healthier, happier, and more successful human life here on earth and, a profitable eternal life for the soul even after the "first death." A Fantastic Cruise To The Zenith also makes strong reference to my theory of the Democratic Human Tripod, which is an elegant attempt to explain the tripartite composition of man, with a view to bringing all men to the "truth that maketh free!" The book begins with an acclaimed "must-read" prologue, and has six (6) conceptual parts, namely: 1.A New Beginning 2.The Way 3.The Vehicle 4.The Cruise 5.The Crossing 6.Never To Be Forgotten The 1st part ends with a technical innovation to demystify the concept of Human Destiny and simply relates it to conscious envisioning and mission statements. The 2nd part has got another practical innovation--The Balanced Success Map (BSM), which is an attempt to practically guide the reader (or Cruiser) as he translates, most constructively, his current feasible dreams and wishes to some very highly achievable goals. The 3rd part comes with yet another innovation--The Vehicle--Destiny 2.07+ U20x Model, which is arguably the grandest vehicle in town. You just can't wait to acquire it! The 4th part introduces the reader to the practical applications of the already established principles, whereas the 5th part dwells instructively on life after here, which, to me, is the crux of the matter. And just before the closure, the 6th part appears to be asking, "Would you be remembered after dust has become dust?" The overriding implication is that A Fantastic Cruise To The Zenith may not just end at being sold, bought, and read. It may also have to be studied, and read over and over again. My advice is for it to be by your pillow at night, in your bag when on the move, on your table at work and, in your palms at the least o

Download or read book The Dreams We Left Behind written by Virginia Ada Egbujor and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A failed family-arranged marriage in Europe made a young woman, to give up her dreams of living and working in England. She had also dreamt of having and rearing her children in the new country. She returned to her country of origin, when the arrangement failed. She left, despite acquiring a legal right to stay. The rejection by the man she had come to marry, in real terms, precipitated severe isolation for her in a foreign country. She managed to complete a course of study, and it was time to return to what is logically her natural habitat; in other words her comfort zone. On her way home; (in the aircraft taking her home) she did a long subjective and objective soul-searching. She questioned the effect of her upbringing, which may have resulted in her near-nave attitude, low assertive instincts, and the tendency to say yes, even when she felt otherwise. She blamed the Nuns who forced these on her during her formative-teenage years at the Mission Boarding school. The home-coming was celebrated by the meeting of three former boarding school friends at the national event of serving their country. It is customary to give a year of service at the successful completion of young persons tertiary education. The friends had long reflections on what happened at the Boarding School, in their teenage years. It was quite a long analysis, and the friends, now adults, were able to see that in spite of everything they thought went wrong, a lot of good was also achieved. This in effect mitigated against the hardship they suffered as teenagers. At the end of the novel, the protagonist could realise that she had no need to travel to Europe to achieve her dreams (all that I need is here, she thought, in the words of one of her favourite Yuletide songs, by Dina Carrol). This was actualised in the new life she found for herself.
