THE SWEETEST WORDS IN A LOVER’S EAR!

Darling Tomato Sauce of my Chips! Without you, I almost fail to breath, even with all this oxygen that’s abundant in Africa. You enrich my life with your ever-present and beautiful smile. I just wish to look at your face every morning as I wake up and in the evening before I rest my head. You are my wealth. With you in my life, the likes of Bill Gates and Sudhir are below my average.

Mujaaja in my chai, you are the answer to all my questions; in fact with you, I have more answers than questions. You are my Google; in you I always find everything I had ever searched for. You are @ in my email address and the only number in my mailing box.

Sweetheart! You have made my life superliciously outstanding. Because of you I have become the subject of envy to men like Obama, Clinton, Robert Mugabe and even Museveni himself.

When I first set my eyes on you I knew I wanted to be your keeper. To run for your heart more than Kiprotich could ever run for the gold. My love for you has grown exponentially and multi- purposely so much that no engineer or mathematician can measure its speed, vectors, diameter, radius or circumference.

I love, value and adore you more than a Munyankole values his cattle, more than a Mukiga likes ebiribwa, more than an Acholi adores his g.nut paste and millet, more than Amama Mbabazi wants to be President. I will always defend you more than a Itesot would ever defend his local brew (malwa).

Each day that passes, I pray to God to bless our relationship and bring us to the mountain of victory.

I don't intend to promise you heaven on earth, but as a sign of my appreciation for our love, besides offering my virginity to you (i.e. if u are), I promise to take heed, watch the sun rise above your head, slowly hold your arm against mine, walk you up the steps of Luwum street's MM Plaza to World of Inspiration - Uganda's suite T33 and get you a ticket to the 5th Nov MAGOGOMUS AUTHORS’ FORUM – a tantalizing inspirational event where we shall have a live debate on‪#‎TurningIdeasIntoMoney‬, featuring 4 top entrepreneurs who have earned billions from their ideas. This magnetic event will be happening at the National Theatre, starting 5:30pm. It’s just 40k and I have already called 0704666851 to book our seats! That day I will even ask you the big question: “So will you…?”

THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE MONEY

By Robert Bake Tumuhaise

Recently we had a very interesting debate on my Facebook page. It was on career choices. One of the comments that touched me was from Diane. She said: “I am no longer a banker. I resigned after I discovered that my hair-dresser earned twice my salary despite the fact that I had a masters degree, worked harder and got more stressed. I am now a tailor!”

I followed up Diane to get more details surrounding her career change. Her answers were so interesting that I asked her for permission to share them with my fans on facebook readers and she agreed.

She told me she always tried to put in more time and effort than her colleagues, but she was never promoted or given a salary increment. Later, she discovered that she did not merely have to work hard, but rather smart. So jumping into the world of self-employment was a way of creating a new challenge where she could work smart and taste the fruits.

I asked her if she did not fear the risks involved in self-employment where one is not assured of a salary. Her answer was that it was more risky being in that job where she was not saving anything and yet could be fired anytime. According to her, to fear risks is to fear success since no TESTIMONY can come without a TEST. Now she earns thrice her former salary.

Diane had always had ideas to do with fashion design but she had always brushed them off her mind (you know how our education system can stamp it on our minds that we can only earn from white collar jobs). Well, she took a bold step and launched her idea.

Opportunities are like taxis; there are times when they come one after the other but there are times when they get scarce and you have to walk around looking for one. Today, take a step and look for opportunities; don't stand at the stage and wait for them to come and find you.

For those who really want to widen their opportunities to prosper, come participate in the live debate dabbed ‘TURNING IDEAS INTO MONEY’ at the Authors’ Forum next Wednesday 5th November, starting 5:30p at the National Theatre. I believe this debate is going to greatly impact your life, especially in as far as business development, sales and battling competition are concerned. It has been tailored to provoke your imagination and make you see how to milk money from all your ideas.

The panel will include: James Abola, author of the bestselling book: "MAKE SENSE OF YOUR MONEY"; Joel Bellenson, a scientist who has ever earned 400 million dollars from one single idea, Ortega Ian a 22 year old entrepreneur whose BigEye.ug website has won multiple awards for being the best and most entertaining website in Uganda; and Robert Bake Tumuhaise, Managing Director of WORLD OF INSPIRATION. You will also be given time to share your idea or ask a question and get feedback from the panel and the audience.

The entrance fee is Shs 40,000 and it comes with a free inspirational book/DVD. Call me today on 0712868424 / 0704666851 / 0774107287 and secure your ticket while stock lasts.

You were born a winner by default; don’t live a failure by choice.

YOUR IDEAS CAN MAKE YOU A BILLIONAIRE

MAKE THESE 2 MONTHS MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN THE PAST 8

By Robert Bake Tumuhaise (MD, WORLD OF INSPIRATION)

Yes, I believe it is possible to make decisions that will change the course of things and make us achieve in these two remaining months of 20Fortune (2014) what we failed to achieve in the past 10 months. This will be possible when we flexibly open our minds to new ideas… when we act on what we’ve always procrastinated on… when we end the cycle of bad habits such as oversleeping, overspending, too much watching of TV, boozing e.t.c… when we change our attitude towards challenges by knowing that we are the ones to solve them other than waiting for someone else to help us…

Most importantly, it will be possible if we learn how to turn our ideas into money. Each one of us has ideas that can attract an untold amount of money if only we knew how to package them. Naturally human beings take some things for granted. For instance, many people assume that their great ideas will automatically bring them money and they earn nothing. Good musician can die poor if they do not package their musical talent into a sellable product (e.g. by recording an album or by teaming up with friends to create a band…); if they do not network with people who can fund or buy their talent; if they do not learn how to market and sell their talent…

For those who lead organisations, if your employees do not know how to turn ideas into money they are a liability to you, parasites of sorts. You will always have to think and labour for them. The day you are unwell you will see no option but to force yourself to work because you aren’t sure money will come in your absence. Solution: Sponsor them to attend the coming Authors’ Forum and I will personally address them and show them what they must do to generate viable ideas and also help you turn your ideas and theirs into money.

If you are employed and want a promotion or a salary increment, let me give you a trick that has had 100% success rate. Simply bring ideas that will generate money for the organisation and go an extra mile to turn those ideas into money. At WORLD OF INSPIRATION, that’s the major basis I use to compensate staff and that’s what any other organisation in the world would use. Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are always rewarded (with success) while lack of them is indirectly punished (with stagnancy and failure).

Allow me introduce to you the panel that’s going to inspire you at the coming Authors’ Forum – a special inspirational event that we’ve organised just to address that need of turning ideas into money. This time round, it is going to be a debate where the experts tussle it out and then open the discussion to the audience. Carry a pen and a notebook because you will write and cross and re-write as you develop your idea into what’s sellable and as you lay strategies to activate your idea. All your questions will be answered and you will leave having started on your business plan! And who knows, you might even get a business partner to pick your idea up and fund you. But first, the panel:

We shall have James Abola, a finance expert and co-author of the bestselling book: "MAKE SENSE OF YOUR MONEY". From James’s ideas I was not only able to learn how to create multiple sources of income; I was also able to cut down my expenditure by half without changing my lifestyle. James is one of the people you must meet in your lifetime.

Joel Bellenson, a scientist who learned to code at 4 years of age and created a video program as a child, will also be in the house sharing his wit. This is a man who invented medicine using a computer program and made over 400 million dollars, an amount that the majority of Ugandans may never make in their lifetime. He lost all that money and picked up the pieces. He made it again and is now a multimillionaire. Indeed, he has the experience of not only earning big money (from ideas) but also of losing money and then bouncing back. Joel has a Jewish origin and his family owns the biggest private hospital in Israel.

Then there is this young amazing young entrepreneur, Ortega Ian, who, despite being 10 years younger than me, inspires me to the core. Ortega started out his journey of entrepreneurship at 19 years of age by co-founding BigEye.Ug, a website that has won multiple awards for being the best and most entertaining website in Uganda. Millions now flow into his pocket simply because of his ideas. Stand anywhere in Kampala and say “Ortega” and chances are that 90% of the people who will hear you already know this genius of an entrepreneur. His success is evidence that one can start with nothing but an idea (stop crying over lack of capital). You can start from anywhere (does running a website even require an office?) and yet mint big monies.

Well, these three enterpreneurs will be joining me to debate on this practical topic: 'TURNING IDEAS INTO MONEY' at the great Authors' Forum that will be happening at the National Theatre next Wednesday 5th Nov, starting 5:30pm. Entry tickets are selling at Shs 40,000 (those buying more than one qualify for a discount). The numbers to call are: 0704666851 (Bake), 0774107287 (Winnie) and 041691595 (office). 

Remember, if you have a brain you can think; if you can think you can generate ideas; if you have ideas you can earn from them. We are tired of seeing Ugandans live and die with great ideas untapped. All you need are the keys to turning those ideas into money – exactly what we shall be giving you on 5th Nov, at the Authors’ Forum.

And, hey, in the Celeb Interview that day, we shall listen to a powerful testimony from Atukunda Hellen Katusiime, a lady who defeated diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity without medication. In the next message I will give you more details about her and her book, NO MOUNTAIN TOO HIGH. We want that as you turn your ideas into money you don’t be limited by poor health.

The Authors' Forum is brought to you by WORLD OF INSPIRATION: Making Excellence your Habit! Share this message with all your loved ones so that you do not prosper alone.

Stay blessed and inspired!

HOW TO TURN IDEAS INTO MONEY

By Robert Bake Tumuhaise

I believe if you have a brain you can think; if you can think you can generate ideas; if you have ideas you can earn from them. So everyday, the people you see are walking around with ideas worth millions and billions. Some people have cracked the puzzle and now earn big from those great ideas, but the majority continue to live, and if nothing is done, I am afraid, they will die with those ideas untapped.

I am a practical person who only likes talking about what has worked for me or at least some people close to me. So when I talk of converting ideas into money, I am not going to bring theories that I have read in books or the internet; I will speak about what I know because all I have earned in my life has been out of my ideas. I have authored and sold 8 books, printing in thousands of copies and earning a net profit of Shs 10,000 to 15,000 on each copy. I have earned millions from writing songs, movie scripts, proposals, business plans… I have earned big even from just speaking to people!

WORLD OF INSPIRATION, my business, itself was born out of my idea of writing and now it has products that are impacting millions of people across the region. Imagine how many people have read our published books; how many people watch our inspirational videos; how many people attend our inspirational events; how many people listen to us on radio or watch our programs on TV; how many people we reach via the internet! The bottom line is that I am not earning from gold or silver, but rather from ideas (intellectual property).

Hear this loud and clear: In the 21^st Century, success is no longer based on natural resources such as land, gas, oil, steel, e.t.c, but rather on ideas. Companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google are simply based on ideas. You don’t even need an office to start such a company; customers don’t even need to know where you are based. All they need is value from your idea. Every game has rules and once you’ve mastered the rules, you can play it. I am talking about the secret that people like Dr Mitch, a Vet Doctor, learnt and is now one of the highest paid MCs in Africa; the secrets that comedians like Kansiime Ann and Pablo, some musicians, authors, poets, radio/TV presenters e.t.c have learnt and are now earning more than the serious people you find in big office.

 

I have a bunch of 10 keys with which you cannot fail to earn from your ideas and without which you may never significantly earn from your ideas. I will be sharing these keys/points at the Authors’ Forum happening at the National Theatre on Wednesday 5^th Nov, 5:30pm to 8:30pm whose theme is ‘TURNING IDEAS INTO MONEY’. I will be joined by 3 top entrepreneurs who have earned from their ideas millions of times more than myself and we shall battle it out in a debate. The audience (you) will be allowed to comment, ask questions, seek advice regarding your ideas… I believe the 400 people who will attend will all come out with practical ways in which they can start turning their ideas into money the next day. Everyone will also be able to tell which ideas are good and which ones are bad and won’t attract money.

 

All you need to do is call me on 0704666851 / 0712868424 or Winnie on 0774107287 / 0414691595 and secure your entry ticket. Each goes for Shs 40,000, but this coming week I am giving an offer whereby you can get a ticket at Shs 35,000 and if you are a group of 3 people and above, you will get each ticket at Shs 30,000. And as usual, each one of you will still get a free inspirational book or DVD of your choice. The discount offer expires on 25^th Oct.

 

In my next message, I will share with you one or two of the points that I will present at the event and also tell you about a woman whom we shall host to testify on how she slapped multiple fatal ailments (including diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity) without medication. This episode of the Authors’ Forum is meant to fire you up so that in the remaining two months of 20Fortune (2014), you can achieve more results in whatever you do than ever. And how can you not share/forward this life-changing message to all your contacts?

EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE YOUR HEART GO AAAW!

By Robert Bake Tumuhaise

I have never had a painful experience that is even close to what I had at Mulago hospital today. It was not physical, but emotional pain – that which drills a bottomless pit in your heart that you feel might never be filled. Time-check, it’s 6:45am and I am right at the counter the doctor instructed me to go to for my patient to be transferred to the relevant section of the hospital that handles her ailment. Seeing no line, I feel proud to have arrived in time (15 minutes earlier than expected). The counter is empty but I wait with hope. Between 7am and 7:30am, about 3 uniformed people come and sit at that counter for some minutes and I try to talk to them but none of them even responds to my ‘Good Morning”. I take it easy. Possibly it isn’t their work and so they have no business responding to anyone’s questions. One kind cleaner looks at me and suspects I must be there for the first time. She lovingly directs me to the Records Office (I could see kindness in her eyes). 7:53am, I knock and no one responds despite the office harbouring 4 officers who were talking about everything happening in Uganda – from politics to corruption, fashion, soccer, KCCA.... I enter and this stern-faced man remarks, “Where did such people grow up from? Can’t you see that you are supposed to stand outside and wait from there?” (I don’t know how I was supposed to ‘see’ that). “But I…,” before I could ask any question he interrupts me – all to emphasize that I wasn’t supposed to enter. After waiting for about 30 minutes and people were beginning to enter, I also forcefully enter again and insist on telling them why I was there, without caring whether they were listening or not. They ask me for the medical documents; I give them all the doctors had given us and they say there are two missing – a referral note and a consent note (I wonder why the doctor had just referred us verbally yet he knows those documents are required). By then I have been joined by my sister. Well, we call him and he tells us he is on his way. We wait for another hour and a half and he gives us what was needed. We return to the Records Office and they receive the documents. I am happy that at long last my patient is going to be attended to only to be told again to go outside and wait. Another hour passes but we couldn’t be given any minute to ask what first aid we can give to our patient. I felt like breaking into the locker, getting a drip and glucose and fixing it on my mum in the car at least to revive some energy, but I remember I studied history, CRE, psychology and sociology, none of which involved needles. NB: It’s now already midday and we haven’t even finished the first step of having our patient’s name recorded and a file created). I insist on informing them that our case is an emergency and they tell me they are tired of that word; they have seen so many emergencies. Turning on the side, I see a man whose foot was practically rotten, with some bones being seen. He was inquiring from a hospital staff whether he can see a doctor and he was asked how he could come at midday to see a doctor if he was using his brain. Apparently, he should have come very early (but can’t a patient be respected even if he came late? Did he know Mulago’s schedule?) For a moment I feel like forgetting about what had taken me there and help this man, but I restrained myself. Another hour passes and we haven’t had our patient’s name registered. I peep again and look at this lady whose face suggests she is kinder (or rather less harsh) than her colleagues (but how wrong I was)! She tells me to stop peeping or else I would be punished for being big-headed instead of being calm (but how can I be calm when I have a 75-year old mum who can’t eat, can’t turn, can’t sit, who is just lying in the car, under the scotching sun?) At this point I choose to reflect on life generally. How many years do we have on earth and how can we make them more meaningful? Does everyone deserve a job? Do those who interview applicants for jobs in hospitals consider the nature of the candidates’ hearts? I realise there are people who work like they are forced to. Yet there are many good doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners I know who give you all the hope, love, care and comfort in the world that even when your problem is as big as a mountain, you see it as a small anthill. You feel you are in the right hands, no matter what follows. Possibly the major reason we came to Mulago was because that case could not be handled elsewhere in the country. Should I blame the government for this behaviour of some Mulago staff? No. Should I say “Tusaba gavumenti Etuyambe?” No. What this has taught me to do is pursue my dream further, inspire as many people as I can, impact millions of medical practitioners to love what they do, make billions of money so I can do charity (yes, in my retirement I will use my own money to build a hospital where people will access free medical help)… It’s now coming to evening and I am yet to see any help from Mulago. For now, I have decided to step out of the hospital to attend to something, but also to free my mind a little and then return to my mum when I am once again inspired and positive-minded. But I know that, in heaven above, there is someone more powerful than you and I, more powerful than all the equipment and staff at Mulago, more powerful than all the drugs that can ever be created. I rest in the confidence that there is a God whose power is unmatchable, his love unbeatable, his touch irresistible, his promise unchangeable, and so my faith in him is unshakable. I know he will heal my mum and all other patients who are calling upon his name. The same power that conquered the grave, divided the Red Sea, kept Daniel alive amidst lions, healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years, made Peter walk on water, pulled Lazarus out of the grave… lives in us. Jesus, by your stripes, mum is healed. Amen!
