In
Buganda, it’s common to see someone seated or walking outside wrapped in a
towel. In Kigezi where I hail, this practice so rare. Bakiga elders say, “Etawulo ekiita omwana”, meaning “The towel killed a baby.” A story goes
that one day a man who was carrying a baby noticed that his towel was getting
loose and let go the baby in an attempt to prevent the towel from falling off.
In the process the baby hit the ground and died.
There
are times in life when you have to choose between two good things. Like in the
case of this man, both preserving the life of the baby and preserving his own
dignity were important. I do not know whether his decision was a result of
reflex action or whether he consciously dreaded the embarrassment of being seen
naked more than the risk of endangering the baby’s life. Either way his choice
cost him dearly.
As
2014 threatens to kiss us goodbye, there are many decisions we have to make.
There are people who have saved some money and are debating whether to spend it
on christmas shopping and visiting the village or to use it for something more important
and travel in January and instead. There
will always be moments when you have to choose between spending and saving,
eating and fasting, a posh wedding and a humble wedding, and soon on.
When
caught up between two attractive choices, it’s my principle to always choose what
seems more valuable for both the present and the future. For instance, I advise
you to choose spending money on this one thing whose fruits will even outlive
you. I am talking about ACTION PLANNING, a short self-discovery course that WORLD
OF INSPIRATION shall be conducting starting this Thursday 13th Nov
20Fortune. This is the last intake we shall have this year.
Many people have been asking me how I
managed to start a business with 50,000 shillings, how developed the vision for
the Authors’ Forum, how I managed to sell close to 400,000 copies of one of my
books, how I manage my time, how I got to be friends with the likes of Patrick
Bitature, Emma Katongole and H.E. Bonney Katatumba. Well, #ActionPlanning is
your answer.
In just 6 sessions spread across 3
weeks, you will get to understand the concepts of mission, vision, goals and
objectives and how they relate to your daily life, work and dreams. By the end
of the short course, you will be 100% sure of your purpose in life. Your mind will
have been opened to the key habits and skills you need to fully realize your
purpose and what you need to do daily to develop them. And if you are the kind
that has always wanted to discover the secret of earning from your talents,
gifts and passions, this course is for you.
At the end of the course, we shall equip
you with a tool called an ‘Action Plan’ that WORLD OF INSPIRATION developed to
help both individuals and organizations streamline the needed action points,
day after day, year in year out. This tool will help you prioritize your daily tasks
such that, should you fail to accomplish all of them, only the less important
will be left. With this tool
you will be able to slap procrastination. If you are the kind that leaves home planning to do
a number of things and begin with the less important, only to discover the day
has ended and the most vital ones remained, don’t hesitate to call Robert Bake
Tumuhaise on 0704666851 to register for this course.
With this course going for only 500,000
shillings (though members of the Authors’ Forum pay only 250,000) you will have
all the knowledge and skills you need to indentify and choose the projects,
businesses or jobs suit your calling. By attending this course, you will be
equipped to live a life that matters and discard all the things and people that
don’t matter in your life.
Before starting to apply the principles
of #ActionPlanning, I always did almost
everything at the last moment. But today, I apply the concept of ‘deadlines’ (at
WORLD OF INSPIRATION we call them ‘deathlines’)
to everything I do.
In summary, the course goes for 500,000
shillings except for Authors’ Forum members who pay only half just like it is
for all our courses. The entire course is covered in six weekly 3-hour sessions
that are flexibly arranged at the convenience of the participants (mornings,
evenings or weekends). The venue is Grand Imperial Hotel. Attendance is only by
booking and the number to call is 0704666851.
Without action, all your dreams are
nothing and without planning all your action can yield no results—hence, the
need for #ActionPlanning. Come be empowered to make the toughest decisions in your career,
business, investments, finances and life generally.
You will be blessed forever!
