Dear inspired friend! I am sharing this inspirational message
with you because you have been part of the AUTHORS’ FORUM – an inspirational
event that I organize. My dream is to see every member of this forum unleashing
their potential, prospering and reaching at the top. As we wait to gather again
at Hotel Africana for the Grand Finale of the Authors’ Forum on 7th
December, let this message fire you up to end this year a different person – a
person of big dreams and big results.
In the last one year, I have been able to achieve goals that
under normal circumstances would have taken me at least 10 years. It is because
I discovered the secret I want to share with you. This is a secret that all
successful people in history – from the ancient rulers of Kingdoms to modern
leaders, from spiritual leaders to business leaders, from those earning
billions from their talents to those changing the world with technology – have
discovered.
Today, I am giving you this secret and it is what I take as my
major message of the year. Take your time and read it to the end and then take
action. I can guarantee you unprecedented results. Part of this message is
fully shared in my book UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL and the other in my other book
TAPPING GOD’S BLESSINGS. It’s a message is about DEFIANCE. In Uganda when you
talk about “defiance’ some people think you are talking politics. Well, I am
not a politician. I am talking inspiration. I am talking about disobeying
failure. Defying fear. Challenging status quo. Disobeying reckless appetites. I
am talking about refusing to be party to traditional patterns of thinking that
tell you, for instance, that you cannot get rich while still a youth. I am
talking about refusing to be refused.
When Donald Trump joined the presidential race, some of us
thought he would not even go through the primaries. He won. We said he won’t
get even 30% of the votes. Well, he refused to be refused and today he is the
president elect of the United States of America. That is DEFIANCE. Whenever you see anyone succeeding at anything,
never think it happened by chance; they defied failure. Think of Nelson
Mandela, Mother Teresa, Oprah Winfrey, Billy Graham, Bill Gates, or any other
achiever. None of them reached where they are by accident; they did things
differently. Everyday we see men and women registering fascinating
achievements, one after the other. To the surprise of many, these achievers
seem not to look different from other people. They aren’t necessarily taller,
fatter, darker or lighter than others. They are just ordinary people who are
achieving extraordinary success because they decided to think and act
differently (defiance).
When I went to a leader of publishers in Uganda asking him to
help me publish my book and he told me that I could not sell even 500 copies in
a year if I dared go ahead and publish it, I went ahead and published it and
sold over 3,000 copies in a month. That was DEFIANCE. I am talking about the
stamina to defy every limiting factor. In my books, I also refer to this
principle as ‘Divine Disobedience’. This does not mean disobeying God, but
rather disobeying anything that disobeys what God wants me to achieve.
Divine Disobedience means turning a deaf
ear to negative voices from within or outside our lives. It means disobeying
every limiting theory, tradition, belief, culture or thought. It means,
sometimes putting faith above reason. When I declared that I am expanding WORLD
OF INSPIRATION and opening an inspirational centre, it was 2 years ago and I
did not have even a hundredth of the money it needed. But I believed in my
heart that once I achieve this, I will be able to touch lives as millions of
people from all over East Africa will be served by this centre. Well, last
month, which is 2 years later, it happened and now WORLD OF INSPIRATION is at
LLOYDS MALL, surrounded by 5 banks and people keep asking how I did it. Well, I
practiced the principle of DEFIANCE. I refused to fail.
Many people ask me: What’s the best
business for me to do with such and such an amount of money? Well, I tell them:
Every business can create a billionaire. It is about how you do it. Winners do
it differently. Winners don’t follow the bandwagon. Crowds can be going in one
direction and a winner is going in another. To prosper you must be willing and
ready to take the risk of doing things differently, whether other people
approve of it or not.
You could dig into the past for even to the time of the first
civilization in the world where Egyptians invented the art of writing and
constructed pyramids. You won’t find any of them who did not practice this
principle of DEFIANCE – doing things differently from the common methods.
Abraham Lincoln lost elections for various posts more than seven times before
he finally became one of the greatest presidents America has ever had. Great thinkers like Aristotle, Plato and
Archimedes were thought to be mad because they thought ahead of their times.
But till this day their names are still remembered by history. Napoleon
Bonaparte was in the class of peasants, who were never supposed to rule, but he
challenged that tradition and ruled not only France, but also nearly conquered the whole of Europe.
You don’t have to do things like everyone else. Don’t open a
salon because it’s what others are doing. You don’t have to rush to the music
industry because your friends have said it’s the in-thing. Don’t let your life rotate around someone else’s
way of doing things. Tap into your uniqueness and watch your potential explode
to unimaginable magnitudes.
While most of my friends were stuck in the
small talk of jobs, appraisals, promotions, salary increments and the like, I
shocked them by resigning my job to enter the scary world of business. I had to
defy all the traditional beliefs that give jobs undue prestige. Today, those
who laughed at me have come back to laugh with me. Some of those who vowed that
I could not make it are the ones testifying that they knew very well that I would
make it.
I am challenging you to start disobeying all
the cultural, intellectual, and contemporary patterns of thinking that limit
your ability to achieve your set goals. If your colleagues call you a woman for
taking a soda while other men are drinking beer, insist and continue disobeying
them. If people say no one can start a business with no money, disobey that. If
your relatives think your whole kika (clan) was not carved out for business,
disobey that.
My most selling book is a novel entitled ‘TEARS OF MY MOTHER: The Success Story of Nyamishana, the First
Female President of Uganda’. Even before being put on the market, it had
already generated a big debate amongst my friends and colleagues, especially
because of its title. People were tasking me to explain why I wrote about what
hasn’t happened and cannot happen – a woman becoming president of Uganda. But
who says it can’t happen? Just because it hasn’t happened doesn’t mean it will
never happen. Why should I limit my thinking to what has happened before? Why
should I write what everyone else is writing? Why should I think like everyone
else? By not writing about the obvious, the content will trigger the minds of
my readers to think. If you must prosper, at some point you have to part ways
with popular opinion and think differently.
As I wrote that book, TEARS OF MY MOTHER, I knew that out there,
there are infinite possibilities. I wanted the mind of the reader to enter the
hitherto uncharted territory. I wanted the reader to enter into another
dimension – a realm where nothing is impossible. No wonder, this book has
fueled the dreams and ambitions of people from all walks of life –
entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, investors, parents, teachers and everyone
else who is looking for secrets of success. This reminds me of the great words
of the former South African President, Nelson Mandela, “It always seems
impossible until it’s done.”
I have put together 10 powerful books that will make you master
this principle of defiance and prosper no matter your field. Some of these
books are written by myself, while others have been written by other great
authors. Today and tomorrow I am giving them to you at a throw-away price. Each
book goes for UGX 30,000, meaning the 10 books would have cost you 300,000, but
I am giving them to you at only 180,000. You can also choose any 5 books at
only 100,000 3 books and have them at 65,000. This offer lasts for 2 days only.

Road, Opposite Kamu Kamu Plaza). For those unable to come, we are able to

FARMER: This book captures the story and ideas of Dr Emma Naluyima, a Ugandan
revolutionary farmer who is using one acre of land to earn what some farmers
have never earned even on a hundred acres of land.

INSPIRATION in these two days, I will serve you myself.
