THE DANGER OF THINKING YOU ARE WORKING SMART

#EntrepreneurshipSeries: There is no short-cut to success that does not involve hard work. Don’t be too fast to talk about smart work if you haven’t persistently worked hard on your dream.

There is a very wrong attitude cropping up in Uganda these days. Some people want to earn without working. I often get people begging me to buy them lunch and when I tell them to come and I give them work so that they can earn that lunch, they look at me with the ‘you_think_Iam_that-cheap’ look and walk away. They somehow think they are entitled to getting money without working.

When you send such a person with 150,000 shillings to WORLD OF INSPIRATION to buy for you books, he will bring you only 3 books and tell you that the prices increased and hence there is no balance. In fact, he will tell you how he used his own money for transport and ask you for a refund. Yet this week WORLD OF INSPIRATION is selling 5 books at 100,000! So he will make a difference of over 50,000 from you and call that smart work. But that's not smart work. It is not even work. It’s stealing.

For some people, working smart means earning without working. That’s far from the truth. Working smart means that you persistently worked so hard, got results, but with experience kept learning and figuring out how to put in less time and effort yet achieving the same results or even more. So, smart work, does not exclude hard work; it builds on hard work. Hence, if you want to earn good money, start by working hard and along the way you will master how you can bring in smart work. Money is a tool that facilitates exchange of value, meaning that to get it you must give some equivalent value back. If you see rich person, know that he/she has been consistently giving great value to society. Even if you inherit wealth or win it, you cannot maintain and grow it if you are not adding value to society.

Today, I recommend for you HE TAUGHT ME TO DREAM, written by Dr Rosemary Byanyima, featuring the success story of her dad, JOSEPH BYANYIMA. The book was written in honor of Mzee Byanyima at his 90th birthday. I took that photo on the cover about 2 months to his 90th birthday, but see how young he looks. He is healthy and still drives his car! This is a man who rose from being a simple primary teacher to a teacher's tutor and later to a head of a Teacher Training College. Today, in his retirement, he owns a school, a great farm and a mega tree plantation.

Following in his footsteps, his daughter whom he taught to dream, became a leading scientist in the field of radiology (diagnosing disease using scans and x-rays). She sits on international boards in that field. In fact she is one of the owners of KAMPALA IMAGING CENTRE, which is a fast growing business with 4 branches in Uganda.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to dream big and also inspire his/her children to also dream big. If you have interest in the school/education business, you urgently need this book. A copy costs only 30k. Remember, this week, we have the #Save50k promotion in which we are giving you 5 books (worth 150k) at only 100k. Include this book #HeTaughtMeToDream in the package you choose. I am at WORLD OF INSPIRATION (located at LLOYDS MALL Entebbe Road) waiting to serve you. If you need me to send your package, call me on 0704666851, 0779911844.

HOW TO SUCCEED THROUGH BLESSING OTHERS

#SuccessPrinciple: You want to succeed in business, career, leadership, investment, spiritual life etc? Here's a principle: You cannot prosper unless you become a spiritual solution provider to the people in your territory.

When I arrive at WORLD OF INSPIRATION, before I do anything, I make the sign of Jesus' cross at LLOYDS MALL and declare that by the victory from the precious blood of Jesus there's no power other than the power of God that will operate in the building where I work.

I proceed to ask the angels of God to stand on top of LLOYDS MALL and the roads leading to it - Entebbe Road, Luwuum Street, Kampala Road Nasser Road and Nkrumah Road - to watch over and protect everyone who steps in the area whether they're coming to my business or not.

I dedicate myself, my workmates and all our products that WORLD OF INSPIRATION shall be a point of contact for all our customers to experience the power and divine intervention of God in every area of their lives. I learnt this from my friend Dr Edward Kazaire of #KazireHealthProducts who spends an hour in Holy Mass every morning praying that God will use his products to heal and deliver his customers. No wonder Kazire is now among the top 5 fastest growing brands in Uganda. So I use the same principle to pray that God will use our inspirational materials and courses to change lives.

I invoke the fire of the Holy Spirit to terminate every negative spirit in the spiritual realm across my territory and then I make prophetic declarations, blessing everyone connected to me by business, friendship, faith, blood, physical contact etc. Often, either that same day or in the next few days, I get testimonies from people confirming exactly what was declared in the prayer.

Why do I labour so much to pray for other people? It's because God has not blessed me for myself alone, but for his kingdom. Your purpose is bigger than you. WORLD OF INSPIRATION is bigger than me. It's God's tool to bless his people. Hence, wherever a child of God is, the fact that you are there alone is a reason enough for God to bless the people there. Joseph was just a houseboy but his master's entire household prospered because of his presence. The Bible goes on to show that even the nation of Egypt was blessed with food when the entire middle East was having a stinging famine simply because Joseph was there. He was their point of contact with God's realm.

Start today to be a blessing to the people in your territory. If you do not put in effort, you'll find yourself being negatively affected. You will carry the bandage of others. You'll be a casualty of wars you do not understand. Imagine if you don't pray for your landlord and he brings a witchdoctor to make sacrifices in the building you are renting? What happens when your customers or service providers keep dedicating  their money to the devil through human blood sacrifices simply because you did not pray for them? What happens to you, if you are not praying for your workmates and they begin bringing fetishes at your workplace to 'protect' their jobs? At the end of the day, praying for others people is actually praying for yourself.

In the name of Jesus, I cover you and everyone else connected to me with God's pillar of fire. I decree that by the shed blood of Jesus you are protected from all harm. I declare that whatever has been hindering your spiritual and material progress breaks under the weight of the Cross of Jesus. You shall prosper wherever you go. Today, because of the power of God you are receiving through this prayer, doors that had been closed are now opening before you. You shall be accepted where you were formerly rejected. You receive divine wisdom to implement all your Godly plans. You cease to toil with no results. From today on, the favor of God brings results in the work of your hands. Every verbal, legal, spiritual and physical threat to you crumbles at the sounding of this prayer. Because you are connected to me and to WORLD OF INSPIRATION, you receive courage and faith. Every spirit of discouragement, fear, worry and panic leaves you now. You receive righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I have prayed with thanksgiving. 

#Testimony – How Books Transformed Phillip from a Drug Addict to an Inspirational Giant

When we tell you that success is possible, there are life stories to prove it. Last week, BAITWA PHILLIP, one of my long-time social friends passed by WORLD OF INSPIRATION to check out our resource centre and get to see our reading space and the inspirational materials (books, magazines and videos) that we have. Apparently, he runs book reading clubs which I will tell you more about later. But first, let me tell you the testimony of how this young man’s life got transformed from a drug addict to an inspirational giant.

While in school, Phillip got involved with bad groups and was introduced to drugs and alcohol. He ended up becoming a drug addict and dropped out of school. In order to manage the situation, he was handed over to his uncle who is a soldier. Apparently, staying under the watch of a military man was thought to be handy in managing the worrying situation that was growing from bad to worse.

Finding himself locked inside his uncle’s home, Phillip decided to check everywhere in the house, specifically looking for money to steal so that the moment he gets an opportunity sneak out of the compound he would run away and go to find drugs. Instead of finding money, he found 2 books – RICH DAD POOR DAD by Robert Kiyosaki and MILLIONAIRE by Napoleon Hill.

Bored to the bone marrow, he started turning the pages of these books. He felt a lot of wisdom from what he was reading and so he read on, devouring all the words and chewing on them like a cow chews the cud. What followed was a great period of transformation that saw Phillip totally delivered from drugs, alcohol and everything related. In fact, that very day he started reading the books, he decided that he would never take drugs again and he never did. Who says deliverance is not possible?

Phillip went back to school, starting from ‘A’ Level. He went to UCU where he qualified as a lawyer. In the meantime, he kept reading every good book he found; his uncle was so instrumental in buying him more books. By the time he finished university, his level of engagement was already very brilliant. Along the way, he became a leader in various positions. At the university, he contested for Guild President and won. Today, he is a Human Resource Manager of a progressive coffee company in Uganda.

Given his background, he wished to help as many people as possible also benefit from reading like he did. He started mentoring young people, sharing with them the wisdom he was mining from books. One time, while in Kenya and was invited to a book fellowship. He was so surprised that an enthusiastic group of people was reading books as though it was a celebration. Remembering that it was reading that changed him, he decided that he must also mobilize Ugandans to read massively.

With mentorship from his friends who were running book fellowships in Kenya, he started book a reading club in Ugandan in March 2016. He mobilized 35 people and when the day came, only 4 (including him) turned up! But a focused person is never discouraged by initial low results. He pushed on. The second week, they became 5. They kept meeting at the Uganda Museum, once a month, to read for personal growth, national development and community development. The number kept increasing; by the end of 2016, they had reached 100. Today, membership is over 300 people.  

As 2017 started, they decided to split the club into smaller groups (35 of them) that are now spread across the country. Each group meets every Monday. Then, once every 2 months, they all meet for a networking event. His organization is called ‘League of Young Professionals.’ The target age for membership is 18 to late 30s. The idea is continuing to grow and now looking at expanding to the rest of East Africa.

Imagine what an honor it is for me and for WORLD OF INSPIRATION to get involved in this transformative cause? I am ready to offer full support to this revolutionary idea. Just like Phillip, reading changed my life. Most of what I do I did not learn from school but rather through reading. Many people can’t believe that I never studied literature as a subject at school and yet I’ve written a dozen books and my company has published more than 300 books for other authors! I have been able to avoid many fatal mistakes simply because of reading. Because of reading, I’ve conceived many great ideas that have pushed my dream forward. Reading is almost divine. It opens our minds to a realm of possibilities. While you are struggling with a problem, someone went through it, overcame it and wrote the solution in a book.

Because I know how much great books can change your life, I do all I can to invest a lot of money into writing, publishing and availing local inspirational books to the East African population. This is the very reason we organize promotions where you can get yourself the best books cheaply. For example, the whole of this week we are running a #Save50k campaign where we give you any 5 books of your choice at only 100k instead of 150k, thereby helping you save 50k. In stock, we have tantalizing books on money, business, investment, jobs and career, spiritual life, leadership, health, education, farming, personal development and so on. 

You only need to visit us at LLOYDS MALL Ground Floor (Entebbe Road Opposite Kamu Kamu Plaza). My team and I are there waiting to serve you. We shall give you all the information and advice you need and also help you choose the best books that will meet your needs. If you are not able to physically come, call me on 0704666851, 0779911844. I will still attend to you and even send you the materials you need.

How I love this! 9 months in my mother’s womb just to inspire!
