AS WE GET SET TO RECEIVE MARCH 2017, READ THIS.


February 2017 has just few days left to pass, I hope you met your financial goals? Can you give a good account of your financial life so far in this month?
How much did you make this month?
How much did you spend? On feeding, transportation, tithe, offerings, fuel, recharge cards, gifts, clothes, investment, savings, Education, debt repayments,etc do you know?
How much did you save?
Whatever your answer might be, permit me to remind you that this is actually the best time to prepare financially for March 2017. By this I mean your having a financial plan clearly outlined and quantified in monetary terms using a budget. You should not prepare your budget when you have received your 'alert', or after you finish spending your money, rather it should be done prior to getting the money. This will help you to among other things to,
1.) Gain control over your money.
2.) Know your financial limits thereby helping you from making dangerous assumptions and over spending.
3.) Have enough money for the things you really need.
4.) Help people around you. etc
Take time today to prepare for next month, and you will never wonder where you money went to.
Peace!

STRETCH YOURSELF

Image
Come to think of it. How would you feel getting to the end of your life only to discover that you did not fully maximize the potentials that God put inside you? At that point, your excuses won’t matter because you would see ways you could have circumnavigated every ‘limitation’ you had. Don’t wait to get to that point. Throw all your excuses into the trash can and stretch yourself. Even if the future is looking bleak,  ...you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards...  You won’t know how strong, tenacious, mentally alert, patient, humble, skillful, intelligence, assertive, wise, and coordinated etc, you could be until you begin to stretch yourself beyond your present capacity. Believe me, you have more potentials in you that you could ever imagine. You have it all in you. All you need is just to give yourself an opportunity to become a better you. Therefore, Take that risk today, Make that call, Read ...

DEBT RECOVERY

Image
Please what is the best method to recover debt? Truth be told, in reality, there is no particular method that is guaranteed to work in all cases. While you can borrow some templates from others (which might work), there is no guarantee that it will always play out that way. Every case is a bit different considering the fact the you are dealing with different individuals/relationships. The way you go about recovering debt from a family member/relative or even a very close friend is different from how you will go about it when dealing with a 'customer' that has refused to pay up. When relatives and close friends are involved, emotions come in and you might also want to take note the fact that emotions play a huge role in anything we do in life. That said, I can recommend some steps, but please note that this in no way means that you will get 100% result, but they can take you far and sometimes help you to recover your money. Also, the 1.) Gently remind your debtor about the ...

ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT? READ THIS.

“…Justice, the problem no be to rent house, na to renew the rent be the problem…” That was how Mr Jay responded when I begged him to help me look around his neighbourhood for a good apartment I could rent as I just got married and needed a better place for me and my wife. I later got to discover that Mr Jay was not the only one that held that opinion, most people actually believed that statement and I have come to see that the opinion is popular because of what many have seen and encountered in the area of rent payment. Rent is not a new word and therefore does not need to be defined here (my opinion). Every one of us is either leaving in a rented apartment, owns an apartment which people are living on rent, or knows any of the parties mentioned above. Stories of fights between landlords and tenants over the inability to pay rent as and when due are all around us. Come to think of it, is rent payment actually supposed to be a problem? Yes I understand the unpredictability of life’...
