To Succeed you must not only see yourself as successful in your mind first and have clear self image of your exact success that you want, desire but you must also have a Grand Master Plan for it in all areas. You must write down like 100 Goals in all areas from Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Financial, Investment Emotional, Health, Family, Social, Educational, Philanthropy or Giving Back to Society, Professional, Career, Social, Environment, Travel bucket list, Toys or things that you want. Breakthrough is always intentional and very deliberate. The clear you are towards your goals the easier your life becomes. I have spent more than almost two decades now studying successful people, their patterns as well as creating my own life blueprint and am always on my own journey for success too. Am a doer not just a speaker because I am number one beneficiary for what I teach. Everything I write is what I believe in and what I put into practice.

People who think Big, or who have longer plan from 20 years to 50 years in advance succeed than those who only plan for one year to 5 years. Big reason is because is that in life there are some years which Nothing big happens in decades and there are days which decades happen.

Always give yourself space when planning because at one point things will always go wrong and sometimes totally wrong. There are times in life where nothing won’t move or you will be dragged back. A season where everything works against you, you lose control and become like you are dead when you are actually alive. A season sometimes that’s too painful you lose friends, death steals someone really close, you get really sick, you lose your job, your promotion gets delayed or taken away, deals go wrong, you get conned, lose a lot of money, get heartbroken, your friends literally walk away from you because of how badly you are doing and shit happens.

Negativity attracts negativity and same way success attracts more success, failure attracts to itself more failures. Denial itself is not an option the faster you accept you are in mess, the more you can save yourself the agony of hope as you keep thinking things will get better instead of being radical and take control, change what you can change, salvage what you can salvage, shift to the cheapest house possible, scale down dramatically and move on. As men pride destroys us most not adding if you happen to marry someone like you, both of you don’t want to scale down.

Crisis demands a leader, a leader is the one who gets realistic and calls a spade a spade not a big spoon and know that you are sinking in debts, your health is becoming worse due to stress, anxiety, you are slowly becoming easily agitated, quick to anger and your smile is slowly fading out.

Losses of any kind has a way of robbing everyone their smile, positivity, control, confidence, courage, love and worst of all failure to think and plan objectively. Never ever allow yourself to lose control no matter how bad things are in your life. When you make radical decisions sometimes even if they are wrong stick to them. Some time you must make a decision and stop listening to people. Listen to people but never ever let their advice become orders. I personally don’t take orders from anyone when it comes to my life. Give me advice and leave me alone to weigh all options. It’s my life and I am the one who will deal with the consequences of any decision I make. Remember if you don’t make a decision then that will slowly become your habit of evading to make tough decisions so that you don’t hurt others and that’s how we lose control of our own life.

Nobody becomes really successful without hurting anyone and sometimes you will hurt the people closest to you not because you want to hurt them but for their greater good which they may not see today but in the future they will come to understand when you achieve your dreams. Success demands you to be firm and fast decision maker. If you are not good in decision making and planning then forget success. You must start day one with the last day in mind and work backwards as you tick the goals you have set for yourself that what makes life awesome. Trying to please everyone that itself is master key to failure. Only a fool thinks that everyone likes them.

Be a Grand Master planning ten fifteen steps ahead of your current move. Anticipate all worst case scenarios in your plans and come with counter attack measures and strategies. Always hope for the best but be always prepared for the worst. When the worst happens don’t cow down, instead be bold and face your worst fearlessly. Sometimes your worse seems like a lion only for you to stand up with courage and realize it’s a dead lion without claws. Sometimes our fear is just in our own mind.

To Succeed in whatever you do you need to have a Grand Master plan for your own success. Success doesn't just happen it is caused to happen. Few are lucky to find themselves succeed unconsciously but don't be deceived. When decades happens in days as God says that one day with God is worth over 1,000 years. When God day's happen in your life it's full of favor. It's what caused Napoleon Hill to say that, "When riches come, they come so fast that you wonder where they have been hiding from" When decades happens in days, you are able to supplement your decades which Nothing happened with grand plans you had.

Grand Master Plan helps to you think through not just for survival but for thriving. Grand Master plan helps you to be a pro thinker, it forces you each and every day to think about your anticipated success even when you have no single sign of success. This becomes like your life puzzle or life game of chess where each day you are forced to think through all angles like, what if I had all the money I ever wanted in the world, what would I invest in? Where would I guard my money with? Which is the best companies I can invest in? Which are the people I can invest in? Which Businesses can I start? Who would be the best people I can hire to work with? Which impactful projects can I invest in for giving back to the communities? Where would I buy a plot to build my dream house? What size of the plot? What size would my house be, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, what will be the size of my table room, master bedroom? What car would I buy for myself? What make, model, color, year of make, engine size? What courses would I support? What would I change in my wardrobe? What type of phone, iPad, laptop, watch, jewelries, shoes, home appliances, kitchen appliances, furnishings, electronics would I have? The more clear and detailed you become in your plan the better it is for you. Most people wait to have money so that they plan instead of planning before they have money.

Unfortunately 90% of the whole world population plan their life when they have sure resources. They will start shopping for a car when they are fully sure they will get money to buy one. Most people start looking for qualities on who to marry or get married when they are already in relationship not knowing they are blinded since you can't see the door when you are in the frame. Once they have sex with whoever they are dating and they like it they become blinded and make terrible decisions. You must know when you want first before you go out looking for it whether it’s who to date, what to buy, where to invest your money, what to pursue in your studies and even who to spend your time with. There is Turkish proverb that says, “The devil tempts all men but idle men tempt themselves”

You can't know what is Success if you didn't plan for it. Do you want to achieve a Goal? Have you ever done window shopping in advance? Faith makes you go out of the way with confidence and to raise your standards and class so that you go asking for the best of the best in everything you desire. For you to enjoy a good life, you must first have a clear mental picture of the exact good life you want.

Very few people in this world practice teachings of self image. Self Image gospel is the gospel of Faith. The people who succeed and all the world 2,065 Dollar Billionaires we have today are products of faith consciously or unconsciously. A person of faith not only prays and fast to be blessed with a car or a house but will pray with action, he or she will go to the yards that sells exactly the type of car they want, they will do the simple steps first and get money for driving School, they will go for test drive, they will know all the features they want, description of the house they want and whatever they want and guess what soon what they want will be so clear and their faith keeps growing. As your faith keeps growing you start not only attracting people but also the resources that you want. I read comment by one of my fellow Motivational Speaker discrediting the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne but I would tell him that this book is not for men and women of little faith but of deep faith who have Revelation. I will be writing to an article soon to explain why I totally disagree with him 100% on what he wrote.

Qualities you need to Succeed with Positive self image

1. A clear written plan. Companies has 5 year vision, nations has vision but most people don't have their own personal vision. Habakkuk 2:2 God commanded Habakkuk to write down his vision. Whatever is worth achieving it is worth being written down. Have a personal vision for 20 years and above. My vision was 20 years before but after Covid-19 Pandemic I have shifted it to 30 years, now it's shifted, rewritten from the year 2017-2037 to now 2020-2050. The longer you plan the more you appreciate even your worst moments because you take your time to reflect and learn something. Be broad don't focus like poor people who only plan about having money, let your goal have,

A) Spiritual breakthrough, where you connect yourself more with God. One of my goal is to finish theological classes and read more than 100 best books on faith and more so written not by researchers of faith but those who lived the life and surround myself with great men and women of practical faith from all religions of the World. I want to be spiritually mature and to do that I have to learn how to be non judgemental of faith.

Physical Breakthrough, focus on your great health, plan to go either to one self defense classes to the highest level I know I quit Tae Kwon Do and one of my students today teaches his Country that, he has taught me the power of Consistence though I was his beginner teacher, today he can Challenge me when sparring or in layman language in the arena. It doesn't matter who started to teach you what, the one who does it consistently and with passion will always outdo the one who was master when. Hobbies like mine is swimming, acrobatics which I admired when young and no matter how increase in size I have never allowed my size to define my flexibility. Start thinking those activities you will be doing in your old age and the best Author who opened my eyes ten years ago about this is Dr Wayne Dyer especially "Wisdom for the Ages" read that book, it's a great eye opener, being a father of 8 kids who was brought up by a single mother.

C) Mental Breakthrough, focus on developing your Mind through reading daily, listening daily and creating time to think Daily. Focus on being a pro thinker. One of my friend we call each other "Thinker" but when you start serious thinking in your life that's when you realize that many people don't think no matter how intelligent some are. To become a better thinker try to surround yourself with highly aged men and women who have failed successfully and those who have highly succeeded. You learn from both regrets and wise decision and even those who have succeeded always have regrets of the decisions they never made.

D) Financial Breakthrough, focus on Achieving first your Financial security, then Financial Independence or Financial Freedom to Financial Breakthrough. Financial Breakthrough is about learning to give whether you have little or much. It's about living a life of impact. Where you learn to Advance your skills that make money to the highest level and mentor others, give your time, money and skills. Poor people think they can only give money but Dollar Billionaires know that giving time sometimes it's the hardest sacrifice one can ever make. It's easier to give money when you have lots of money than to give time. Time for me today is the highest treasure I can ever give to anybody, my time is becoming very limited, very rare that sometimes 24 hours I feel itself is not enough as I have so much to do. Sometimes I wake up and have so many emails to read and reply, so many messages on texts, so many DM in my inbox, bookings, I have leadership positions in over seven different organizations leave alone my company, so many projects, am still in school finalizing another doctorate I enrolled, other short courses I need to be done, am reading two books concurrently, balancing two projects, my kids, family, have two active Alumni Groups both Primary School group, High School Group, othe professional groups where I have leadership positions plus I also have life and I love life and living to the fullest. I love having fun and enjoying the process plus I love personally posting all my social media plus I always want to keep writing articles like this for my books. My time is expensive to give than money nowadays. As you grow and reach to the Top in your career your time automatically shrinks and you look back and sometimes see the year flying like a jet speed. Plan your finances well, it’s not how much you earn that counts but how much you save from every money you earn. How much do you pay yourself and make sure you pay yourself first. Be extremely very selfish when it comes to paying yourself make yourself the biggest emergency you can ever have, save that money in Sacco that gives you good dividends, flexible loans, invest in companies that gives best return on investment, do land banking. Buy some piece of big cheap lands with right documents and hold them, the younger you are the more years you have to see your money appreciate in value as land always appreciate, build few rental properties. Stop paying rent, buy a big plot in new upcoming areas so that you can buy two or three plots instead of one with the same amount of money and build yourself a nice house if possible with a garden so that you can garden like I do, for fun and for food. I garden on buckets with my wife as my plot right now is small on sacks which we have put soil but we dream of owning a big garden in the future but in the meantime we make maximum use of available resources.

E) Social Breakthrough, focus on being with people no matter how successful you become. Attend your friends events, good times and bad times. I have learned from those who are 80 years and above that when you grow old what you miss most no matter how much money you have are friends you can share good times with, friends who have been there through thick and thin. Create time for your family, nuclear and all extended members no matter how successful you are. Stop being busy for your family and family events no matter what. Stop being available for your friends events who are not there for you to reciprocate. Become extremely very mean with your time. I have developed a rule after being failed again and again that “Am available for my friends who are available for me. I would rather have few friends who we reciprocate what we do than have so many friends who takes advantage and steals my time”

Your family matters are never urgent to you but you realize how precious family is when you get sick for weeks, months, when you have pure life crisis. Your friends will be there for you first few days and first weeks but as your sickness or your family member sickness becomes chronic they slowly wither like flowers and you look around and the only people remaining are very few friends who will stand with you through thick and thin and your family members. At that time this really hurts you deeply knowing how you have stood with some of your friends through thick and thin, sacrificed your time, resources and if you are like me, took leadership initiatives, mobilized resources through social media groups, calling their close friends, sending reminders, collecting money but when it’s your turn they just slowly disappear. You are not the only one, so forgive and take that bitter lesson. Forgive them but become smarter in your next move. Going forward promise yourself to be available for those who are available to reciprocate and invest your time, resources very wisely.

As you support others out there first seek within as you seek without. Family are ungrateful but you don't support your family for them to be grateful, family are the best teachers for the world out there. I like Vietnamese sayings that "Families always take care of each other" You help them because you have to help them no matter how ungrateful they become. Even God helps us no matter how ungrateful we become after being helped. Be there for your Community when they need you, take those leadership position when community or society calls on you, when you people call on you, when your Country calls on you, when your Continent calls on you and when your World calls on you. Life is not about having money but having people who can count on you and you can count for. Don't be that person who never attends other people's functions, burial, weddings, dowrys, parties, graduations celebrations, harambee's or fundraising because Karma is a bitch. Mentor enough people and give more of yourself to your community.

2. Initiative driven person -attempt to find new ways of doing your work, suggest improvements, new ways you can achieve bigger, better sustainable results at what you do to grow. This leads to you being recognized by current or future employer who might be your colleagues or customers. There is always a better way to do what you do and get better, bigger and bolder results.

3. Be passionate in your work. Love what you do or do what you love. When you are passionate in your work you give it extraordinary attention that helps you deliver extraordinary results. The more your mind, body and soul is passionate in the task at hand the easier the tasks become for you and the greater the results you deliver.

4. Build your Capacity continuously. Real wealth is portable. It's either Knowledge or Skill. Robert Greene in his book which I highly recommend “Mastery” says that it takes 10,000 hours to make you an Expert or stand out and 20,000 hours to make you stand out be known for what you do. This means almost 14 Years if you take 2 hours every day to learn something in your field to be an Expert and 28 Years if you take 2 hours to stand out. Or 7 years if you take 4 hours each and every day of your life whether it's Sunday or Christmas, every day, week, month, 365 days a year and 14 years. People admire results but lack discipline to produce the same results which takes discipline to produce. It requires dedication, Determination and extraordinary focus.

5. Be a people's person. Be a man of the people. Build your networks, association and pay any price to be in the company of great people. Nothing is precious than surrounding yourself with positive people, people of actions, people who live their life making very tough decisions and making them fast enough because the world depends on those decisions. People who produce results and not give excuses. Create a likeable character. Be a likeable person don't be too selfish, sometimes life it's not about black and white but grey. To be likeable person you have many grey areas since you have to sacrifice your goals, desires only to help another person achieve theirs. I told very prominent Business people in one of the training they have paid for me a flight, give 5 star accommodation, ground fare transportation that when you start making profits in tens of millions make sure you bring your best friends on board to make the same money because profits goes together with losses. You don't expect to make profits of tens of millions and expect to make losses of hundred thousands but of hundred millions.

The day you start making millions of money it's both your best day and your worst day. You also make decisions that can make you go bankrupt within minutes. Never forget that, profits goes together with losses. It's only a foolish person who starts to makes millions and never invites their friends on the table not because he or she wants them to make the millions but because he or she knows one day they will cover one of the stupid decisions, we always make one believe me. There are some even now I haven't been able to bail out, believe me they are painful. This are the times you realize wishing your friends well when they make progress and you aren't making is true sign of maturity. One day you will need their help. Above all help even those who don't expect to be helped by you because God sends you people you didn't expect to help you and those you expected don't do anything or does little. Sorry my friend it's how the world works.

6. Have a positive self image always. Always look on the positive side of life. I read a book that “My friends always worry about my chronic disease which I don't,” You need to develop a mantra that says “I am incurable optimist no matter what” Have positive attitude no matter what happens to you or what you are going through. Read positive things, watch positive things, listen to positive things. Speak positive words, affirm your goals regularly and find only the good to people you meet. Speak only words that heal, bless and prosper. Bless those who curse you to neutralize their harm. I highly recommend you read my book "The Power of Self image" No matter how broke I have been I have never even one single day failed to declare that I am a dollar Billionaire and Dollar Billions comes to me easily, quickly, frequently and abundantly. My God tells me let the poor say I am rich and let the weak say I am strong. I am connected to the source of all wealth.

7. Believe in yourself crazily. What you believe you create. Believe yourself to create amazing results that you have conceived mentally. You can never outgrow your belief in yourself.

Let’s meet at the Top with positive self image as you choose to remain an incurable optimist.
