Sorry, we have a few things to do before the Inspirational Tube gets ready. You can check back later. Thanks
In October 2014, a friend of mine wrote a book and he thought I should review it before it goes public. That book happened to be a book about blogging.
For those of you who know my story, you know that I’ve been a writer since I was 14. And though I’ve been hearing a lot about blogging, I never really…
When Walt Disney started Disneyland in 1955, the idea came from taking his kids to a park to have fun.
According to Disney, “It started with me taking my two kids around to zoos and parks. While they were on the merry-go-round riding 40 times or something, I’d be sitting there trying to figure out what you could do that would be more imaginative. I got the idea for a three-dimensional thing that people could come and visit. I…
When I was 16, my dream was to become a successful accountant. I was one of the most serious children you can ever imagine. Without anyone telling me, I stopped watching the TV. With no external inspiration, I started waking up early to read an hour or half-hour before going to school. If you talked about books, you talk about my food.
But there was a problem and that is, I only read academic books. Today when I think about…
Like every other person, entrepreneurs, sometimes, need to take a break and find ways to inspire and motivate themselves yet again, and what better way to achieve this than relaxing in front of a movie screen while getting inspired at the same time?
You see, inspiration is what keeps you going, as an entrepreneur when the journey becomes rough and hard. The mere thought that there are a couple of people who have walked a similar road and recorded success…
whenever we publish a video on this channel, it’s expected that there will be a few negative comments.
Some disagree with some things in the video while some even think that the whole video is stupid. One
other types of comment are comments instigating that the rich are going to hellfire.
Like about two days ago, a man commented on our video which was titled, “The 5 types of books every
rich person reads”. His comment reads something like, “They will also read…

Have you noticed that rich people behave in the same manner when it comes to certain subjects, like that of money while poor people tend to think and act in a way that is different from the rich folks?
Could it be that money makes people think differently or perhaps, people who think differently (from the norm) tend to make more money and become rich at the end of the day?
According to T. Harv Eker, the author of “Secrets of…
According to Daniel Goleman, an author and science journalist, “When we focus on others, our world expands.” However, we can only focus on others when we know how to socialize, which is the act of learning social skills.
Social skills, as defined by “skillsyouneed.com” are the skills we use to communicate and interact with each other, both verbally and non-verbally, through gestures, body language, and our appearance.
Social skills help us integrate ourselves into groups and communicate effectively. Even if you…
Aubrey Marcus, an experimentalist, unconventional fitness junkie, and human
optimizer said, " If I fail to follow my morning routine, I try to get a hard workout in.
A hard workout is like a manual restart of the day."
Successful entrepreneurs all have one thing in common- a morning ritual. I mean,
they realize that the way you start your day, no doubt, sets the tone and pace for the
rest of the day. Little wonder, Marcus disciplines himself enough to constantly follow
his morning…
This month makes it eleven years when I decided to start a business and build a company. Most parts of my last decade have been nothing but painfully exciting. I’m not sure I can ever again willingly go through anything as tough as I’ve been through in the last 11 years. However, through building a company has been the toughest decision of my life, it has also brought the most fulfilling life for me.
In today’s video, I want to…
One day a little boy went to his father and said, “Dad, I want to build the tallest building in our village”. The father looked at him and told him, “Stop looking at the tall building. Start with one block and two, then three and four”
the boy was unhappy by his father’s advice so he asked, “How can one, two and three blocks become a Skyscrapper?”
the father answered, “everythin starts from zero”
I’ll explain this story as we go on…
About two days ago, I and a friend were discussing about the young presidential aspirants in my country. We believe that most of these people are not smart, but I have respect for one of them. Not because he’s smart, but because he shows up every day.
I think because this guy tries to show up and do something every day, he’ll not only get smarter, he has a great chance of achieving his dream, even though he’s dumb.
In today’s…
According to the legends, in the year 1903/1904, the world’s most powerful people gathered. Though these people were rivals and business enemies, they have one thing that united them and that’s how to influence what children are taught in schools.
At this time, public schooling is still a babe, less than 50 years in most countries.
These guys were the richest industrialists. They had most of the money in the world, right in their pocket and they needed a lot of…
In 2008 when I decided to be an entrepreneur, what motivate me was the freedom. I wanted to live the way I like and that was the reason why I decided to build my own company.
However, when I announced my intention to the people around me, everyone told me how stupid I was.
I felt rejected and dejected. I was sad because even my immediate family members never believe in my ability to achieve what I said I wanted to…
One day, a little boy went to his father and asked him, “Dad, what can you tell me about the future?”

Just yesterday, I visited a friend whom we schooled together. In our school days, we both wanted to be entrepreneurs but when I divorced school, he still felt that he needed a little more romance with the boring textbooks that leads to a decorated paper called “degree”.
For many years, he has been an employee while I’ve been trying to build a company. I had my first business breakthrough 8 years after I started out in business but my friend…
As a little child, you’re a curious being, you’re an experimental scientist. You wanted to learn, you wanted to research, you wanted to know. You loved education.
But one day you were taken to school and a teacher started telling you that what education means is for you to cram what a teacher teaches you and write it back to her during a test or an exam.
By the time you’re done with schooling, you honestly think that you’re educated.
In today’s…
Every rich person says this one skill is the most important to get rich
One Saturday morning a young boy went to his rich mentor and asked him, “Mentor, how can I be as rich as you are, when I grow up?”
His mentor smiled and said to him, “Figure out how to work 1,000 hours every day and you’ll be as rich as you want”
The boy was confused and asked for an explanation; “Mentor, we only have 24 hours in…
William Thackeray said, “Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do.”
Success takes more than talent and Thackeray just confirmed that to us in his wise sayings.
You see, like successful people, unsuccessful people are equally skillful people. They’ve got great talents and can do so many amazing things with those talents. I mean, haven’t you seen friends or neighbors who are so good and…
I grew up on a cocoa farm where my father was a farmer. As a farmer, I often see my father separating certain yam or corn. I later understood that there is a different harvest for most plants.
Some harvest is to be eaten, some are to be sold while some are to be kept for planting in the next planting season.
People who understand money approach it the same way my father approach farming while those who don’t understand money…
