OVERCOME THE FEAR AND TAKE ACTION

   Do you know why most people don't take action in their lives? 


   Because they are afraid of the unknown. After all, nobody likes things they're not familiar with. We hate when things don't go according to plan.


  When unexpected events make us find new ways to do things.




 Maybe it's an important decision you have to make without knowing all the details.


  Maybe you need to get something done without really knowing how to do it. Or maybe it's a worldwide crisis never seen before like last year's.


  It doesn't matter how well prepared you are for these things...


  There will always be a moment where these situations will catch you by surprise.


 It's just inevitable.


 All those situations make us feel uncertain...


 They paralyze us and stop us from going after our goals.


  And what happens to those who let their fear of the unknown take over?


  Well, they never get to live to their fullest potential.


 They never get to do anything extraordinary.


 They miss out on great experiences just because they were outside of their comfort zone.


  They do not consider great ideas that could've given them great results just because they were too new.


  Plus, they end up losing everything in front of those who do take action.


Don't worry, though.


You don't have to be like that.


  There's a way you can become someone courageous who takes action every time.


  First, you need to understand where that fear is coming from.


  See, the fear you're feeling now is made up of thoughts and beliefs.


  And those beliefs come from negative experiences you've had in the past.


 So, the first step to conquer your fear of the unknown is to see why it exists within you.


  Did you fail at a business venture and don't want this to happen again?


  Were you hurt in the past and that doesn't let you trust other people?


  What happened when you stepped out of your routine that you just don't want to do it anymore? Usually, you'll find the reasons you have are not based on reality and facts.


 They're just in your head.


 Then, bring your logical brain into the game, and start thinking logically about this fear.


  What are the chances that this happens again? And even if the worst-case-scenario happens, would it be that bad?


  Haven't I been able to succeed under similar circumstances in the past? When you do this, you'll realize something powerful...


 There's nothing to be afraid of. You've faced similar circumstances in the past and succeeded.


   Sure, there were challenges and problems to overcome, but they are just temporary. In the end, they will only make you stronger.


    You just have to take that next step and face the unknown.


  That's when you'll conquer your fear, and start living a more interesting life.


 

If you want to learn how to overcome your fears take action when it counts.

A New Chapter: Growing Personally and Building a Better World

 It’s been a while since I last published on this blog. Life happened; shifts, growth, waiting, and reflection. But in that space, something powerful took root: a renewed clarity about purpose. When I first started writing here, my goal was simple,to share stories and lessons about personal growth. I wanted to explore how we could become better versions of ourselves, how we could heal, grow, and step into our potential. That passion hasn’t changed. What has changed is the vision: it’s now bigger. Today, I’m reopening this blog with a broader purpose. We’re still going to talk about growth but now we’re stretching it beyond the personal. We’re talking about how our personal development connects to economic empowerment, decent work, and building sustainable communities. We’re talking about SDG 8. If you’re not familiar, SDG 8 is one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. It focuses on promoting sustained, inclusive economic growth, full and productive employment, and d...

Faithfulness Fuels Growth

  Hey there, happy new month! I hope this new chapter brings you peace, progress, and plenty of reasons to smile. I know new months usually come with fresh goals and plans, but beyond all the resolutions and to-do lists, I want to remind you of something that quietly shapes how far we grow. Today, I’ll be sharing with you a simple but powerful truth: faithfulness attracts growth. Let me take you back to a story Jesus told that still hits hard today. A master was about to travel, so he trusted three of his servants with his wealth: five talents to one, two to another, and one to the last. The first two invested what they received and doubled it. The last one buried his single talent in the ground because he was afraid to lose it. When the master returned, he was proud of the first two and rewarded them with even more. But the one who hid his talent? The master called him lazy and took away the little he had. That story isn’t really about money; it’s about how life works. Growth does...

Game-Changer for Small Businesses: How Nigeria’s New Tax Reform Could Spark Real Growth

 Nigeria has taken a bold step toward modernizing its economic framework with the signing of four significant tax reform bills by President Bola Tinubu. Beyond just fiscal restructuring, this move signals a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive and growth-oriented economy particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which remain the backbone of job creation in Nigeria. For too long, MSMEs have operated under the weight of multiple taxes, inconsistent levies, and burdensome regulatory processes that often discourage growth and formalization. With the new reforms—set to take effect from January 2026 the government is centralizing tax administration, simplifying the tax structure, and introducing clearer exemptions for small businesses. Companies earning ₦50 million or less annually are now exempt from several key taxes, while individuals earning below ₦800,000 monthly are also free from personal income tax obligations. This creates a friendlier operating e...
