Living the dream.

LIVING THE DREAM

Being truly alive can be described as doing the things you really want to do.
a popular definition of success is achieving your set goal, unfortunately, many a time I forget to set my goals, or better still, change the goal to accomodate circumstances, to my detriment i realise that this is wrong.
having worked in Sales all my life, i have come to the realisation that,

1. Not all targets are realistic:  I  once had a job to head a unit in an organisation, the unit was created on the basis to help develop a Route to Market for the products.
when my KPI's was handed to me, i was too naive to ask for the road map, my tools and what exactly was being saidbin between the lines, I have learnt the biggest lesson in my life, ASK QUESTIONS!!! never be the Superwoman, there is no magic wand for achievement, review the target monthly,weekly, daily.
I grew up trying to please everyone, which is different from being the best you can be.

this is where the target becomes realistic.

what do i desire to become?
what would i do if I could start over?
what would i do if i do not need to worry about paying my bills?
my answers are
1. Entreprenuer
2.Make home made luxurious bathing Soaps
3. Enjoy each day a bit more.
4.  all of the above.

A wise man once told me that my Mission and Vision should always align with my enviroment.

Vision: Where do I see myself in the future?
Mission: how do i get there?

Vision for Oyindamola is
 " To leave an inheritance of Wealth, Knowledge, and pleasant memories to my Children's Children."

Mission
I would be the most supportive wife and mother by believing in my family dreams, no matter how absurd, I would embark on projects that will live longer than myself, I would document, take a thousand pictures of pleasant memories and archive them.

makes sense to me.
Life is worth living happily.

Who cares?

Live your dream Being Successful is relative; relative is a word that strikes my mind because we define what success is. When things are finally looking up, you have nagging thoughts “will this success stay forever? I hope I will not fail again, I hope this is finally it!” happens to me . Candidly, we were born to create, control and rule, we have this natural instinct to want more things, grow from phase to phase, different things, but one thing that is constant is the fact we need to move forward. Success is achieving set goals, goals are not tasks, they are what you want to achieve at a point in time, and the goal has to be timed. We finally achieve the goal, which is success, and you reward yourself, and it does not feel as you imagined it will be, maybe you have poured yourself into the mould that you have lost a number of relationships, you have been too hard on yourself, you never enjoyed your path to success, you have a feeling of emptiness, Success is not meant to feel wrong! ...

Science of Successful.

Becoming Successful is never dependent of your location, the kind of job or profession, neither is it about the way you look, or the kind of family you come from. I have spent a great part of my life in Nigeria and I got a lot of things wrong,  yes I do love Nigeria but I can honestly say that I was not happy with the infrastructure, lifestyle of my neighborhood, Schools I had gone to, just to list a few. My career has been dynamic,  my formative years  at a pharmaceutical Company gave me a strong foundation. I have been opportuned to be part of various projects, I have driven volumes for my respective territories or Area. During the last election, I preached the gospel of APC  because of Babatunde Raji Fashola . Lagos had transformed from a slum to a city I am proud of as a Nigerian, Lagos state should be a model we can repeat Nationwide. One phrase that rings in my ears, Entrepreneurship!. Being an Entrepreneur in Nigeria is scary, especially if you went to a Nigerian University. Rea...
