Chance Favors The Prepared Mind




Chance favors the prepared mind... (Unknown)


When I left my luscious bank job in June 2014, I did not go on a holiday. I hit the ground running. I went after the social media channels to advertise myself, and my products. I started a recruitment campaign, and I told everyone that cared to listen what I was going to be doing.

Believe it or not, this paid off. I got a call from an old client who had just been promoted to GM status in a hotel and she wanted me to come inspect her hotel, review and recommend areas of improvement.

I did the review, prepared a detailed report, submitted and I got a call to implement my recommendations. Trust me, it was quite rewarding. As happy as this was to me, it wasn't enough, I went through my contacts for links to manage corporate accounts.

You see, its not about the now, but the future. I look forward to having a constant flow of traffic and the only way round it was not just through the seasonal retail market, but a constant patronage from the corporate market.

This paid of also as I got 2 out of my targeted 3 corporate accounts for the month.
Now, you may think I am ecstatic about this, but to be honest, I'm not. I want more.


I want to be the biggest Travel & Tour Company in not just Nigeria but West Africa and beyond.
Now if you think, this is impossible, then watch me.

I have the vision, and this is backed by a strategy and lots of prayers.
I am taking it one step at a time but every week and every month has just got to be better than the next.

I celebrate each achievement, but am not there yet. I am nowhere near where God wants me to be.

Well, till we meet again, keep winning.

Thanks and God bless.
