I have always been asked, “What is your secret to success?”
I created my theory and I am growing wings to make sure its practical. I have been to school studying theories that have been made by Europeans but I have not yet seen an African make a theory. If there is a theory or model made by an African I confess my ignorance. As an African I decided to coin my own theory to success.
My theory: LAW OF MULTIPLICATION
This is one of the important laws I consider important. Its not a secret as it is open to the public.
Theory: Think in multiplication to multiply success.
The universe is a product of multiplication. Everything in life should be multiplied. Knowing how to multiply makes you successful. If you want to succeed think in multiplication. I don’t mean that it’s a Maths class however thinking in multiplication will make your ideas breed success. Let me give you examples of how people think in multiplication.
As a writer, I can write only 1 book then publish it to be read by more than a thousand people. If I ask myself how many times I wrote the book, I find out that I just wrote once but I multiply the book into more than 1000 copies to boost in sales. I might spend my entire lifetime earning money from a book I wrote once. Then think about all those writers who have written a 100 books. Its the law of multiplication.
As a farmer I can plant 1 maize seed and then in 3 months I get a cob which has a minimum of 30- 60 seeds. What then do you think of the whole plantation. After all it’s only 3 months needed to work in the plantation to produce a yield that last the whole year. What would I do with the other 9 months when I am not farming? Law of multiplication
I can have a piece of land maybe 40 X 40 square metres in a rural setup and plant an orchard in a rainy season. I then put 20 X 20 seeds of different fruits meaning I will get 400 trees.
How many times do I plant an orchard? It’s just one. But I will enjoy the whole of my lifetime enjoying the fruits of something I just planted once. That the law of multiplication.
Let me say enough of farming, an example in the field of technology.
An IT Guru can create a software just once yet the software is installed to as many computers as possible in the technological market. How many times was the software created? How many android applications are raining on Google play store? I can create a relevant application for consumers and sell it for 20 cents. Since its a relevant application I can multiply by 200 000 who can download ( this is just a minimum possible download) 0.20 X 200 000 = 40 000 USD. How many times did I create the application project. It was just once. Then we start to wonder why Bill Gates is a billionaire. Simple it’s no secret. Its the law of multiplication.
I can have one single website to advertise my products but I reach thousands of people. Ask yourself how many websites do I have? Its just one, its still the law of multiplication to boost my sales. Facebook is just one single website, though continuously improved but its still the same website but we have millions of people on it.
WhatsApp platform. How many times was it invented? Just once, It’s the law of multiplication.
What about a musician. How many times does he or she records an album. Just once but he or she multiplies by selling a lot of copies when launching an album.
Whatever you do and think just try to think in terms of multiplication. Just think of something you can do once and multiply. Sometimes it’s not always about working harder, sometimes its about working smarter.
Warren Buffet’s statement sometimes makes me wonder, truth does hurt.
“If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”
I bet if we think and act in multiplication then we will surely succeed. What is it that you can do today that can be multiplied tomorrow?
Most people are afraid of being lonely. I wonder who told them that being alone means being lonely.
When you are alone that’s when you get to know yourself better. A chance for self-reflection. You have to stop all the noise, all the music and have total silence to hear all your collective thoughts. Some of you want to run away from your thoughts because they haunt you. Don’t be afraid, sometimes what haunts you can give you a revelation of what you are missing.
Alone time is a chance to observe your thoughts and patterns. How will you observe your thoughts when you are in a crowd?
There are a lot of distractions in the crowd. The next task is having a pen and paper and write what you are thinking, writing your fears as they are and even what haunts you. After three days if you read your piece of paper you will start reading your mind. Does that really need a psychologist to do so?
I spotted my flaws from then. Have you ever been confused as if you are three people in a single being. Its nothing else but the clashing of thoughts within the mind. What more if you are in a crowd in this state. You will get more confused. There is a popular cache phrase people are now singing
” Me, myself and I”
Is this a product of 3 people in a single being?
But do you really mean it. Time alone is definitely needed.
Great ideas are born in solitude, so are great men. All great leaders you have seen came from this portal of being alone but it doesn’t mean they were lonely.
Should I tell you about someone who spend 40 days and 40 nights alone in the wilderness? A revelation for you, the more you are closer to finding yourself the more you are closer to finding God too. How many prophets have you seen or heard who got their calling in crowds. They get a calling from God in solitude, is that a secret. Next time you see someone climbing a mountain alone remember he or she is going to find something you are not finding in yourself. If you find me alone never think I am lonely. I am facing the greatness in me.
