Have you ever visited yourself before? What do know about yourself? How does it feels like to visit you? If someone visits you, will their expectation of you be met? Or will they be disappointed? What and what will people find when they visit you? What is the content of your making? What type of fruits and gifts where you made up of? Who are you, really, who are you? What do you know you have to offer? What and what are you sure of, if people meet you today, they can get from you?
When you visit Spar, Shoprite, Roban stores, Innoson company, Dangote factory or any Insutition like the School, Church, Governmental organizations etc you know what exactly to expect. You are not in guess of what to expect or what not to expect. You are certain of what to get or purchase when you visit any of them.
If you visit any shopping mall say ; Spar or Roban stores you know you are going to buy or see either groceries, clothes, electronics, shoes, jewelers, restaurants, etc. You are not going there to see airplanes for sale or yachts for sale at the mall, no you won’t. So with this knowledge you don’t go to the mall wanting to buy airplanes or yachts. No! If you want to buy an airplane or yacht you know where to go. This simple knowledge saves you the time and the stress of going to a place and then be disappointed of not getting what you wanted.
Same thing as going to Innoson Manufacturing company, you don’t go there expecting to buy candy or clothes, no!! If you visit there, you visited with the intention of buying or test-driving a car. It will be absurd for you to go there expecting to purchase candy or clothes, even a madman wouldn’t think that.
In other news every company represent a brand, what brand do you represent?
Or don’t you know, you are a company? Every company either produces stuff or renders services, you, what do you produce? What service do you render? Until you start seeing your self as a company you might not have any brand. Brand is only associated with those who know what they do. What do you do? What do people know that you do?
Even some people on this earth, when you think of them, one thing comes to your mind. If you think of beyoncé, one thing comes to your mind Music, if you think of Ronaldo one thing comes to your mind Football, If you think of Sylvester Stallion, one thing comes to your mind Movie, when you think of John C Maxwell, one thing comes to your mind Leadership, when you think of Albert Einstein, one thing comes to your mind Science, when you think of Benny hinn one thing comes to your mind healing, when you think of Pastor Chris, one thing comes to your mind, teaching of the word, when you think of Robert kiyosaki, what comes to your mind is financial education and this is the same to every person and every company you know. They are all known for one thing. They might be into so many other things, but this one thing they are known for.
Now my question to you is, what comes to people’s mind when they think of you? MARCHANT OF ALL MASTER OF NONE? No!! You can’t go far like that. Men who go far in life are men who are known for one thing.
Show me a great man who you know that made it through engagement in multiple events, and I will show you a bird that can fly without a wing. Focus is the wing of success. Without focus no man succeeds. Great men are men of one thing. In Philippians 3:13 Paul said :
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. (NLT)
No wonder he was so great, one of the greatest if not the greatest Apostle ever lived. The secret of greatness is focusing on one thing. No man ever becomes great focusing on multiple things. You can do Multiple things after you have succeeded in doing one thing and one thing only. Your success in one will lead you to your success in many.
Again Jesus repeated almost the same thing to Martha when he came to visit her and her sister Mary.
But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:41-42 AMP
Did you see that?? Jesus said you are anxious and bothered about many things but ONLY ONE THING IS NECESSARY. Oh what a powerful statement!! In life only one thing is necessary yet many people weary themselves up doing multiple things. This is one of the major reasons a lot of people don’t make a tangible mark in life. Yesterday they were doing A, today they are doing B, tomorrow they will do C, they don’t have any area of concentration. Take for example, you are writing two exams , one of the exams you wrote with area of concentration, the other you wrote without the area of concentration, between these two exams which one will you do well? Of cause you will do well in the one you wrote with the area of concentration. When you concentrate your energy on one thing you achieve more results than when the energy is scattered.
I ask again, What is that one thing you are known for? What will people think of, when they think of you? What will they expect when they visit you? What will they get from you when they visit you? Do you even have an idea of what you have? And are you sure that what you have is what people want? When people visits you Will their expectation of you be met? Will they be satisfied that they met you? Or are you pretending to have it but you don’t really have it?
