Make An Impact

To make impact simply means to add your own quota,
strength, value and voice to your community.

Once you can identify your community, you should go ahead
and make a positive impact on it.

Age, sex, religion or educational level does not deter you from
becoming a great man or woman.

There are salient questions you must give answers to before
you can even think of making an impact in any community.

KNOW WHO YOU ARE
Who are you? This is the fundamental question you must ask
yourself. Other ready questions you must also ask yourself are;
why am I here? What can I do? These questions will help you
position yourself as a solution provider.

What new skills did you learn in the first quarter of 2007?

Late last year (2006) i made a list of some activities
and new skills i would get trained on within the first
quarter of 2007.

True to my list, i made sure that i attended the
necessary seminars and workshops that will make me
better in my business this year.

I am glad to inform you that i have done everything i set
out to do in the first quarter. I joined some organizations,
learnt new skills, attended workshops both in Lagos and
Abuja to improve my skills and i am really glad that i did.

Now that we are in the 2nd quarter, i am in the implimentation
stage of all the new skills and knowledge that i gathered in the
first quarter.

So, did you learn any new skill in the last quarter?
