People often ask me, as an Enterpreneur, how do you cope with challenging business climate and the crisis of life.
Your faith would play the most important part in weathering the storms of life. Whether in business or personal life, you can face crisis. So how can you face crisis and win?
The scripture says, \”Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.\” (Isaiah 60:1-2)
The verse 2 of this scripture tells you that there will always be crisis but you shall pull through because of the glory of the Lord upon your life.
Alot of successful entrepreneurs can\’t cope with the crisis of either personal life or business. The news media is often full of stories of successful people who have either committed suicide or ended up in rehabilitation centres because of emotional or physiological breakdown. , The Law of faith can make the difference between winners and losers, especially in times of crisis.
Your faith during crisis will ultimately depend on what you know and believe prior to the crisis. The scripture puts it this way, \”So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ\” (Romans 10:17 NLT).
Therefore, the Good News is what you need to sustain you both in crisis and out of crisis. For instance, the scripture says in Proverbs 18:21, \”The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit\”.
Therefore, what you say when you are facing crisis  matters alot because life and death are in the power of your tongue.
So instead of digging your grave with your words, build castles with your words, irrespective of the challenging circumstances. This is called the Law of Creative Speaking.
It is only by saying creative words that you can get your mind to focus on creative   solutions that can get you out of the crisis. For instance, the scripture says,\”If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go\” (Psalm 91:9-11 NLT).
Knowing that God is your refuge and have assigned His angels to protect you, prepares you to face every crisis without fear.
It gets even better when you discover more Good News such as; \”You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him. You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you\” (Job 22:27-28 NLT).
Therefore, whenever you feel that you are facing the storms of life and the odds are stacked up against you, always remember that God promises to be your refuge and keep you in perfect peace.

This article is an excerpt from my book, \”The Laws of success\”

In bed this morning I was asking myself; \”what are some of the secrets to success in life?\”. I found the answer right there in my very room. The fan said, \”be cool\”, the roof said, \”aim high\”, the window said, \”see the world\”, the clock said, \”every minute is precious\”, the mirror said, \”reflect before you act\”. The calendar said, \”be up-to-date\”. The door said, \”push hard for your goals\”.  The floor said \”kneel down and pray\”. The toilet said \”flush the bad habits that will deter you from becoming someone influential in life!\” My Bible laughed and said, \”read me for direction\”.
The moral lesson from this piece is that God wants you know that there is a way out for every challenges you are going through. They are only temporary.
Therefore, be motivated to rise above your challenges and maximise your potentials for a successful life.

Someone else bad opinion of you doesn\’t have to become your reality in life.
You are responsible for the success or failure of your life.
Your life is programmed and controlled by how think, what you say and what you do.
Many people have become victims of other people\’s opinions, expectations and negativities. They pay too much attention to these distractions and they end up being negatively programmed.
You can  override these negativities by reprogramming your mind with positive and creative words because your words have creative powers.
The scripture puts it this way \”Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]\” (Proverbs 18:21 Amp).
On your way to success you will face distractions from those who your success remind them of their own failures.
They may try to discourage or even oppose you but the scripture admonished \”Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil\”  (Proverbs 4:23-27 NLT).

I often wonder why those we consider the best are not usually the winners.
You see God has a good sense of humour,    He often chooses what is considered worthless or perhaps impossible by human standard to ridicule those who have no regards for His sovereignty.
History is replete with stories of how God has raised men and women from the pit to the palace, against all odds.
This can only be by the law of divine advantage (God\’s favour).
Your success in life requires a combination of both physical and spiritual laws to enable you fulfill the purpose for your life.
You were created for a unique purpose in life and only you can fill that void (niche). In fact you don\’t have to compete with anyone because you were born with the unique potentials to dominate in your niche.
No matter how hard life has knocked you down, always remember you have the seed of greatness in you to rise from the pit to the palace.
\”I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.
People can never predict when hard times might come. Like fish in a net or birds in a trap, people are caught by sudden tragedy\” (Ecclesiastic 9:11-12 NLT).

One of the greatest setbacks in building a successful business or career by leaving your comfort zone to pursue a new venture is fear. Whenever you want to take a bold step and fear creeps in; you can either deal with FEAR as Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise.
You don\’t necessarily have to be great and experienced to start but you have to start to become great and experienced.
However, before you venture out, focus on learning, and taking immediate actions by leveraging Other People\’s Experience (OPE/Mentoring), Other People\’s Skills (OPS), Other People\’s Ideas (OPI), Other People\’s Partnership (OPP), etc.              
You don\’t necessarily have to reinvent new wheels to become successful in life. You simply have to start and gradually upscale, until you become a global champion.                          
By standing on the  shoulders of giants you can see further.

Success is not an accident, likewise failure; developing the habit of excellence in small matters is a fundamental attribute of successful people. The scripture puts it this way, \”If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won\’t be honest with greater responsibilities\” (Luke 16:10 NLT). 
Without trust it will be impossible to build a lasting and profitable business and personal relationship.
Excerpt my book \”Laws of Success\” by Clems

Don\’t make plans or negotiate business contracts based on where you are today (your current status in life) rather let your plans  and mindset be based on where you are headed to, because the future belongs to those that plan and prepare for it today. Above all, the future belongs to those that believe that nothing shall be impossible because every obstacle is a springboard to another level of success.

Quote from Clems Emeka ( Success and Motivational Coach. Author of Best Selling  Personal Development books).

PERCEPTION OF CHALLENGES IN LIFE MATTERS: Challenges could be turned to strength if you can only look at challenges from positive perspective.
It matters what you focus on and what you say when crisis struck because Life and Death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
#. Disappointment or closed door is not Rejection but Divine Redirection.
#. Failure is not the End because Fail means (First Attempt In Learning to live successfully) and  End means (Effort Never Dies).
Most Successful people are Ex-Failures that got mad at failing.
#. When they say NO to you it means Next Opportunity is better. Don\’t forget that every delicious food doesn\’t come in a haste.
#. When you are about to take a big step or decision that will change your life for the best and FEAR creeps in; you can either deal with FEAR as Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise to success.
#. People may say it has never been done before and in fact it is Impossible but Faith says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). The word Impossible means I\’M Possible.

Every problem has a solution.
Every question has an answer.
Just because you don’t have the solutions today does not mean you will never have them.
Don’t give up on yourself because you are only a Failure if you fail to rise again.
Today’s test will bring tomorrow’s promotion.
If you faint in the day of adversity your strength is small (Proverbs 24:10).

Vision does not see things as they are but as they ought to be. Faith talks about things that don\’t exist as though they exist. Those who deliberately employ this ability are called visionaries.
They are the ones who shape the future.
Hebrew 11:1 says \”Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.\”
Visionaries change the world through the power of their ideas, intellect, imagination, innovation, and creative visualisation.
Always set your vision very high because the limit of your vision is the boundary of your innovation and creativity.
When men say it can not be done, ask yourself why not? All things are possible when you believe.
Once you remove the limit of Impossibility by changing your perception to I\’m-possible, your mind will map out the strategy to make your vision become a reality.
So don’t settle for the ordinary; ARISE! Be a VISIONARY.
Say this with me, “I’M A WORLD CHANGER! TRAILBLAZER! BARRIER BREAKER! BRIDGE BUILDER! PROBLEM SOLVER AND AN INNOVATIVE VISIONARY”

The regrets of yesterday and the fears of tomorrow are the enemies of today\’s happiness.
It is your responsibilities to keep yourself happy and motivated despite any chall facing you, because happiness is a choice.
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, it will prevent you from seeing and taking advantage of the opportunities around you. The quality of your mindset at this moment is what shapes your future. Proverbs \”23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…\”
Challenges often marks the birth of greatness and miracles, so keep your focus and refuse to chicken out in the face of challenges because every challenge has an expiring date.
It matters how you react to challenges and negative circumstances; intelligent people ignore, strong people forgive and weak people seek revenge.
The greatest happiness is discovering your purpose in life and aligning what you do every day to it.
Knowing your purpose focuses your life by concentrating your efforts & energy on what is most important for your life.
You become more effective by being selective in choosing how you react to certain issues especially when they are negative and upsetting provocations.
It is human nature to get distracted by provocative issues and battles of the mind.
While most of our negative experiences will not kill us, they can slowly but surely erode our happiness, well-being and productivity.
That is why you need to keep your momentum high and celebrate your success at every stage of life because celebration acknowledges small wins on the larger road to ultimate success.
