“The invitation of the past – and Black History Month – is learn from it, be inspired by those who have positively shaped it and changed it and to apply that inspiration and mind-set and take charge of our own lives, careers, relationships and possibilities to create a brighter future for one and all,” says Rasheed author whose clients include Chief Executives, entrepreneurs, entertainers and the public highlights that self-responsibility, mind-set and working collaboratively is the key to progress.
“If you look at any inspirational figure be it a Seacole, King, Mandela, Winfrey, Obama they tend to share three key qualities vision, self belief and action. Theylearn from the past but shape the future by being proactive in the present, not passive and stuck in backward-thinking.”
“This Black History Month as we celebrate the 50 Anniversary of Dr King’s famous I have a Dream Speech’ the best thing we can do is to take up his call to dream – and to dream new dreams, take responsibility and to work individually and collectively to bring them to reality for all of humanity.” says Mr Ogunlaru whose books include Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business.
Rasheed’s Top 3 Tips for Progress and Happiness
1) Mind-set: appreciate life, believe in yourself, respect others and foster a strong, open mind. This will change your outlook and broaden your horizons. Identify your skills, talents and passions and use them to set your purpose / direction in your life, career and relationships.
2) Skill-set: success / progress require the ‘attitude of an athlete’: study your field, master your craft, plan, prepare, gather a great team, break goals into small steps, review, improve celebrate. Know you’ll learn more from races you lose than those you win – this creates champions.
3) Co-operation and compassion – if the world’s great nations cannot succeed alone then what makes you think you can? But go one step further; build strong relationships at home, at work, in business. Build a personal and professional network which will help you and others togrow. Play your part on this planet while you have time.
