I’ve learned something crucial about success: it’s dangerous. Comfort kills growth. Stephen Elop, in his final moments as Nokia’s CEO, put it bluntly: leadership is not about titles—it’s about managing change and leaving a legacy. He said, “We didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost.” That’s the hard truth: you don’t have to do anything to fail, but you must act to endure. Nokia was unstoppable once—synonymous with reliability, durability, and trust. Yet when the smartphone revolution came, it hesitated. Touchscreens, apps, and ecosystems reshaped the market. Nokia bet on the wrong horse: Windows Phone. Meanwhile, Apple, Samsung, and Google surged ahead, rewriting the rules. Comfort had trapped Nokia in its own success. This isn’t just Nokia. Kodak ignored digital photography. Blockbuster dismissed streaming. BlackBerry clung to buttons while the world moved to touchscreens. All of them fell—not because they lacked talent, but because they rested on past victories. The lesson is clear: leadership is not about how much you create today—it’s about how much you leave behind. You grow in private, but you must act boldly in public. Agility, vision, and courage are the currency of lasting influence. Success is fragile. Resting on laurels is the fastest path to irrelevance. The world won’t wait, and neither should you. If you want to lead, you must move first, adapt faster, and leave a legacy that outlives your comfort. ©️ Ayobami Francis

Writing about your future in the past tense activates the same brain networks used for remembering real events. According to research from Harvard University, the brain overlaps memory and imagination, causing future scenarios to feel more vivid and familiar. This familiarity reduces internal resistance and helps the mind treat the goal as something achievable rather than distant. As a result, motivation increases because the brain begins aligning behaviour with the “memory-like” future you described. While this technique doesn’t create actual memories, it powerfully engages the brain’s constructive memory system to support change. #fblifestyle Are you writing your 2026 goals now itself in November of 2025?

Good afternoon team, Business isn’t just about money it’s about meaning. It’s about the people we serve, the lives we touch, and the legacy we leave behind. When your vision is rooted in purpose, everything changes. 🌱 Your purpose becomes your brand’s heartbeat 💓 it inspires loyalty, trust, and long-term growth. 💡 Because when your business carries purpose, profit will always follow but what remains forever is the difference you made. 🌟Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Kingdom Builders, True leadership doesn’t begin with authority — it begins with service. When we serve others with a pure heart, we unlock the flow of both impact and increase. If you want to build a great business and consistent cashflow — become great at serving. Every act of service creates a ripple that attracts opportunity, trust, and prosperity. Money follows value, and value flows through service. Think about it — the greatest leaders in history weren’t the ones sitting on thrones, but the ones kneeling to wash feet. ✨ Examples of True Servant Leaders that created untold wealth: - Andrew Carnegie — built immense wealth through steel, but his greatest legacy was in how he gave it away — funding libraries, universities, and opportunities for others. - Oprah Winfrey — built her empire by serving her audience with authenticity, wisdom, and empathy — proving that when you serve people deeply, prosperity follows naturally. Each of them demonstrated that greatness is not in what you get, but in what you give. 🔹 This Week’s Reflection: How can you serve someone today — a client, a teammate, or a family member — in a way that adds unexpected value? 🔹 Kingdom Wealth Principle: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26 As you serve, may fresh ideas, new opportunities, and divine connections begin to flow into your hands.
