Get on with it already!

You’ve got a calling, answer it. You’ve got something you are passionate about pursue it. You’ve got a dream, chase it. Enough with the excuses already! Tomorrow is not promised. Today is all we’ve all got to make a difference.

It’s easier said than done Ekow…I’ve heard many people say that to me but honestly honey, it’s your fear talking. You can’t harbour faith and fear at the same time; you’ve got only one life to live and it’s not a dress rehearsal. This is it; no second chances.

With God, all things are possible you say but you keep holding back with the chorus; God’s time is the best or at the right time or when I have enough money or when I get married or when my children are done with school or when am done with school or… (fill in with your excuse).

It’s not about the big move but the consistent little moves towards what you desire for your life. You want to touch lives; start with one life. You want to start a business; start with a hobby. You want to start foundation; start volunteering in other similar foundations. You want to be wealthy; start learning prudent financial management, You want to get famous; start being known for something relevant. You want to be heard; start a blog. You want to write books; start with an article.

DO SOMETHING ALREADY AND STOP PROCRASTINATING! TIME & CHANCE HAPPENS TO ALL BUT WAITS FOR NONE.

The Pursuit of Happiness…at Lekma Polyclinic

Happiness is a word known by many but truly experienced by few. I spent sometime with the staff of Lekma Polyclinic talking about the pursuit of Happiness, the indispensable need for them to pursue happiness at work, home and in life and the many benefits of living a truly happy and fulfilling life.

Thank you Dr. William Okyere-Frempong for the opportunity to impact the lives of your amazing staff at Lekma Polyclinic, a government institution with a difference. Indeed leadership is everything and knowing how outstanding a leader you are, I wasn’t surprised to experience such an atmosphere of friendliness and order in your hospital. Kudos to you big bro and thank you.‪#‎IgnitingDreams‬ ‪#‎EMONE‬ ‪#‎ahappypeople‬

What Dr. William Okyere-Frempong Said: 

For our monthly Staff Personal Development Friday session at the LEKMA Polyclinic, we had the honour of hosting the CEO of TANOE, Mr Ekow Mensah a serial entrepreneur, speaker, business consultant & life development coach as our guest trainer.

Thank you Ekow for choosing to invest your time and knowledge in my team. The feedback I have received is remarkable. You’re truly one of Ghana’s best kept secrets.

Are you happy? Truly happy? If yes, kudos; you are on your way to a fulfilling life. If you are not happy; make a resolution today to pursue happiness in your life, family & work. #PursuitofHappiness #Ahappypeople #EkowMensah

 

SANITIZE YOUR LIFE

Sanitize Your Life – Follow us @EkowMensahOne

Today was declared a National Sanitation Day by the AMA and a call was made on all citizens to put in an extra effort to rid their homes and communities of filth. I am not sure how many responded to the call but I hope you will respond to this call that the #EMONE team is making on this day the 1st of November, 2014 for you to SANITIZE YOUR LIFE!

This is in no way saying your life is filthy but we’re asking you to get rid of things that easily entangle you and prevent you from moving forward. We are asking you to get rid yourself of the negative and parasitic people who undermine your potential and keep taking from you without giving anything back. Get rid of the thoughts that lower your self-esteem and the activities that waste your time. Get rid of the habits that can wreck your future and destroy your relationships. Get rid of job that frustrates you, of the partner that brings you pain, of the worries that makes you sick. Essentially, we are asking you to free yourself of everything that makes you function lower than your capacity, sad rather than happy and heavy rather than light.

The #EMONE team is asking you to rid yourself of everything you don’t need and bless others with them; like cloths, books, toys and even money. It is never too late to SANITIZE YOUR LIFE and never too early to start now. Let the month of November be the remarkable month that you made the extra effort to be lighter, be happier, be passionate, be kind and be CLEAN… that is be Calm no matter the situation, Lovely no matter where you find yourself, Empathetic no matter is who affected, Assertive no matter the intimidation and Natural no matter the influence. #Sanitizeyourlife. #emone Follow our Campaign @EkowMensahOne and Like our Page http://www.facebook.com/ekowmensahone

 

Keep Going…

I am not sure that Thomas Edison knew exactly what he was inventing since he had never seen a light bulb before so there was nothing to compare it with. I am certain though that he knew the problem he wanted to solve and no matter how many times he failed, he still persisted until he succeeded. You may be very busy doing something u r not too sure of right now but u r excited and very passionate about the problems it may solve and the lives it will impact. Don’t give up! Everyone may not understand what you are trying to do. Still don’t give up! You may feel frustrated, depressed and lonely. Even still; don’t give up. Some day soon, it will all come together and the fulfillment u will feel will be truly overwhelming. The world will reward u with the money u deserve and people will celebrate your success. This is not the time to give my friend. Try one more time with every passing day. Don’t give up! ‪#‎ekowmensahcoaching‬

Don’t let today’s troubles
Bring you down,
Or allow you to question
Your ability

Don’t let life’s little obstacles
Keep you from trying,
Or become the reason
For defeat

Don’t let your fears
Keep you from dreaming,
Or from chasing
your dream

Don’t give up for any reason
Believe in yourself,
And in yourself
You’ll find strength

 

You have what it takes!

This week so far has been very fulfilling for me. I am having one of my facilitation session for the Barclays Bank sponsored British Council Ghana Blazing Trails training program for Entrepreneurs and this time I have been privileged to have a physically challenged and a blind participants who have been so outstanding. The blind uses a computer to take notes and carry out the assignments and very active in airing his views and asking questions. I was humbled when he came to me at the end of the 1st day to let me know how empowered my presentation has made him and how grateful he is to us for the opportunity to learn. I was overwhelmed with joy and felt truly fulfilled indeed. The physically challenged is extremely attentive and very much involved in all the sessions and boy, does he have a big dream. Reading his vision statement inspired me. Indeed being physically challenged or blind doesn’t make them less human but if you have been able to read my post to this point, know that you have some privileges they don’t have, so you better stop making those excuses they don’t even make. Get on with your dreams and stop holding yourself back. You truly have what it takes. Ekow Mensah on Entrepreneurship #emone #britishcouncil
