Being consistent may not be your major issue But having a bigger vision, a life goal, a major outcome, life or death situation is the main gist. My biggest vision right now is to activate and inspire 5000 Africans and Caribbeans diasporans worldwide in 3 years to move to Africa while leveraging all forms of digital tools to generate mutliple streams of revenue annually. I started this by producing & launching my first summit the Diaspora Entrepreneurs Growth Summit 2019 and that moved me to continue the conversation into podcasting, I started inviting diasporans to share their strategies and also from other backgrounds as I believe there's no monopoly on intelligence or strategy.  This vision has propelled me to keep looking for ways to bring about the possibility to reach out to millions of Africans & Caribbeans.  My next virtual summit is the Move Back Summit 2020, (Learn Everything You Need To Know About How To Successfully Move And Thrive In Africa) Please get my free gift 5 Simple Ways To Destroy Bad Habits and 5 Quick Ways To Clear Your Mind Of Overwhelm today. 

Why Consistency Don't Work wt Victor Osioh DE054

 6 Defense Mechanism You Don’t Even Know That You’re Using There are some pretty amazing defense mechanisms in nature. Sea slugs squirt out their own intestines to make a veiled escape. Birds like peacocks and turkeys ruffle their feathers. Small animals like bugs and frogs carry poisons and colors on their backs to scare away predators—or punish stubborn ones. But when it comes to people, there may be a few defense mechanisms you’re using yourself that you barely recognize. #1: Denial: Sometimes an event or circumstance is so cataclysmicly devastating, we just tune it out, and don’t even know we’re doing it. You can become aware of your denial when other people around you call something to your attention. #2: Repression: This is sort of like denial, but it involves burying a thought of feeling deep inside, where it tends to come out in other ways. For example, you could be furious at your boss, and unable to release your anger at work, become vitriolic and argumentative at home. #3: Projection: It’s often easier to ignore our own faults, and pretend like other people have them instead. Projection involves seeing something bad in other people, which may or may not be there (like a negative character trait) when really, you are exhibiting that same trait. #4: Rationalization: This one involves taking a wrongdoing by you on others, or from others onto you) and reasoning it out to be okay. You’ll have to create a complex new system of logic in order to work this one into the universe in an acceptable way, but all sorts of crime from embezzlement to genocide have been rationalized as acceptable. #5: Regression: Regression basically involves taking a step back developmentally, to a space where it’s physically or emotionally safe. Children often regress as they move through life, going through periods where they revert to acting like a younger child. Adults may also undergo this process. For example, after getting fired from a job, you may revert to the safety net of looking for a comparably paying job, instead of searching for something better. #6: Reaction: Sometimes the primal instincts take over, and we get ready to fight. In situations that don’t have a lot of time around them, you can quickly jump into a reactionary mood before reflecting and calming down...for example, if someone cuts you off in traffic, you could step into a mode of road rage; or, if someone argues with you at work, you could quickly defend yourself by escalating the situation into a shouting match.Please get my free gift 5 Simple Ways To Destroy Bad Habits and 5 Quick Ways To Clear Your Mind Of Overwhelm today. 

How to Recognise Your Defense Mechanism wt Victor Osioh DE053

If you have chronically low self-esteem, then there’s a good chance that this came from other people.  (Please dont forget to SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIVIEW this show and episode.) The nasty thing about insecurity, jealousy and low esteem is that they are contagious. If you aren’t confident in yourself, then it will often cause you to become destructive and mean. You might put other people down in order to feel better about yourself and you might try to prevent others from fulfilling their potential because you don’t want to be left behind – even if this is happening in an unconscious way. At the same time, low self-esteem can mean you talk other people out of taking chances or following their dreams. This is not out of malice: in this case it simply comes down to the fact that you don’t have much faith in the ability that anyone has to change their fate. Chances are that you’ll know people like this in your life and that they could be the reason for your low self-esteem and confidence. Most upsettingly, there is a better-than-average chance that this came from your parents.   The number one way to raise a happy and confident child is to love them unconditionally and to believe in them 100% and support them 100%. I got 3, 2 teenagers, You need to be confident in yourself to do this. So, what do you do now if you’re trying to fix your low self esteem but you’re surrounded by people who are dragging you down?   The Best Advice The tip you’ll often read is that you should simply cut off contact with toxic or destructive people. I’ll say that you should take this advice if anyone is being purposefully cruel or belittling. You don’t have time in your life for malicious people. But if someone is doing it unintentionally, you shouldn’t just write them off: chances are they simply need help. What you do in the meantime is to surround yourself with more people who are positive, supportive and who do love you unconditionally and can help you focus forward. And you always remember to view what the toxic, negative people say through a lens of logic and reason. If they are putting you down, is it because they have a genuine point? Or is it because they themselves have low esteem? Finally, try to build them up too. That means you should ask them why they feel the way they do and do everything to support them. You can pull each other out of this funk, that is what friends are for after all!

How I Deal With Toxic People wt Victor Osioh DE052

4 Ways I was sabotaging my productivity For many of us, our productivity is one of the most essential qualities that we can actively improve. Being productive means that you'll be able to get more done, which could lead to a raise or promotion. A common misconception about productivity is that you have to work harder, take fewer breaks, and spend more time at work. However, most of the time, our productivity is ruined by the long-term habits that we hold. Here are some of the most common ways that you are sabotaging your productivity. ? °Learning to say NO to things that does not fit towards my goal was a great skill to learn For example, if you find yourself attending too many meetings Ask about the nature of the meeting and request an agenda so they can stay on track. ? °Not having Set Priorities It can be easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of responsibilities and tasks. Before you know it you've reached the end of your day, and you still haven't tackled the critical work. Setting and organising priorities in advance mostly before bed, really helped me in resolving this issue. With a clear priority system, you can determine which tasks demand your attention and which ones you can ignore for the moment. ? °Being Stuck with the Old Many people will sabotage their productivity merely because they are so deeply ingrained in a system that they've always used. You have a set routine, a set system, and you're scared to alter them because it has worked. If you want to increase your productivity, you need to experiment with new routines, processes, and make small tweaks. Eventually, you'll find a better system that will allow you to increase your productivity. ? °Failing to Learn from your Mistakes. If you try an approach for a specific task and it results in you spending half your day to accomplish a relatively simple goal, then you need to try a different approach the next time you are faced with the task. Failing to learn from my mistakes has cost me and will cost you precious time & Great relationships. If you find that you are committing one or more of these acts of sabotage, take comfort in the knowledge that you aren't alone.

My 4 Self Sabotaging Ways wt Victor Osioh DE051

On this episode, i spoke about the 2 ATTITUDES that has the power to change our lives instantly - Responsibility & Blame Many people, when they hear the word Responsibility, immediately associate it with burden or having to carry a load. Ironically, it is exactly the opposite. Responsibility leads to Freedom. When i took on these perspectives that created a situation, you can change or optimize it. With this realization comes a feeling of power and freedom. However, if you take on the perspective that someone or something else caused the situation, then you have NO ability to change it and you are left feeling powerless and resentful. When we are blaming someone or something else, we are actually giving our power away and putting ourselves in the position of being a victim. You see, if every situation is completely the fault of someone or something else, then our hands are bound. We have no choice but to accept it. When we choose to blame, we choose burden. If, however, we decide that every situation is something that we created, then we are back in control. I made a choice a few years ago, which tore my family apart for over 3 years and I made a conscious decision to make amends and take full responsibility for my actions and today we are better than ever. I could start blaming everyone else for my family breaking apart. We can make choices, which will change or at least modify the situation. When we choose to take responsibility, we choose freedom. Responsibility = Freedom + Empowerment Blame = Loss of Freedom + Disempowerment Send me a quick email victor@diasporachiefs.com lets talk about your amazing ideas, so we can strategies on action steps and be responsible to make it a reality.
