PREFACE
MyLife’sJourneyandMotivation
I was born into a family of six in the mid-1950's in Warri, DeltaState,Nigeria.Welivedinamudhousewheretherewasnoelectricity and it was difficult to access drinkable water. My fatherwas always in and out of menial jobs and at times, it was challenging for us to get a decent meal to eat. From an early age, I began to fend for my family by going to the water side to collect firewood to sell.Unlike us, neighbours and friends did not have to struggle to eat,some took their security to ready available food for granted and their parents would even discipline them or buy them multivitamins when they refused to eat.
I quickly realised that knowledge was key and began to dig deep, as I wanted to satisfy my growing curiosity on the big social differences in society. Why where some living in affluence and others in abjectpoverty? I had tasted poverty and hated it. It was this hate thatfuelled my choice to live a life dedicated to finding out exactly why the world works the way it does.
I went to college as a house boy to a teacher because we could notafford to pay the school fees and that was the best the college coulddoforme.AftercollegeIwenttoworkforPanalpinaWorldTransportation Company in Kano.I bought a house for my motherand established a hotel for her.Then I bought a taxi, started a taxifirm and began to buy more vehicles,however I was not satisfiedwith my level of knowledge. I wanted more. I wanted to become aglobal entrepreneur, not merely a local one. I left for Britain in 1983, where I studied accountancy. While there, I took exams to become an accountant and began to apply the knowledge I acquired to variousbusinesses.
By 1991 I was a chartered accountant and a chartered tax advisor.AsIwasinvestinginmyglobaleducationinBritain,mywifeandI bought two shops in 1995 but had to sell them by 1999 in order tofight bankruptcy.
In 2000, we established East London ITEC an IT and accountancytraininginstitute.From2001-3,IestablishedbranchesofPeter Osalor and Co. in Port Harcourt, Warri, Yenagoa, and Lagos. Wetruly became a multinational global enterprise.Believing I couldmake a difference of the state of affairs in Nigeria, I ran for governor of Delta state in 2007 but was not elected. Throughout my entirejourney, I have gained extensive experience in teaching, accounting, management, capacity and business building. Over time, I began tonotice the consistent, predictable patterns and principles that appear to accompany and govern all business and career success. The most important of these principles is having an entrepreneurial attitude.This is what I aim to teach within the pages of this book. It is mydesiretoguideandmentoryoutoyourpathofbecomingasuccessful entrepreneur.
My purpose in life has been the same for more than thirty years. It is to liberate the in-built potentials of individuals by giving them ideas and strategies to fast-track the benefits and rewards they can achieve as successful entrepreneurs. I intend to motivate people by makingthemrealisethatsuccessisachoicetheyhavetomakeandANYBODY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL if they choose to be.
Putting into practice my vision for entrepreneurial development inAfrica, I have established several initiatives:
- I have established Success in Your Business, a UK registeredcharity committed to eradicating poverty by equipping individuals withtheentrepreneurialspiritandtherightskillssucceedin business.
- I have an on-line TV program
- As part of my awareness creation strategy for entrepreneurship, I run a weekly TV programme called Success in Your Business onAfrican Independent
