    About this ebook

    There is a belief that super stardom is reserved for some folks; it’s for musicians, politicians, preachers, sports men and women, media moguls and speakers. Very few people from other fields show up. The truth of the matter remains; we’re all born to shine. Greatness is reserved for each one of us. Condoleezza Rice put it in this way; “Every life is worthy and every life is capable of greatness” Human beings are created with unlimited potentials. The potentials to become whatever they want to be have been installed in their spirits. If you become less than a superstar in your field, career or business there is no God or ghost to blame. It’s up to you to stretch yourself and occupy your area of greatness. If you take deliberate efforts to make yourself a superstar, you will surely get there. With your strong desire, plan for achievements, efforts to make it happen, hardworking, clear vision that gives a sense of direction, unquenchable hunger and force of focus-YOU’RE UNBEATABLE. Prophet Uebert Angel says “When you’re at the top, you become a topic”. You belong to the top but you can choose to dwell at the bottom.
    The question is why does few people rise and shine as superstar and many don’t? This book will expose to you ten principles that will guide you on your journey to the world of great people. It will ignite your passion for greatness and help you unleash your full potentials for greatness.

      About the book

      Prologue

      I want to introduce to you the world of great people. Great people are inspired by achievements. But what keeps them great is the purpose of their greatness. Many people miss the purpose of greatness. You don’t become great for the sake of being great. Greatness is a motivator. Greatness comes with responsibilities. In fact greatness is meant for responsibilities. The most important question to ask is what will you do when you become great. You have to fulfill your dreams, serve your people, influence your generation and leave your mark.

      As Eric Thomas stated, At the end of every feeling is nothing. At the end of every principle is a promise. Follow these principles and get the promise of greatness.

      PART ONE: CONCEPTS

      The Concept of Success

      Here is one of the best definitions of success I ever found as defined by leadership guru John C. Maxwell as knowing your purpose in life growing to reach your full potential and sowing seeds that benefit others.

      In the book Principles of Growth the author introduced success in this way: there is no destination in success; we grow from success to success, glory to glory, grace to grace, faith to faith, victory to victory, triumphs to triumphs, and conquering one battle after another. This means, if you see success as a destination you will be frustrated every moment you accomplish something. Success shouldn’t be a destination. It’s continual growth. I have never been motivated with my past achievements. The only things that motivate me are the things ahead of me and not my past achievement. Human beings are created with unlimited potentials. When you have achieved one thing the need for more comes into place. Therefore success is a journey.

      In one of my interviews with a radio presenter Tony Kapola , on one of his radio programs posed a shocking question to me in Success segment of his P&W program. This is what he said, are you successful? I was young, just finished my first degree, no book, no job, and some other sorts of stuffs that people consider as success. I jumped into the answer YES. And he asked how and with what. I replied I am successful because right now, I’m doing things I wanted to do in life and still improving unto them. I thought I didn’t answer it right and from there I wanted to know what success is. Then I came to know that success is growing in all areas of your life on the purpose. Goals that have to be achieved don’t shutter the existence of purpose in your life. You set goals to achieve your purpose. Then, it’s only death that determines how much you have achieved and its legacy that show the impact of your success. Therefore, keep growing until death. If you you’re not growing, you might have been stuck or on wrong field or not aiming to succeed or having a poor definition of success as a destination.

      Note that; the measures of success differ from one person to another. The main reason is: each one of us is uniquely created to serve and fulfill a certain unique purpose.

      The Concept of Failure

      Let me begin with a person who understood failure Thomas Edison , he said, I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work. I think this was the driving force that helped him in the invention of light bulb. Failure is success if we learn from it.

      Failure and success is the product of attitude. If you click on the wrong button and respond came negative it is the sign of direction that tells you press the other button. Then why do we call it failure? It’s because what we expected didn’t appear. Only that. Actually what we see are the red lights telling us three main things stop, or wait, or
