Outstanding Businesses and entrepenuers of all times have got these key factors. from Steve Jobs to Jeff Bezos, from Zara to Amazon, From Peter Drucker to Albert Einstein.

Making any feat at all in the market place demands the dynamism of these two key factors. It doesn't matter if you are a Bloomer or Millennial. These two key factors would play out. Bottom line Everyone in the corporate Space and Business place are cognizant of these two factors.

Back in the african and Nigerian Marketspace..

Whether you use GLO or MTN, ETISALAT or AIRTEL.. 

Leave story, the goal is communication and connecting. However, everyone in the money spinning telecommunications industry have a STYLE and STRATEGY. 

In the Marketplace, style and strategy are two sides of a profitable coin. 

Jesus turned "Water to Wine".. It is a metaphor of Style of Work and Strategy of Communication. 

It wasn't for man to get drunk and stupid, it was for man to think about responsible Innovation that turns ordinary work into EXTRAORDINARY MODELS and SYSTEMS with Fulfilled Experience. 

Life is about stories but it is important to tell the stories of how you succeeded THAN the explanations of why you failed. Excuse is the exclusive profile of failures. 

Man was designed for SUCCESS but we need to understand that FAILURE is a SYSTEMATIC ERROR. That is an error not determined by chance but is introduced by an inaccuracy inherent in the system of man's thinking. Ecc 7:29!  

The preacher said "The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh". Ecc 4:5! 

Diligence is NOT an OPTION, it is a STRATEGIC OBLIGATION. 

It's not just about getting busy, It is being EFFECTIVE. Many people only run around without anything of meaningful value to show. Don't be such. Fools hardly reign for long. They are mostly experiments of mockery. 

Don't fold your hands and expect things to turn out just fine. Circumstances would shred you. 

Standing by and looking, hoping things will turn out good without strategic Work, it doesn't happen that way. It will be foolishness of the highest Order. 

Success doesn't happen by whimper and caprices. Success is structured. 

Business or Career, Vocation or Ministry, Science or Art. Technology or Hand crafted. WORK is a Necessity. Style of Work and Strategy of Work also matters.

Don't forget the truth of these wo factors, without STYLE and STRATEGY, you will have no success story to tell. 

Style of Work: 

What Values control your operational dynamics. What order of design presents your uniqueness to the marketplace. 

It's your poise, finesse, visibility, palpability and texture of customer experience. 

Strategy of Work : 

Systems put in place to ensure defined objectives are obtained. 

Structured plan of actions and activities that are plotted to reach preferred goals. 

This is about quality and elasticity of value. It is about products and service value that prints sustainable loyalty. 

THIS WEEK, TO GET BETTER RESULTS irrespective of what you do, Define your Style of Work and your Strategy of Work.
