F orbes’ second annual definitive tally of America’s wealthiest, most successful self-made women includes 60 trailblazers – 10 more than last year – who have crashed ceilings through invention and innovation. These women, who are worth a combined $53 billion, have created some of the nation’s best known brands, such as Gap, Spanx, Proactiv and Vera Bradley. A number of them have also helped build some of the most successful companies in tech,  including Facebook, eBay and Google, while still others got rich entertaining millions through their music, books or TV shows. The richest self-made woman in America is  Diane Hendricks , who owns ABC Supply, the largest wholesale distributor of roofing and siding in the country. The daughter of dairy farmers, she started the Wisconsin business in 1982 with her late husband Ken. Today Hendricks is worth $4.9 billion, $1.2 billion more than last year when she came in second.

What Happens When You Miss The Sunrise? Wait Another Day? In the words of Chika Gwen, ' never go late to anywhere in the world' _____________________________ 1 month before I travel, I am already packing I am already weighing my bags, I have booked hotel, airline tickets, health insurance, my passport is renewed even before I have a plan to travel. All this last minute something is not me. When I am in Lagos, I like to leave hours before my scheduled ANYTHING. I don't care if there is never traffic at that time, I don't care if the venue will be closed, if I arrive early. You don't understand. If I ever fail, it will never be because I did not do my best _____________________________ Every time I have flown by myself, I have arrived at least 6 hours before my flight. Yes o, I will sit at the airport, uncomfortable seats, but if I miss my flight it will not be because I was late. Every time I have flown with others, I have lie...

　 cold people One of the first things I noticed about Lagos was the cold - not the harmattan or the rains, but cold people. You might not notice it if you've been here all your life. However, I lived in Ibusa, Asaba, Ogbomosho, Port Harcourt and Benin City before coming here and the difference in emotional climates was interesting to note. People are always busy, brusque and on the move. Always frowning because smiles are somehow deemed a weakness. If you smiled too much, those mainland 4 ... 19 boys and pickpockets would see you as an easy target, and so everyone walks around with their bulletproof armour. More noteworthy (especially among the upper middle class) is how people tried to use other people as ladders so they could discard them as soon as they'd gotten to the next 'helper'. The consequence of this culture is the pervasive unhappiness that no one talks about. Behind the pretty makeup, wigs, designer bags and business suits, people have lay...

The Dog Ate My Homework   “There are a thousand excuses for every failure but never a good reason.” – Mark Twain The Dog Ate My Homework IF YOU”RE FEELING  a little emotionally fragile, you may want to read this one later. Or never. Don’t say you weren’t warned. I have a confession to make… I’m sick and tired of people’s whining, complaining, rationalizing and justifying why their life is a succession of unfinished endeavors. People who have lost and regained weight like a yoyo on steroids…people who start projects but never bring them to a finish…people with the highest intentions and who deliver the lowest of results…YET they’re still looking for a quick fix, an easy solution, a silver bullet. As the creator of the 100 Day Challenge and someone who is constantly dealing with people who want to create positive change in their life (relationships, finances, career, health, appearance, attitude, lifestyle, etc.), I hear way too many excuses. As a rule, ...
