Who are you listening to?

If you want to become successful who would you listen to? Would you listen to your neighbor who works at Walmart as a cashier? Would you listen to someone who is a plumber?

When many people hear you are working in marketing or MLM they quickly and freely give you advice. Yet they themselves have either never tried it or they have tried and failed at it. Does failing at a business mean that the business is bad? Not always, it can mean that the person who failed didn't have what it takes. They didn't put forth the necessary effort.

To become successful you would listen to someone who is already successful right? It just makes sense. They will teach you the steps to success. It's up to you at that point to follow them.

If you were trying to reach a certain destination and didn't have clear instructions on how to arrive there, you might stop and ask someone who knew the way. They would more than likely point you in the RIGHT direction, and even maybe help you find a FASTER route. If you were in Cleveland and need to find a certain place, you wouldn't ask another person visiting Cleveland right? Who would you ask? A resident of course, someone who knew their way around very well in that area.

When you want to know your way around very well in Marketing, you wouldn't ask someone new to it. You'd ask someone who dwells in it consistently and has been in it for awhile. Because they know it well, they can point you in the RIGHT direction and help you find a FASTER route to success.

I'll see you at the top!
This is so true.

Doctors Battle To Save Agagu’s Son’s Life

Feyi Agagu being moved from Emergency ward to another ward in LASUTH, this morning. 

Doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, are battling to save the life of Feyi Agagu, the son of the late governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, who was involved in a plane crash on Thursday morning as he and others were taking his father’s corpse for burial.

We observed as Feyi was earlier today being moved from the surgical emergency ward in LASUTH to the more comfortable Bola Ahmed Tinubu ward where he would have a better chance of survival.

Doctors who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity all confirmed that Agagu’s son would receive better medical attention at the new ward which boasts of more medical personnel and state-of-the-art equipment.

“There are more staff there, more modern equipment and they will be able to monitor him every minute. He has a better chance of survival there,” a doctor said pleading not to be quoted because she is not authorised to speak with reporters.

Our undercover reporter observed that Feyi was not unconscious and could recognise family members and friends who were in the hospital today.

But he was weak, did not speak and seemed to be under pains. He tried painfully to make a sign to his relatives but his hand came down almost immediately.

Feyi was among the lucky seven survivors who are receiving treatment in three hospitals in Lagos.

Five of those who are receiving treatment are in LASUTH while one is at the Airforce medical centre and the other is in Gbagada General Hospital, said Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who visited the survivors on Friday morning.

Idris said he was satisfied with the level of attention the patients were receiving.

He said one of the survivors had a surgery on Thursday night and three were doing well and one is in critical condition.

He did not say whether it was Agagu’s son or another survivor he was referring to.

Our correspondent observed that family members, friends and sympathisers stormed the hospital but were not allowed to see the survivors.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, said at a press conference in Lagos, southwestern Nigeria, that the crashed plane had a subsisting Air Operators Certificate, AOC, and had a current Certificate of Airworthiness, known as (C of A) which was supposed to expire on 22 October, 2013.

Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi, the Director of Consumer of Protection at NCAA, who represented the Director General of the agency, Fola Akinkuotu, said Associated Aviation Limited last operated their aircraft on 30 August before it crashed yesterday, killing 13 people.

He said the airline only conduct chartered operations.

Abdullahi said the Brazilian made Embraer 120 aircraft marked 5N-BJY could carry up to 30 passengers and was registered in Nigeria on 22 May 2007.

He declined to take questions from journalists, claiming that NCAA is also under investigation by the Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB.

At the time of this report, AIB was yet to speak with journalists about the investigation it is conducting.
