HIP HIP HIP……. HURRAYYYYY. I’m soooo happy today owing to the fact that I added another year. It was on the 18th day of September 8,760 days ago. The cry of a baby boy was heard in the family of Chief and Mrs Nwangene, and as a result of that, today marks my 24th BIRTHDAY. I also registered my domain- Top Blogging Coach on the 18th January 2012, although i didn’t start using it immediately until March. Therefore my domain is also 9 months today.
However, I can’t believe how the days are running soooo fast these days, within a twinkle of an eye, a lot can happen. I still remember vividly when I was small, it use to be very fun then but today, I’m becoming a man. But that’s why they said that change is constant and as the people are growing, the world is changing. All glory is to God.
These past years has saw me through a lot of challenges and I’m happy because I’ve also learn a lot. I’ve learnt so many things and also met so many wonderful people along the way. I’ve met some people that I can’t forget because in one way or the other, they contributed to my growth and whatever I am today, my story cannot be complete without mentioning their names.
People like Pat Flynn, Yaro Starak, Mat Wolfe, Sunil, Michael Dunlop, Ana Hoffman, Michael Chibuzor, Steve Watson and Andrew Rondeau just to mention only a few. I owe these individuals a lot because they contributed immensely to whatever I know today in the Internet Marketing and Blogging world, I don’t know what I could have done without them and I want to use this medium to thank them in a very special way, you all are indeed awesome. I just hope they will see this post.
I have also learnt too many things about business and life. And when it comes to this, I owe all the thanks to Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hills, Ben Carson and of cause my formal boss Late Chief Patrick Maduka, may his soul rest in peace. In life we all need a mentor at one point or another. If you want to achieve anything, look for someone that has done that successfully before and learn from them and don’t be afraid of failing because it doesn’t make a failure, it only means that you’ve not succeeded yet and you have to shoot again.
If you search the business world looking for successful entrepreneurs, I assure you one thing. No successful person will allow any small hurdles or roadblocks to get in their way of fulfilling their dreams of success. If you’re REALLY SERIOUS about finally making money both online and offline, then you can’t let the “little things” get in your way. You can’t let any hurdles in your path prevent you from moving forward! Sometimes the most prudent thing to do is to take action even when you do not have all the facts…! Just getting started is your best course of action. Pick a target and shoot! If you miss the target, you move on and shoot again until target is covered.
I guarantee you one thing: doing nothing will get you one thing: NOTHING. Taking action toward what you want will always bring success … even if you start wrong, it’s better than sitting still. As you move toward something, you create ‘course corrections’, refine your strategy, and learn from your mistakes but YOU KEEP ON MOVING. Each and every day online, you’re going to come up against another obstacle.
It may be small – it may be big. Everyone in business has obstacles to overcome. I personally face obstacles online EVERYDAY! That’s just the way business is… the road isn’t always smooth or easy. There will always be some distractions as well. Those that succeed in business don’t allow anything to hinder them from moving forward toward their dreams. Each day you’ll gain more and more momentum and those daily obstacles ultimately become easier and easier to overcome. Why? Not because it actually gets any easier…. It just becomes a part of your everyday business plan.
Successful people are always on a mission and they let nothing stop them from completing their mission. If they’re unsure about how to do something that needs to be done, they LEARN HOW to do it…If they’re unsure about how to use a program essential to running their business, they study and learn it until they do know how…
At times, they may even hire someone to do certain tasks that they feel they need specific help with, but they continually educate themselves and use all the available resources in their arsenal to overcome anything that tries to hinder them from their focused path – a path that ultimately leads to success! My point is this, if you aren’t really, really committed to succeeding – if you’re going to allow a few small hurdles or any necessary “learning curves” in business stop you from taking a new direction in life, a brighter, wealthier future, then to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know if this article will help you.
Succeeding in your own business will be the hardest yet most rewarding task you’ll ever endure in your lifetime. It needs to be taken very seriously! It will make you think and think again! And when you’re done thinking, it’s time to brainstorm. Then, guess what… time to think again! If you’re the type of person who isn’t willing to take a bit of responsibility for yourself and learn some new skills that may be outside of your “comfort zone”, or you’re not willing to accept some failures and learn from them and move forward toward your ultimate goal, then I probably can’t help you. (And I say that with “mucho” respect for you and truly do wish you all the luck and success in any ventures you choose to pursue in life).
But if you are really committed to succeeding and you are willing to take charge and learn some new skills to develop and strengthen your business then I congratulate you!
Finally, I want you to know that the moment you start taking consequences of your failures and stop blaming others, things will transform for you for the better. Beware of the type of people you keep around you because they will determine your future, thanks.

Hi Nwangene,
Happy birthday! This is my first time on your blog.
Thank you very much for giving us ebooks that will be helpful in our journey in blogging. For a website that is less than a year, it does not look like a newbie’s blog. The people you mentioned are also my favorites when it comes to acquiring useful knowledge in internet marketing and blogging, especially Ana Hoffman and Andrew Rondeau.
Nwangene Theodore says
You are highly welcome to my blog Felicia,
I’m happy you like the ebooks. Yea both people are really good in what they are doing. Thanks for the complements and do let me know how you feel about the books.
Thanks for coming, hoping to see you again.
Tim Bonner says
Hi Theodore
A belated Happy Birthday to you.
The most recent life lessons I’ve had relate to having children.
Who would have thought I could look after 2 of them.
My wife and I even went on a course to learn how to look after a baby before we had our first child.
To be honest it was a complete waste of time and money as it’s very much a learning on the job kind of thing!
I hope you had a great birthday Theodore!
Tim
Nwangene Theodore says
That’s very interesting Tim,
I’ve never heard of someone that went for such lesson before. So how was it like? Yea, my birthday was really lively and fun, i thank God for everything. I only wished you guys were here to celebrate with me. So how is your wife and kids?
Thanks for visiting.
Michael Chibuzor says
Happy Birthday to you Theodore. And Thanks for the mention – I’m so grateful to God for your life and I know that your tomorrow will be better than your today. God bless your remaining day.
Nwangene Theodore says
Thanks Michael, yea you deserve the mention. I also wish you more.
HP van Duuren says
