The ZERO Limit Life Podcast With Oluseye Igbafe

Hello and welcome to our 65th Episode - Respect the Competition!

In this episode we will explore the importance of respecting the success of others and learning from it. Plus why it is important to avoid the temptation to disparage the achievements of our competitors, and instead embrace a mindset of respect and admiration.

It's all too easy to fall into the trap of jealousy and negativity when we see others achieving great things in our chosen field. However, it's important to remember that their success does not diminish our own potential for success. By respecting the accomplishments of others, we can learn from their strategies, mistakes, and triumphs, and apply these lessons to our own journeys.

Join us as we dive into the importance of respecting the competition, and how doing so can help us grow and achieve our own success faster.

So grab your notepad and pen and let's get started right away.

Forgive yourself. Let go of the past. Let it go!!! Be compassionate to yourself! Be kind to yourself.

While many of us are quite generous in our ability to forgive others, we are typically much harder on ourselves. 

Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others, it is actually more important in my opinion. You must forgive yourself for your own mental health and well-being. Not forgiving yourself is actually dangerous to your health and may shorten your life plus your life can be miserable because of a lack of self forgiveness.

This episode highlights the steps to take to breaking the hold of shame and guilt. How to move beyond the mistakes of the past.

Most people set up lofty and high expectations for their life, health, finances, career, relationship, business etc. Sometimes however, their reality does not correspond to their level of expectations.

This is causing a lot of people anguish and dissatisfaction with their life. Worse still, it is sapping out joy from their life.

This episode shares with you how to deal with unfulfilled life expectations and enjoy your life today while making strides to actualize your dreams.

Hello and Welcome to the 35th episode of the Zero Limit Life Podcast.

Punctuality is the soul of business. Punctuality is the hallmark of professionalism.

These two quotes are very common yet a lot of businessmen and professionals make a habit of being late. 

One of the negative effects of always being late is how it portrays you and your brand - consistent lateness portrays you as being undisciplined, irresponsible and tardy. It shows a lack of self management and raises question about your ability to effectively manage other things. It can also cause you loss on many levels, loss of opportunities, missed flights and appointments, loss of respect and so on. Some people have lost career opportunities because promoting them at the work place would be setting a bad example for others so in spite of being competent and qualified, they got passed over for the job.  There is an inexhaustive list of the negative effects of consistent lateness on our lives.

In this episode I share with you:

• The impact of lateness on yourself and your brand
• The rewards of punctuality on your mental health 
• Tips to overcoming lateness.

Tune in today and I can guarantee you will learn how to always be on time. Also share this with your friends who need to learn to improve their timing.

Likeability is one of the most essential skills we should develop.

Likeability is so important that some actually believe that your happiness and success is directly proportional to your likeability. Research has also shown that not only does likability matters but likeable people succeed more than unlikable people.

One major reason for this is that most of the opportunities come through other people, and people give opportunities to the people they like. In relationships, someone has to like you before they can love you. Anywhere in life, if people like you, they are more willing to help.

Being likable does not mean being a wimp or being a people pleaser, it doesn't mean being fake or being a follower with no opinions. 

You can be liked liked without having to sacrifice your principles, independence or uniqueness.

In this episode, I share with you:

• The importance and benefits of being liked
• Why everyone may NOT Like you.
• The most important groups of people that SHOULD like you and why
• Tips to becoming a more likable person

Likability is a powerful tool that can help you get ahead in life.

Hello and thank you for tuning to this special episode to celebrate the International Women's Day 2021. The theme for this year is "I Choose Challenge".

In this episode I choose to challenge a myth,  narrative that promotes the belief that Suffering is a normal part of womanhood or motherhood. I choose to challenge the mindset that it is okay for women to suffer. Women were not made to suffer!

I say we need to normalize women living a happy, healthy and comfortable life. There really is no virtue in suffering. I say it's time to break the cycle of unnecessary suffering by women. Dear Woman, Stop Suffering!

On the last episode, we talked about the Power of Authenticity and I mentioned that for you to live an authentic life and be true to yourself, then you need to be an Assertive person.

So What is Assertiveness?

Assertiveness is the ability to communicate your needs, feelings, opinions, and beliefs in an open and honest manner without violating the rights of others. Assertiveness is being able to stand up for yourself, making sure your opinions and feelings are considered and not letting other people always get their way.

In this episode we look at practical tips on how to become Assertive

In this episode, I talk about staying true to yourself and being authentic in a world of trends and copy and paste. We live in a society where it is more accepted to fit in than stand out. No one seems to want to be themselves but we all want to be like someone else.

Your true self is your greatest competitive advantage. No one can be you the way you can be you, so it's time to put your real self back into the game and live the life of your choice.

The first step is often the hardest one to take.

Whether it's a new year or you just want to change your life, improve yourself and live a better life. 

As this new year begins  I am sure you have lots of goals and plans you want to achieve, you have new year resolutions or plans, projects you want to start, habits you want to inculcate or get rid of as the case may be.

This episode explores the reason why people hesitate to start on their dreams, how to overcome these challenges what to do and so much more.

Enjoy and do remember to share!

The Mind is everything! What you think, you become.

What do you want to achieve in year 2021? 

At the beginning of every year, many people create New Year’s resolutions.Unfortunately, not everyone knows the difference between a resolution and a goal. Few people understand how to set goals and achieve them successfully.

If you want to succeed, and have a great year you need to set goals. Goals give you a focus and direction. 

Setting Goals allows you to take control of your life's direction; it also provides you a benchmark for determining whether you are actually succeeding. 

To accomplish your goals,  you need to know how to set them. You can't simply think your goals and expect it to happen. 

Goal setting is a process that starts with a clear and precise knowledge of what you want to achieve. and ends with identified, practical and actionable steps to take.

This episode shares with you all you need to know to set and achieve your goals for 2021.

The key to the future is in the past.

“Your personal boundaries protect the inner core of your identity and your right to choices.” 

                                                                                                                                                   – Gerard Manley Hopkins

Personal boundaries are the limits we set for ourselves as individuals in relationships. Setting and enforcing boundaries is a skill that many of us don’t have. Having boundaries means honoring ourselves as a separate individual with needs and wants that often differ from others. Without healthy boundaries, we end up allowing others to override our own feelings and desires. 

While setting boundaries are can be tough, they are really important for maintaining healthy relationships. Boundaries are essential in all relationships – with our spouse, parents, children, friends, boss, and so on. Without boundaries, we may feel suffocated, unable to express our true feelings and needs. Boundaries protect us from being mistreated or taken advantage of because they communicate our needs and expectations.

This episode delves into the why and how to set healthy boundaries with the people in our lives where necessary.
