Get Out There and Just Do It
It doesn't matter what economy exists: Boom or Bust, in the end it comes down to you to prosper. It doesn't matter what time-frame we live in: Modern or Old, ultimately it's your choice, to be. Everything you need, to achieve, is already in you. What makes you succeed in your goals or not, is your disposition. It's not bad to admire people, but it's horrible to not recognize yourself. There is no such thing as 'elitism' because as beings, we all have equal resources to work with, naturally. Even, a disabled person has a purpose. Even the disabled person serves a purpose.

Powerhouse
High impact inspiring. Do it and do it now. There's no later. You might not get there. No one's promised later, ever. Wind turbine energy, flowing through you. What? Too much? Humans made the wind turbine generator, so just imagine what you're capable of. I use my success to further my gains. I'm an opportunist and decide there's no other way to live. Therefore, I rock this party hard. Squeeze it for every little stride I can get. I chase opportunities like T-Cells rushing to attack mesothelioma.

Female Exploitation Illustrations: 'Seperated Unity'
"... I don't know the reason but I always feel persecuted, whenever a person disturbs my area, I feel like it's an attack on me. I learnt that word yesterday: I overheard my father pronouncing it from the dictionary, he spoke out the meaning... persecution." (She pauses ) " Here, there are many birds, but they only come out in the morning. Once it's hot, they rest in the shade. My mother says they're like people, they're lazy!" (She pauses) "In school, my teacher knows how to use her GSM like a computer: Sometimes she sends letters & then my other teacher's phone rings!"

Power Day
They can hit hard, you can hit harder. You must tell yourself that in your mind, every time, even if you don't believe it's true. What you tell yourself, the mind registers, and what you tell yourself repetitively, the mind believes. Tell yourself you're a winner, and you're on the road to winning. Tell yourself that the past's hurt didn't defeat you, and you will keep on moving. Tell yourself that the future isn't half as scary as it appears, and you'll move into it confidently.

The Hustle
You see a good website? You scroll down to the bottom. Click on the credits & see what you can get for free. I have a virtual forwarding address, full domain/web-hosting, an autoresponder and several business/creativity suites ALL FREE! Go for someone who's successful and observe them closely. Look at their photo, take cues from the details. Get a suit. Suit it up. It makes you feel less inferior when online. It doesn't matter if up you're dressed and down you're naked. Take a pic, anyway. Webcam or phone, DSLR or iPad- anything with a high resolution.

Your E-Swagger
Business is all about confidence. You have to fake it to make it. Wear the suit, look the part, learn the terminology, become the business! One hallmark of good business practices is getting trained in written business communication. These days, everything is done by emails so get a grip on unwritten rules, widely placed importance on. If you don't know an email recipient by name, address mail by 'Dear Sir/Madame'. A person you know personally can be called by the first name.

Develop Stickativity
The web is awash with opportunities. They occur on a daily basis, if you watch close enough. Opportunities provide breakthroughs and are highly valuable. Online though, too much of them can ruin your business. Scope creep is one of the biggest e-business killers and it comes silently and is often inconspicuous for the user to notice. Therefore, focus on the core big opportunities in your main domain of work and realize them. Don't focus on adjacent ones because they will only derail you while you haven't capitalized on the opportunities that can make you dream a reality.

Be A Warrior
In business, to be taken seriously, you have to take yourself seriously. It's not easy to be in the arena with heavyweight corporations and people more experienced than you. The single tactic winning firms fundamentally use, is to punch above their weight.

The Security Checklist
Keep a library of your work, digitally and on paper. It's sound operation management in e-business. Because my mind thinks fast, I write articles on paper first. It allows me to jot down ideas as I think and make then correct mistakes really quickly. My word count per minute is good and I can type without looking but nothing beats the experience of pen to paper. Label your content properly and categorize them accordingly.

The Hunt
They knock only once. At everyone's door. If you're quick enough, you catch 'em. If not, they leave you. Not everyone recognizes them. Many abhor them, thinking they're hard work with no real justification that they're gonna work out for the better for you. I recognized them. Two huge ones. I'm so addicted to hard work, I'm making a fortune for myself. My Twitter league is heavy. Nothing but big shots in my following. My self-empowerment cannot be stopped. Haters learn this, the hard way, by being stopped!

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dotun Adewunmi
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.
Michael Jordan
The more I train, the quicker I get. The quicker I get, the slower they seem. The slower they seem, the easier the game. The easier the game, the greater my threat. The greater my threat, the more attractio I draw. The more attractio I draw, the tighter they play me. The tighter they play me, the more I train.

How to get started
I'm a self-employed online publisher addressing global gender inequality. Having won a UN award for my work this year is great & an honour, however I don't aim to stop there until gender inequality is eradicated throughout the world. It is a crime against humanity! My goals mainly include exposing males to a common inherent chauvinism & helping them overcome it, as I have done for myself. Many people are ignorant about gender inequality so my biggest objective is to enlighten extensively on it through the Internet and new media, assessing the human rights abuse in different forms to appeal to a diversity of web users, starting with web comic strips & articles.
Mother Nature - A Satire On Gender Inequality has been developed out of personal interest and commitment to addressing global gender inequality. The ultimate goal is to contribute to collective efforts around the world to end this atrocity against humans. This is to be done by raising awareness about it & continuing to do so by publishing a comic strip & article on every type of gender inequality known to the human race!
