Mr.Dayo Olomu
Born in Islington, North London and taken to Nigeria when he was two years old. He got an early jolt in life, when barely eight, his father died. From then life became a struggle. At 10 years old he acquired the thirst to achieve from hawking cold drinks and biscuits on the streets of Lagos to support his mother who sold all her personal belongings to send him to school.
In Nigeria he had a varied and interesting career in the entertainment industry from being a Promotions Manager to an Artiste Manager. To conquer poverty, which was his greatest fear when he was growing up, he relocated to London in January 1996 thinking that London’s roads are littered with gold and silver. When he arrived he was shocked to discover that a crook had stolen his birth certificate and used it to collect his National Insurance card, credit card, and even opened a bank account.
He also discovered he was purportedly married except the crook forgot to invite him. Everywhere he went, he was told somebody was bearing his name. At a stage the authorities did not know who the real Dayo Olomu was. With a strong desire to succeed backed with action, self belief and his faith, he overcame these obstacles and that little boy who celebrated his 10th birthday at a bus garage in Lagos whose identity was stolen when he came back to live in London is now a social entrepreneur; business improvement consultant, success strategist, corporate trainer, lifestyle business coach and a motivational speaker, a television personality, an agent of positive change and most importantly a husband and a father.
“The greatest lesson I have learnt from my experience is that to be successful you must have strong faith and a vision that drives you. You must have a strong desire to succeed and back that desire with action. You must have absolute believe in yourself, know that you have what it takes to be successful and when setbacks or tragedies occur, never, ever give up; instead see them as opportunities for growth because success thrives on adversity.” He said. He is also the author of numerous articles on the Internet, a syndicated columnist and a platinum author with http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.EzineArticles.com based in the United States. He is the best selling author of “4 Indispensable Strategies for Success”, “Dayo Olomu’s Great Quotes for Success and an audio CD, “You Got The Power” which was sent to more than 175 countries by Success University in September 2008. His latest DVD titled “How to Achieve Your Personal & Business Goals” was released in 2009. The experience he brings to people over the last 10 years has led him to the discovery that if we help people to see themselves as they can, not as they are; then the way they think, the way they feel and the way they act will eventually be altered, thereby resulting in higher performance. He addresses people and organisations each year on subject of leadership, management, motivation, success, multiple streams of income, personal and professional development, sales, team building, relationship, goal setting and achieving, strategic planning, time management, and many diverse topics. His speeches, trainings and writings are designed to motivate, captivate and persuade people and organisations to attain higher levels of achievement and peak performance. Underpinning Dayo's compelling style is a unique fusion of Nigerian and British culture, which gives his seminars a distinctive edge.
“My purpose in life is to use my creativity and enthusiasm to make a positive difference in the world, to transform lives and connect people to their destiny. My passion is to help people and businesses achieve extra ordinary result and create multiple streams of revenue. My mission is to inspire and empower people and organisations to higher levels of achievement and peak performance. My core belief is that we are all endowed with the seeds of greatness. My motto is if you want to obtain something you've never had in your life, you most be ready to do things you've never done before in your life. My brand value is to offer value for money and quality products and services with an element of fun. My fulfilment is seeing the result of my principles and strategies in clients and people that I help transform right in front of my eyes as they have choices and new strategies to help them live a more fulfilled, empowered and successful life. My Long term goal is to impact 1 billion people's lives in a positive way by 2020 and my vision is to become a leading global brand in the personal development industry and business building industry.” He said.
His present work in Africa is to help raise the level of human capital in the continent, increase the number of business leaders & entrepreneurs; develop effective communicators & public speakers; and help people to conquer fear, stop procrastinating, believe in themselves, and take action so that they can become the person they are destined to be. Dayo studied Business and Industrial Law at University of Lagos and later graduated with honours from the University of East London with a degree in Business Information Systems. He went to University of Greenwich for his post graduate studies and studied Coaching at Newcastle College.
