CRYSTAL ICE DANCE ACADEMY (KICKING OFF 2011)

TURN YOUR RESOLUTIONS INTO REALITY

So here we are the beginning of a new year, and if you are looking to make history rather than repeat it, if you want to make this the best year of your life, then follow these easy steps

Step I: See: See the situation/issue/habit/behavior as it currently is-Describe it, Define it, Analyze it.

Step II: Think: Think about what you want instead of the current situation or how you want to change an issue/habit/behavior. What would the new situation/issue/habit/behavior look like? Who is involved in the situation/issue/habit/behavior? Who needs to be involved to create the change? Who will benefit from the change? How will I convince those involved to go along with the change?

Step III. Plan. What steps do I need to take to achieve the change? Research the various aspects of your plan. Check for feasibility, viability and possibility. Set a 'by when' date. 'By when' will I act on my plan?

Step IV: Act. Implement the first step of your plan. When you have acted on the first step of your plan, you have now arrived at Step I again.

Step I: See: What is the current situation/issue/habit/behavior after taking the first step? Has the action I took in Step VI created the change I wanted? Am I happy with the result? If the answer is 'Yes,' continue to follow the plan created in Step VI one step at a time. If the answer is No, proceed to Step II.

Step II: Think: What didn't work? What do I need to change to get the result I want? Who do I need to talk with to help me? Continue to analyze the current situation/issuehabit/behavior until you have thoroughly analyzed the outcome of your initial action. Proceed to Step III

Step III: Plan: What changes are required? Who needs to be involved? When all aspects have been analyzed, Proceed to Step IV again.

Step IV: Act: Once you have carried out one aspect of your plan you are back to Step I.

Goal achievement is that simple. When people do not reach their goals it is not because the goal was a 'bad' goal it is because people do not have an effective Plan to achieve the goal or they fail to act on their plan and/or analyze each aspect of the plan as the plan unfolds to determine if the plan is achieving what they intended to achieve. 

When you know that what you're doing is right, nothing will be able to stop 

you. When you are absolutely convinced of the true value of your efforts,
you'll have the courage and the persistence to see them through.
To believe in what you're doing is not just important. It is everything.

Anything less cannot possibly succeed. For any accomplishments you reach
while living a lie will ultimately be of no value.

It is not always easy to live true to your highest values, true to your 

authentic self, true to what you know is right.

BIO ON WIZ
Ayodeji Balogun a.k.a Wizkid kicked off his singing career as early as 11 when he recorded his first song with one of Nigeria’s celebrated music icons, OJB Jezreel. He went on to record a 7-track album, which he released in his church in Lagos, under the name of Lil’ Prinz; this was just a stint that earned him a remarkable deal of encouragement and recognition from family, his church and other artistes.

Years later in 2006, with a new name, which he picked up from a very funny incident, Wizkid got into the studio to record again; this time with HMan (OJB’s younger brother) and Ugly on a song titled ‘Naija Boy’, produced by OJB Jezreel. From that time, he continued to hone his singing skills with influences from OJB Jezreel, Ruffman, Naeto C, Ikechukwu and many others. By 2008, he had developed a unique reggae style and had worked with some of the finest artistes in Nigeria such as Sound Sultan, Ruffman, Nyore, Durella, Kel, TBase etc.

The 20 year old’s collaboration with M.I on “Fast Money, Fast Cars” on the Talk About It album, drew a lot of attention to his distinct voice and singing style. He also voiced the seasonal Barcelos radio jingle which was released in December 2008.

In 2009, Wizkid got signed to Banky W’s label, Empire Mates Entertainment and has since then go on to perform and record with Banky W, who is one of Nigeria’s most sought artistes. Wizkid has collaborated with other artistes such as Kel, Dipp, Eva and Teeto, to name a few.

Wizkid is currently studying International Relations at the Lagos State University. Driven by his passion for music and life’s experiences, Wizkid’s currently putting final touches to his new material!!! :)
