OlaPurpose James Asu




I will be sharing 15 strategies right now and the remaining 15 on twitter Saturday 11th by 11am. To be part of these series, follow @PurposeIcon.
I caught the inspiration of this piece when I was on my way to the office, it came to me when I got to Adeniran Ogunsanya in Surulere:

11. To lead successfully you must first touch people’s hearts before asking for their hands.
12. To lead successfully you must be at peace with everyone and avoid engaging in physical war or battle with anyone at all cost.
13. To lead successfully you must persevere and possess attitude of longsuffering. Understand that things won’t be sweet at all times and vice versa.
14. To lead successfully you must possess that attitude of gentleness to everyone regardless of race, tribe or tongues.
15. To lead successfully you must see leadership position as a journey and not as a destination.
16. To lead successfully you must display that quality of kindness and goodness to those you are leading.
17. To lead successfully you must brainstorm and rub minds with those you are leading. Don’t try to impose or force policies or ideas on them. Reason together. Discuss together. Grow together.
19.  To lead successfully you must be charismatic and energetic. Have the ability and energy to carry people along as long as you can and as long as you want to keep leading them. Don’t just delegate but get engage.
20. To lead successfully you must build your competency and capacity to solve problems as they arise.
21. To lead successfully you must first allow God to lead you and to keep leading you for as long as you want to keep leading other people.
22. To lead successfully you must always think creatively.
23. To lead successfully you must be purpose-driven. Nobody want to follow a leader who is purposeless, such is like a ship without a rudder.
24. To lead successfully you must be proactive and pursue productive living and ensure you make it a habit or lifestyle.
25. To lead successfully you must be selfless and not selfish.

To be Continue.....

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PUSH FOR TRUE CHANGE? Austria on December 12, 2018, made history by electing the world's youngest president, who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz. Before those elections, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youth are contented with being used, praise singers and be special assistants on social media, youth elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youth. Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. The bar has been raised in Austria, that elected a 31 year old man, as its leader. A 31 year old man in Africa, is probably in his parents house, unemployed, broke, eating free food and not bothered. The 31 year old Africans are feeling big, supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in),

WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE Nri Chinenye Audrey. It has been overwhelming, overwhelmingly exhausting. With every second of exhaustion died the dream and the promise to stay true to myself To be relevant To live and answer to my calling That voice within slowly becoming stifled as I gradually eased into the oblivion where I do not need to work my mind of creativity Where I become normal, regular And my purpose and calling to life, dead...

What is your dream? What challenges are you going through that has made you so weary to the point of forfeiting your dreams? What is that thing that is causing you great distractions? The road to achieving much in life comes with many obstacles. Sometimes you get distracted, confused, overwhelmed, weary from failing too many a time. Whil

FROM AN INSECURE HOUSEWIFE TO AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED MAKEUP ARTIST By Love Olaleye As an undergraduate in the university, I engaged in different business like buying and selling clothes, making zobo, just to earn some money to augment the pocket money that never seemed enough. None of these businesses brought me the kind of joy I experienced when I decided to pursue my passion in makeup. First I became a Mary Kay rep; I would sell and show students how to use the products they bought. The joy that beams on their faces was fulfilling, despite the frustration of running after debtors. I remember my first bride who happened to have been my friend who was kind enough to allow me experiment on her face. As I drove out early hours of the morning around 6am, my car brakes suddenly failed, I ran into a tree off the road but God saved me, no scratch, I came out and the car was badly damaged. As the car was being towed home, it was a decisive moment, I had to decide wheth
