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.....

Most Successful Nigerians Who Never Went To School By OlaPurpose James Asu Education is considered by many Nigerians to be the gateway to success and the passport to a better life. Debunking this myth that one cannot be successful without a formal education are these successful Nigerians who have been able to survive life’s challenges and cross the hurdle of a formal education to become who they are today.

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.

GIVE YOUR TALENT A ROOM FOR GERMINATION AND FRUITING! “I didn't have to stumble and grope stealthily in the darkness, stride recklessly on the rocky paths or swim nonchalantly in the murky waters. Neither did I gamble with the hypothetical cards, nor stroll through life at ease with no aim and subjected to all whims and caprice.” By Olajumoke Hadassah It wasn't a submission to hobby, desires and ambitions! The story of my talent is a reality settled before my existence. It was one predestined from the foundation of the world. Am I a born writer? I think so. But more importantly, I am made, and still in the making. I started writing at a young age. I was an ardent writer of 'story books.' And I finished my first 'complete' book at the age of thirteen. My writing has an history, one which began right in my home. With my Father as a writer, my first experience in the literary world was inside his 'Room-Library'. At a point I felt my ...
