SHOW UP AND TAKE ACTION!!!




Immediately after my National Youth Service, as a young graduate still seeking relevance, a friend added me to a group "Valuex" Valuex is a platform where information is exchanged through lecture delivery and quality content sharing.

So, I started delivering lecture on this platform and there was a time, we were to choose from a wide range of topics. I couldn't choose from any topic and there was this topic, which people fail to pick. "Thriving as a start up" with little or no knowledge about entrepreneurship. I took the topic, using the knowledge I garnered from the Young African Leadership Initiative online courses and my experience as an associate of the chartered institute of customers relationship management.

I delivered a top notch lecture and I got an invitation to speak at the Federal School of Statistics, Ibadan on the same topic.

Lessons: Show up and take action. Somehow, someone is watching somewhere.

Show up!
Learn!
Prepare! Opportunities meet preparedness!
Create relevant content and seek relevance!

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 w...

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 ...
