The Journey - GENESIS!

Happy new year!

Well...maybe the year just started for some of us in February. Lol!

Sometimes, life like bees hide you in its 'hive' to hibernate, multiply and bounce back alive at a hit or touch! That's seem to be my scenario and yes, the struggle and hustle were REAL but hey!!! I have missed you guys super much and honestly vow this time too stay in touch and committed.

A big thank you for all who chatted, sent emails and reached out to me in my months of 'hibernation' lol! (that meant so much and much appreciated).

Been off blogging for a while but certainly not thinking and I have been doing a lot of it recently and around the great issues affecting us as Nigerians especially at these  times we are in presently. 

I have also come to terms with the most recent popular word in Nigeria today - ENTREPRENEUR(SHIP).
A  lot though happened in these past months that widened my view or perspective on things from becoming an entrepreneur to the journey of self discovery and more importantly self validation (this is the most scary part) the part you ask yourself, "why am I doing this?" to "ok! do I see myself doing this in the next 5 years for a start?" Then you get to the point of trying to convince your loved ones and people around you on why you quit a job to take up the scary but exciting task (I just found out the exciting aspect) of being an entrepreneur!
In my case, for obvious reasons, I hear people say things like "you don't look like someone who would go down the entrepreneurship path" and I'm like...shoo...then what path o? Then they  say, "you look like a career person".

Some others say in admiration, "you are lucky, you have MORE time for YOURSELF." And I look at myself and wonder if I actually have more time or say at the early stages if I even had time at all...(I'm sure someone can relate with this thought and expression)

True! Great businesses are built to give its owners freedom to live.
But I sort of question what we as Nigerians refer to as time and entrepreneurship these days (another days topic!)
I look and I'm like really, "what is the true meaning of entrepreneurship?" To me, a career is a life long journey you choose to go through. So also is entrepreneurship! (this definition is relative). So rightly speaking, my career life is centered around how much value I add, how much solution I have been able to provide through my products and services, how many lives I have been able to reach and influence as well as how much joy and fulfillment I get from doing what I do. That, to me is a fulfilling CAREER which is certainly NOT short term or part time but a life long journey and style!

So in a nutshell, I have being busy doing the work of the father - co creating with him and following his command to dominate and subdue!
Still much of a beginner in this journey but my posts this year would be much centered around entrepreneurship, human capital development, education(education not schooling)and generally how we can live an purposeful life doing God's will.

So, let's tag this one, the start of a journey to the entrepreneurial world...lol! I look forward too sharing  some of my nightmares and exciting  moments in this journey with you and I hope you get inspired and educated and we all lean & learn & support one another on this 'unending' road trip to self - discovery!

Let's make this year an value adding and purposeful one. Don't forget to share a comment and intentionally add value to someone today!
