WHAT DOES PURPOSE MEAN TO YOU? DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE FULFILLING PURPOSE?
Purpose, to me, is living a life that adds value, solves real problems, and aligns with God’s assignment for your life. It’s not just about making money, it’s about impact.
Yes, I strongly believe I’m fulfilling my purpose, by raising financially empowered youths and young adults, promoting sexual purity, and creating platforms that help people become self-reliant.
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO DO ALL YOU DO?
I’m motivated by the pain of seeing brilliant people stuck because they lack the right skills, information, or opportunities.
I’m also driven by my faith and my desire to help people live disciplined, purposeful, and financially stable lives.
Every testimony from someone who earns through my platform or gains clarity through my teachings or content fuels me to do more.
IN YOUR JOURNEY OF BECOMING, WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU ENCOUNTER, AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM?
I faced misunderstanding, criticism, slow growth, limited capital, low support at the early stage, and skepticism from people who didn’t understand my vision.
I overcame them through consistency, continuous learning, prayer, mentorship, and refusing to quit when results were slow.
I also learned to start small, test ideas, and scale gradually, block out noise and focus on my assignment.
HOW CAN ONE MOVE FROM SHADOW TO SPOTLIGHT?
First, get clarity about your purpose. Then, develop a skill that solves real problems. Build value before seeking visibility. Serve people with excellence, and document your journey.
Most importantly, don’t wait for permission, start small, stay consistent and let your results speak for you. When you solve problems well, spotlight naturally finds you. Be a man or woman of substance. Exposure without substance fades fast.
WHAT SKILLS DO YOU RECOMMEND YOUNG PEOPLE TO LEARN?
I recommend:
Digital skills
Tech and telecom skills
Sales and marketing
Communication and public speaking
Copywriting and social media management
Financial literacy and entrepreneurship
Relationship and emotional intelligence
Personal branding
And lots more…
These skills make you relevant in today’s economy and open doors to employment, freelancing, and business ownership.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OUR READERS?
Don’t wait for perfect conditions to start. Start with what you have and from where you are. Invest in skills, before your looks or lifestyle. Stay disciplined. Be deliberate about your growth. Trust your process. Your background doesn’t define your future, your daily actions do.
