In 2011, after I discovered that I could live my dream life and put my footprints on the sand of history by working with
my talents, I set
out on a lonely path to success. After 3years, I
got confused,
frustrated and disorganized because despite
knowing what I had, I still wasn't moving. I needed to move forward, I
needed to storm my world. As I sat down in 2014 to ponder on it, questions that helped shaped my career and gave me motion began to flow through my mind.
These questions helped me and I strongly believe
that they can help you too.

1. What Am I Doing?

A clear understanding of this question will put
you on the right path to success. This question will bring you back to
l reality.
Not knowing what you're doing can make you leave your own path and walk in other people's paths. It's important to always ask ourselves this question regularly. What am I doing? Am I doing what I'm supposed
to be doing?

2. Why Am I Doing This?

Why are you doing what you're doing? Why are you working with your talents when you should be working in the bank, or hospital with your degree? The why, is the motive behind a task
and the motive is very
important in shaping one's career. Is it because
you think you can do
it better? or is it because that's what's in vogue?
or is it because of the lack of 'white collar jobs? or is it because you want to use
that talent of yours to impact lives? A truthful answer to this question will help point you to the right path.

3. Where am I going with this?

This question helped me, it can help you too. Every talentpreneur should have an understanding of where their talents will lead them to.
Will working with your talents lead you to the palace or the prison. Will it help you achieve your dreams and ambitions in life. What do
you intend to achieve from it? It's important we ask ourselves this
silly but important question because what's the
use of taking on a path that leads to nowhere.

4. Who am I doing this for?

It's important for every talentpreneur to know their target audience.
Which set of people can you easily relate with?
Can you easily relate with the youths, females, males, old, young, rich, poor,
educated, uneducated, sick, broken hearted, unemployed etc. We need to also know our location, our territory. We can also chose our target audience and work towards taking our talents to them.

5. What will I gain from this?

It's wisdom to engage in a profitable venture. In
fact, engaging in
an unprofitable venture can be regarded as
foolishness. Will it bring
you peace of mind, happiness, joy, rest, riches, honour, and above all, will it make you a fulfilled man or woman?

6. What will I lose for not doing this?

I've sometimes imagined not doing what I'm doing, and the picture isn't pleasant. Most people are doing what they are not gifted at and that's the cause of the lackadaisical attitudes of
some employees.

7. How can I improve on this?
Every talent needs proper development and refinement. And it's also important for talentpreneurs to get the adequate
skills that will help improve their talents and presentation to the audience.
We're not the only person doing what we're
doing, so, we must always look for ways to improve our talents and presentation.

8. How can I make a living from this?
The proper use of just a talent has the potential of turning someone into a multi millionaire. In other words, every talent can be monetized. As a talent coach, I've discovered that talent
monetization is regarded as the most difficult
aspects of
talentpreneurship, but it can be made easier if only we'd seek how to.

9. How can I take this to my audience?
This is where talent promotion comes to play. In
Africa, lack of
finance has always been the major constraint to effective talent
promotion, thus, the need for strategic talent, promotion and
marketing.

10. Who should I take along?

Every Moses needs a Aaron, every Abraham
needs a Lot and every Jesus
needs his twelve disciples. The person or people
you take along in the
pursuit of your dreams through your talents will
determine if you will
gain speed or lag behind. At the early stage of
your career, you may have to go alone, but we must understand that
we can't do it all alone thus the need to build a team that can
help us to achieve our
dreams and missions.
