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
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 am 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 walking 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
talents 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.
SUCCEED YOU MUST.

Kinginvahala; where have you been?

Most people just find themselves in a certain Careerie path and in the long run, they ask the question 'How did I get here? '

Thanks.

Yes indeed, succeed I must.

Do Nigerians still follow career? To a Nigerian any work that pays the bill is a career.

You are on point OP..its not easy following ones dream, especially in this kind of society where everyone depends on white collar jobs! You don't do it..they term you as bin lazy, they kill your passion for your dream..Dont give up on you dream..If you want something go get it..#nothingcomeseasy#

God helping us not to derail.

Cool.

Thanks for the info..

the part of asking questions and being curious is seen by many as irritating to them. I have come to realise that only few people want u to succeed fast when u join a new establishment, they all hoard their knowledge not wanting to share it and always trying to frustrate one to give up.

Even our so called mentors, the idea of I suffered to get here so u too must suffer.. How do one go about this?

Eye opener.......never compromise your dreams!!!!!!

Great post, it's like finding your purpose

I agree that while this might be true, it does not apply to all organizations or mentors as the case maybe.
Your narration is a clear case of an organization with the wrong values and the wrong mentor as you mentioned.

Where I work, upon resumption, you are assigned to somebody who would train you for a week. After one week then you are on your own but with support from your trainer for another week.
The trainer is actually also appraised based on how he performed while training you.

HR of every organization must develop a process to curtail such irresponsiveness and hostility from staff to a new employee.

As per mentor, look deeper, you will find a great and selfless mentor. If one mentor is not what you need, discard and embrace someone else. You own your life and you are the architect of it so do what's best for you always.

What d difference btw skills and talent? Nd also can a skill lead to talent?........

What d difference btw skills and talent? Nd also can a skill lead to talent?........

skill is acquired through training such as apprenticeship or understudying someone in that line of work and is developed further through constant practical application of what you learnt while talent is what comes to you naturally, you are gifted for it, you find it easy to do more than people around you, but you can acquire skill in your talent area through training, a skill cannot lead to talent unless it was already in you before your training.but you can be skillful in you talent, its difficult to succeed in an area you are not talented in no matter your training,

This is reasonable.
