Apply your Knowledge.

Yesterday, on my way home I listened to the radio, and the presenter goes " Your smartphone is a Window to the World"  (I live in Nigeria) she goes on that all we do with our gadgets are the usual chatting and social media, I ponder, true, but what else can we do?, she recommended free online courses, hmm, I tried one of those, internet was so slow that I missed the course .

I have downloaded apps to learn programming, practiced presentation slides on my Tablet, Inikpi my last daughter (8)  has a child she is raising  on her notepad, Fade reads  books ( we do not have libraries in our neighborhood) My SMART PHONE has become a gadget I can not do without , I know i have not discovered the mysteries of my toy.

I am like a kid, curious about every turn, I have a hunger to put these gadgets to use.
It took me a while learning how to swipe on my Tablet, but with practice I got better.

I can apply this experience with "living life", trends and gadgets will change, the way we do things change constantly, we trip, fall,jump and we try to keep moving. Not always do we enjoy learning new experiences, and look stupid while trying to apply excel formulae and using Dashboards, pretending to loook intelligent, loads of job blogs give you crap on how to ace the interview, how to talk, how to walk, from my experience, be yourself,then you are employed as your real self, you are more productive.

I am writing this for my daughters (Reminding myself).
Action Plan:

Apply the knowledge and experience you have gathered and start your own business.
ensure you learn one new thing a day, this is adequate enough for you, never look down on the part time jobs, wear anything that makes you comfortable, continue to day dream and visualize the end product. Avoid every negative person, never discuss your ideas with people you want to earn their respect,you will not get that respect, and you will feel inadequate.

Every experience makes you unique, I am your mum, however we may not have the same ideals, it does not matter. If i can differ from you, you do not need to be like any other. Always love yourself, it will carry you further.

Life is worth living happy.

love story to Inikpi

Yesterday, we went to an Ibadan version of a French Paris cafe,  outdoors, trees,  young students making noise,  we were eating chips and barbecued chicken wings, Ali and I were drinking beer, you were sipping and said to me "mum,  tell me more about my birth story" I smiled at you, lifted my head up from my candy crush saga game, Ali smiled, he looked at me and we smiled at each other,  in that look a million words had been said between us. You are a prize my darling Inikpi Araoluwa. You are the first thing I ever fought for.  (I guess you would be šŸ˜•   puzzled)  Inikpi, you were so quiet in my tummy, I was afraid you will be stillborn.  I stressed your dad so frequently to the emergency ward,  the poor chap had turned into a staff member at the general hospital.  You were quiet for another 7.5 years. Clingy, unsure, cautious, you walked late, you spoke late,  I had to leave you with strangers so I could go to work,  your...

How not to kill a successful Team.

Image
On my way to Work one morning, listening to an audio book, a statement pops at me "Success is achieving Set goals" Pondering on this, I realise teams are destroyed because we do not know how to manage success of teams when we achieve set goals.   A team is considered successful when set targets are met. A team would have gone through this cycle to become a performing team. Going back to the story, you know I am a salesperson, so I am constantly ploughing resources into Self-Motivation, being a Team Lead can be draining as you have to constantly motivate your team. I had learnt from a previous job that you can lead effectively by having; Experiential Knowledge: In my opinion, I believe the best leaders are created from the team, Management has expectations, the Team also has expectations, the ability of a person to balance the expectations of both parties increases productivity. A great example is recently my sales team expanded. From my experience I have learnt tha...
