Listen carefully, I want to tell you something very important that can change the way you live your future life.
In the days of Nokia, I used this Nokia C1-1 for about 5 years. I never wanted any other phone cos I so loved this phone.
Then, things began to change so fast, Blackberry came and gone, then Samsung Galaxy. I resisted them all.
I never liked any phone that had no button but a large screen. What if something happens to the screen?
But then, I fell in love with this other phone, Nokia E7. A powerful gadget that matched my love for the computer keyboard.
And, just what I feared eventually happened. The screen or flex went bad and that was the end of it.
I was left with no option but to go for a smartphone. A buttonless phone.
Hold on, this post is not about me or phones.
Do you remember the YouWin program?
Great! You must have heard about it.
Before the YouWin, I would draft something that looked like a Quotation with a mixture of motivational quotes and take it to my mentor who asked for my Business Plan.
He'd laugh out loud and ask me to try again. I tried it several times but still couldn't write a complete Business Plan.
Then, came this YouWin 10 million Naira grant. And I went mad for it. I went all out like it was impossible not to get it, and I got it.
The CAC I never had, I got it that year.
The Business Plan I never knew how to write, I went to the CBN South-South Entrepreneurship Development Centre and learned how to develop a professional Business Plan, and till today, I have that knowledge.
All the things I thought were difficult to get suddenly became easy. Why, because I changed my mindset from lack to abundance, and from impossible to possible.
I embraced the excitement of success and failure died a natural death.
Now, this is the message I want you to take home today. Listen, you cannot resist change. You either embrace it or be left behind.
10 years ago, you started a small business without a business name CAC, without TIN (Tax Identification Number), and without a Business Plan.
But, every year government empowerment comes and go and you keep allowing the excuses of not having those document to stop you from your breakthrough.
What is wrong with you?
Wake up and shake it off.
Go get your business documents for f*ck sake.
DO NOT RESIST CHANGE.
Embrace technology. Embrace AI. Embrace the new ways of doing things otherwise you'll be left faaar behind.
Go and sin no more.
May God bless this sermon in the name of the father...
