So here in my office is seated the beautiful woman I was telling you guys about last week. Don’t get it twisted, she’s only a friend now; she’s seriously engaged to be married by another man, *awww* but very happy for her.
I remember promising to tell you guys about how I fell in love with my best friend’s ex-girlfriend but am too tired to type write now; I will find time to write and publish by Wednesday or even before then.
I just want to encourage you with a word I shared with those who attended Young VIPs Congress yesterday at Iloye community. “Your name will never be remembered until it means a solution to someone’s problem.” Many people are begging for significance when they can actually create the status of their lives. You can do a quick assessment of your life and status, where you are now is the status you have created for yourself and where you will end up will be as a result of the status you create for yourself.
If I mention Don Jazzy what comes to your mind? Music production!
If I mention TM Lewin what comes to your mind? Shirt making!
If I mention Sam Adeyemi what comes to your mind? Success or Daystar!
If I mention Aliko Dangote what comes to your mind? Entrepreneurship!
If I mention Alibaba what comes to your mind? Comedy!
If I mention Linda Ikeji what comes to your mind? Blogging!
Do you know why you remember their names? Because they have ensured their name or brand is a solution to the problems of people. Sam Adeyemi is solving poverty problem, Linda Ikeji is solving information problem, Alibaba is solving ‘sadness’ problem, TM Lewin is solving ‘naked’ problem, Don Jazzy is solving boredom problem. If I mention your own name what comes to people’s mind? You must deliberately create your own status in life by identifying a problem you want to solve for people, develop the required skills to solve it and START OUT to solving those problems with the members of your family, street, community, local government, state, country, continent and even the world.
You can be a VIP (Very Important Person) in life if you have a VIP (Very Important Purpose).
N.B: This write-up is an excerpt from one of my books titled, VIP: Very Important Purpose. You can book for your own copy in advance.
