FAIL FAST, FAIL FORWARD


15 years ago, I started a blog on Personal, Leadership and Entrepreneurship Development. These are topics that I’m passionate about, but for some reasons I couldn’t sustain the momentum. Today, I’m back!!! ... Like I never left. I’m back to pick up the pieces of my abandoned dream, dust it up, get on track and proceed on My journey to Purpose.

One thing I noticed however, is the fact that I didn’t have to struggle to get myself in the mood and in motion this time around….Why? It’s because I already have a frame of reference on this task. I have been here before. I may not be a “Pro” yet but this is not a new feat for me at all, I’m not a novice.

There’s a lesson I’m trying to draw out of the background story of my Blog writing. I could have easily viewed my inability to sustain my initial goal of Blogging as a Failed Project. However, reframing the experience helped me keep things in proper perspective.

I viewed my initial “failed attempt” as an opportunity that helped me gain the experience for smooth sailing this time around.   What project have you embarked on that didn’t turn out as expected? Yes, the project might have failed but that doesn’t make you a failure. We need to learn to detach ourselves from experiences. What invaluable lessons did you learn from those experiences and how can you leverage on them for future projects.

As we journey through life, Let us learn to keep in proper perspective, what we Label “Failure”. Failure is an essential ingredient on our journey to Success. One of the most memorable advise I got from one of my mentors is to “Fail Fast, an

ON YOUR MARKS, SET, ....... GO

Three days ago i finally succeeded in completing a task which usually takes much of my mental energy. Someone might be guessing what task could that be?.... hmmn, it is no other task at this time of the year for me other than setting goals for the next 365 days there about. Maybe i also have some witness in the house who are in a similar shoe as i am. I came across a quote by Charles Sheldon which says "Good resolutions are like babies crying in church, they should be carried out immediately". This quote got me laughing however its a statement of truth. In the course of my facilitation with entrepreneurs i realise quite a number of people don't actually set goals for their businesses and even their own personal lives and the common excuse i get is that things are not predictable in this part of the world and so its worthless setting goals. At other times people tell me they have engaged in goal setting before ....that the thing doesn't work jare. Goal setting i believ

CHANGING TIMES

Image
We are in a season characterized by CHANGE. Change like we know is the only thing that is constant about life; this however could be negative or positive. Sometimes change announces its arrival at other time it is sudden. Whichever dimension change exudes we need not get ourselves agitated unnecessarily about it but rather position ourselves to accept it and make the needed adjustment in our lives. My question now is, how much change are you prepared for in 2010? Changing times require change and it’s often a time for the discovery and release of hidden potentials. Looking through the Bible we have stories of people who got into limelight at seemingly critical moments. David’s ability to confront and conquer Goliath, Joseph became a prime minister in the time of famine, Daniel emerged as a leader in his own time. The season of change we are undergoing all around the world and specifically in our country right now, has inherent in it the ability to unleash the multi-dimension of potenti
