Make sure you're subscribed to Akempire's Newsletter for updates and industry trends.
Because of your patience I'll share with you the 2nd part of the training session for DAY 2 delivered by
Rev - Jonathan OkoroAfor
Engaging the audience with a common concern most of us face and need a mind shift.
“We can make it together.
Stop depending on the government, The government is you
And Government officials are also victims of their own masquerade.”
The Topic - “The Role of Mentorship on your Journey to stardom.”
A few life examples we all could relate with
Micheal Jackson was coached by many
Quincy Jones -
Geoffrey Daniel's,
Sire Greeks
Eric Nicksick
Francis Ngsnou's coach.
And in this case
Every punch has a coach
You may find it difficult on your Journey because you don't have a right mentor.
Whether in the Bible or in the world
God will not hear you when you do not hear your coach
A coach is somebody who is willing (not forced) to guide you, to advice you, correct you until your star starts to shine.
Where ever you find yourself you'll need a coach and when you find one God has answered your Prayers.
You don't know the way, your vision will always be greater than you.
“What it means to be star.”
What star is not and what a star is?
-> Being a star is to have a vision, discover yourself, who are you, know what is in you that the world needs…
But to be a star is not to imitate anybody, nor see your face on media as a public figure.
When you discover your purpose, you're on your way to stardom.
No star stops another from shining
If you know there's something in you write it down.
You don't beat poverty by chasing money.
You beat poverty by service
Believe in that thing you discover.
“What can you do?”
Now that you have something, now that you've discovered your purpose, the Lord will always help you.
People who have vision don't die anyhow.
When you have a vision and something to do, no body can stop you
Be the kind of star that nobody can stop.
“Know about mentorship”
A mentor is someone who's experienced and he knows something you don't know.
When you work with a mentor, you'll always pick fault.
It takes a lot of humility to work with a mentor.
The mentor is not perfect mostly in all aspects of his life.
If you're following something there must be something God wants you to learn from.
You must follow what you need and don't bypass that for what is not relevant.
Make up your mind, know what you are to be looking at.
If you really want to succeed in mentorship.
Be a right mentee.
If you don't find the right mentor then you don't know what you want already
Being a star, celebrity means your services has reached a level where you are being recognized by the world.
The work of a mentee is to work with the mentor and endure.
Stars don't pick offense. Stars express themselves
Stars cannot be used.
Service - > If you have something to give out and you're giving it out, don't say you're being used
The only way you want to become a rich person with a service, keep giving it for free.
If you keep giving out free that which you have until they become so attached to it they cannot do without it.
The target is not to become popular but it is to serve.
Let people admire your service.
All you need, you have it
And that's it for DAY 2.
Hope you're enjoying the ride.
DAY 3 has a lot to do with all what we're doing online and some key insights to leverage Social media, With tips on Branding both positive and negative branding.
