Your competition isn't other people!

Let's agree on one thing - we are different.

We think differently, learn differently, experience life differently. For that reason alone, do yourself a favour. Don't compare your career journey with someone else's.

➡They may have started their journey earlier than you and will have figured out the things you're struggling with now.

➡They may know more than you because they spent the last months investing in their career growth and development.

➡They may have access to resources you don't know about.

Instead, compare yourself with who you were yesterday, last week, last month, last year. That way, you can track and celebrate your actual progress against the career goals you set for yourself.

Do you agree? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Just Touch!🙌

Do you agree this is TODAY'S REALITY?

Bob Moorehead says this:

“We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness.

"We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

"We’ve built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communications; we have become long on quantity, but short on quality.

"These times are times of fast foods but slow digestion; tall man but short character; steep profits but shallow relationships."

Thought-provoking.

In my humble opinion Flutterwave’s closest peer is Cellulant. Some would probably say that Cellulant’s metrics are superior to Flutterwave’s.

Below is Cellulant’s impressive traction (a term that VCs love. Sometimes more than actual topline numbers! 😅)

I’m waiting to get my hands on Tingo Inc.’s fundamentals to see how they (or their investors) justify a $6.3 billion valuation.

As for Cellulant, your guess is as good as mine as to why it’s not a yet.

Would love to get some thoughts on this.

SOME HARD FACTS ABOUT THE WORKPLACE.

1. Your boss is not your friend. Regardless of how close you both are, learn to set PROFESSIONAL boundaries.

2. Walls have ears. Be careful who you confide in at work. A listening ear could also be a flippant mouth.

3. Your employer is now concerned about RESULTS. How you get the JOB done is up to you. No excuses.

4. There is always that one person/ group of persons feeding the boss with happenings in the office. Some employees brief go beyond the official JDs ( except in work cultures where such act is expressly frowned upon). Be guided.

5. When you get withdrawn from PROJECTS or someone is asked to understudy you or you get demoted without cogent reason(s), that may be a cue you'd soon be shown the exit door.

6. As much as you can, keep your private life away from COLLEAGUES. You might be under INVESTIGATION for achieving some personal great feat without you even knowing.

7. Somebody your colleagues may not even like you, it could be the way you LOOK, DRESS, SPEAK, your capabilities, accomplishments at work, your aura or for some weird reasons and that is fine. Everybody cannot like you, so accept that.

8. Pay attention to body language, tone, pitch and pace of voice from your team members, colleagues or your boss. They may provide important cues to what isn't expressly said. Studies have shown that emotions,likes and dislikes are communicated via 38% para- verbal and 55% non verbal. Only 7% are communicated via verbal communication.

9. There will always be that " exceptional colleague" who gets the job done, gets the recognition and praises. Don't let that feeling of DISDAIN or inadequacy set in. See what that person is doing differently, how they do it and learn. You'll become a better person. Be open to LEARNING.

10. While the workplace should foster POSITIVE VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS, your primary aim is to get the job done and go home. Don't forget that

There is this series in Netflix: dreams, ambitions and how they get drained by greed,backstabbing, jealousy and toxicity.

How best minds are pushed aside and eventually fired because their ambition or excellence threaten and tickles the ego of those in power.

Edi Gathegi plays Ronald Dacey comes out as one of a man with one of then most effective pitch skills but greed , power and insecurity gets into Nick' s head and he sets him up with feds.

This is a corporate world , with suspense and beautiful story by Ben Ketai .

Watch it if you can.

Kenya is one of the countries which commands the biggest number of funds being raised by Startups in Africa in 2021 sitting at number 4 giving a clear picture on where the next client, employers, partnership will come from , commercial bank the next client base is Startups.

What should you do when you have two or more very promising job offers?

Answer the questions below:

1. The type of company hiring – are their values in line with yours? Is the company goals aligned to your own personal goal?

2. What is the salary package? – Based on your expenditure, is the company in a position to meet your financial needs?

3. Opportunity for career advancement – Is there room for growth in the company or will you remain stagnated for years?

4. Company culture – How does the company work? Do they believe in teamwork, what kind of reporting structure do they have?

5. Location – Where is the company based? Will I have to relocate or work in a hardship area?

Once you evaluate the above things, making an informed decision should not be hard.

Aim at nothing you'll definitely hit nothing ✅

What are you aiming at this year ...

Be careful where you expend your energy.

There are some battles you don’t fight, some statements you don’t respond to, some people you ignore, some walls you walk around, and some mountains you speak to — but never, ever give your personal power away to the presence to a perceived enemy.

When an enemy appears don’t be distracted! Look for an open door🚪 and walk through it!

Good Morning ☀️

Always remember that you are a great asset to your employer irrespective of the position you are in.

Your value is not determined by the position you hold but by the effort you put forward to deliberately make a difference in every task with which you are entrusted.

Do not wait to be at the top to make a difference,you can make a difference at whatever level you are.

Anytime you are given more responsibilities know that

you are trusted and deliver to the expected standards without doubting yourself.

Value yourself fast by learning that you are a great contributor to the success of the company.

It takes more than just seeds to make something grow 😊 but opportunity often exists even when things look the darkest.
