God is my strength

Fly dude…fly!

There was Gbenga, there was Jacqueline, there was Fela, there was Dapo.., Ezeh, Jide… All came and left or were taken away from me in order for me to sojourn alone on my entrepreneurship journey (and know myself a bit better). Needless to say, the journey has been a tough and arduous one with a few highs and numerous lows. Being a solo founder is certainly not what I envisaged for myself as I have always recognized the strength and benefits of a partnership; and always sought to collaborate with others to this end…all. to. no. avail.

Somehow circumstances outside of my control always leave me unwittingly and rather unwillingly needing to find my way out of the labyrinth of life…alone.

But am I truly alone?

I feel like I am being divinely guided on a journey to a well meaning but unknown destination. The thoughts I have of the future are both exciting and scary but truth be told, at times I feel like I’ve bitten more than I can chew. This is especially true now as I battle with the progress made by my 2 companies- Precre8 and Daya.

How do I navigate the possible success of both companies? Executing in one country for one business is hard enough. Executing for 11 countries for 2 businesses successfully??…that’s gonna take a miracle for this lone human. But I am not alone. Selah.

There’s so much that needs to be done but I am assured that He who has brought me this far did not do so to abandon me midway…and this is a very refreshing and invigorating thought indeed.
