This 2 Day course titled ‘Identify your passion’ with Segun Akande can help you.

Segun Akande is a foremost sales executive, coach, trainer and writer. He would like to share with you his own journey to self discovery and fulfillment. Also, to help you identify your passion and teach how to walk in it.

I had a brief interview with him where he shed more light on the Two Day Course and its relevance.

Esther/BG:

What is the course really about? What kind of people are you trying to reach?

Segun Akande:

This course is good for people of all ages. Let’s look at the three types of ages:

The course is essential for late teens (18-25) who want to have a clear direction of who they are and where they are going in life. It’s better to know early and be focused rather than find out later.

The course is good for persons in their late twenties to mid thirties who are bit confused about what they are doing and want a clear direction of who they are and where they are going.

Also, it is especially good for those in their forties. You know how they say your ‘forties is the decade where it’s your last chance at getting it right’.

I have discovered that many people who have been working in corporate institutions seem to be far from happy in their day to day work. Yes, they are making money but they rely so much on that institution to the extent that their identity is actually linked to that institution. They have no identity of their own. They don’t really know who they are.

The three aims of this course are:

1. To help you identify your passion and purpose. They are much linked. I have a formula for it. It would come out of you, I don’t tell you.

2. To help you identify how to monetize your passion. At the end of the day, you’ll have needs that ought to be met. So I show you how to make money from your passion.

3. To help you to sell. No matter what you do, you’ve got to be able to sell.

Most importantly, I hope to help you understand that God cherishes you, he is on your side and wants you to succeed.

There are too many people who are so focused on their past mistakes and failures that they believe they have no right to succeed. One of the biggest obstacles of success is to believe that God is not on your side.

There are so many talented people out there who because of their past failings and mistakes , believe they have no right to succeed (just like i used to).

Yet, there are so many examples of successful people who had serious difficulties in their early lives but somehow kept going, never gave up, believed in themselves and succeeded.

The only person that can stop your passion from being fulfilled is yourself, how you see yourself and what you believe about yourself. Unfortunately, what many people believe about themselves are the negative thoughts they get from day to day.

Half the thoughts in our minds are negative thoughts because we keep remembering our past mistakes. Its either the mind remind us or people remind us.

We need to focus on how much we are cherished by God and how skillful we are as a person.

Everybody is walking the lines of who they are. Be true to yourself.
