 Welcome back. This is still wine the morning and we are on youth and career today We're talking about demystifying success. So what it's what is success and what? success isn't and of course we'll be talking about the seven piece of success as Authored by our guest here. Jammalik Hogi will be getting into the details of this. So welcome Jammalik. Thank you Tell us basically who you are because I know there's many titles that you hold Thank you for having me Stephanie. My name is Jammalik aka MC Kogi. I am a corporate speaker Author and marketing consultant. All right. Yes So we want to talk about success demystifying success and we were talking with my colleague earlier on and he was saying Success is basically the little things that you do and some people perceive that success is for Betroth and few. So what is success really? Well, according to me Success is a journey. You never really reach there or arrive and one of my favorite quotes to do with success is success is about Making progress every hour every day and every year And I agree with your colleague who you are speaking with that it's about the small things making the small strides Towards the ultimate goal that you have in life So it's the small things but you have an ultimate goal that you want to achieve in life So success is it's not for certain people when you're trying to say Well more careful to say yeah, you know some people perceive that they can't be successful in life And to them success is only for when you are rich and you may be famous or you have you have it all together Well, we have different destinies and parts So success may mean different to different things to different people like if you are a scholar Maybe you could look at the day you achieve your PhD. Perhaps that is the highest you could go That could be success to you if you are an entrepreneur The day maybe you reach a turnover of let's say a million a month. Maybe that could be success to you It's one and so forth so it differs from one person to another depending with the goals they have in life And how would you describe our successful career now that we are talking about career? Well First it will come with them fulfillment when you are growing up, you know, of course when you are growing up many people used to say You know the generic Aspirations you want to become a doctor you want to become a lawyer you want to become an engineer of that has changed with time People are now more exposed. So a successful to be successful in career is really To achieve that you aspire when you are young and it has to be in line with your strengths According to me When you really go for it and achieve it at the end of the day then you will have Reached the ultimate of your career the ultimate goal. Yes. All right, so let's go into the tools of success or maybe we can call it the seven piece of success Can we delete them to tools of success? So how do you like to describe it? Well? The mystifying success I Simplified it into a book which is the X matrix that highlights the seven piece of success and these seven piece include Papas the second piece Plan the third piece pursue the fourth piece persistence The fifth P is positive attitude the sixth piece passion and the seventh P is people people Yes, and on the you know the first page the cover You've said good intentions will be recognized. How do I could be praised but only Results will be rewarded Expound when this Well, that is one of the P's actually which should be Pursue. Okay in project management. We talk of JDI. Just do it so We make like if I may put this in the context of business people where you have our Entrepreneur somebody who wishes and keeps saying that one day I'll begin my venture begin my business We move from that to become an entrepreneur where now instead of talking one day We now move to day one and start executing it. That's where now the quote was inspired where That idea of aspiring To like have a business a good intentions. Those are good intentions. They'll be recognized. Okay hard work, you know Putting together strategies Hard work will be praised but only results will be rewarded at the end of the day Like you asked earlier What how will you consider yourself successful in your career? It's when you actually reach there so to speak it's when you actually Arrive there so to speak although you never entirely arrived there But making that progress and getting results. I may add this and talk of There's actually a difference between doing something and getting something done Okay, tell us about that a difference between doing something. Yes, I'm getting something done. Yes For instance, we are getting something done Stephanie right here. We are empowering Kenyans in this conversation They are they they are learning a thing or two. So doing something you can be in a vehicle. Let's say I'm a tattoo From Karen maybe to to town or in a new by that case because what we're carrying Yes, and you grab the paper of the driver and you are perusing it you are doing something You're just perusing the paper But someone else from Karen again to town is holding the paper in another uber But it's all just perusing the papers. They are reading the headline and noticing There's a new word and they learn about it. They go ahead find the puzzle. They solve it So they are getting something done. They are getting value either of just passing time So you get value out of everything you do that's getting something done. Yes. Wow amazing and getting results I'm getting results. So that's basically we can summarize That's what success is when you get results correct out of your goals So now where does from all the peas? Where does success begin? Which speed do we start with? I think we should be start from the first P which is purpose purpose. Yes, basically purpose is From where I sit It's the reason why you are born the reason why you exist What do you aim to achieve in life? What are your goals? What are your aspirations? And for you to realize your purpose you need to begin with self-awareness Which is basically Seeing the ability to see yourself clearly You know understanding who you are how others view you and how you interact with the world Okay, and Briefly, I can mention some of the ways you can become self-aware So that you know what your purpose is. Yes, because you know many people struggle with knowing their purpose And it is said that once you know your purpose life becomes easy because you're doing what you love and what you're called In this world to do. So how do you become self-aware? well To become self-aware the first thing is and I've done this myself practically I call it trial and error You basically try things out like when I was at the University of Nairobi I never knew that I could become a professional storyteller, but I saw a notice and decided well, let me try this out And we competed with the ten others and I became the first one at Loa Cabeta campus This was organized by Story Moja. Later on I went to the quarterfinals. The year that followed now I said I'll not narrate somebody's story. I created my own story Which was about women empowerment known as Kagendo and went all the way and was among the Six finalists in the country and my stories were aired in your sister brand KBC So it was through trial and error. I never knew that I could become a storyteller I never knew I could become an MC. I never knew I could become an author But I tried things out and it worked. So you started by you trying getting yourself out there Yes, and you discovered you can tell stories and from that The others came about and there's something you said summer that I read That you need to know what the main you need to have one main main thing and then the others like Take root from that. Yes expound on this. Well, if we may focus on one of the companies It's MNC multinational cooperation coca-cola. They have many brands talk of Fanta talk of crests talk of stony But it is the cook the cook brand that stands out. So it's important to find your cook in life. Your main thing All right, so thank you for that. You I can say here you've written Grave husband singled out as the richest place on earth and this is this is in relation to Papas Well Grift to be the richest place on on earth. Yes, because many Of course like I me take this opportunity to To stand with the Kenyans for what has just happened We lost our third president may he rest in peace. So many dreams have gone to waste so to speak Many people have passed on without realizing their full potential without pursuing their purpose without being self aware So I urge at each everybody to really Do meditate do the trial experiment I was talking about get feedback from other people so that they can know who they are What their strengths are and they pursue them without Apologies so that when time comes and we have to go to the grave then we go to the grave empty Okay, all right. So now people can help us identify our strengths. Yes Yes, if you don't know you just put yourself up there and you get the little comments that people say I think you're good at this. I think you're good at this and then you've come serious with it Yes, because we couldn't be biased. It's good to do self-evaluation You take a piece of paper you write your dues and don'ts likes and dislikes But when I was a teacher, so to speak me mean in Zuri, Sana and Joe Esabu, Sana lakini Rafiki a quack on beer. I think physics you do better at physics not really mathematics So we reach out to those closest friends or a family members who will not Sugar coat but tell us the way you know it is what it is You know we had people in primary and they were being told you can sing you can but when you hear them You're like you could try something else. So you get people that will lie to you But when you get your close people, they will tell you the truth. Yes, all right So part of it you've written self-analysis of our physics. What is one of the way to find purpose? Yeah, it's basically like Having the mirror test when you Look yourself at the mirror. You are a reflection of who you are Like if I may give her I'm not the best example But I'm not very tall, you know, we say we are we are just we are not short. We are just down to earth So Careers that may may require taller people may require very huge people then you are still re MC Cogge may not fit there. So the mirror test is part of the self-analysis That a you you you are able to to know right like what you are good at what maybe you're not good at These one I'm saying on a light not Again, you may look at yourself in the mirror and you find you have all the signs and symptoms of acting a horror movie So you find maybe you could not fit Becoming a model, you know, because maybe the looks are not there. So Analyzing yourself with you know self-analysis. That's what it's all about Important and God's revelation is also there. Yeah, for God's revelation is We appreciate there is a superpower. We appreciate there is God that there are people who receive visions They are guided on Which directions to take so if you're a spiritual passion, I mean person out there Then and you hear that still small voice Guiding you to pursue this particular direction. Please follow it. All right. Okay. So let's now move on to plan as the second P What about plan what do we need to do? Good after knowing your purpose now you move to to planning This is basically coming up with a blueprint your intended course of action How will you now achieve your purpose and Stephanie? I always advocate for people to really come up with plans in writing and Writing yes, because it forms a point of reference so that You keep yourself accountable. I also get an accountability partner like when I put down my plans I can mention to you Stephanie this year I intend to launch my third book because if I don't mention to an accountability partner Nani Kosekutimiza Then nobody will be aware that I missed a certain Goal so it is important to you have plans and have them in writing and get an accountability partner will keep you So that's something like a version board. Yes, correct. You have you have it written down and does it help you in Does it help motivate you when you have a vision board when you check one box? And you know, you've done that you've able you've been able to accomplish this one thing and that so does it help? boost, you know Boost you as you aim to get to your main goal. Definitely because when you have written like When people come up with a new year resolution and then I would advise you break them into quarters That this quarter you you'd like to achieve one two three the other quarter and so on and so forth when you achieve You you keep on ticking you keep on checking and checking and what you're not able to achieve like in quarter one You take it to quarter two But remember don't take everything to the next because that would be procrastination and you're not to be productive So to speak so yeah plans in writing and when you achieve however smaller goal then You set now a bigger one because like the muscle or hierarchy of needs When you achieve I need it's no longer motivator You now go to the next and why is it important or is it important to celebrate the small wins? Because if I've checked when go and I move on to the other one very quick before celebrating this small one will it numb me from you know The excitement that comes with winning, you know checking the boxes. So is it important to celebrate the small wins? I I agree with that. It's important to to celebrate any achievement. However small Give yourself a part in the back, you know Celebrate in your own way if you take If you drink like me by the way Stephanie, I'm sorry to say this on TV I'm a heavy drinker because I drink eight glasses of water every day I was expecting you to mention some beer You you find joy and fulfillment Having a dance if it's throwing a good party, please do to celebrate each milestone just like the way students do have graduation Even in your own way in If it's business you have exceeded like targets treat your stuff Celebrate that Okay, let's move on to the next one. What's the other P the third one? Well now after you've purpose and planning now you have no other Way to waste time but now to just execute and this is now pursue pursue. Yes. You hit the ground running in project management as I mentioned we talk of JDI just do it because in business We talk of our entrepreneur one day. I want to begin my business, but now you move from that to day one and start That business you have been talking about pursuing it The third P getting things done now getting things done So how do how do you avoid procrastination because you might have that's a plan everything in set you have This one I want to achieve by this date, but now we have a problem with procrastination And a lot of people have that so how do you break from procrastination? I would go with being We've a self-disciplined and having self-drive kujituma, you know because In this life is you and I know that we we have aspirations We have our destiny, but it will be incumbent upon each and every individual To take it upon themselves to really begin the journey of Transformation it is getting up every day despite the discouragements we had yesterday that yesterday did not work out We still keep waking up. We still dress up and rise to the occasion So it has to come from within in fact I I stopped Calling myself as a motivational speaker People are my transformation people Transformation speaker people should really motivate themselves They should not wait for an external party to come and motivate them Especially with the current times where things are a bit hard and you know someone might not have a job But you know it's hard to wake up But you still wake up some I had someone say you need to wake up Need to dress up and just be there if you'll be there and look for something to do instead of just sitting there Or just having your dull clothes. It's important to you to just Show up for the day sure, right? Yes, okay? And here you've said that why and fear may try to stop you when you are When you do our reality checks and it don't so knew that you may not have the right tools and resources for the tasks I had so speak to us about about fear and Imposter syndrome to fear is really one of the deterrent One of the things that stops people from Realizing their goals and achieving what they aspire. There's there is There's the fear of the unknown and my encouragement would be to look at fear as a instead of For a forget everything and run you look at fear as face everything and rise Face everything and rise. Yes, so you have to face your fears Like one of the challenges of people face when beginning a business is how to raise capital but you have to overcome that fear by By, you know Finding ways on how to raise that capital may be friend raising reaching out to friends Whether it's asking for donations. Yeah, so you have to face that fear head on overcome it because your success lies on the other side Is on the other side of fear. Yes, so let's take a short break and we'll come back and you'll tell us about the importance Imposter syndrome because some people really are gifted, but they're really afraid to step out there and do something great So let's take a short break and we'll be right back. The hashtag to use is why in the morning? I try to fight for channel at Stephanie. I get her or at Ram. I go go
