 Well, thank you for staying with us. Welcome back still on career talk and on gold setting We are just from discussing the four questions that are paramount that you need to ask yourself for you to To help you set your goal. That is who am I who am I becoming? How do I become and when? Those are the questions. Yes, okay Life you must ask those kind of questions you must ask those kind of questions because becoming somebody it's a process It's a process. So that's why young people who are listening to us. You know, they like patience Because some they want to become leech within a few days few years some they want to become, you know Famous in a few days, but that one cannot happen. It is a process When we celebrate these people while prominent sometimes let us go and research You know, some they started 20 years ago 30 years ago 15 years ago and now they are very famous Maybe pursuing their career. So that's why we want to advise young people are listening to us to become somebody that you want You must be patient and go through the process and for sure you will become amazing Yes, and now how do you how do you strategize now? How do you? Create strategies towards your goals to achieve them And number one is to know your goal. What do you want? That's number one. Kill number one. You know, I've I've talked to young people Some they're through high school and they don't know who they are becoming In fact, you know, but I'm gonna go and be it. It's a day. I was doing you know So you must know what kind of a goal that you want to pursue What kind of a career that you want to it's very important. That's number one Number two, you must do what you must Break those goals in big goals and small goals Because you know success is a process It's a process you move maybe you pursue your certificate any degree Then a master's it then a doctorate. It's something start from degree You want, you know, you break them into into small what we call abortions Yes, so if I want to be someone wants to be a journalist that is that goal. So how do they break that down? No, that one it will depend You know Your career and the great maybe you scored in high school Maybe if you were able to score an entry grade to university, you start with a degree Maybe if you had a C plus and below you start with the diploma do you see? Yeah, but Nothing can stop somebody from becoming what you wanted to become in life You can start from that's why I've been telling young people you can convert your grade into something Because they are young people several young people are listening to us If Kenyans and all over the world, maybe you did not score an entry grade now you call yourself. I'm a failure There's nothing I can do, but that's not the truth. You can start we have people today Doctors, but they started from certificated diploma and you know, that's why you must break it into small goals Okay another thing you must assess do assessment I always I've been talking about setting goals even in other stations. I tell you people assess your goals Maybe after one year, maybe after two years or after three months. You do see you assess I've been when I talk to principals in high school. I always tell them, you know assess assess your Maybe they mean that you wanted to score you assess after if you want 10 and Maybe within one year after three months you do assessment after three months you do assessment After three months you do assessment. What is the purpose of the assessment is to see Whether you are stuck or you are moving. Do you see even our personal life? Sometimes if you are no more you must do assessment. Okay. Am I progressing or am I stuck? Even an assessment of your your finances am I wasting my money or you know, I'm using my money well Am I progressing with my career or I'm stuck? It is very important. If you are serious with your life You must do that because assessment it will help you to know your weakness and your strength. Okay. Yes So now after that is there anything else in the strain setting the strategies? Setting strategies once you have set your strategy, you need and help There are some goals that you can't achieve by yourself. That's why we need a mentor Mentors in a life, you know, there are people who have gone ahead of us. Do you want to pursue your career? Yes, that's why you know when I talk to people who pursue career And somehow they are stuck. What always I advise Go to somebody who is who is mentally in you is your mentor Because everyone of us any cost that you want to pursue you must have a mentor You must have somebody that you admire somebody you can go to who has gone ahead of you to advise you You need to figure out because I'm gonna be fine even if you do you see so even this gold We said sometimes we cannot achieve by our own power, you know by our own strength Yeah, so you need somebody that you can talk to somebody who can inspire you somebody can talk to you Do you see? Yeah, because it's very important. Okay. Yes There are some people who are stuck today because they have no person to guide them Guidance very important. All right. Yes, and you had mentioned earlier about Timelines having timelines for your goals. Tell us about this You know, if you don't have you don't set your timeline What will happen? listeners will occupy your heart because You know, there are people today something that was supposed to achieve within one year because of laziness They don't have what timeline, you know time running will bushes you. Okay. It will inspire you It will make you to wake up early in the morning It will make you not to waste your time Do you see? Yeah, but imagine You know to catch a jenga. I'm not a customer. No, no cut. So you relax But when you know your timeline One year from now, there's something I will do Two years from now, there's something I will do ten years from now. There's something I will do So what will happen? You will never allow yourself to waste time. Okay, so you want to be a procrastinator. Yes Okay. Yeah, procrastination comes When you don't have what you call timeline So you know, I will do it tomorrow. I will do it tomorrow I will do it tomorrow in the fact when you want to do something and you have set a goal You know about timeline It's very important Even if it is a come back. We are going all over Africa within one year. Then this one will make you to come up with strategy Do you see? Maybe I want to make this million two million from now. How I want to become a professor How you want to become a doctor? How I want to write a book We have I've done ten titles and every time I want to write a book. I say ma we were maybe seven months from now I want to come up with a new book. So it will it will push you Do you know it will make you not to sleep? You will work a very in the morning. Maybe sometimes you sleep right because there's a timeline But when you don't have a timeline, that's why many people, you know There are people who work a little bit and sometimes, you know, maybe after which hour because you don't have a timeline You know, think of 45 By the time you're at 50, you will say, oh, I you know My mom, you know, I got a timeline. I said, you know, 10 years five years I will be somewhere this one will make you to You know to get motivated Actually, it will motivate you So time is very important in whatever you want to even in a career. Maybe you have graduated today with your masters And you want to continue with your studies. How long? Maybe you have graduated with your diploma. How long will it take? You know to start another you go for further study seriously But if you relax and the one thing I always tell people when you are at a comfort zone, you will never move So setting goals, it will push you to move out of the comfort zone You know to to work hard. Okay. Yes. Now, let me now take you to What happens now if your goals don't align or don't come to be? So how are you supposed to deal with failure because it happens you have set a goal But you have not been able to achieve it for one reason or another. Yes. How do you handle that? You're not success Sometimes it's moving from one fear to another without losing hope Do you see without losing hope? So what happened is if you have been accounted with maybe failure in life You are not supposed to lose hope. You persist One the first thing that you are supposed to do is to do assessment. Why have I failed? Okay Be true to yourself Maybe you can do it here be a share or you can do it because You must ask yourself why because there's a reason Do you see so from there you have learned a lesson You know failure will give you an opportunity to learn and listen to do it. Well, do you see? Let me talk of example I've talked to young people about Kaliya When I put a conversation for this through with universe and they have stayed outside for 10 years seven years Because he just a wrong Kaliya. No, you know, sometimes that's what happens. Yes Maybe some days we will come and talk about Kaliya because Through with the university India and Lisa, what can I do now? Imagine I'm through maybe some some young people they just this bogus Causes causes are not in the market So Napa is hopeless. There's nothing easy doing. That's why many You know, I've invested some self into drugs Because we imagine somebody has wasted four years and I'm people I come back cause you'll if I'm not a cousin you know You are supposed to in college yourself Ask yourself. What can I do? There are many young people I've talked to I'm here. My trust was in eternalism I'm here. Why don't you then go if your parents are the people want to do it? We have seen people doing that you know, you can leave brandy yourself You can give your hope to yourself, you know, you are not once you are failed You are not supposed to stay there rise up and they do something That's what you are telling young people.

There's no room to give up Yes, you fail many times and I listen and they continue with the journey. Okay. Yes So this I want to know bringing the place of bringing attitude What is the place of attitude in this because to rise up every time is means that you have a resilient attitude towards Where you're going, you know attitude is a feeling towards something That means if it's a feeling towards something you can change You see because the difference between success and failure is the attitude Do you know there are people today who have called themselves failures They are branded themselves, but I'm not supposed to be which because of the attitude and the attitude you can change That's why I said, you know attitude is everything How do you feel about yourself once you are failed?
