DO THE DUE! (pun intended)
I observed that in the last
decade, we have witnessed the transformation of many pleasure pursuits like
photography, public speaking and baking etc. into very profitable enterprises.
You must have heard of, or met a
few guys that quit their jobs to pursue their passion-to-profit ventures, and
they have been making much "more than a living from their loving".
By the way, if you haven't heard
or met anyone who have done that, here is my paraphrased story. After a series
of outstanding job stints with various organisations that cut across NGO, HR,
Mgt. Consulting and Academia, I dropped my letter of resignation from a good
job with the Federal Government in 2013 to pursue my passion for BMC and HCD
and with God's grace I have been "making more much more than a living from
my loving".
You as well might have long
desired to turn your passion into enterprise, however, it has remained a mere
dream because of your '8 to 5' job. Consequently, you have resolved that 2015
is the year you "Do-the-Due!" (drop your resignation letter &
pursue your passion).
Friend, 'farabale' (hold your
horses) before you Do-the-Due, Do Due-Diligence!"
Due-Diligence in this context
refers to the comprehensive appraisal of yourself vis-a-vis your proposed undertaken,
especially to establish your key assets (knowledge, skills, experiences &
networks e.t.c) and analyse market opportunities in order to evaluate your
commercial viability.
Chief amongst your Due-Diligence
exercise is a very much needed series of "Dry and Wet Run" of your
passion to profit venture. The series of "test runs" will help you
ascertain the pros and cons of your undertaken and aid you in identifying the
possible loopholes in your approach, methodology, skill-sets, products and
services.
To mitigate blunders and achieve
awesomeness in 2015, we must Do the Due, with Due Diligence.
