Hello and welcome to a ‘Piece of
Peace’, your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. This week I
would like to share with you on the topic of “The Bright Idea in the
Dark”. This week’s topic is inspired by my first ever article to be
published in Forbes Africa and tells the story of the entrepreneurial
journey of Mr Fred Degbe, the founder and CEO of Heel the world, Ghana’s
first premium luxury leather brand.
The true
essence of an entrepreneur lies in someone who is willing to take risks
and this is something that I feel Fred’s story encapsulated. When
listening to his story, I saw someone who had a dream, a goal and a
purpose. He wanted to show the world that high-end luxury products could
indeed be manufactured in Ghana. Like many great minds, he initially
faced the all-knowing NO! He made me realise that we all face different
challenges in our individual journeys to success. Sometimes when you are
on that long road, it may feel like you are the only one going through
difficulties. I have been there several times.
Unflinching
in his resolve to prove his critics wrong, Fred staked everything into
his dream. It shows that in order for you to grow into the purpose God
has outlined for you, you need to commit everything you have to His
plan. If you are not willing to lose, how can you expect to gain in his
blessings? The only person who is qualified to tell you that you cannot
do something is you. You are what you think. That means whether you
think you can, or whether you think you cannot, you are right in both
instances.
God has given you the ability to prove
your critics wrong. But the amazing thing about God’s plan is, when he
decides to move in your life, he makes it possible for you to deal with
all the ups and downs that come with that change. Believe in him and
trust the process. Before anything great happens, you will have to go
through discomfort. Remember always to be yourself, because everyone
else is taken.
Much Love,
Peace Hyde.
