Interview101: The aim entertainment

Tumihub interview session 

The Aims Entertainment is a talent-driven organization that creates platforms for talented individuals on campuses to portray their talents.

The first event organized by the brand at the University of Osun mostly known as Uniosun was graced by Woli Agba and other celebrities as the judge for the talent show.

One would have thought it was easy to get this particular event done but it wasn't. During the planning stage, Tumihub was at a time part of it and we can tell the story of how uneasy it was.

KennyP (the founder of the brand) messaged us for supports, and at a point, he was so disappointed. The day was getting closer but plans weren’t solid. Sponsors are not forthcoming but he pushed through still. This is what we want youths to learn from, that ......

 It is not always easy but not also impossible! 

That is why we have taken it upon ourselves to interview youths who dares to follow what they believe in despite all odds.

 See the message he (KennyP) sent to Tumihub after the event.  

It was very rough but God surprised me, and lots of testimonies. It was recorded as the best talent show in the university of Osun (Uniosun's) history. Our brand was the first entertainment brand to be registered with the school that made the audience thought it was the school that organized the event. We had up to 500k sponsorship. God just surprised me.

And definitely, I had lots of flaws but God didn't make it obvious to people. And I believe God will do the next in a grand style.

The event was sponsored by Plaqad, Dream9ation, Peakythrills, Aresh, Sdq,Midey concept, Nysc blog, Omary foods, and more.


Tumihub decided to interview him and hear how he was able to go through life to the stage he is now. One wouldn’t have believed that someone in his condition could achieve what he has achieved so far.    

We asked him 10 questions only and his response comes out to be what youths aspiring to take their future serious need to learn.

Question one: can you tell us your full name

My name is Popoola Kehinde Boluwatife but people call me KennyP

Question two: How was growing up like? How did it contribute to your success today?

Growing up was very interesting and fun but at a point, I had low self-esteem because I had to live with burnt feet (I have a cobra-looking burnt leg) which was a result of an incidence when I was 6 months old. It made me feel as if "I'm not a normal kid."   but the moment i saw life differently, it changed me and I stopped making excuses.

What made you see life differently?

I had a surgical operation since childhood, August 2014, but it wasn't successful to my expectation. It was still the same old burnt leg I'm always ashamed of but in the hospital, I saw lots of burnt cases, and mine was the least in my ward. Mine was just two burnt feet while others were whole bodies. Ever since then, I've learned to be appreciative and to always bring the best from every situation.

Question three: How did you come up with the idea or vision for this brand?

Okay…. I was bored and frustrated by being a regular sweet kid that plays guitar to impress girls. I knew there is more I don't know about my potentials as lots of prophets on different occasions have prophesized. I also do find myself in my dreams among leaders in suits.

 So I started reading books which authors are Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hills, and many more. I had knowledge and potentials but I wasn't using it. Instead, I was busy talking to friends like a motivational speaker.

A fateful day, Wale, my friend from childhood told me "Kenny you and this your philosophy, and we never see you do anything really important".

These words hurt but made me. I went back to think of what needed to be changed; what unmet needs that needed me. That led to a made-up quote I told myself which says

 "The most beautiful kind of humans aren’t the ones that met it beautiful, but those that made it beautiful"

So I made some undertakings; going to a Man's journey; turning my comfort zone to a battle zone; looking for ways to add values around me and yes I did enter a lot of big troubles but I was just age 20 - nothing to lose so it did worth it.

Question four: Were your parents and friends in support of your passion?

Actually, i lost my Mum 3 years ago. She was my biggest fan as she has seen potentials in me before I did. Dad encouraged me as he prays for my dreams every single day but he is always scared about my education.

 Well, the fear was an influence of my immediate elder brother, Brother Olufe, who is always concerned about me not suffering in my primary assignment, and ever-supportive twin is always like "Kenny abeg no enter debt o". My eldest brother is a big fan of my dreams too.

My Friends Wale, Whyke, Peace, Makins, Gerr, ard, and Mz were all supportive. Although at a point, they had doubts but still very supportive especially my Mentors, Precious, Dream9ation,. Mr. Demola Uniosun, Mc B,obo, and. Ms Doyin. They all showed me the sweetest love I can never forget. They supported me that at a point I was like 'is this a normal love?'.

Question five: What were your fears? How did you deal with them?

I wouldn't say I had fears that big. I accepted and trusted that I am a special being that can always fit in every situation. Most times, i just get to do that area's very risky and be ike

'Alatise lomó atise araré' a Yoruba adage that mean “the doer alone knows the way to go”.

 Till date I don't really know the meaning of those words I just believed it means something like I can solve all the challenges I face. So the  "alatise (doer)”  words really helps whenever I sense I'm going into something that looks bigger than me and yes I'm very prayerful.

Question six: You're a student. How are you coping with academics and your passion?

Most entertainers have bad grades - really bad grades but i wanted to be different. I didn't want it to suffer my education. At some point it was, but when I realized it I began to fight harder to manage my time. And yes it is very tiring.

Question seven: What are your goals?

To continue being Happy and to build a business empire that is a solution to the unmet needs in the world.

Question eight: Where do you see yourself in three to five years?

By God's Grace, in 5 years, I see myself having a great business empire that meets unmet needs in terms of entertainment, food, real estate, and farm production.

Question nine: What mistakes do you think you have made and how did/will you correct them?

I have made lots of mistakes. Mistakes that broke me; mistakes that made some people have wrong perspectives about me but without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

I lacked leadership skills and majorly lacked time management which really affected me but i am working on them daily by reading books on leadership and time management. In terms of leadership, I once had a problem in selecting the right the people with right attitudes to work with and also motivating people I work with to see what I've seen. In terms of time management, I do have problems with doing things at the right time like sometimes ago I was supposed to have a deal with Mtn, Tecno, and some other big brands but I stopped halfway because I couldn't manage my time. So I solved that by always writing my tasks and including times to be accomplished.

Question 10: what is your advice for youths out there.

Let's cultivate a 'Do it' attitude. Yes, you will fail in some areas but those failures aren’t risky as failure to not try at all.

Where is the truth?

Allegory of the cave

Plato claimed that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than opinion and that, in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it through philosophical reasoning.

Plato begins by imagining a cave where people have been imprisoned from childhood. These prisoners are chained so that their legs and necks are fixed, forcing them to gaze at the wall in front of them and not look around at the cave, each other, or themselves. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway with a low wall, behind which people walk carrying objects or puppets "of men and other living things".

  The people walk behind the wall so their bodies do not cast shadows for the prisoners to see, but the objects they carry do. The prisoners cannot see any of what is happening behind them, they are only able to see the shadows cast upon the cave wall in front of them. The sounds of the people talking echo off the walls, and the prisoners believe these sounds come from the shadows.

Plato then supposes that one prisoner is freed. This prisoner would look around and see the fire. The light would hurt his eyes and make it difficult for him to see the objects casting the shadows. If he were told that what he is seeing is real instead of the other version of reality he sees on the wall, he would not believe it. In his pain, Plato continues, the freed prisoner would turn away and run back to what he is accustomed to (that is, the shadows of the carried objects). He writes "... it would hurt his eyes, and he would escape by turning away to the things which he was able to look at, and these he would believe to be clearer than what was being shown to him."

Plato continues: "Suppose... that someone should drag him... by force, up the rough ascent, the steep way up, and never stop until he could drag him out into the light of the sun." The prisoner would be angry and in pain, and this would only worsen when the radiant light of the sun overwhelms his eyes and blinds him.

"Slowly, his eyes adjust to the light of the sun. First he can only see shadows. Gradually he can see the reflections of people and things in water and then later see the people and things themselves. Eventually, he is able to look at the stars and moon at night until finally he can look upon the sun itself." Only after he can look straight at the sun "is he able to reason about it" and what it is.

Plato continues, saying that the freed prisoner would think that the world outside the cave was superior to the world he experienced in the cave and attempt to share this with the prisoners remaining in the cave attempting to bring them onto the journey he had just endured; "he would bless himself for the change, and pity [the other prisoners]" and would want to bring his fellow cave dwellers out of the cave and into the sunlight.

The returning prisoner, whose eyes have become accustomed to the sunlight, would be blind when he re-enters the cave, just as he was when he was first exposed to the sun. The prisoners, according to Plato, would infer from the returning man's blindness that the journey out of the cave had harmed him and that they should not undertake a similar journey. Plato concludes that the prisoners, if they were able, would therefore reach out and kill anyone who attempted to drag them out of the cave.

In a nutshell 

The allegory of the cave distinguishes between people who make sensory knowledge for the truth and those that really see the truth. This in fact leads to the unsuitability of the person preaching the "change" In the society. Take for instance, the unwillingness to change whenever there arises a need for improvement of societal norm.

Although, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is a reminder that not everyone will understand or be happy for you, when you decide to change your habits and outlook on life. Although it’s not enough to leave the cave, it’s much more important that you stay outside of the cave and even when you enter don't cease to "open the understanding" of those still inside. 

These times have even made things worst in that...some those that have "left the cave" seeks to exploit those still held in the cave. Those that had left the cage are the "enlightened ones".

The lesson from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is to question every assumption you have about that reality you call “real...done, not as a means of controlling others but as a way of making people around you live life of limitless possibilities...which will bring about a change for the better.

Thanks for reading. I hope you learnt something. If you do, kindly drop your comments

What is a business without sales called?

What is a business without sales called?

 🤔

If there is no name, please can you help me create one?

What is the essence of taking so much time to create 'value' without consumption?

It is just cooking so much for a wedding with plenty of meat without anyone to eat.
How important is "sales" to a business?

 I will also like to say that as important as selling is, it is not easy. Also, it is not difficult if you know what it is about.

That is why it is important that you learn the right ways to sell. Seek the knowledge from different places. Even if you don't have a business now, you need this knowledge, and the earlier, the better.

If you think you are a career person that doesn't need to know how to sell, that is a lie. What about selling yourself for that job or position?

If selling is unavoidable and uneasy, why are you not paying the right attention to it?

So many times when a business idea dropped into our minds, we are so happy because to us, we are going to make money. We are ready to set out but when you get there, you go know say no be so ooo😀😀😀😀

If you get experience of what i am talking about, please share let us learn. Share your experience please. Thanks

I always tell people that come to me asking for how to sell fast or getting audience to first of all focus on the quality and consistency of their products/services.
You just started writing and your hope is getting people immediately like, comment and read your content. You are already expecting 200likes. No be so na😀😀😀

Take your time to build your contend and also learn how to sell well. It is very important that you pay close attention to how customers in your niche buys. Ask those in that line. JUST LEARN HOW TO SELL MOTHERF*CKER!!

Don't let me vex oo😀😀😀

Only 10 people respond to your advertisement after you posted it on all your social handles or wherever you posted it and you think all those that respond will pay?

Some sales experts will tell you that only 2 to 5% of anyone that makes enquiry will pay. 😀😀... Even those big businesses you are looking up to can testify to this. That is why the pay more attention to advert.
All i am saying is that you should *GO AND LEARN HOW TO SELL*

Thanks

Entrepreneurs VS Professors

Entrepreneurs VS Professors

 I’ve always watched Robert Kiyosaki speak against the school system on YouTube calling the system ‘liars’ but I was a little bit biased about his judgment until I got this particular scene which I am about to paint.

It is said that a professor is someone who specializes in little things. Someone who moved from macro study to micro study. For example, as a building student, you have to run through numerous courses to be a graduate but a professor in that field can focus on ‘project planning’ only all through his life which is just a semester course for an undergraduate. Professors mainly study the depth of a topic.

As far as I know (especially in Nigeria), professors (educators in general) are more into research works. The aim of research work is to detect a problem by raising some important questions and drawing a conclusion on the subject matter.

Also as an entrepreneur, you detect a problem and further provide a solution which in return brings you profit. I solve your problem; you pay me money for doing that. Is this not a win-win event? So sweet right?

Here is what amazes me
The research works of the educators mostly end with grades or a presentation without getting out of the book. Anytime I attend conferences and I  doctors and professors presenting, the next question is “when will this be out of those pages and become reality?”

How can you detect a problem, document it with solutions and stop there?

The school system killed the conversion rate. It’s difficult to convert theories into real-life experiences.

 _If a professor and an entrepreneur are trying to do the same thing, proffering solution, why will one stop at the paper and the other stops at income?_

Do you see why an entrepreneur who graduated as an average student can hire a prof (best students) to work for him? The smartest student is not always the best student!

*Take this last dose before I leave*
Map out a better system for yourself. Don’t get infected by this school system. You have a choice. Be the best you can be. Start now!!!

My Mom won’t just understand!

My Mom won’t just understand!

My Dad may still want to consider hearing me out to my last word but you see my Mom, she won’t even allow me to land before she lands on me.

Am i painting your picture right now or yours is the reverse? Let me tell you my own story

   There was a time my Mum (Iya Micheal) won’t just understand that i haven’t started making that much before she concludes that i am stingy and not considerate. She will lash me with words and i will be like “Mom i am doing this job not cos of the money but...” and she will be like “don’t tell me that...”

It eats deep in my mind and always digs out sorrow because she has really done a lot for me and i know it’s very important i do more but not in this job. How do i make her understand?

What’s your own case? I know a lot of us hates the overt protectiveness aspect of them. You are like “Mom, it’s called cropped top! Mom, it’s just a friend’s birthday”
 
For me, i have always enjoyed freedom against over protection.

In your head right now, you might be saying “My mom/dad won’t just allow me” but let me shock you that it is possible she will if you can consciously create that mindset in him/her.

Parents will always put restrictions on children (or switch on the overprotection mode) until they now have a "confident mindset" that that child now does the right things intentionally.
When they perceive that you now have that independent mindset- a mindset that cannot be easily influenced.

How will they know?
They are constantly testing you. Besides, your relationship with him/her (or parent) is the greatest test of all time.

How much are you working towards creating the impression that you are now mature enough instead of saying that orally when in an argument with him/her (your parents)?

If your parents can get that mindset about you, you have just unlocked the freedom you want.

Well, i know it doesn’t work with all parents. Maybe yours is one but it is not an excuse not to be mature enough. Improve how you respond in crises; when angry; about love; about your career and your decision making most importantly.

Thanks for reading

Oh! Less i forget, to the parents reading this, i am glad you are. Please, kindly be part of the development process of your child. That “Overprotection” isn’t really working- it’s actually doing a bad thing to us. Allow him/her once a while but provide a guide to curb excesses. It’s not easy but you can always work it out- at least for the confidence of your child.

To every son and daughter reading this, you too will soon be a parent. Most times, we become what we hated if not cautiously uninstalled.

Now, i think my Mom will understand!

If you find it comfortable, send to your parents/children/friends/family
Thanks

The quick fix magic

The quick fix magic!

Read this in 10minutes and make 1million naira in 10days! Shall we?

With the rate money is needed in this age, i know just like me, you couldn’t resist this post. There are lots of things that you need to accomplish as soon as possible. Let’s run through what your needs might be at the moment:

  I really want to get some clothes and snickers so i can just upgrade my wears. I have to look good for myself and my spouse so that S/he doesn’t leave me behind in search of greener pasture. In fact, i have to have enough to take some of his/her responsibilities especially on special days like his/her birthday and Valentine’s Day.

 I really want to level up with my friends and the trends in society. I should as well be posting on twitter with the tag ‘twitter for iPhone 11’ display if possible.

Oh! Less i forget, i need to get my room classic. My room needs to look presentable and conducive enough especially for my visitors because i will frequently have visitors as from now.

Don’t let me bore you with so many suggestions. It's possible you have your "wants" playing around in your mind right now. If you don’t, just imagine having a free 1million naira in your bank account right now, what are the lists of things you will use it for?

Perceived needs aren’t far from this generation especially when there is easy access to a lot of information- the internet.

 Let me see if i can quickly read your mind in a minute:
your hunger for money/getting business is because you have urgent needs to fix with the money, right?

That is why it is not far from people to quickly raise their standard anytime there is an increment in the inflow of income for you. You simply say “I can’t wash my clothes myself again. I have moved past that level” and probably ends with “because there is no time”

   If this is the mindset you still have at the moment, do you know what uses to happen to spoons at home? Have you ever wondered what could get spoons missing until you are left with one or nothing?

It’s 99% possible that you will experience the same in your financial life if care is not taken.

What kind of mindset do you now need? Connect with me on WhatsApp (09051911988) as i unveil some of my experience and discovery with you.

Feel free to share. I will be glad if you do.

Thanks

My dream woke me up

My dream woke me up!

It is just January 2nd and I am supposed to be on holiday till 6th but my dream woke me up this early when I planned to have as much sleep as possible before going back to work. I didn’t get up very happy because what I was dreaming about wasn’t even my business in the first place. I wasn’t the main character in the dream and not even someone I was close to was in the dream. The faces in the dream were people I haven’t spoken with for a while. Besides, I am still very much angry because this I am writing too is not really about me but about YOU! Now let me get at it so that i can go back to my sleep.

Sometimes, I end up pitying myself! Why do I have to come to this world? Why can’t I just be something else - why human?

The major reason I always have the thought is nothing else but as a result of the gravity of CONFUSION that overwhelms me about a subject matter at that time. Let me give an instance:

I have heard from different celebrities, motivational speakers and even mentors that it’s best i put more of my effort into getting rich first before trying to fulfill a purpose. When I heard their reasons, it sounds so true and real that I wanted to drop all the dreams i have been having on purpose fulfillment. But then, the next day, I started reading a book by another achiever whose book is more like a success story and all he was telling me in his book is that there is nothing better than fulfilling purpose from the onset. I was so angry that he was saying Gibberish until I read his reasons and success story.  Now I am in the middle. Which of these is correct? Which one are you holding on to now?

This is one out of the millions of my confusion but I think I have gotten the right answer to this particular one and I will like to share with you. I just hope I won’t be confusing you too — Smiles.

MONEY is an important factor to fulfill a purpose — Right? At the same time, fulfilling purpose is an important factor for easy access to satisfaction and more money. This is another CONFUSION — Right? I have an idea.   

What if you discover purpose, begin to work on it and at the same time ensure you are in search of that thing you are PASSIONATE about that can be a source of income for you, will it be nice?

Are you still more confused as I am too? Let me quickly have another pity on myself and on you reading this.

@segalinks on twitter said “when you find yourself in a country going through what Nigeria is going through, you don’t chase money. You find yourself.”

Maybe you need to find yourself to get out of a lot of CONFUSIONS like this. 

WAIT! Just before you go, can we connect? Especially if you are a small/medium scale entrepreneur, or you have a brand you are trying to build or you want to start a brand or you don’t even know who you are and what you want because I think I want to go on the journey with you together. I love to see your brand become irresistible!
