Create Opportunities

CREATE OPPORTUNITIES AND PLATFORMS FOR OTHERS.

The world is unbalanced.

If you have a platform, bring a bit of equality to the world.

AFRICA: CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS

What you make happen for others, God can make happen for you.

Africa does not need more people waiting for opportunities.

Africa needs more people creating them.

One of the most powerful ways to build Africa is to stop asking only, What can I get? and begin asking:

What can I create that helps someone else move forward?”

Create a job.

Create a platform.

Create access.

Create knowledge.

Create a market.

Create a connection.

Create a business that solves a real problem.

Because when you create opportunity for others, you are not simply helping one person you are strengthening an ecosystem.

A young person you employ can support a family.

A founder you mentor can create another business.

A business you help grow can employ hundreds.

An idea you give someone access to can become an industry.

Build beyond yourself.

The greatest builders understand that success is not only about how much you accumulate. It is also about how many people rise because you decided to build.

There is a biblical principle in this:

What you make happen for others, God can make happen for you.

Give opportunities, and you create possibilities.

Open doors, and doors can open for you.

Share knowledge, and your influence grows.

Build people, and people become part of what you are building.

Africa's future will not be built by a few people becoming wealthy while everyone else remains spectators.

It will be built by ecosystems where people create, collaborate, invest, mentor, employ and build together.

So, wherever you have influence, use it well.

If you have a platform, make room for someone else.

If you have knowledge, teach.

If you have capital, invest wisely.

If you have connections, connect people.

If you have a business, create jobs.

If you have an idea, build it.


Africa needs builders.

Not just people looking for a seat at the table.

People willing to build bigger tables.

The question is no longer:

Who will give me an opportunity?

The better question is:

Whose life can become better because I decided to build?

That is how we build Africa.

From Wiping Tables At Burger King to Overseeing Marketing for Three Hotels on the Kenyan Coast.

My marketing career journey would not be complete without giving credit to the people who opened doors for me and believed in me before I had the experience, title, or credentials to justify their confidence. At the top of that list is Mr. Mohammed Hersi (MH), a mentor to many, especially within the hospitality industry, and a leader who nurtured countless careers at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa and across the Sarova Hotels family. As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded that God truly orders our steps. In January 2011, I came across a feature article in the Star Newspaper about an event at Sarova Whitesands. Looking back, I know it was more than coincidence. Out of all the articles I had seen, why did that one capture my attention? I believe God was answering prayers and directing my path. At the time, I was involved in event planning. Inspired by the article, I called Sarova Whitesands to explore the possibility of working together on events. I was connected to Nick Lad...

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.” > — Psalm 37:5

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Commit your way to the LORD trust in him and he will do this.” Psalm 37:5 “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Look to God, commit the desire to Him, trust Him, and let Him work. A Prayer for a God-Given Husband and a God-Built Marriage Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open heart. You know my desires, my past, my pain, my hopes and the future You have prepared for me. Lord, I surrender my desire for marriage to You. I do not want to force love. I do not want to chase what You have not assigned to me. I do not want to enter another relationship simply because I am lonely, afraid or tired of waiting. If You are not in it, I do not want it. If Your presence is not going with me, I do not want to go. Your Word says: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14 So Lord, let Your presence lead me—even in love. I ask You for...
