Insights from Boston: Landing in Boston gives me a lot of joy and delight. I am here not just for pure business but to shape up relationships with my great friends, churches, investment groups and individual friends in Massachusetts. Additionally, I am reminded that life truly is about relationships; understanding this helps me in building stronger connections.
I believe that relationships shape us up more than we think. I am also keen to evaluate the progress of specific persons, here, whom we have been working in partnerships with. It’s a great honor for me to see people moving from one higher level to another. Indeed, life revolves around relationships. Knowing how to build them ensures these partnerships grow fruitfully.
As I was making my way here, my flight delay in Qatar kept me thinking. Why should I bother traveling all over the globe to empower people? To inspire them and seek after their well-being. The more I pondered on this question, the more I realized how fired up I am, to inspire and to create and maintain relationships. Life is centered on relationships, underpinning my dedication to nurturing such bonds.
Life is about relationships – not just about dollars or bitcoins. It gives me deep joy when I see people process information positively. People changing their pessimistic tendencies and transforming into great, positive and progressive thinkers. The positive thoughts shape my enthusiasts to great achievers and persons of better habits.
I have seen people whom I interact with change 100%, improve in their behaviors, careers, wealth and gain laser-sharp focus. I had ignored the gift of transforming others but this is no more. Today, you only need to shake my hand and the rest will be absolutely positive stories to narrate. It’s evident that building relationships is a continuous process intertwined with life’s journey.
My focus is to go out there to the world and talk to people. Learn how they are living, investing, running their families, and how they are thinking about the future. I have visited 15 cities in the UK and Scotland. Over 15 states in the USA besides visiting Qatar, Dubai, 4 cities in Australia, 5 cities in Canada, and 4 cities in South Africa.
The continent of Africa is close to my heart. This is especially true after my recent visit to Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi. These latter trips, last month, widely opened my eyes on the need to positively impact our great Africans. It reinforced the notion that relationships form the backbone of life. Knowing how to build them can lead to profound impacts.
Meanwhile, I am already setting my eyes on my next engagement – in 2018. This is to visit all the 47 counties of the Republic of Kenya and hold meetings with professionals, philanthropists, and key business people. These devolved strata of the Kenyan government are the very platforms from where Kenya’s Vision 2030 success will spring forth. The endeavor emphasizes the essential role of relationships in life and the importance of learning to build them effectively.
