....

I sat in an office today and the first thing I was asked was this;

"If you had one minute with Dangote in an elevator, what business would you pitch to him and how would you do it?"

I laughed a bit because it caught me off guard. Not because I did not know what to say, but because I was not expecting the question at all.

What surprised me the most was how fast the answer came, I did not have to think too hard. It was not perfect, but it was honest.

I knew what I wanted to talk about, i knew the idea I would mention, I knew the direction I would take, even if it still needs work.

Afterwards, the man asking the question said something that stayed with me. He said he asks that question often and many people struggle with it. Not because they are not smart, but because they have never paused to think about themselves that way.

And it made me think.

Maybe growth does not always look like having everything figured out. Sometimes it looks like having a rough idea.

I am not even there yet, I'm still learning, still becoming.

But today reminded me that even in the middle of becoming, it is okay to have a dream that is still under construction.

Dearest reader, now, I'd like to ask you the same question I was asked, "if you had one minute with Dangote, what business that concerns/would benefit you, would you pitch to him and how would you do it?" 

It's a fun question as it gives thorough exploration to the many fibres that makes us. Maybe it is just about being aware of what you are slowly growing into.

But think about it, what would you passionate pitch that could convince someone of such importance.
