When Creative Juices Flow...

Hello guys! Believe it or not, I’m sitting in my office absolutely stressed, working on - I don’t know how many projects at a time.

I don’t know about you, but I find that I keep saying to myself – ‘I’m not taking any more work’, but each passing day I can’t seem to stop my brain from creating more tasks. The cycle begins - I absolutely fall in love with some of these ideas I create, and I have the urge to start executing and implementing these ideas!
Believe me, there are pros and cons to doing this.

The benefits are that you get to live your dream, but on the flip side, the reality is that these dreams become babies who need attention, who need care, who need branding, who need resources, and who need lots of time!

I don’t know which category you fall into – are you like me in this regard, or would you say that you’re really just the sort of person that just has one idea a month, or a year? How creative are you? And what do you when your creative juices start to flow, in different directions? 

                                                        

Welcome to My World!

As you may well know, I’m Mo Abudu, the Hostess and Executive Producer of Moments with Mo.

I’d like to use this opportunity to let you into my life and give you a better understanding and appreciation of who Mosunmola Folake Abudu really is.

My Story

In telling my story, I may go backwards and tell you about the days when I worked in Kentucky fried chicken in the UK, or I may go forward and tell you about my hopes and dreams. One thing’s for certain – over the next few weeks and months, I’ll share bits and pieces of my life hoping to inspire you by the lessons I’ve learnt. I invite you to journey with me, let’s take this walk together.

So What's Your Next Step?

Steps are important because every step you take, leads you into another phase of your life. There’s a next step to take in every facet of life - in your education, in your relationships, in your career e.t.c– someday, you’re going to have to take it.

On taking steps, let’s focus particularly on a critical aspect which is - taking the next step to living your dream, and doing something that you are passionate about, and you can make a living out of. There’s no better way to learn than through real life experiences.

So, here I was – in my thirties – not sure what to do, about taking the next step with my career. I’d been working in ExxonMobil, heading the Human Resource department, for several years. It was a nice job with lots of benefits, good pay, good working environment, the kind of job you’d give an arm and a leg to have. But I got to a point when I said to my friends and my family - I want to quit!

They thought I was crazy and deep down within me, I thought, maybe I was, but I felt very strongly about going out on my own and doing my own thing. Yes, it was a risk, yes I was afraid, but deep within my soul, I felt it was something I had to do.                 

After tossing the thought back and forth in my mind, I wrote my resignation letter and handed it in. I was asked by management several times if I really wanted to take this step, but there was no looking back. I had made up my mind, i was closing one door; and opening another.

A company that I had registered when I moved back to Nigeria-Vic Lawrence & Associates-was then about to go into its full operations.

That’s all we’ll take for today, but whilst I continue to tell you this long story over the coming weeks, let’s chat about some of your stories.                                                                 

Is there is a big decision swinging like a pendulum above your head? What’s your next step? Are you going take it? Do you want to take it?                                         

 Are you afraid of taking it? Are you unsure about taking it?
