On 29^th April, 2023, I was privileged to attend the Virtuous Business and Leadership Symposium Dinner which had Reverend Funke Felis-Adejumo as the Guest Speaker.

Her key messages were:

Timing is everything and these are what you should be doing at these ages:

1. 25 to 30 years: work to save. 
2. 30 to 40: save to invest.
3. 40 to 50: invest to consolidate.
4. 50 and above: consolidate to enjoy.
5. 70 and above: night begins.

10 key pieces of advice:

1.She advised members to seize the moment. She advised members to express gratitude for all they have.

2. She advised members to leave a legacy in life. We all need to perpetuate your existence and should not allow our lives to die with us. Be generational in our thinking and ensure other people are catching the anointing from our good works. She urged members to mentor others formally or informally.

3. She urged members to invest their money and buy shares in everyday companies. It is written in the Bible; that a righteous man leaves inheritance for his children, so we should be entrepreneurial and keep seeking profit making ventures. Members should plan for their retirement.

4. She advised members to keep learning. In this society, we all need to keep learning and unlearning to remain relevant. We have to have a growth mindset that is a new every morning. 1 King 1. Be evolved, improve on yourself.

5. She advised members to love themselves. They should take care of their well-being and ensure they rest, have time for them and enjoy their life.

6. She advised members to use their voices for God’s work. Use your networks, social media to spread the gospel and do good.

7. She advised members to always network as we always need a recommender in life. There will always be a situation where people will have to speak for you in rooms that you are not in. Strive to leave a good reputation among the people you interact with.

8. She advised members to seek discernment from God so that they can be able to trust the right people.  In business, we need to know when to let people go or they will destroy what you have built.

9. Seek God’s blessings in your business. Tell him to place people in your path who elevate your business for his glory.

10.  Keep praying to God to be your guide and pray for your staff.

Three prayers to pray everyday of your life:

Lord simplify my life

Amplify my voice

Lord, fortify me. 

I found her talk very encouraging and inspiring, I hope this can help each one of us become better leaders.
