Uchenna Onwuamaegbu, shared a few things about Uchenna and what happened behind the scenes of the young girls’ achievement, a Nigerian entrepreneur and author, Mfon Ekpo challenges people to be useful to others who may need their help.
Read her message below
“My friend, mentor and multi-millionaire Paul Martinelli would repeat this over a period of years in trying to correct my #moneymindset . Almost everytime I heard him speak, he would say “THE WORLD NEEDS YOU RICH “.
I love stories, but I love the #BehindtheScene stories more. I heard about these girls in June but not for the reason we are celebrating them now. The request said the coordinator had been trying to secure resources to help these girls connect to their #dream.
It wasn’t just the need for money, it was the urgency of it, the timing -it was a make or break really. If they rallied hard enough, they would eventually get the funds, but time would be lost.
I called my friend Clara and asked her to confirm if this was a genuine need and she did. So I sent a message to the group and the girls saying I would foot whatever was left of the bill.
It’s easy to celebrate now because the girls won, but at the time all I thought was “If they have an opportunity, the least we can do is give them a fighting chance for its survival even if all they get is the #exposure.”
Because in conducting #Blueprintofhow seminars around Africa, I have found out that one of the core disruptors to the pursuit of purpose or passion is #poverty.
You can’t dream when all you are trying to do is #survive.
Yesterday, I got a message saying “Congrats, your girl’s team won”. Then I saw all the pictures and congratulatory messages. So, I thought “What if they didn’t go?”
Only a few know how Uche fought to make this happen, only a few know about the #MandelaWashingtonFellows that contributed to get visa fees. All that is minor in the light of what has happened as it should be.
But what if?
How many more ideas and genius have been buried for lack of funds? Then can blame the government all we want. BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? What about the difference you were put on earth to make? The world needs you rich. Your playing small doesn’t serve anyone.
It is irresponsible to cloak yourself in false simplicity concerned only about #selfsustainance. #Significance makes it not about you. If you have a good heart and if you really want to make a difference, THE WORLD NEEDS YOU RICH.
