Angela Kamanzi My Journey in Entrepreneurship
“Resilient changemaker” sounds like a lofty title, right? Yet if you are determined to do what it takes to succeed in your business, you are on your way to earning the title.
You are a changemaker if you decide to do something about a social problem and adapt to the changes around you. Then you keep trying until you make a difference and become the change you want to see happen.
You are resilient if you can withstand and recover (promptly) from difficult conditions.
So how do you become a resilient changemaker?
1-Find Your Purpose
You were perhaps taught to follow your passion. That’s good but not enough. You need to go beyond your passion and find your purpose. Each one of us is unique and has a reason for being here. Find the reason you exist. That’s your purpose, which becomes the soil in which you plant everything you do. Once you know your purpose, you will begin to say ‘no’ to any opportunity that doesn’t align with it, no matter how good it is. You will become more focused, disciplined, committed to your purpose and happier.

2-Take Care of Yourself
You need a functional body and mind to pursue your purpose. Most importantly, you need a body and mind that listen to your spirit. Your spirit is the real boss. It’s the one that makes you feel uncomfortable when you take too much sugar or alcohol, when you fail to exercise, when you watch or read unhealthy material, or when you make a decision that you will regret.
While in deep prayer or meditation, or when you listen to your gut, you can connect with your soul and make inspired decisions.
3-Follow Your Goals Through
Goals and setbacks are as linked as the two faces of a coin. The day you set clear goals, know that they come attached with their opposites. Therefore, don’t be surprised when they show up once in a while. Be ready to tackle such challenges, to follow through and to achieve your goals regardless.
4-Seek help
You cannot enjoy a long journey on your own and entrepreneurship is a journey. Hire a coach or a mentor. Get an accountability partner. Join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs. Such assistance will help you keep on course and achieve your goals.
