Can you imaging how much they'd have to pay if they were told to advertise themselves on that TV? and yet, they are giving two free minutes to do exactly that? On a show that the owner has made sure millions are glued to watch? And many multi-billion making organisations are fighting to get a space to advertise their product? Yet, you are given that moment for free, to advertise yourself, you talent....yet you do not see that.... They cant be helped! At all!
This is the time to make themselves so indispensable that if Churchill wanted to let you off, he'd have to fold and go home... And you start your own show. Yet, there is none of them who've reached that level..... that level that makes the whole crowd ecstatic! That's what they should be aiming for right now!
This reminds me of the day Wahome Mutahi moved his column from Nation to Standard. Nation watched as their sales dropped dramatically...eventually they called him back... of course at better terms.
Most of our youth just want to share in other people's sweat but not to eat from their own! I have seen many coming to seek employment in my consultancy offering to do for me exactly what I do myself!
I usually tell them that the only way I can allow them to ride on my reputation that I have build over a long time is if they paid me! They think I am crazy.
Imagine you are a doctor (I am not!!) and you have built your reputation for expertise and diligence over the last decade, then a young graduate medic wants to join you practice to treat your patients...
Why not just open their own clinic or join a hospital? There is a reason why patients go to doctors' clinics instead of hospitals...
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
