So Wizkid is ranting and raving about Davido on twitter right now, and the whole discourse is whether people are FC’s (Wizkid fans) or 30BG’s (Davido fans), but for me it just has me thinking about how much more successful they’d both be if they’d just put their petty beef aside and collaborate.

CORPORATE BANTS

It’s All Interconnected

People need to be more honest and open about the fact that every little decision you make in life can impact all areas of your life, whether positively or negatively.

In regard to your career, it’s important to recognize that every aspect of your journey is a potential career choice. This may seem counterintuitive, especially when you're focused on securing a traditional job. However, your relationships, friendships, and even your enemies can significantly impact your professional path.

You’re probably wondering how? Don’t trip; I’m getting there.

Friendships: Your Professional Network

Your friends are your first professional network. The people you surround yourself with can influence your career trajectory, offer valuable insights, and provide opportunities for collaboration. Choose friends who align with your values, support your aspirations, and challenge you to grow.

Enemies: Learning from Adversity

Even your enemies can be considered a career choice. While it's important to avoid toxic relationships, learning to navigate conflict and adversity can develop essential skills like resilience, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. These skills are invaluable in any career.

Relationships: Personal Branding

Your relationships, both romantic and platonic, contribute to your personal brand. How you interact with others, the values you uphold, and the reputation you build can impact your career prospects. Choose relationships that reflect positively on you and support your professional goals.

Remember, everything in life is interconnected. As you navigate all this complex stuff, be intentional about your choices and recognize that every decision, big or small, has the potential to shape your future.
