Hello, .

How are you faring today?

May I guess?

I am not sure I am good with guessing.

In the mail I sent you last week, I started out sharing with you the mistake you can make for being multitalented.

The first mistake you found out is trying to make massive results from all your talents at once.

Think about it yourself.

Imagine if a person like Kevin Hart wanted to be a stand-up comedian, actor, brand ambassador, entrepreneur, event host, conference speaker all at once at the beginning of his career. Would he have become a star at any?

No need to give a chorus answer as I may not hear it.

Give me the answer in the conference room of your mind.

Let me share with you the next you should know.

The second mistake you should not make as you begin to grow influence and make an impact with your talents is being too loud in your preparation season.

There is a true-life story of a young man called David in the Bible who was the last born of Jesse from the tribe of Judah.

One of the responsibilities the last borns face like many children in Africa is doing the task the elders would not do.

He was the only recorded son of Jesse who took the sheep of his father to the bush to graze.

A day came when the Lion came to attack one of the sheep and he confronted and killed it.

At another time, the Bear came and attack a sheep. David came against it and killed it also.

In all of these, David never went about announcing these moments or seasons in his life. He kept it to himself and continued building.

The mistake many would have made is going on social media to take a picture of the Lion that was killed with a post description stating "the lion I killed with my bare hands".

There must have been another post stating "see the bear I messed up with using any weapon" or "Behold the man and the bear he killed without using any weapon".

What a great mistake that would have been because there are great men who would intentionally have limited his rise for the great stage.

Let me show you the rest of the story.

One day, an enemy of the nation threatened the entire Isreal requesting for a man to confront him. This would determine which nations will become slaves to the other and dominate more lands.

Despite David's elder brothers being part of the army sent to battle, none of them could confront this giant threatening the nation.

This young man, David was only sent on an errand to see how his brother did and give them food when he eavesdropped on the threat of the giant.

He then made up his mind to face the enemy.

He was first doubted by the king which made him present the curriculum vitae of his building process and exploit in the bush.

Eventually, he convinced the king, was given the big stage to face the giant and won with the tool he had always practised with.

Imagine if David had already gone around announcing what he was doing in the bush with the Lion and the Bear.

It would not have carried much value as the right timing when it was said.

This was how David gained massive relevance and influence in the entire nation of Israel.

, while you are still building and developing your talent secretly in the darkroom, don't be loud.

Command results first to the point where they become the announcers to the bigger stage.

The impact your talent would bring after your preparation and building season will amaze even you who committed to it.

I will not tell you this will be easy with the world of Instagram and TikTok but you will be much wiser than the majority with premature manifestation.

Through wisdom is a house built and by understanding, it is established.

We will be wise!
