Business coach, writer and humanitarian, Morenike Ogunnowo, has given reasons for the inspiration behind her two motivational books, ‘Break the Hustle Barrier – Growing Your Business from Mere Hustle to A Profitable Venture’ and ‘My Story, My Strength – Breaking the Hold of Limiting Mindset to Reach the Top’, which she published during the first quarter of this year.
She made this known in a recent interview with Arts and Review while speaking on her business career and journey, humanitarian work through her non-governmental organisation (NGO) and her books.
On ‘Break the Hustle Barrier,’ she noted that today, it is more common to hear people talk about how they hustle; and that it is even becoming more popular among young entrepreneurs.
However, she stated that the book will help to re-engineer the mindset of business owners and to bridge the knowledge gap between large-scale entrepreneurs and ‘hustlers.’
“Some feel proud when they mention how much work they put into their definition of being a hustler,” she said.
“This book is written to help readers gain clarity and see the beauty in what they do to earn their income. It is also a guide for all business owners and startups.”
On the other hand, her other book, ‘My Story, My Strength’ chronicles the true-life story of the author, ranging from her background to several limiting factors and the refusal to allow her background keep her on the ground.
The principles, beliefs and her love for self-growth and development bring to the fore her phoenix story.
She also shares her mother’s success story in the book, projecting the power of resilience.
“In this book, I shared some of my stories and certain principles that helped me to live above factors that could have limited me,” Ogunnowo said.
“The book details my continuous desire to impact the lives of many, especially those of the younger generation.”
Apart from been a business coach and a writer, Ogunnowo also delivers public lectures and talks.
“On the 3rd of April, I had the opportunity to speak on the topic ‘Giant Stride’ at Ikoyi Tourist Blue Monthly Lecture Auditorium.
“It was an honour to discuss the topic to the audience, which included CEOs, professors and executive personalities,” she said.
“The feedbacks from the lecture were great. So, I packaged the paper as an ebook and shared as gifts to people.”
As a humanitarian, she is giving out her books along with other educational and inspirational books to some schools’ libraries in Lagos, through her NGO, Paragon Pearl Initiative (PPI), through the contributions and supports of some benefactors and well-meaning Nigerians.
