SUCCESSISNOTHING WITHOUTPURPOSE
Interview with Jonathan Olufowobi, author of Tips from theTop.
Jonathan,tellusaboutwhoyou areandwhatyoudo.
I'm Jonathan Olufowobi. I was born and raised in London of Nigerian descent. I'm an author now, an international speaker and the CEO of a company called MIPAD, which stands for Most Influential People of African Descent, bringing together
together and building a community of the most successful figures around the world. The team is from five different continents, but the community is from six different continents. So I've had exposure and experience with people from Australia to the UK, America, Brazil,CostaRicaandmore.
Youʼve authored Tips from the Top.Isitwhatitsaysonthetin?
Yes, it's exactly what it says on the
the tin, giving tips for success and purpose from some of the most influential people around the world, from six different continents. I stress six different continents because I want it to apply to many different people. I believe that success is meaningless without purpose to back it. Understanding your purpose and then being able to succeed is what I went for with thisbook.
Howmanypeopleatthetopdid youinterviewforthisbook?
Around 30 individuals from six different continents. Some conversationswerefromoverthe years and half of them were specificallyforthisbook.There's aQRcodeattheendofdifferent chapters so that you can access the recording of me having conversations with them and you can gain a fuller context of the conversationbehindthebook.So it'snotjustabookbutatooltoo.
Now your book is published. Howdoesthatmakeyoufeel?
It used to be a thought that I wanted to write a book, but I didn't believe it was possible. So maybe four years on from that initial idea, being on the other side of this now that the book is published and I'm actually an auth
author, I don't think I've really takentimetothinkaboutthefact that I'm an author, but I'm sure when it settles, I'll be like, wow, thisisreallypossible.So,yes,I'm excited. I'm excited for people to read it, for the reviews and for theimpactaswell.
What would you hope is the impactofyourbook,Jonathan?
Ihopefromthisbookthatpeople will gain an understanding of what their purpose is and really treasure that. You need to go to the one that gave you the purpose in the first place, that focus on God. Ultimately, I want them to impact people in a positivemannerandshedlighton therealtipsfromrealstoriesthat people need to apply to their lives.
