chukzbook stores: Welcome Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa

chukzbook stores: We are very glad to have you today!

Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa Thank you

chukzbook stores: Let’s begin…Where did you get the inspiration to write UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL!?

Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa All true inspiration come from The Creator. He’s my source of inspiration. He had seen me through a lot of challenges in life. He had taught me not to let challenges break me down but rather, to make my challenges a motivation to others. I’m inspired by the experiences God had seen me through quite early in life. Also, writers are good readers hence I am a reader per excellent.

chukzbook stores: Interesting! What sets UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL! apart from other books in the same genre?

Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa Thank you. A lot of people out there had heard a thousand and one messages and have read regiments of books about self-discovery yet after the feelings of motivation caught from the message, they have no testimony of practical implementations in their own life. That is why Unleash Your Potential does not only motivates you and leave you stranded to just feeling motivated only. Hence, its subtitle is BEYOND JUST MOTIVATION. It sets you to positive actions and as it is eye opener to physical, spiritual and social influences governing opportunities, talents and success in life. Unleash Your Potential takes the talk beyond just the feelings of motivation. Unleash Your Potential is written to give practical solution on how to discover the goodies The Creator had embedded within you and how to identify and utilize opportunities around you even in a country like Nigeria. As a gifted writer, the tune of expression of the ideas are finely tuned and such that it can easily flow into readers memory.

chukzbook stores: That’s great! As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL! getting out to the public?

Abegunde Sunday The key to my success is (God) he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth. I believe I am a gift to the world hence I don’t toy with inspiration, faith, hard work and persistence. God formed me for a purpose and have important messages to deliver through me. Hence, I considered writing as a platform to let my voice be heard in my generation.

chukzbook stores: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL!?

Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa The entire wealth of ideas contained in Unleash Your Potential did not all come at one go! It came bit by bit hence I scribble down ideas as they come on plain papers and at the back of my writing pads. Later, I started writing and organizing it all in as a single write up in a single note as a single body of ideas. This book is a journey of about three years which The Alpha and The Omega took me through. The impress to write a book come strongly in my heart around February, 2010. I was impregnated with loads of ideas contained herein in this book. It was as though a load of gifts in me seeking a way out to the world. For nine months, what I do is to scribble down ideas, inspirations and experiences I had or recalled. The nine month idea ‘pregnancy’ period lapsed around November, 2010. I then devoted two weeks to painstakingly convert the roughly scribbled ideas from regiments of writings on rough papers and jotters to a single manuscript. It was given to a lecturer for proofreading. I effected a couple of changes and suggestions between 2011 and 2012. Around April, 2013, I read through the book over and over again. I made a couple of changes again. The flow was jazzed up. Almost every paragraph was carefully restructured, rephrased, re-analyzed and reviewed. This was a lot of work that took close to four months. I began to type on my phone and on my laptop. As I typed, Inspiration comes: to add, to remove and to restructure a couple of facts. I gave out the manuscript for proofreading. After this was a professional editor consulted to crown up the straightening.

chukzbook stores: Do we have a problem of self-discovery among our youth as with the current high rate of unemployment? Can someone with a potential be unemployed for a long time? What are we missing?

Abegunde Sunday Olaoluwa Yes we have problem of self discovery among individuals in this nation. We have people who have the potential of being an employer but are actually out there seeking to be employees. A person with a great potential can face the challenge of unemployment but not for long. Challenges are normal and your potential will not prevent challenges, what it does is to assure you of triumph.
