You Can Be Anything

You Can Be Anything

By Solange Che

For many years, I was caught up in the thought that failing at my first big dream meant that was it for me. I started doing survival jobs that did not have anything to with my formal education. Suspending my PhD after about 2 years took me back to ground zero because all I had done for the past 28 years of my life was study. Failure is a state of mind that if not handled with care can destroy ones' personality. It took me to acceptance, goal setting, revamping my self-confidence, sacrifice, resilience and vulnerability to come to the realization that I can start all over again and be my best version. Episodes in this podcast will include real life experiences and lessons learnt, chats with people with a similar story so that listeners will have a wide variety of content to draw from. This is a learning process for us all and so deliberations based on questions and concerns will be discussed as well. This is a medium for us to learn how we can be audible and be our own best versions.

Episode 15 - It is okay to ask/seek help!!!!

Episode 15 - It is okay to ask/seek help!!!!

It happens more often than we realize that we get stuck on things because we were too scared to ask for help. In this episode, I encourage my listeners to speak out. Many people tend to hesitate asking for help because they are scared they are going to get judged. I do not blame them because I have been a victim as well. However, I will like to remind you that being able to ask for help is a sign that you are willing to learn and to grow. It is a strength. Do not let anyone hold you back.

Episode 14 - A chat with Raoul Fossi - Founder and CEO of SkyVue Solutions

Episode 14 - A chat with Raoul Fossi - Founder and CEO of SkyVue Solutions

In this Episode, I am honored to have a chat with Raoul Fossi. Raoul is a proud child of Bandjoun, Cameroon with imaginary ties to the Nso land. He is a Mechanical Engineer and owns a Drone Service Company in Douala, Cameroon. 

I invited Raoul to the podcast, not only to talk about his experiences owning a business back home, but also to share with us the reasons behind his decision to relocate to Cameroon, leaving behind the American dream that most of us are out here working hard to experience. Raoul's reasons are very personal and soul searching. This decision is one that many people do not have the courage to execute even though they might have thought about it at a given point in life.

Being a philanthropist and a thinker, Raoul spends his 'me time' writing. He shares some of his writing points with us in this episode. The 10 points he talks about are so realistic you might be able to pick a life's mantra from them if you do not already have one.

At the moment, SkyVue Solutions is interested in expanding to other parts of Africa so please share any connections you have with us.

The Company is also looking for investors as they expand.

Raoul can be reached on ~

In this episode, I talk with my daughter Haley about some of the interesting and challenging things she encountered in her last year of Elementary school. She also shares with us what are expectations, fears and plans for Middle school are. I see that as an opportunity for our kids to express themselves and by so doing, we as parents we might be able to understand their feelings and frustrations thereby creating a safe space where we can advice and guide them as they journey through life.

Episode 9 - Solo-Parenting

Episode 9 - Solo-Parenting

In this episode, I choose to give a shout out to all solo-parents irrespective of the circumstances that led you to doing this job alone. As a solo-parent myself and a woman working towards building a career for myself, my experiences have proven to me that no matter how much society thinks being a single parent is odd, we solo-parents are heroes to our little ones! Do not let narrow minded people push you into thinking less of who you are and the great job you do. Let's stop ALL HATE!

Episode 8 - What is Success to You?

Episode 8 - What is Success to You?

In this episode, I throw a little light on what success is and what metrics we should use to measure whether or not we are successful. I quote from one of Mark Mason's writings about the measurement of success/failure. It is a gentle reminder to not judge other people's success because you do not know what standards they have set for themselves. Opinions, Opinions, Opinions, everybody has ONE!

Episode 7 - Stop Making Convenient Excuses

Episode 7 - Stop Making Convenient Excuses

In this episode, I encourage you to snap out of what I refer to as convenient excuses. These are those excuses that prevent us from bursting out of our balloons to put out content that could be of great essence in someone else's life. I talk of the importance of using words that elevate people because I bet you would be shocked by the number of people who have placed limitations on themselves because someone instilled self-doubt in them.

Handling Rejection

Handling Rejection

Sometimes we feel guilty for asking the whys because it sounds like we are feeling entitled. I look at it more as trying to understand why we got rejected and making adjustments. Many people give up their quests in life because they were rejected. In this episode, I encourage you not to give up because of rejection. Inasmuch as it hurts really bad, it is important for you to understand that rejection is just a part of life. Remember that in this life, you will get way more Nos that Yes's. Keep Walking!
