What is Personal Viability?

 

Perpetual Self-Discovery

Personal Viability (PV) is perpetual self-discovery, perpetual re-shaping to realise one's best self, to be the person one could be. It is the sustainable development of human resource with individual skills to be their best.

PV involves the emotions, character, personality, deeper layers of thought and action, adaptability, creativeness and vitality. And it involves moral and spiritual growth.

To grow a nation we need to grow the people first to be creative and free in thinking and action.

PV is about the worth of the individual and the importance of individual fulfilment.

PV is about self-education, to develop from within, to educe, to draw out, and to grow through use.

Nature hates idleness in all its forms. She gives continual life only to those elements which are in use.

Personal Power

Power grows out of organised knowledge; it grows out of it through operation and use.

A man might be a walking encyclopedia without possessing any power of value. This knowledge becomes power only to the extent that it is organised, classified and put to good use through action.

A viable person is one who knows how to acquire everything he needs in the attainment of his main purpose in life without violating the rights of his fellowmen.

Many viable people have very little elementary schooling but have acquired the ability to combine natural and economic laws and the minds of men or women to get anything of a material nature they so desire.

True education means mind development, not merely the gathering and classifying of knowledge. Personal Viability is the development of the mind to find out the things we do not know and to use the knowledge and resource possessed by oneself and others.

The viable person who can intelligently use the knowledge possessed by another is as much or more educated than the person who has the knowledge but does not use the knowledge.

Furthermore, the viable person is rich and prosperous through intelligent use of all resources, both tangible and intangible, to satisfy all her needs, to become self-reliant and financially independent.

·     Personal Viability training is about solving one's problems, to survive and to succeed.

·     Personal Viability training is about finding yourself, owning yourself and being yourself.

Participants

PV is a universal product because it is for everyone, young and old, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, male or female.

PV was designed for the “livelihood” informal sector, the family. But after five years, it seems everyone needs PV, the “missing link” as many call it.

Since inception, we have trained people with no formal education to Masters Degree holders. The youngest participant was 9 years of age to the eldest of 90 years.

Most of the participants are self-sponsored. The course fee is K250 per participant. This does not include food, accommodation, transport etc. However, because of the unique nature of PV, participants are allowed to attend any number of subsequent courses free of charge.

Family

Man's first and most important organisation is the family. Personal Viability starts at home. If a person cannot organise his family, he has little chance of organising anything else.

One of the best gift you can give your family is to make them viable: the development of their mind, to make use of all their talents, to be their very best, to succeed and prosper and to be self-reliant.

Business Failures

Research indicates that, in Australia and USA, 50% of new businesses do not make it past year one and only 10% make past year 4.

In spite of more and better education, information, technology, personal skills and access to finance, failure rates of businesses remained steady. Why?

We believe the main reason is not lack of finance, lack of skills or lack of effort.  We believe it is lack of Personal Viability.

The Personal Viability of entrepreneurs has much to do with the high failure rate of small businesses.

We strongly believe constant vigilance to maintain Personal Viability is a pre-requisite to the long-term success of an entrepreneur.

An entrepreneur who is not viable, who do not know how to add value to himself and to his business by his every thought and action will become such a liability that it's weight will drown the new business.

A viable entrepreneur can easily become unviable without even realising the change in his or her state.

The elements that behavioural science research has yielded as being unique to high performing entrepreneurs are:

·     Strong achievement orientation;

·     unweaving determination and commitment;

·     self-reliance and independence;

·     hunger for success;

·     self-confidence and self-faith;

·     sustained enthusiasm;

·     single-mindedness;

·     strong reality orientation;

·     willingness to accept responsibility;

·     courage in the face of unknown;

·     ability to survive defeat and disappointment;

·     ability to learn from mistakes;

·     ready to take calculated risks; and

·     a willingness to try out new things.
