Sarkodie

5 things that motivates Sarkodie’s success
This is a point of view and it’s mine precisely.
I have been following Sark for a while from his
kasahari level days all the way to the top and I
just can’t overlook the factors that motivated
his successful musical career.

Sarkodie is no doubt one of the renowned rappers
and musicians we have on our continent here in
Africa, he has proven beyond reasonable doubt that
he is best at what he does.

In case you don’t know,the road hasn’t been
all rosy for the BET Award winner and we are here
to discuss the secret behind Sarkodie’s success
based on these five elements.

TALENT TO SKILL.. Everyone has got talent some
know how to play soccer,others know how to play
instruments etc.

But when talent is sharpened, it becomes a skill
— something you do with ease and we can testify
that Sark is no more on the talent stage.

He took time to nourish his talent,watered it
till it germinated into a skill — there are so
many talented people who haven’t even realized
their talent not to talk of sharpening it into the
skill stage.

Sark was able to discover his talent, took time
to nourish it till it became something he does
with ease therefore he stands out among his
equals.

I recall a moment when he couldn’t remember
some lines of his verse in his Wofa Kwame and
Choices song during Sefa Kayi’s birthday on
peace FM..

According to the rapper, the lines just come when
he enters the studio and that’s a prove that his
talent has been magnified into a skill.

DETERMINATION. We cannot do anything positive in
our life without determination and looking at
Sarkodie,the dude was a very determined hard
headed personality and there’s no two ways that
this virtue contributed to his breakthrough.

This goes to support the first thing I mentioned
on talent to skill — in the sense
that,sharpening your talent into a skill takes
some amount of determination.

CONSISTENCY. Sarkodie has been very consistent
since 2012,he keeps getting better with each step
he takes — you can be rest assured that you
won’t waste your bundle downloading a song from
him. Consistency!..

Just this year,he has released some of the most
talked about songs — from take it back,a mans
world,the way I feel,wofa Kwame,choices which I
think is arguably the most popular song this year
not forgetting bossy which is currently trending.

COMMITMENT The rap god is passionate and
committed to everything that relates his chosen
field. He is committed to his passion and we can
all see the outcome..

SMART. It takes high level of smartness to get to
the pedigree where Sark is and even more to
maintain that pedigree.

I won’t end without saying Sark didn’t do all
this by himself, he had good management and a good
team, watch your associations, they can make or
unmake you.
