The average morning routine of a professional goes thus:
- 4.30 am: Wake up

Knowing the influencers driving the conversation in your market is also key learning you need to be aware of daily so if there is a need to amplify your message during the day, you know exactly who to reach out to.
Many assume this is a job for communications team member but No it is a strategic role which you must have an oversight off. What will interest you as a business owner, or C-level executive will be different from what will interest the communications Officer, the failure of your business will be your responsibility. Try this out in your organization, take a single newspaper, read it and make notes of what interests you, pass this same newspaper around your organization and tell team members to make notes on what interests them in the same newspaper, you will see that while it is just one newspaper, the factor interest will vary.
So instead of reading emails and blogs at 6am, add industry intelligence reports to the email and blog reading before reading the dailies. Doing this makes you fully aware and informed on happenings around your market, business, and industry (without missing out on any potential competition), knowing the threats to watch and the opportunity to take during the day. The dailies will now give you the general national news to corroborate what you have read, making you better prepared to be more productive during the day.

The selected leaders will spend five months learning from experts, coaches and a customised curriculum so they can strengthen their community.
Today, Facebook is inviting community leaders from Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya to apply for the 2021 Facebook Community Accelerator Program—a program that offers participants training, mentorship and up to $50,000 USD in funds to invest in an initiative that extends their community’s positive impact.
The aim of the Community Accelerator is to help leaders of Facebook communities to harness the power of their community to turn ideas into action. The selected leaders will spend five months learning from experts, coaches and a customised curriculum so they can strengthen their community.
Lessons include community identity foundations, leading action-oriented programmes and sustainability. Participants will also receive early access to new Facebook products aimed at helping communities better manage and activate their members.
Plan an initiative
Participants will identify an important initiative that will create a positive impact on the broader world and develop a plan to mobilise their community around their goal. Initiatives will be shared with potential partners, mentors and a panel of judges for the chance to be awarded funding and receive public recognition.
Participants will then spend three months executing their initiatives. They will collaborate with advocates and leaders in the community space and work with the Facebook team to bring their ideas to life.
Says Kiran Yoliswa, Partner Management Lead, Middle East and Africa Community Partnerships at Facebook: “Facebook communities and their leaders are helping to resolve social challenges, sharing knowledge and information, while connecting with others that share their interests or passion for a cause. We’ve seen so many incredible communities from across South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria using our platform to drive change and provide support and encouragement for thousands of people, we’re excited to offer their Facebook Community leaders this program to help amplify their impact even more.”
How to apply
This program is open to communities that have a presence in Facebook Groups with leaders who are 18 years or older. Communities must have existed for over one year and must have a minimum size of 1,000 members. Applications open today, May 4 – 31, 2021.
