Revolutionplus CEO Eulogies Passion, Vision of Selfless Leadership in His New Book, ‘The Revolutionary Leader’
To simply describe the personality journey in the world of entrepreneurship as the typical grass to grace story does little justice to the resilience, patience, determination and unshaken faith in God that the real estate mogul, Dr. Bamidele Onalaja, GMD/CEO of Revolutionplus Property has instilled in himself to get to the pinnacle of his career.
Having waded through the murky waters of entrepreneurship, the tycoon and philanthropist who has a 13 year stretch in telecommunications, mortgage banking and real estate sectors before establishing his now global brand has documented his inspiring voyage of about 30 years in a book, aptly titled ‘the revolutionary leader’ which indeed is a must-read for all would-be entrepreneurs
speaking to journalists recently about the publication, Onalaja who is set to celebrate his 5oth birthday in style in the coming days affirmed that starting off as an employee is practically the first step in gaining experience in business management and structures as he did decades ago, with such exposure and adventure, playing a huge role in his adeptness in successfully running revolution plus that has dominated the real estate market in its ten years of operations.
Onalaja, who has also distinctively served until recently, as the chairman of the real estate developers stressed the importance of corporate social responsibility as an entrepreneur, referencing his non-governmental organisation, the Chris Bamidele Onalaja Foundation (CBOF) as a vehicle to give back to society
The foundation has been responsible for over 5,000 beneficiaries, which include widows, indigent children and the less privileged in the society, who have over the years have been empowered via education scholarships, healthcare, sme’s funding amongst others
Onalaja, education is non negotiable as he narrated his resoluteness in acquiring the needed training that shaped his purpose driven career
According to him, entrepreneurship has proven to be the best option as he urged future business owners to take the bull by the horn and start building their enterprise even without capital, which he did at the birth of Revolutionplus as a startup.
Onalaja maintained that the uniqueness of revolution plus has placed it as the 1st real estate firm that developed a business model of engaging social media influencers and celebrities as ambassadors, to reach a younger client base, hence changing the landscape of the sector
Onalaja who has a bias for identifying business opportunities, creating value propositions, and allowing customer validation of products, said his book, ‘the revolutionary leader’ would shape the minds of upcoming entrepreneurs and get them prepared for the tidal waves they will encounter along the way
According to him, “I hope to inspire the next generation of business owners with my experiences because life is full of ups and downs and is not rosy” as he motivated them to always have faith in God which he asserted, has been impactful in his success stories.
The much anticipated publication will be officially launched on his 50th birthday on the 21st of may in a grand celebratory event that is set to attract prominent personalities, including captains of industries, movie and music stars, influencers and eminent politicians, amongst others.
