President of the Forum for Women Accountants in Malawi (FOWAMA), Akonda Supuni Yakobe, has written a book titled “The Goal Setting Mindset – The Key to Unlocking Your Full Potential”.
In an interview with our journalist Chisomo Phiri, Yakobe said the book delves into the transformative power of confidence, goal setting, self-belief, and perseverance, exploring the mindset and habits of highly successful individuals who have overcome adversity and achieved remarkable feats.
She said her personal challenges and experiences with self-doubt, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem motivated her to write the book.
Yakobe said she was mentored to write the book by renowned mindset mentors like Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, and Kim Calvert, who showed her the potential of thoughts in shaping reality.
“I want to share this valuable knowledge with a wider audience, inspiring others to unlock their full potential,” she said.
The female author said she launched the book on October 24, 2024, and is currently accessed directly from her and on Amazon.
She said:”Discussions are underway to stock the book in local bookstores.”
Yakobe said she hopes to inspire a culture of reading in Malawi, where she believes people do not have a strong reading culture, which can discourage writers.
She encouraged Malawians to buy the book, not just for personal gain but also to donate to schools, as she believes it has the potential to transform lives.
Yakobe is a Fellow of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA).
She holds Master of Business Administration in International Business from Amity University in India.
She also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Andrews University in Michigan, USA.
