“The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.” Proverbs 30:28 gives the library its name and the whole journey its picture: a small creature, patient and skilled, ends up in the palace. Here is how the web is woven, and the books that walk with it.
Every F-CREATE module is a strand. Watch the spider weave them in the order the mentors teach them, then tap any strand to open what it does, the day of creation it is taught from, and a line from the classes.
Preparing the loom…
Discover who you really are before anyone else tells you. Temperament, personality, how you communicate, how you receive love.
“If you do not know who you are, people will tell you who you should be.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Take responsibility for your life. Decisions shape destiny, so learn to decide: less is more, seek the why first, set a deadline, know yourself.
“If the why is not clear, never make a decision.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
See the season you are actually in. Your twenties are the decade for exploring, so act in keeping with your season and do not get stuck.
“Never confuse the product for self.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Bring hidden things into the light: wounds, secrets, and the gifts you have never used. Shameless audacity, in a safe place, with people who stay.
“It can either crush you, or you get to rock bottom and say: I have to start rising.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Turn vision into a plan and the plan into results. Four steps: listen, hear, believe, then act in faith.
“Rising is a matter of action.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Lead yourself before you lead anyone else: your mouth, your time, your relationships, your resilience.
“The first thing we have to take charge of is our mouth.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Excellence as a way of being, not a one-off result. The journey ends with a certificate, a community for life, and the first step beyond the foundation.
“Excellence is a state of being, not a one-hit wonder.”Taught in the Season 6 classes, 2021
Why the web dips. The mentors draw the season as a V: down through Choices, Reality and Expose to rock bottom, then up through Action and Taking Charge to Excel. The web is hung the same way, so the lowest strand is the turning point, and the climb out ends at the beam the whole web hangs from.
Proverbs 30:24 to 28 lists four things that are little on the earth but exceedingly wise: the ant, the coney, the locust, and the spider. The mentors return to that chapter from the first orientation to the last class.
No capital, no connections, no permission. The spider starts with what is in her hands, and that is the only starting point M&B asks of anyone.
The seven modules are tied to each other by the rings: weekly classes, one-on-ones, assignments done in small groups, and the mentees who went before you.
The web hangs from the levels beyond the foundation. Finish Excel and you climb the anchor thread: Graduate, Associate, and one day Partner.
The foundation is open to everyone aged 18 to 30. What follows is earned, one level at a time.
Entrepreneurship training for those who finish the foundation: a venture idea tested against real milestones, with mentors who have built their own.
Your venture on a track, agribusiness, manufacturing or innovation, with the team and the discipline it takes to run something that must earn.
When your venture breaks even you become a partner: you walk with the next generation, and the web you were woven into is now partly yours to weave.
Three streams run through every level: self discovery, entrepreneurship training, and spiritual maturity.
37 titles by Mentor Morris Njogu, including 17 new manuscripts being prepared for print. Print copies are delivered across Kenya; soft copies are read in the Spider Books app.
