quick background
I graduated with a 2/2 from the University of Ibadan & by society’s construct
I’d prolly be getting paid peanuts at a secondary school or so back in Nigeria
but I wasn’t cut out for that, I took the online space serious since I was 15 (best decision ever)

Here’s some things I’ve learned over time

Focus on longevity over quick bucks
Go into something you can stick with for the next 5 years & keep iterating at it without quitting
The internet has leveled the playing field. Test, test, test till you figure it out & avoid shiny object syndrome

you don’t need piles of certificates to succeed, you do need real world experience to win at life
Schools teach you literacy and theory, life needs practicality for you to win in the long run
Your BODMAS won’t get you rich
Learn about money before you even make it.

If you truly want to build actual wealth, you need to stop leaving how you make money to chance.
Stop being on the defense and start going on the offense. Read, take courses, seek mentors on the subject of money
Seek help, you can’t do it alone

Kill your ego and focus on learning from others. You’re not stupid by asking questions and seeking answers

Focus on distribution: true wealth is built on getting your offers into as many hands as possible
Scale & distribution is the key to building true wealth
Create something that can be used by thousands & 10s of thousands of people at scale
You only need 0.0000001% to thrive

what you have to create doesn’t have to be completely new
look at what’s working, add your own Uniqueness to it and solve problem at scale
the difference between millionaires and billionaires are the level of value and impact they have

you may not become a billionaire,
heck that’s a crazy goal to have methinks
but making your millions & having your peace of mind is attainable pretty much
There’s 11 million millionaires in the USA

Use rented systems to build owned assets: Turn social media into something that you can leverage upon
You don’t own Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Clubhouse. You’re simply a user

Fiat money will keep you broke; focus on liquid cashflow
Money in the bank is subject to inflation annually. You’d never get rich keeping your money in the bank
Send your money on errands and keep it moving
It’s like water, when left stagnant it stinks. Direct it’s flow

Make money everyday; that’s the cheat code.
Majority of people get only one credit alerts or deposits monthly & so many debits
Look at your financial statements monthly, are you getting paid more times than you pay out?
If not, that needs to be fixed ASAP

Focus on creating than you consume; only 2% create & that’s why wealth is in the hands of a few
If you can spend 2 hours watching a movie on Netflix, you can spend time creating something that earns you cashflow outside your time

You won’t be friends with majority of those you’ve been with in the last 5 years
Don’t be surprised, you’d lose majority of these folks when your lifestyle changes
To build the life you need, you need to let go of the life you currently have

Learn about building systems; how hard you work doesn’t equal how much you get paid
You need moving parts that can get you the outcome you seek without you being actively a part of it
This includes people and softwares that are readily available

Get a professional to handle your taxes, you don’t want Uncle Sam coming after your ass cause of stupid mistakes

You don’t have to spend 40 years before you can make a million dollars
but you do have to spend more time iterating on what you’re doing than most people will commit to

Your 10,000th iteration might be your big break so keep going

Get ready to be hated, I learned this from Grant Cardone.
You’d be loved by some, hated by many just don’t let it get to you
A solid book that helped me with this is “The power to be disliked by Ichiro Kishimi”

Saturation is a myth; if so many fishermen are visiting a sea to fish, it only means there are enough fishes to go round
All you need is your own unique mechanism, enough story telling and a solid marketing strategy
The best doesn’t always get paid the most,

No matter how great you are, if no one knows you it’s a complete waste of time
No one cares until you’re all over their faces
So increase the echo you make into the world

The FTC cracks down on unethical folks in the internet space
don’t sell pipe dreams, build a cult like brand with solid customer experience; that’s the key

Money doesn’t respect good or bad, it only goes to those who can actually multiply it
Contrary to what you might have learned growing up
Money has no conscience, it’s neither evil nor good
It’s solely attracted to where it gets to serve and multiply

Wealth isn’t a Zero Sum Game; because someone is winning doesn’t mean you can’t win. It only shows you what’s possible
Focus on your own race and seek collaborations instead of competition
No one loses in a game of wealth, you only learn

Free information can only get you so far; in the end you need access to structured information from folks who’ve done it over and again
