Friday night out with friends (Heineken hour)
I worked 9 – 5 for more than 25 years and now learning how to build business online.
While doing 9 – 5, I failed uncountable number of times.
For 7+ years with goverment, no promotion – I didn’t belong.
But I loved my job and poured my heart into it.
I worked with some of the poorest peasant farmers in Sokoto State.
(now Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara).
They taught me a lesson in resiliency and hope.
Though I was stagnating, I was adding value to myself.
(Borrowed books from The British Council). Got ACIB. MBA
Along the way, something clicked and I finally crossed over to the private sector.
Nigeria’s most innovative bank at the time.
I was in my game – as the training arrowhead.
Today:
I own a house.
I have children.
(+Grand children)
I understand love.
I wake up at 5:00am.
I know how to say yes.
I have a bedtime routine.
I know what my end goal is.
I take 10,000 steps every day.
I do free training every month.
I always have a plan…I follow it.
I traveled to 35 countries of the world.
I know how much I’ll earn next month.
I read 10 books unfailingly every month.
I say yes to interesting meetings with C-Suite execs.
I feel comfortable calling myself “Book Connoisseur”
I became friends with founders and multimillionaires.
I read Alex Hormozi’s and Gary Vee’s best-selling books.
I learned digital marketing and started making money online.
I know where I’ll be next year and the year after and the year after.
When I’m 80 years old I know my life will be 100 times better than I imagined when I left my small village of Anua.
(Uyo, Akwa Ibom State).
And in many ways, it’s getting even better.
Because I am…
– Happy.
– Contented
– Fit and healthy.
– Financially free (almost).
And more importantly,
I have more than 20,000 ex-students and about 1000+ call me “The Coach”.
This is my word for you:
1. Ignore 99.99% of what people tell you.
2. Build the life that makes YOU happy today.
3. Not the life others think you should have tomorrow.
Follow no one, not even me, follow your heart.
Because only God knows what’s best for you.
