Hi Reader! There’s a science to things and nothing is really random. If you want achieve certain kinds of results, you need to learn how to trigger such outcomes. Now, you might not know exactly when you’ll get the result but being an ardent student means that you are constantly learning and implementing your findings until you discover what works for you. This is a belief I now hold. It really doesn’t matter what your goal is. Whether it’s building a successful business, family or career,...

Hi Reader! Sometime last week, I was talking to a friend, and the conversation reminded me of how lonely sticking to a path can get, whether it’s starting a business, growing a brand, or making a healthy lifestyle change. When you start, you might be surrounded by seemingly enthusiastic folks who say they want the same thing, but as the path’s demands grow and its rewards delay, you’ll realize that your passions, convictions, and priorities are sometimes just yours. You might be the only one...

Hi Reader! I remember having secondary school classmates who knew how to draw so well. I mean, my drawing wasn’t so horrible, but it was far from great. Even though it was for biology class, not art class, I bet they got extra points for their perfect skeleton diagram. Anyway, thanks be to God, I’m not pursuing, nor do I intend to pursue, a career in fine arts, amen?😂 But that experience and many others made me believe that people are naturally gifted at certain things - it just comes easily...

Hi Reader! Are you familiar with potential and kinetic energy? Potential energy is the amount of energy stored in a body and kinetic energy is the amount of energy a body has due to its motion. While every human is a store of innate value, not a lot of people realize their potential and convert their innate abilities into desirable value. I’m reminded of the Cristiano and Messi comparison. There’s always this talk about the former being more hardworking and the latter being more talented....

Hi Reader! If you missed last week’s piece, check it out here. This is a follow-up. Anybody with a conscience, no matter how wealthy or successful, has sacrificed money for impact. This is another reason why I believe money shouldn’t be a human’s sole motivation. Everyone has a problem they can solve. So we can impact or impart others by offering answers and solutions using our knowledge, skills, experience, and influence. Problems and unanswered questions exist in different forms, they exist...

Hi Reader! “Money isn’t everything!” When some people see or hear a comment like this, they have an argument ready. “But money buys you freedom, earns you respect, gives you this, gives you that,” and I'm like, hold on. I said it isn't everything. I didn't say it's nothing or that it’s not important. I want things/experiences that money can get too. I just don't believe it should be the sole, principal motivation of an adult human. A while ago, there were some comments or debates about "Olodo...

Hi Reader! Better late than never so here goes this week's piece that should've arrive yesterday.🙈 I remember receiving several teachings on "Time Management" in church conferences over the years. It makes more sense now why it was such a recurring topic. Time (at least on earth) is a limited currency and nothing makes this more obvious than navigating adulthood. If there's one thing becoming an adult does, it shows you how precious your 'limited' time is because it never seems to be enough...

Hi Reader! Have you ever felt guilty about something you did or didn’t do? I know I have. It's normal to feel guilty when you violate your own standards or convictions. But when it lingers for weeks, days, and months, I liken it to the emotional equivalent of being stuck in a confined space without fresh air. You feel down, ashamed, embarrassed. You wonder what people might think of you if only they knew. And for those who found you out, you wonder if they secretly judge you. (Well, they...

Hi Reader! Today's piece is a repost from last year. “The greater the risk, the greater the reward”. That was my brother’s conclusion when we discussed Mr Mark building a platform that hadn’t existed before. I saw a video where he admitted to being shocked at the number of early sign-ups he received. But even with those numbers, it took about 3 years for them to become profitable. Sure, he probably had some financial resources and support to pull that off. But that’s not what I’m pulling out...
