Bet On Yourself

Hi there, “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. There was a video I saw where he admitted shock at how many early sign-ups he got. 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 of this. I’m most intrigued by the desire to run towards an uncertain project with pure vision and work on it for years without generating substantial income. These days, we want to see evidence of profitability before committing to a path. “What skill will give me the most money?” “How quickly can I become a millionaire?” I understand survival and bills to sort, most of us begin our journey there. But at some point, we need to move beyond daily survival to solving problems around us and creating new expressions of value that weren’t there before. Start from your immediate community. It doesn’t have to be on a global scale to be relevant. If it’s making someone’s life better, you’re doing something right. Most people have a project or dream burning in their hearts, but “how do I know it’ll work?” keeps them stuck. You don’t. You step out and see what happens. That’s what faith means. Your world is waiting for you to manifest the dreams God has laid in your heart. You’re an answered prayer to someone. A solution they didn’t know they needed. Even if you “fail” in your attempt, you’ve learnt something. You can pick up the pieces and keep going. Bet on yourself today! Alright, that'll be all for now, until next time. Light + Increase, Osose Christabel. Question for you: What project are you going to commit to as we wrap up 2025?

Hi there! 2025 is gradually coming to a close, and it’s Thanksgiving season. Happy Thanksgiving!💃 In Nigeria, we usually celebrate Thanksgiving at church, an annual event where we thank God for the entire year. Every church chooses a specific Sunday, but it often falls in November or the first 2 weeks of December. In the spirit of giving thanks, I want to highlight a potential obstacle. When we reflect on our year, we tend to think of achievements in terms of monetary or status value. Did we...
Hi there, You know how they say comparison is the thief of joy? Well, don't we know it? When we look around us, we see many amazing people. Good-looking, hardworking, successful, even people you've known for years, and they suddenly seem to be on a different level than you. Feelings of inferiority may begin to seep in. You're not alone. It's a feeling most people experience at some point because we're human. That means we often crave the good things that others have. However, it's not...
Hi there, Let’s talk about how easy it is to talk. I know this from experience. You find something interesting and exciting, you can’t stop talking about it. You talk about the book you're going to read, a course you're going to take, a new skill you’re going to learn, a strategy you wish to implement. You even post about it on socials. But days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. You find something new and inspiring to talk about. However, you either haven’t acted on your previous plans...
