Keep Betting on Yourself

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 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 Friday.

Friday Cogitations
As the week winds down, Friday Cogitations invites you to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and shape your future through the lens of faith, hope, and your unique journey.
Hi Reader! We officially entered the last quarter of 2026 yesterday. I don’t know about you, but my mind is in this reflective, planning phase where I’m thinking of all I can and want to achieve this year before 2027. And once again I land on the same thing: what’s the one thing I can control? My actions. I can’t exactly decide when I’ll cross certain milestones like becoming a millionaire even though it’s been my goal for 3 years now (Oh Goddddd!😭). But there’s something I can control - how...
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...
