Beautiful!

Your 14 reactions came in a little late, I was retiring to bed, it’s been a really long day. But it’s so beautiful to see, this puts my deduction in the fact that at least 10% of the persons on this channel are following every letter written here and this is beyond exception, AWESOME!

Now I have figured out some things and I have considered many other amazing things, of which one of them is THIS GROUP OR CHANNEL. My fastest rough ideas and discoveries are immediately dropped here and believe me, for many persons here, it’s one of the most beautiful things you can imagine. You have a first-receiver advantage! And that is good because it means what works for me, will most likely reach you first.

Number 1: Time is Ticking & Tocking — It’s ticking and subtle like a snake such that yesterday you were 19 today you are 25! And tomorrow you’d most likely be 35, then 45, with a car, if you can afford one, 2 children, and a wife, both of you barely able to pass each day. 6 years back I was able to tinker and figure out certain thought processes that gave me an edge and funded many years of learning ahead. The opportunities that came from my tinkering and stumbling on larger opportunities gave me the life my parent could not have afforded me. It allowed me to grow up learning like a ‘rich boy’ at least above the average standard in this low-earning country. Mind you it’s easier to stumble on BIG opportunities if you STAY WHERE THEY PASS!

Here’s it before I had that leverage of a paid opportunity, I had a leverage of Ability. What is THAT ONE thing I can do naturally and exceptionally well and I can do for free? Mind you, everyone has something like that! For me that was MANAGEMENT! Ah, it came naturally, I love the backstage, making ideas happen. Either it’s me helping an Imam ensure lots of people keep coming for Prayers, which I have never done, or it means assisting a Pastor so much that his audience became massive in my shared time with him, which I honestly did ( I’m grateful ). I figured my Leverage of Ability — Advantage — and I served with it, in a line that could bring more opportunities — like you intentionally stand on a train track knowing fully well that someday somehow it must pass through that track. That’s how the magic of opportunities works. SERVE with your ADVANTAGE, to OBTAIN your MOMENT and OPPORTUNITY.

That above bought me years to experiment like a child born with a silver spoon will. Oh, you can’t imagine how beautiful that is. By the time I concluded my University Education, as a Physicist, I didn't need to struggle to find my feet. Well, that’s what I’m about to talk about.

Now the years ahead; The goal is to be able to get to a time when you can have a massive — not too big though — facility of your own, well paid for, perhaps a family of yours and you can be able to decide how your time is going to be spent, because believe you me — if you are broke, someone else will determine how that time is spent for you. At least you don’t want to die of hunger, so we give you something to eat and you give us your time, a fair bargain.

Now how will it happen — I’m going to give you this and I’ll be off to bed, gotta rest, but I hate resting ( tick-tock ) — this is it, you need to OWN A SHARE of something that is Selling and Making money. I can’t go into the bulk of its details but the idea is, that you need to be a part of something that is making money and that you can DECIDE how much to EARN from. Upon that rule stands your Use of Time! Without that rule, you’d rush off to work at 6 am and retire at 1 am, then repeat the circle — ask Lagosians, they are the ones living the real life.

Owning a share in something that sells well will take a good dose of work and investment because unless that thing works and sells well, there is no business. EQUITY makes RICH! And I kid you not, it takes an average of 7–10 years to work this level out because it will save you 40 years and perhaps a lifetime. You have to be a deciding part of a business making money and then over time a good ton of it. And finding such a business is kinda hard but easy if you train yourself to FIND GOOD IDEAS for what to sell. Then you keep Selling and keep investing into such till it can take over from your employers and you become the boss of your time.

Now I’m not going into details of finding the ideas/things to sell, they can be hard trust me, but easier with training, I have to rest here. I’ll share the depth with those in my Group of 20 who paid for it. All I wrote here is not public, it’s only for the consumption of this channel. Voila!
