It’s Business O’Clock

Once you finish school in Nigeria, your top priority should be gathering as much money as you can. There’s no time for waiting around — you need to spend every moment either learning or earning. There’s no in-between. Every second should be dedicated to one of these two pursuits.

Make the most of every moment — don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. Create them. Bargain your way through every situation. Nigeria is tough, and no one is going to make life easier for you. That’s why it’s your responsibility to get started on securing your financial future as early as possible. The sooner you start gathering the funds you need for both now and later, the better.

You’re here to live life, and you don’t want it to be hard — especially not due to factors beyond your control. Even if external influences set you back for a while, don’t let it last too long. If it happens, it’s because you still have some basic skills or value-adding abilities to learn. Once you become skilled and valuable in your field, you’ll have a say in everything that affects you. Until then, stay focused, keep learning, and work toward that level.

Your goal should be to grow quickly, gather every penny, and build business structures and equity that can handle any financial need. You can’t afford to spend recklessly now and struggle later — you must plan for the future. Ensure your offspring won’t face financial hardships by planning far ahead. Peace in your life is often tied to your earning power.

Your earning power comes from your ability to learn, invest, and grow your assets — all of which depend on making the most of your time. Don’t rest until you’ve achieved your goals. Relax when necessary, but stay driven toward your priorities.

Your agenda for your life must be fulfilled. Learn, then start earning. Learn to earn better, then invest and earn even more. Buy assets, earn, and repeat this process.

Life doesn’t have to be hard — take control and make it work for you.
