I have tried my best to advice a lot of people in the creative industry. I see many of you sitting on the kind of lifetime opportunity for permanent financial freedom then piss it away through poor financial strategy, lack of commercial instinct and long term planning.
If you’re a creative and you make N100,000,000 in a single year the worst thing you could ever do is to go buy an expensive car.

A community-led campaign will always outdo one-off “influencer” videos
Your first investor as an African founder won't be from a cold email.
It'll be from a warm intro.
Focus on building relationships and the investment will follow.
