20 Lessons I have learnt in my 10 years in the corporate space as a Finance Professional. This will be a long thread.

Stay tuned #CareerLessons.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

People who are not where you are, are not better than you and you are not better than them. Just appreciate yourself, love yourself, make good use of every opportunity and make good decisions.

Think about these things.
Edogbejire Ufuoma Peace

Until l leave the country (Japa). Life does not work that way and life will not wait for you.
(Equally talking to myself).

Pending when the next big thing (offer or opportunity comes), are you making good use of your current state in life?

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

Wherever you are per time is the best place to be on the face of the Earth. Where you live, worship,work etc.
Make the best use of every situation or circumstance (either good or bad). Don't say l will not do xyz until l get my next job,until l get promoted,until l get married.

@AdewuyiRoseline @egi_nupe You have said it very well. It is tied to the worth of many of us men oh if not all.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

@BukkyOA Don't mind your Sister. They say a Prophet is not valued in his home town.

People who know the value of what they are getting from you will constantly listen to you. l guess she is not an Accountant also.

Well Done Madam.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

Have you gotten a new job offer letter that 2 days to resumption, you were called to come and receive another letter that you cannot resume and this is after you have submitted your resignation letter?

Yes. l have but the gist for how l survived this will be for another day

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

@BukkyOA if he had not trained me, he would also claim he is irreplaceable.

And for someone to recommend you without your knowledge shows the level of trust and implicit confidence he has in you.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

@BukkyOA Yes. Everyone is replaceable but there are different scenarios.

My former Finance Manager before he moved to the UK trained me so well that when he was ready to resign, he recommended me to the subsidiary MD and Group MD to take his place without my knowledge.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

l just sat there laughing at the whole situation. Whatever, l love been an Accountant and if l have to choose again, l will still go for Accounting.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

As if that was no enough, another colleague said there is nothing that is being discussed that Mr. Ufuoma will always have a case study, a story or an experience to back up that story saying l will be a good lecturer or lawyer.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

A colleague in the office just said to me that l would have been a good lawyer also if l had studied law or a lecturer. l don't know what they saw oh. Even a random stranger said same to me on BRT queue 2 weeks ago that he thought l was a lawyer.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

@hedrees_ayinde @BukkyOA @hedrees_ayinde, l laugh at those ones you talked about because they don't know what they are doing. The course gan gan is where they are making their money from. Only a fool will fall for them

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

@MrOlibaba @ashiedu_victor Great to hear.

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

lt will be too late. Invest in your future now! 💼📈

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

Wisdom is the best gift I can give you, even when I don't have money to hand out.

You may see me as "too serious" right now, and that is perfectly fine.

But **15 to 20 years from now**, you will remember this warning. By then, if you do not make the right decisions today,

[Edogbejire Ufuoma(ACA) @EdogbejireUfuo2]

When our parents and pastors were advising and encouraging us to either learn a handiwork or go to school 15-20 years ago, some of us thought we were doing it for them.

Now that we are older, the difference is clear.** 🎯

I will never stop advising the young people around me.
