Hello, X! I’m Funmi Richards. I ran away from you a few years ago; I am back now with more stories, questions, and curiosity. I'm exploring #Africa, #tech, communications, culture, #financialwellness, #travel, and the people shaping what’s possible. Be kind 🙃, but come along.

@iamdanzor_ I am!!! I recall my dad calling me to ask about this a few years ago, when I hadn't stepped out for a month during the summer break from school.

The best way to increase your income is to increase the person earning it. Become too valuable to overlook.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@teesmmm True that! He would have had a higher probability of growing. We lose opportunities we don't even attempt.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

#Communications, #PR, and #reputation matter too, but none of them can compensate indefinitely for weak foundations.

Build thoughtfully. Communicate strategically. Grow sustainably.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

Almost everyone I meet is a #founder; it is a #pandemic, really, not the number of people #startingcompanies.
The growing pressure to look like a growing company before building the things that allow one to grow.

More content. More ads. More followers. Continued in the thread...

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

Meanwhile:
Is the product working?
Do customers stay?
Can the operation handle growth?
Does the business model actually work?
Do people trust you?
Marketing matters. But attention is an accelerator, not an engine.

@IfeKrawn Wow, getting monetized in 5 weeks?? That's huge; congratulations. I have a YouTube channel, but I haven't met the requirements to get monetized yet. But this is good inspiration; thank you for sharing.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@teesmmm @video_rebirth Oh this is good! Well done 👍🏽

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@tunde_atoyebi1 Thank you, Boss 🙏🏽.

One thing I've learned from working in #communications:

The problem isn't always that people aren't listening.

Sometimes, the #brand hasn't figured out what it actually wants people to understand, believe, or do.

This is the gap that good communications should aim to fill.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@tonyhenandez790 Their flaws and foibles. Like how random is it that Kambili was in love with a priest in Purple Hibiscus?

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@BrownBehaviour Wow! That’s huge! Congratulations and it gets better from here.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

@Tee_Mementos is your guy if you haven’t already found someone.

[SPINALL @SPINALL]

Actually, I’m looking for someone with an artistic eye who can shoot & edit creatively on Iphone. Fast, ready to travel worldwide. Phone provided. Job opportunity - send your work.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]

Why did I think this was cake 🤔??

[Roli @GamingNaRoli]

My fat ass thought that was cake.

@jbmillenial Living in Nigeria might have working against your applications. I wonder what issues they encountered with the previous Nigerians they have worked with. E wo Chi M.

[Funmi_Richards @Funmi_Richards]
