Men,
Most men are broke and broken.
Not because they are lazy, but because they are driven by lust instead of ambition.
They are horny for pleasure but never hungry for success.
Change your appetite. Change your life.

END OF THE MONTH is a MAN's most difficult day:
"Hello Sir, rent for this month is due."
"Boss, the tax amnesty ends today."
"Hello, Sir, I will not come to work tomorrow unless you send me fare."
"Hi Bro, don't forget. The event is tomorrow."
"Hello cousin, my son was admitted to university. I spent everything. I don't have fare back home. Help me, please."
"Jemo, someone has my money. Send me something small; I am being held at the Police Station for a traffic offence. If he refunds it, I will refund you. Please."
"Boss, I know I have your money. But I commit to pay. My wife is going into labour. Just help me with something on top of the other one; I will refund."
"Dear Customer, this is a polite reminder about your loan."
"Your post-paid line has been barred due to insufficient funds."
"James, your father is going for dialysis tomorrow. We hope to be at the hospital at 4 am."
"Hello, parent, Jayden is sitting his exams this month. Prepare for prayer day and to gift his teachers."
"Baba Jay, the tokens."
"Baba Jay, the gas."
"Baba Jay, my mother's consecration in the church women's guild is this Sunday. This is your mother-in-law, for heaven's sake!"
"Brethren, our church's hotel project fundraiser is next week."
"JAMES, your Online transaction of USD 81.76 has been declined on your card ending **42 at Truecaller due to insufficient funds."
Steven Uber: I tried to call you at 30-09-26 13:41 but you were not reachable.
Amos Mechanic: I tried to call you at 30-09-26 13:43 but you were not reachable.
"Please call me. Thank you. Everybody wins!"
"You, James, I will not remind you about your child's upkeep. Behave, or I will tell your wife. Nonsense!"
"Failed. Insufficient funds in your M-PESA account as well as Fuliza M-PESA to send KSH340.00. Your M-PESA balance KSH0.00."
It is tough being a MAN.
Grace be upon you, the MAN.
Learn to be strict with yourself.
Your time.
Your resources.
Your business.
Your discipline.
The moment you become mediocre, others will take advantage of you and mess you up.
It is better to be called a bully because being afraid to say NO will cost you a lot.
The most critical leadership skill is EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ):
When to speak.
When to be silent.
Whom to speak to and whom to avoid.
The two most important pillars of EQ:
• SELF-AWARENESS
• SELF-REGULATION
The most important foundation of EQ:
• SELF-DISCIPLINE
Live within your means.
Be content with what you have.
Don't try to live other people's lives.
Don't borrow a loan to buy a car just because a neighbour has a car or because you want to impress people.
Don't buy an M-KOPA phone. Save and buy.
Be at peace with yourself.
In central, governors get applauded for building and equipping hospitals, markets, roads, piped water, and building schools. That is the minimum threshold. In Nyanza, we cheer them for useless activism and attending rallies. Ten years from now we will cry about Kikuyu privilege.
@cathy_mutuku I heard a road is being constructed from statehouse to link to Expressway direct. It seems Ruto doesn't want to interact with common citizens along the city highway
The wealthiest people in the world:
75% of them are entrepreneurs.
15% of them are investors.
7% are athletes.
3% are artists.
None of them are employees.
A salary cannot leverage you into self-sufficiency.
A salary takes you through a journey of 5 phases:
Phase 1: Earning
Phase 2: Spending
Phase 3: Borrowing
Phase 4: Planning
Phase 5: Budgeting
Once you cross Phase 5, which comes after years of being broke despite earning, you cross to 2 more phases
Phase 6: Saving
Once you cross Phase 6, which requires a lot of maturity, self-satisfaction, sacrifice and discipline,
You unlock Phase 7: INVESTING.
This is where you either become a business owner or remain an employee forever.
