I fucking love humans. Imagine the shit we’d come up with if we didn’t have to please shareholders.

There’s this trend of recent graduates projecting themselves as thought leaders or industry experts in their field.

Personal branding is great, but don’t rush the process. Building the foundation is key

[Subomi @subomiplumptre]

I've built enough companies to consult on start-up operations in my sleep.

When I'm contracted to audit the operations of a company, four things tell me everything I need to know:

- How documents are filed
- How deliverables are tracked
- How KPIs are measured
- How decisions are procured

Successful companies get two things right - sales and operations.

The CEO or founder initially takes the lead on both items. But as the company grows, someone else has to handle one.

It takes a certain type of person to lead operations - they must be obsessive about details, order and outcomes. Stop being sentimental about who you place in this role. You can't "manage" operations.

Prioritize your operational structure this year. The first step is to get your company's scorecard on the four things I mentioned, and to assess the personality of your current operations lead.

Mid 30s and above
Pls take a look

“I'm 59 — if you're 40, read this...

I used to think my 40s would be the crescendo. That by then, everything would have clicked.

Now I know: life gets richer with each decade — not because it gets easier, but because you stop pretending it should be.

At 59, I’ve raised capital in boardrooms and in DMs, sat across from founders burning bright with ideas and executives burning out from chasing the wrong ones. I've built companies, merged them, shut some down, and rebuilt again.

So if you're in your 40s — still playing the long game — here’s what I’d tell you:

1. Nobody worth impressing cares about your job title.
C-suite, Managing Partner, President — those are costumes. Useful, but temporary. What matters is what you build, what you solve, and who you elevate along the way.

2. Win fast by asking better questions.
I’ve closed more deals with curiosity than bravado. The smartest people I’ve ever met are the ones who ask more questions than they answer.

3. The sooner you master capital, the freer you are.
Understand money — how to raise it, move it, protect it, and grow it — and you stop being trapped by other people’s timelines.

4. Hire people who care more about outcomes than optics.
Don’t chase flashy résumés. Look for people who take pride in making things work. Quiet doers outperform loud observers every time.

5. You won’t remember the win — you’ll remember who stuck around when you were losing.
Business is lonely at the top — unless you build a circle of people who care more about the mission than the scoreboard.

6. Learn how to tell your story before someone else tells it for you.
Whether raising capital or recruiting a co-founder, your narrative is your leverage. Sharpen it. Own it. Repeat it.

7. Data is everywhere. Understanding is rare.
Collecting data is easy. Interpreting it is hard. Monetizing it? That’s an art. If you can do the third one, you’re not just employable — you’re indispensable.

8. The right partnerships change everything.
Every big leap I’ve made came from a relationship, not a transaction. Treat people like long-term assets, not short-term levers.

9. Never confuse momentum with progress.
Busy isn’t the same as valuable. If you’re sprinting without strategy, you’re just getting tired — not richer, not wiser.

10. Eventually, you become the thing you tolerate.
If you're surrounded by mediocrity, cynicism, or chaos — it will soak into you. Choose better rooms, better partners, and better standards.

You don’t need to peak early. You need to last.
Build your story brick by brick — with integrity, conviction, and guts. There’s plenty of time to win if you’re playing the right game.”

I notice that when Lebanese and Indians run businesses like restaurants or supermarkets, the proprietors are there 24/7, with an army of their relatives or countrymen. They also seem to run the businesses with an iron fist. Strangely, their staff stay with them for years! Why?🤷🏽‍♂️

@Wescolowiska555 @mrbayoa1 Respect your thoughts however saying every household has a professor is a lie. 🙅‍♂️

[Adejo🌍 @OgbeJoseph]

@Wescolowiska555 @mrbayoa1 Stop saying what you don’t know. there is nothing like in every household blablaba.
Extreme poverty characterized with high mediocrity runs that state. I lived there close to 5 years & still visit often. Some of dem are well read, bt they end up becoming professors to Osun state.

@toyosiabolarin There is something called time and chance. Each day I pray, I ask for the grace to be at the good side of both. I still think Banky should work well with the elected. It’s a vision for a new Nigeria not party in our generation.
