Which of these tools have you used before?
I saw a man selling superglue in traffic.
I watched different people selling in traffic. Some sold bottled water, some sold drinks, some sold fruits like grapes and apples, some sold mirrors, some sold car flags.
Two people caught my attention. One was selling remotes, the other was selling superglue.
Remove emotions from this.
These two are doing a type of business that can keep them broke.
Superglue is not a need in traffic. It is not a daily necessity. It is not something people randomly see and feel compelled to buy.
Yes, there are impulse buyers, but even impulse buyers are unlikely to buy superglue in traffic.
Is the man working hard?
Yes. Standing under the sun all day is hard work.
But hard work alone does not guarantee good income.
Those selling water are selling what people already need. In traffic, people are thirsty. People are looking for drinks, snacks, and sometimes food.
That is why they sell faster.
Food sellers even benefit more from impulse buying. Someone may not plan to eat, but once they see food, they buy.
Now think about superglue.
Low demand in that environment. Low price. Low turnover.
That combination makes it difficult to make good money.
Sometimes, trying to be different will lead you faster to poverty.
The superglue seller might think people are already selling water, let me sell something unique so I can stand out
But he is standing out in the wrong way.
This is the mistake many people make when choosing a hustle.
Not every hustle will lift you out of poverty. Some will keep you stuck in it.
Before you start selling anything, ask yourself:
Is this what people around me already want?
Am I selling in the right place?
Can this product move fast?
Does it have enough demand?
Don’t just sell anything.
Sell what people are already looking for.
Find a problem and let your product be the solution.
If you are broke, like really broke, trying to make money online might frustrate you.
If you barely have money to eat, survival becomes your biggest distraction.
And the truth is making money online is rarely a quick fix.
Most times, you need weeks or months to learn a skill, practice it, and market it properly before seeing real results.
When you’re worried about your next meal, your mind becomes restless.
You start jumping from one opportunity to another looking for fast cash.
Today it’s crypto.
Tomorrow it’s dropshipping.
Next week it’s affiliate marketing.
Not because you’re lazy or not smart enough, you're simply under pressure.
And pressure makes patience difficult.
If you’re currently in this situation, do this:
Have two hustles.
1. A survival hustle
This hustle is for food, transport, and basic bills.
It could be:
Selling thrift (okrika)
Selling akara in your area
A labour job
Teaching in a private school
Freelance gigs you can get quickly
Any honest work that helps you survive
This hustle should be mentally cheap.
You need something that pays the bills without draining all your mental energy.
2. A wealth building hustle
This is the skill or business that can change your financial future.
Maybe:
Copywriting
Graphic design
Video editing
Sales
Tech
Content creation
Digital marketing
Any high income skill or business with long term potential
This one may not pay immediately.
But if you stay consistent, it can create the kind of income your survival hustle may never provide.
When food is no longer your biggest worry:
You think better
You make better decisions
You stop chasing every shiny opportunity
You can actually focus long enough to master something valuable
Trying to force immediate income from a skill you just started learning can frustrate you.
Give yourself time to grow.
And please learn something with strong earning potential.
Something that can realistically earn you at least N500,000 monthly if you become really good at it.
Lastly, give yourself grace.
Your life is not behind.
Survive first.
Then build.
Then scale.
That order matters.

Want to grow your business? Spend less time in gossip circles and more time around people discussing money and opportunities.
Want to save money? Stop following every soft-life trend you see on Instagram and TikTok.
Want to stop overspending? Avoid hanging around people whose lifestyle pressures you to spend.
Want to read more books? Keep books around you and reduce mindless scrolling apps.
Want to grow on social media? Surround yourself with creators who are actively creating.
Want to wake up early? Stop sleeping at 2 a.m. every night and keep your phone away from your bed.
Want to network more? Attend places/events where the right people gather.

Want to reduce screen time? Delete apps that consume most of your attention.

Set up your environment to support your growth. Success becomes easier when your environment stops working against you.

@josephfcox Please I need help. My @Google account was hacked last Friday.
