Teaching you to win at life & wealth through ideas & frameworks: Self-Knowledge • World Knowledge • Point of Leverage
Author || Business Strategist || Trainer
Most intelligent people are losing in the game of life and business because they are not aware of the rules of the game even though they have talent, skill and intelligence.
For example,
Rule 1: Talent and skill are not enough to make you money
They must be transformed into value. Value that is beneficial to your audience (solve their pain) such that they willingly want to buy what you are offering to them.
If you are a talented writer but your ideas are not packaged as values that benefit your readers, making life easier for them, they will not want to buy what you have to offer and this is not a skill issue. It is a failure in value creation.
Even if you're a genius, you must learn about how this whole game works so your genius can profit you.
The Fundamentals:
Psychology shapes behavior.
Behavior shapes decisions.
Decisions shape outcomes.
If you don't understand human nature, you will struggle to understand humans, business and how to sell.
If you don't understand perception, you will never get branding right.
If you don't understand value, you'll struggle to create wealth.
I will be writing about:
• Psychology.
• Wealth.
• Branding.
• Discernment.
• Human Nature.
• Self sovereignty.
My goal is simple:
Explain the game of life and business through frameworks.
If these ideas interest you, follow along.

Most people give in to the temptation of hoping & wishing that things get better.
But the willingness to strategize & stick to the plan that will get them their desired result is lacking.
What is faith if it's not the decision & action you take based on what you deeply believe?
How to make money on the Internet:

I subribed for X Premium but I am yet to see it reflect on my account. I subribed since yesterday.

The fathers had a lot of personal agency, but little knowledge to give excellent finesse to the outcome of their personal agency.
The children had knowledge, but their personal agency was depleted by unlimited distractions.
The Stoics have a saying:
"Say who you want to be, then do what you have to do."
The essence of reading and self-education should be that you are trying to get the tools and intelligence that are needed to become who you said you will be.
Don't get trapped in the loop of continuous learning that never leads to progress, to self-sovereignty.
Always remember the essence of what you are doing.

I love God. I love it that I can draw my sense of identity from him. It feels so powerful particularly in a world that is actively trying to make you feel helpless.
It helps if you stack yourself with skills. Make it easy for people to work with you. Learn how to talk softly with people such that they enjoy talking with you.
Nobody will reward you for being intelligent or for having potentials.
They will The reason you give authors your money is because they packaged their ideas into books; they have essentially analyze patterns of how to things works, synthesized it and put it in a form of a put for you to read.
That is using intelligence to create value.
Use what you have to create what people want desperately, that they will pay you for.
— Precious Akpofa.
How to make money:
Use your genius to create value that solves a real problem for people who are willing to pay you for the solution.
Genius → Value → Problem Solved → Willing Buyer → Money
That’s it.
Your intelligence is not the money; your skill is not the money either. They are raw materials.
The money comes when you transform what you know or can do into something that produces a benefit someone values.
An intelligent writer who only writes what he enjoys may stay broke because he is not obeying the economics of value.

@DentesLeo The easiest thing to do in business is put so much attention on business and neglect the fact that business exists because of people.
Beyond branding, players must pay attention to
Demand, supply. Needs, wants. Zeightist, perception.
They are whispering the human factor.
Saving the world is an honorable thing to do, but you can't do that if you don't save yourself first. But saving yourself is not so you become selfish. It is so that you have something to pour out from.
Fill, then pour.
Heal, then serve.
Become, then give.
Without this, you will be heading slowly for self destruction.
Find your source, fill yourself, save yourself, then save others.

When people speak, they usually speak from their perspective and experiences. They may have experienced failure or seen a loved one fail badly, and then use that sad experience to infer what could happen in the future.
Listening isn't entirely bad, learn from it if you want to, but you cannot let their sad experiences overshadow make you fearful.
No risk, no reward!
Do not complicate this:
If you want to go far,
Settle with who wants to go far.
If you want to settle,
Settle with who wants to settle.
Class dismissed!
