“How do you work under pressure?”
Please don’t answer things like:
“I don’t feel pressure,”
“I’m very chill,”
or
“When I’m stressed, I take a nap first.”
These kinds of answers make you look unprepared and unaware of how real workplaces function.
Here’s how to answer it properly 👇
✅ Example of a strong answer:
“I see pressure as a normal part of working life, and I treat it as a chance to show my resilience and problem-solving skills.
For example, at my previous workplace, we once had a very tight deadline for a major project. To handle the pressure, I started by planning everything clearly, prioritizing tasks, and organizing the timeline. I also communicated openly with my team to make sure everyone understood their responsibilities.
Even though the deadline was intense, I managed to deliver the project on time and with high quality. I believe staying calm, communicating clearly, and managing tasks strategically are the keys to performing well under pressure.”
✅ Tip for candidates:
Feel free to use this structure and add your own real experience. Interviewers want to understand how you behave during stressful situations, not whether you “don’t feel pressure.”

HR: "We can't offer the salary you're asking for."
Most candidates continue to answer:
"Oh okay..."
"Any amount also can..."
"Other companies can give..."
Let's not do that. Instead of reacting emotionally or giving in, try a smarter approach.
Ask this one powerful question:
"I understand. Just to clarify, is the limitation because of a fixed budget for this role or is it based on my current experience?"
With this one question, you can find out what the real obstacles are.
After that, it's easy for you to negotiate more strategically.
If the problem is budget:
"If the basic salary is fixed, can we explore other benefits like remote options, allowances or maybe a signing bonus to help balance the gap?"
If because of experience:
"I see. Would you be open to revisiting the salary after 6 months based on my performance?"
Can you see the difference? From 'NO' to a solution-focused conversation.
If this helps, share it so more people can learn!

I pray that all of us are blessed enough to afford hobbies. Not drinking or night clubbing. But real hobbies that rejuvenate the soul, the body and the mind. Hobbies like travel, sports, fitness, cooking/baking etc etc
For me, I want to travel a good one. Resume reading books that are not law books. I want to start attending concerts. I want to have slow breakfast in a quiet serine garden and easy lunch with a glass of wine somewhere with slow rhumba muzik. I want soft hobbies and quiet times. 2026 is the year I’ll have a person to enjoy all these with. Hallelujah.🙏🏾
No matter how bad your own life gets please don’t be the person who cannot hold space for other people’s joy. Fight that thing. It’s how you’ll stay human.
Hello guys. My heart is breaking as I type this yet again. I have received an unfortunate case of a 6 year old girl that has been defiled in Takaba Mandera. The incidence happened at the local dugsi where an assistant maalim defiled the young girl.
The perpetrator is also a minor and is in grade 9, he’s 17 years. His name is Adan Mohammed Sheikh. The wazee have come together again trying to silence this case telling the family that it won’t go anywhere since the perpetrator is a minor. They’re doing their best to settle this outside court.
The Takaba police station haven’t yet arrested the perpetrator letting him roam around freely while telling the family to arrest him themselves. It’s obvious how rape and defilement has been so normalized to the point that the police wait for the maslaha system to solve these cases. Wallahi you will all answer to Allah on how you have treated children in these NEP counties. These people do not care about children my heart is bleeding. By Allah, the perpetrator will pay and I’m sure the victim is more than one. Every single day, it’s something they have normalized but I will die first before I let another case be solved through the maslaha. I’m looking for the perpetrator’s picture and everyone involved will pay.
Do the only one thing that will push everything else into place. Everything in life has the one thing that pushes everything in place.

With money it is selling a product or services to as much people as possible.
You find what your one thing is, and you do it like a robot with a lot of effort over time.
You are working hard, but the money is not showing.
Some days you make money, some days you don’t. You wish you had more power over your income.
…something that you can do, so you can finally be able to steadily save for that plan you have.
I think in frameworks, so I’ll try to show you a little framework that will help you to navigate this problem.
Income has a formula. It is a simple framework
It means that the first element to think of when you want to fix your income is What the heck do I sell.
You need an offer. That is the oNLY way to legally (and sometimes illegally) make money - you sell stuff
There are ONLY two things that anyone can sell in this life. Time & Stuff.
You sell time when you offer a service or work at your job. You sell stuff when you sell products.
Simple principle, it looks obvious - but people miss this part. They rather beg.
When you decide on an Offer - that is the easy part - the next is TRAFFIC.
Traffic is: how many people see your offer. If nobody knows you exist, how will they buy?
The goal is to SWING for as massive traffic and attention as you can muster.
Again, it seems obvious - but tell me why people rather sell to their whatsapp status instead of friggin running some ads.
Then tell me why people want to run an ad with N5,000 when more money will get more eye balls?
Then tell me why people don’t get attention in ANY FORM and EXPECT to make money?
My point is - go and learn how to get some traffic. Learn Facebook ads…use it, swing hard.
However, getting traffic is one thing. The next thing you need is CONVERSION. People have to buy.
Conversion is: how many of those people you attract that actually take the offer you are selling.
If 100 people walk past your shop and only 2 enter and buy, that’s a 2% conversion. Improve it to 4% and you’ve doubled your sales without spending a dime more.
The one that helps conversion is sales copy. Go and learn how to write sales copy…and webinars.
The next one is PRICE. This one is obvious.
Price is: how much you charge.
Selling a product for ₦25k and selling a laptop for ₦350k takes the same energy.
Just a different market.
Money is perception. Someone with just ₦100k in their account will think a ₦7M car is very expensive.
Another person with ₦100M in their account will think that the car is cheap.
So price does not matter, what matters is who you are selling to and the value they attribute to what you are selling.
No matter how nice cold stone is, and how much people love it - my grandmother will NEVER pay for it…because she thinks it is nonsense.
So slam your price…the people that can afford it will come.
Then the next is Frequency.
Frequency is: how often the same person buys again. The richest businesses don’t rely on one-off customers.
Look at Apple. They sell you iPhone, then sell you charger…and apple music…and cord…and all what nots
So save your customers’ details then offer them subscriptions, refills, or upsells.
Income = Offer x Traffic x Conversion x Price x Frequency
Now you understand that framework - what you do is move through it like a map.
First you ask: What offer will i sell?
How do i get traffic for it?
What do i need to say to that traffic to make them buy
How do I sell at a great price and how do I increase the frequency of purchase.
This is the formula. If you don’t know yet what to sell that will fit this formula, see my pinned tweet
The longer you do something, the better you get at it. The better you get at it, the more you succeed at it.
…however, to get better at things faster so you can succeed at it faster - you need to collapse time.
I’ll explain
Take antibiotics for instance. Many years ago something as simple as diarrhea can kill someone in days.
The first antibiotics (penicillin) took 20 years of iteration to make. Today Antibiotics can be made in days. Which means that the time it took to create antibiotics has been collapsed.
Now you understand the collapse of time, how can you then apply it in your life?
Again, look at the invention of penicillin. Why is time collapsed in its case - simple; someone figured it out? Then everyone now knew how to do it.
Therefore, to collapse time - you find someone who has spent time already doing what you want to do then you learn what they know and completely eliminate that time they spent to figure it out
That is how you collapse time in your favor & exactly why you pay for coaching
Baby Alex Mutunga - 20months
Kambu, Makueni
Zipporah Mutheu woke up on 28th May last year as usual, while doing her maths she realized her local cereal shop owner still owed her 1455/- for the last six months. Instead of being paid she was met with insults and was chased away. The shop owner reported her at the local police claiming to be owed 10,000/-
The police came for her at her workplace, with her accuser Jennifer Muthiani. She was carrying her baby Alex on her back. On her arrest the policeman hit her with a baton , pushed her and she fell on the counter. She was forced to get on a bike to the station. At the station, she was slapped three times and unfortunately one of the slaps landed on the baby and he fell on the floor.
5.00pm - The child started vomiting and convulsing. She called the Police to try to get the child to hospital
7.00pm - She begged the police to take the child to hospital
9.00pm - The cell was opened and she was told she could take the child to the hospital . He was already dead and his body was swelling. She took his body to Kambu hospital.
The postmortem found that the baby had died from the impact of the fall that cracked his head and bled internally.
Before she could bury her child, her store was broken into and all the goods and money were stolen. Her other son Ramsey was kidnapped in school, she managed to get him back. Threats started coming in. The police have never returned her Equity Paybill. Her husband said she's too stuck looking for justice and her grief was overwhelming and married someone else and moved on.
The matter was reported to IPOA, the DCI, etc and till today one year has passed and Mama Alex has never found justice. The matter has never reached court.
For September last year, she calls us every week and visits our office every month seeking justice. She had gone through continuous therapy and Ramsey is back in school after his ordeal.
We are asking for justice for Baby Alex Mutunga.
We are seeking justice on behalf of his mother Zipporah Mutheu. The police officer has never been arrested.

There's this assuring verse in Habakkuk that says, "There will come a time when your tears will fall, not because of your troubles, but because God has answered your prayers."
on my 26th birthday, i wrote I Took A Pill in Ibiza...11 years ago. The song became popular several years after i wrote it.
This year I celebrated my 37th birthday. I feel proud to look at the song lyrics and know that NONE of them are true anymore. I've grown into a completely new man...one that i'm proud of. check this out...
