2 years ago, I was having a brief talk with my mentor. And he said the following.
Cbn: As you attain wealth, you should have another friend who is wealthy... And that friend should have another friend who is also wealthy. The 3 or 4 of you should focus and invest in building trust among each other. If the 3 or 4 of you can build trust, then you guys can own, build, and buy anything you want in Nigeria... As long as you guys can work and incorporate together.
Me: 🙂... You need wealth to grow larger in wealth.
Cbn: Wealth attracts wealth and you can't build it alone. This my name that is everywhere today, i carried on from where my father left and applied this same method I am teaching you today. My father taught me.
Me: How did you start... who and who did you start with?
Cbn: The people you mostly see around me today were the people I started with (Mention names).
A brought his 7m, C brought his 7m, and I brought mine. That money was a lot of money then. And we all started something together. We all loved the hospitality business, so we started from there till we got here today.
Me: Lagos?
Cbn: Abuja.
Me: I never thought of it this way.
Cbn: That is why i am talking to you... Because i need you to stop this “on my own” mentality. Trees have branches and when it is time for you to pluck from it, you pluck from every branch. That is how life should work.
Before you build wealth, connect yourself to wealth. Penetrate people who know people, and at every point, make the government your friend.
Me: The road that leads to financial stability seems like an unending journey.
Cbn: (🤣) Just ride along with “Selfless” people and the journey will be very easy. Now you should understand why I said you can't do it on your own.
You need people to grow and at the same time, people (Think of big brands and companies) need you so that they can grow. And that is how the money circulates.
Me: You attract what you are.
Cbn: Thank God you understand.
@twuyi68 @JaypeeGeneral@PeterObi@victorosimhen9 Don't worry sir make every true Nigerian wake up finish today, we are coming for you personally for this post
@Oluomoofderby You guys just respond without questions.
How were they killed.
Were they killed at once, if yes then they all stood and watch him kill them?. etc
All that is needed to finally make is a fat bag of some quality altcoin projects and patience that is needed
There is no way we gonna sell after x2 or x3. We only sell after first x100 and more
That’s how I made it in 2017 bull run, just patience and hold !
That’s also why I keep saying leverage is not truly needed and provided examples with some of the long term signals given
Example is #MASQ, already up x10 in less than a year. Guess how many x after bull market start ?
@TheoAbuAgada@Zenith4luv@PeterObi Who do think you are sir to think you can wake up from anywhere God knows and start blabing, what gave you the impetus to make such demands or is it because this man His Excellency Obi has been upright and open. Please respect your self and keep quiet.
The first time I took my husband to see my mom, she asked why I chose him, I didn’t waste time to say, “because he’s smarter than me.”
From the time I was ripe for marriage, I started telling myself and anyone who cared to listen that I don’t want to marry a businessman, especially those traders in the market. And coming from a wealthy family with most family friends being businessmen and traders, it was a tough decision to stand by. Yet, I turned down many wealthy suitors.
At some point, I nearly gave in to one that seemed educated but in our first argument, he said, “speaking big English doesn’t make you better than me, you’re not the first person that went to school.”
In that moment, he reminded me exactly why I made the decision not to marry a businessman. I took to my heels.
My hubby wasn’t rich but wasn’t poor either. He looked skinny and just started working in an oil company. We could argue about many topics and he wouldn’t feel intimidated by my intelligence. Rather he argued with facts and most times he was right.
When I shared my goals and aspirations with him even the silly ones, he found a way to bring it to life. I guess we became business partners before we became lovers.
Today, he is wealthier, more robust , more attractive and in the management team of his company. Above all, he hasn’t stopped pushing me to be the best at what I do.
While marriages can be undoubtedly difficult and unpredictable, you can overcome most of the challenges when you’re intentional about who you choose as your partner.
