No one can resist value.
True value is irresistible.
People can resist you, but they can't resist the value you bring to the table.
Always bring more value.
They can't help but love you
Why?
You bring value.
You are full of value.
You can only measure how much you want something by what you’re willing to give up to get it.
And it turns out, most people want feeling smart, feeling comfortable, and feeling accepted more than winning.
Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.
@lovyPrimzy1@imohnnah8671 She doesn't have any reason or right to walk away from her marriage, her house, and her children.
She said that "we are a team", and sometimes, most times the team doesn't always get it right, it's a team, because two is better than one.
You build together, not tear it down.
& if you check yourself and realize you come from an average family that isn’t supportive enough, that your parents aren’t also financially comfortable
pay close attention;
if you know that within 24 hrs, your entire family coming together still couldn’t raise at least $10,000 in this economy, stay out of trouble. i’m telling you that for free. you have no business chasing endless enjoyment or la vida loca. your place is on the battlefield, working relentlessly on yourself.
i will always tell the younger generation the truth: poverty is far more damaging than most people understand.
if a sibling falls critically ill and the entire family still can’t raise enough money for treatment or surgery, that’s a reality you cannot ignore. i’ve also heard of people who secured life changing opportunities abroad, even free visas or contracts but lost em cos they couldn’t afford the flight ticket and their family couldn’t support.
if deep down you know this could be your reality or fate, make it your mission to break that cycle.
there should be days you need to go totally offline, switch off your phone, ignore distractions and focus completely on becoming better than you were yesterday. the consequences of being a young man without money or a strong support system can be brutal. that’s why, while you’re still coming up, treat your growth like a responsibility, not an option.

buena suerte as you do so 👍
If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.
Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.

If u want ur stew to bang….
Slice lots of onions, and fry until it becomes crispy, then add bay leaf, fry for a few minutes, and add ur tin tomatoes…
Fry for another few minutes, before adding your blended tomatoes, stir together and allow time for it to dry before adding your spices.
If your stew no bang, just know say ur village people don put leg for ur matter.
My aunty was a seamstress for seventeen years.
Same shop. Same sewing machine. Same corner of the market.
She knew fabric the way most people know their own name.
Could look at a woman and know exactly what style would make her feel most herself.
Her customers loved her.
But the money never reflected it.
Some months she barely covered her shop rent.
Her daughter came home from school one holiday and watched her work for three days.
Quietly. Carefully.
On the fourth day she said:
"Mummy you are sitting on a goldmine and charging market prices."
Her mother laughed.
"Who will pay more for a seamstress?"
Her daughter looked at her seriously.
"Everyone who cannot find someone who does what you do."
They spent that holiday filming everything.
How she took measurements.
How she chose fabrics for different body types.
How she constructed patterns from scratch.
Her daughter posted it as tutorial content online.
The response was immediate.
Women from countries her mother had never visited were commenting.
"I have been looking for someone to teach me this for years."
"Where can I learn from you properly?"
"Do you offer online classes?"
Her mother did not have answers yet.
But her daughter did.
They built an online course together.
Everything her mother knew packaged into something the whole world could access.
It launched quietly.
Sold out in five days.
Her mother called me after the last sale.
"My daughter says I have students in Canada."
I laughed.
"How does that feel?"
She was quiet for a moment.
"Like seventeen years finally made sense."
The knowledge you have been selling cheaply in one location can be packaged and sold globally.
The internet removed every border except the one in your mind.
Na the kind house I expect some of those my Igbo brothers wey get better money to dey build be this, but if them them never carry that “nollywood igwe chair” in gold color put for parlour, their body no go calm😂
You only need 1 hour.
1 hour of building. 1 hour of writing. 1 hour of lifting. 1 hour of studying.
1 hour of any form of bettering yourself, because it quickly compounds.
1 hour feels like nothing until you look back 365 hours later and everything's changed.
Best sales advice on Earth:
1. Follow up until they block you or buy from you.
2. Sales is basically energy transference. They're not listening to what you say, they're listening to how you say it.
3. Mostly use voice notes and video messages instead of texting them.
Joseph Campbell spent five years in a rented shack with no job, reading nine hours a day. no income, no plan, no publication deal. his sister brought him groceries. he later called it "the most fertile period of my life." the hero's journey was written by a man who spent five years doing nothing the world would call productive. I find this fact more useful than most business books combined.
Why I start work before 5am:
1) I wake up ~4am without an alarm normally.
2) My 1st mentor was a gym owner. He wanted to provide for family & be home for them. So he worked 4am to 4pm. I learned from him & it stuck w me.
3) I like it better than later.
PS: Do whatever u want.
Atedo Peterside, the founder of IBTC Bank (now Stanbic IBTC), says that society is rigged against young people. Rules have been put in place so they don't succeed.
Nigerians, as they got older, kept on changing the rules to make sure young people didn't repeat what they did.
