You need to be a visionary, at least for your own life.
I recently realised that every other person does not have the ability to create a mental picture of their future, hold on to it and work towards it regardless of their present circumstances.
It was my wife who pointed this out to me. She said some people cannot lead even themselves. instead, they’re loyal followers. They need to be told what to do. They can vaguely describe their future, but lack the ability to formalise it and create an actionable plan, let alone the commitment and consistency to execute that plan.

For people like this, I think it makes sense to find a visionary with similar interests and follow in their footsteps. I do think finding that visionary is more difficult than leading yourself, but it is better than leaving everything to chance.

Some people would have turned out differently if they had someone else who showed them that it is possible to get a job in NNPC, scholarships abroad, etc, without 'connections'.
Since they can’t imagine a better life for themselves, their actions/inactions are motivated by incentives, not vision.
It took a while for me to believe my wife because it’s hard to even imagine that some human beings live like this.
You hear them say things like "school na scam" or use criminals like internet fraudsters as references in their arguments because to them, incentives are all that matters.
They cannot create their own world in their mind, so they reach out to what they consider the 'real world', observe and adopt behaviours the 'real world' rewards.
These are the people who want to study medicine, law or engineering, and more recently want to become software engineers because in the 'real world', there are incentives to pursue these career paths. It is the same explanation for people who have explored UI/UX design, forex, crypto, sports betting, social media influencing, etc, all in their 20s. It looks like hard work, but it isn’t.

Wish you knew the truth about jobs before leaving school or starting NYSC? It’s not too late to learn now.

The labour market is full of myths. AI is reshaping jobs, not replacing them. A degree opens doors, but skills and adaptability keep you in the room.

There has been a surge in blended finance structures and a growing inflow of catalytic capital into the continent. We’re heading towards a future of blended and alternative financing.

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They make choices. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything. The great irony of this is that by limiting your options and remaining focused until you master a skill, you actually expand your options in the long run. Life-changing optionality is a byproduct of providing great value, which can only be achieved through focus." - James Clear

@Mayorles01 @_ivabradine Interestingly we had a similar experience, I was the timekeeper in SS1 and SS2 but became the Senior Prefect in SS3.

If you are like me; the ones who build from scratch…

…from a third world country

With no help from rich relatives. It is just you fighting to get out of the pits of poverty.

Here is a quick piece of advice.

Something I wish someone had told me 6 years ago.

[Idris Ayinde, FCA, CFA @hedrees_ayinde]

Go Visible or go home! - how to be visible in the work place.

The above mantra is one of the key messages I took from a leadership coach - Mute Efe.

I often belong to the school of thought that at work, let your work speak for you. In fact my mantra was a quote from Henry J. Kaiser - “When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.”

[Mr. Possible @Mrpossidez]

I hope you find some peace within. I hope by God, your hard work pays off. I hope you find love & loyalty. I hope you rediscover yourself every time you wander too far. I hope you align mentally and spiritually. I hope you find what you are looking for, my friend.

When VC's are assessing start ups to invest in, one thing they look out for is network effects.

I use the example of Microsoft to explain what network effects are and how they enhance a start ups position in the market.
