I started all over from scratch at 32.
Best decision of my life was hitting the reset button at 32.
I'm now 36. Married to the love of my life. EXCELling in my dream career.
You aren't late.
One of the key takeaways from an attendee of the Elevatech Summit London last year.
Don’t miss the second edition on Saturday August 8th.

Don’t beat yourself up. Not every meeting turns into an opportunity. A young musician meeting Don Jazzy could be a life changing opportunity, but the same meeting might not mean the same thing for someone else.
Some of my colleagues and I spent an hour with Alhaji Aliko Dangote in his office last week, and despite my current broke situation, it never crossed my mind to pitch him for anything. It’s not like I don’t have things to pitch. It just wasn’t right.
You didn’t have anything specific to discuss with @realFemiOtedola, so you shouldn’t have any regrets. Have you read his book? If you had, perhaps you could have asked him to clarify something he wrote.
Successful people meet others who are constantly trying to pitch them, and that can become exhausting. You took a selfie. That’s okay. Who knows? Maybe he’s seen this post. Something might come from it or it might not.
Either way, keep it moving.
I don't share stories like this often, but this one is worth your attention.
Meet Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo. First-Class graduate in Mathematics from UNILORIN, CGPA 4.76/5.0. This is no small feat, she put in so much to get here.
She earned a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy. Tuition, accommodation, meals, and stipend all covered. This is the kind of opportunity that can change a family's story for good, for life.
She has already paid her enrollment fee. She used her tutoring savings and borrowed from friends to get this far.
What she needs now is €3,122 (about ₦4.9 million) to cover her visa, flight, document processing, and initial settlement in Italy. The scholarship does not cover this part, and without it, she cannot travel to start what she has already earned.
This is someone who did the work and is one step away from the finish line.
If you can support her, even a small amount helps.
If you cannot, a share costs nothing and might reach someone who can 🙏🏾
The people who were at the first edition of #ElevatechSummitLondon are still talking about it.
Edition Two is bigger.
8th August, London.
And of course Naija Jollof and puff puff is on the menu… who even says NO to Naija Jollof.

Your career capital is built on four things;
Skills
Reputation
Relationships
Track record
Of the four, only skills can be built entirely alone. The other three require other people. Invest in all four simultaneously.
All these ICAN gate keeping arguments don’t even make sense, not to talk about some terrible takes I’ve seen from some so called educated people….Whether you’re choosing to be a chartered accountant as option B or you were primarily an accounting graduate…my take is that we still have less than 100k chartered accountants for a population of over 200m people. That’s to tell you, the sky is enough for everyone to fly !!!

Keep the conversation respectful.
You can argue for and against without calling people names.
If you can’t state your point without being rude, then leave the conversation.
Congratulations to all the newest chartered accountants in town! Welcome to the club. If you’ve got papers left to complete don’t worry; failure is a natural part of success story. Stay strong, re-strategise and give it another go. Wishing you the very best! 🎉🎉🎉
