Posting 4x a day sounds like a content challenge.

For me it is really a research challenge.

Can I notice enough real things in the work to avoid becoming repetitive noise?

@gkbalogs 👌

We overestimate international language barriers and underestimate the ones between people who already speak the same language.

Nigerian businesses, organisations and individuals often assume shared words mean shared understanding. So we listen less, explain less and do less of the work of meeting each other halfway.

Then we wonder why people with talent, capital and access still struggle to combine forces.

That gap between what people mean and what others understand is exactly where communication starts to matter.

And this single understanding is one of many reasons why @TeoInspiro stands out.

Please stop using the first 8 pages of your proposal to tell the client your life story.

They already agreed to talk to you.

Help them make the decision.

@KateBour One idea can do more for your positioning than a hundred posts people forget five minutes later.

The goal isn’t just to be helpful. It’s to make someone see something differently.

The right idea can create trust faster than more content ever will.

@TechnicalBben Well, the 101st email only matters if the 101st version is better than the first.

Persistence gets you more chances. Better targeting, offers and messaging improve what happens when the chance comes.

Don’t just send more emails. Give each round a reason to perform better.

@Tetulatony A great product doesn’t speak for itself.

Someone still has to understand why it matters, why it’s different, and why they should care now.

Building creates the value. Communication makes the value visible.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

That distinction matters. The same offer can need completely different messaging depending on what the market is actually afraid of losing.
In Nigeria, “additional income” speaks to security and resilience. “Quit your 9-5” can sound like you’re asking someone to give up the safety they’re trying to protect.

@AlexHormozi Now this is the part of leadership people rarely see. When every option has a cost, the job isn’t finding a decision everyone will like. It’s being willing to make the call, absorb the criticism, and keep the team focused on what comes next.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@Codie_Sanchez There’s a lot of power in staying with something long enough to get past the part where most people leave. But not quitting only works if you’re still learning and improving while you stay. Persistence compounds when the thing you’re persistent about is getting better.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@Dwriteway People rarely care about the skill itself. They care about what that skill can do for them.

Nobody is looking for a “copywriter.” They’re looking for better messaging, more sales, or a clearer offer.

The skill is what you do. The outcome is what people buy

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@thejustinwelsh You can work incredibly hard on a problem nobody cares enough to pay you to solve. But once you get the problem right, effort starts compounding very differently.

Hard work is an accelerator. Problem selection decides what you’re accelerating.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@pmitu A founder title tells people what you call yourself. Paying customers tell you what the market thinks you’ve built.

LinkedIn can reward the title. The market rewards the transaction.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@pmitu The amount of money needed to validate an idea is part of the signal too.

If you need $2M before you can find out whether people actually want it, you may be validating the business model before validating the problem.

Validation should reduce uncertainty, not fund it.

@boye4christ2006 So much Freedom!!! Some people are using social media as a global networking event. Others are using it to argue with strangers at 7am 😭

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@SirDavidBent Interestingly, honesty doesn't sound as inspiring than struggle, so people edit out the privilege and keep the suffering. They're simply just bringing branding into the testimony.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@_ManuellaM_ True. You can’t build a serious digital economy on top of unreliable physical infrastructure.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@ndukaomeife It's really uncomfortable to question something you’ve been doing for years. It take an extra ordinary audacity to do that.

[Araga Dominic @aragadominic]

@DanniChenGTM Working long hours is hard, but you can at least see what you’re producing. Building for months without much feedback from the market is a different kind of hard.

Sometimes you’re not fighting the workload. You’re fighting the silence.
