I did a job of just 2k from the guy doing my printing press/signage 5 years ago.
I spend over 1m on nylons every month. He prints them.
I do souvenirs of 3m+ every year.
Without exaggerations, I paid him up to 4m for the total branding package he did last month.
Nobody carries a tag of "I am rich" on their head while visiting your business.
Most of the high-paying people no dey shout.
They don't wear designers.
Started this business one year after my NYSC.
Was living in a room self-contained of 400k per year when I started it.
The Tv in that room was what I started this place with for my CCTV.
The refrigerator in that room was what I kept in my office because some medications needed to be stored in a condition below room temperature.
The office chair I was using in that house was what I took to my office.
Only pots and my mattress didn't follow me.
Startec in 2022.
Very sMALL.
Build it every year since then.
But it's a MALL in 2026.
This is only a milestone. Not a new business in any way.
