The wealthiest people in the world:
75% of them are entrepreneurs.
15% of them are investors.
7% are athletes.
3% are artists.
None of them are employees.
A salary cannot leverage you into self-sufficiency.
A salary takes you through a journey of 5 phases:
Phase 1: Earning
Phase 2: Spending
Phase 3: Borrowing
Phase 4: Planning
Phase 5: Budgeting
Once you cross Phase 5, which comes after years of being broke despite earning, you cross to 2 more phases
Phase 6: Saving
Once you cross Phase 6, which requires a lot of maturity, self-satisfaction, sacrifice and discipline,
You unlock Phase 7: INVESTING.
This is where you either become a business owner or remain an employee forever.

To be a MAN is to bear responsibility for all things.

All roads lead you back to yourself;
the standards you ignored.
the boundaries you softened.
the intuition you doubted.
Life will keep repeating lessons until you listen.
Men,
Pray for your fellow men.
I do this every morning.
Men are silently in pain.
A man might look jovial but, he is in pain, tears, betrayal, struggles, and wasted years.
If we hold a man's hand, and light up his dream, we are lighting up the future.

Being a man isn’t always easy.
You plan the trip, fuel the car, make sure everyone’s comfortable… and somewhere along the way, the music goes quiet.
You check the mirror 🪞
All the babies? Fast asleep.
Even your babe? Gone 😄
And just like that, from “family man” to a chauffeur.
Deep down, you smile though you feel they should keep you company and help stay awake as well 😴.
But this is what love looks like;
Carrying everyone safely, even when they don’t see it in the moment.
Men… we keep driving ❤️
