Consider this a high level economic intelligence:
One of the biggest help you can offer to your friends/families in 2026 is to patronize their small-scale businesses, it will not reduce you, instead, you are supporting their small ventures and helping them live on dignity.
I know how funny this may sound right now, but hunger can be a currency to buy valuable commodities in the market of life.
As you plan for 2026, use this currency wisely and when you eventually get what you want, be wise enough to guide it with all diligence.
Now that you have written your new year goals, one of the tips to making that achievable is sharing them with your mentor or an accountability partner, especially if you're one who loses focus easily.
Based on the kind of my upbringing, am not allowed to hate anyone for their personality, but I may dislike your attitude or manners. I just can't be friends with every Dick and Harry. It is that simple.
Patronizing your friends/relatives in their startups is a big deal. Seeing you in the days of small beginning is one of the best feelings in the world. Don't just show up when their little efforts start counting , that's jittery.
One of the ways to grow and build value is volunteering. Finding a space where your skill is useful and contribute as a volunteer. Don't always start with the mindset of making money. Build a network first. Your network will determine your net worth.
I learned something recently, as a young person, if you want to go far and safe in life, have a mentor. Have someone you're accountable to with your life.
The future is reserved for those who have been properly groomed with the right mindset and methodology.
When the basics of life start to get unaffordable, it is programming great doom. Deodorant, drugs, clothes, transportation, etc.
OMG! It's a matter of time, safety in this country will sound like fantasy.
