Bro, you’re not broke. You just didn’t inherit a family fortune. You’re building everything from the ground up, so don’t get discouraged or expect things to change overnight. Trust the process, keep pushing, and your time will come.
NB: APPRECIATE YOUR JOURNEY!!!

A woman who understands that respect, submission, appreciation, and honor bring out the best in a good man has learned something many women never will. A good man will move mountains for a woman who truly honors him.
One of the most underrated things you can do when you’re asking to be supported for an opportunity is to reference the support you already have from trusted people.
For example, you may be having a conversation with the head of a team or operation, but you have already spoken to other influential people within that environment.
If they’ve shared positive feedback about you, your work, or your potential, bring that into the conversation.
You can say something like, 'I was speaking to X recently, and they mentioned how much they valued my ability to…' or 'When I spoke with Y, they encouraged me to explore this opportunity because....'
It gives the person you’re speaking to more confidence in you. It shows that respected people already see your value, and it makes it easier for them to see it too.
You don’t only have to do this when you’re asking for an opportunity. Make it part of how you communicate and position yourself.
Over time, you’ll notice that people begin to buy into you more easily because they can see that others already trust and rate you.
You do not need anybody’s permission to go the extra mile and do the work that will change your life.
If it looks like you are lonely on the path, it is because you are creating a trail no other person has permitted themselves to create.
Nothing wrong; you are only moving in the might of God.
Until people start saying to you that you are doing too much, you haven’t scratched the surface.
It shows that you are now beginning to do the work on yourself that the average other person isn’t prepared or willing to explore.
When it comes to you, your standards and your craft, leave the standard performance in the dust.
That’s the rule of thumb.
I have NEVER doubted that I will be successful. It was just a matter of timing. I have the work ethic, my portfolio of failures grows year on year, and I have a ridiculous bounce-back strength. Most importantly, I believe in my abilities to create the life I want. So, it’s gonna happen.
As a man, never neglect your mental health. Get that haircut. Hit the gym. Hang with the boys. Take yourself. Watch that game. Play that video game. Take that road trip. Spend time in nature. Get some sleep. Don’t get so lost in the grind that you forget to live.
Just bagged a job at a mining company in Bogoso.
My boys don’t even care what I’ll be doing 😂 “Mining company” was all they needed to hear before they started celebrating with me.
Real ones ride with you regardless.
