@UnkleAyo To assert this man supports or downplays the genocide in Nigeria is outrightly a misconstrued submission on any clip, video or material flying about.

His heart on these matters is glaring, clear and right. Stop perpetuating misinformation.

[Alexios @Alexiosgra]

@UnkleAyo How can you say a man like this says there is no genocide in the north. When for a fact he has been speaking against evil in the government for years without fear. This sermon was preached before that whole hiatus

Most founders think their product isn’t selling because of pricing.

Wrong.

It’s because people don’t see it as urgent.

Solve an immediate pain, and people will buy.

The game is different with HPC.

It is not just about showcasing your skills; it’s about positioning yourself as an expert, understanding the client’s needs, and delivering real value.

High-ticket clients aren’t looking for just another designer.

If I was working with a POS manufacturing brand or sort, these images will feel just at home as I use Figma to design the landing page.

It's mind-blowing how fast it was to get the images with AI simple prompting.

@designsynch Yes! The pieces are 🔥

[Deji Adelekan @dejiadelekan]

@ta_alabi I'm curious to what that would require to set up and all it will entail. I've always looked forward to something of that nature

@TheRuqayyah Truly stressful at first. But once you figure out the tips and tricks around the implementation... It's sweet😅

Lazy: a lack of motivation.
Irritable: a lack of fulfilment.
Stubborn: a lack of trust.
Shy: a lack of validation.
Proud: a lack of identity.
Rude: a lack of joy.
Impatient: a lack of peace.

Focusing on the act, makes us judgemental.
Focusing on the lack, makes us empathetic.

Push - Pull Effect👌

I think it goes to show that when you let go, and appear less desperate for business, people see you as more capable and become attracted to you.

In 2010 when I made the decision to stop web design and focus fully on logo design, I was bombarded with calls everyday to design websites.

Now I have decided to stop logo design and focus on teaching & mentoring; calls everyday from people who need logos.

What's this prank?

Nobody:

Me:
Opening my 123rd tab in Chrome, with 4 other browser windows open as well.

Can you relate?😅

@theChrisDo "I see your point"😅😅

Imagine having a couple of bricks and you need to build a wall of bricks.

You keep adding brick upon brick, "same brick" over and over again, different positions, but "same brick".

This is similar to branding.

Branding is a lot more about consistency than you thought.

Quick Brand Exercise:
(appl. to Personal, Corporation or Product brands)

1) Choose 10 random people who know/have interacted with your brand
2) Ask them what they think/feel about your brand
3) Gather all info
4) Pay attention to similar words/phrases
5) That's your brand!
