[Ben X @Benn_X1]

You need to be a visionary, at least for your own life.
I recently realised that every other person does not have the ability to create a mental picture of their future, hold on to it and work towards it regardless of their present circumstances.
It was my wife who pointed this out to me. She said some people cannot lead even themselves. instead, they’re loyal followers. They need to be told what to do. They can vaguely describe their future, but lack the ability to formalise it and create an actionable plan, let alone the commitment and consistency to execute that plan.

For people like this, I think it makes sense to find a visionary with similar interests and follow in their footsteps. I do think finding that visionary is more difficult than leading yourself, but it is better than leaving everything to chance.

Some people would have turned out differently if they had someone else who showed them that it is possible to get a job in NNPC, scholarships abroad, etc, without 'connections'.
Since they can’t imagine a better life for themselves, their actions/inactions are motivated by incentives, not vision.
It took a while for me to believe my wife because it’s hard to even imagine that some human beings live like this.
You hear them say things like "school na scam" or use criminals like internet fraudsters as references in their arguments because to them, incentives are all that matters.
They cannot create their own world in their mind, so they reach out to what they consider the 'real world', observe and adopt behaviours the 'real world' rewards.
These are the people who want to study medicine, law or engineering, and more recently want to become software engineers because in the 'real world', there are incentives to pursue these career paths. It is the same explanation for people who have explored UI/UX design, forex, crypto, sports betting, social media influencing, etc, all in their 20s. It looks like hard work, but it isn’t.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.

[yimika| @yimikaaaa]

My biggest prayer point right now is clarity.

I need clarity.

I need to know what to do and how to do it.

[tomiwa. @theakintomiwa]

you hit a point where you realize normal lock-in won’t make you extraordinary. it takes an insane level of focus to actually see real growth… and that kind of lock-in isn’t cheap dawg.

[Kpaxs @Kpaxs]

The beautiful thing is you don't even need to be exceptional at all of these. Just being above-average on 2-3 dimensions compounds like crazy:

• Work harder than average (easy)
• Work smarter than average (study the game)
• Persist longer than average (most people quit shockingly early)
• Get feedback and iterate (most people just... don't)

You might be locking in wrongly my dawg I'm a living proof.

There are ways and shortcuts around this game. People say they’re “locked in,” but when you look at their process, there’s no feedback loop, no way to audit or track progress. That’s not locking in. That’s guessing. So sometimes I don't believe when people say they are locked in.

Last year when I was locking in, I was so broke I barely had 700 Naira I would manage my data and beg for 2k naira here and there. I had no mentor, no guidance, just me practicing things that might not work quickly but would eventually pay off. I was just putting myself out there, a nobody who knew nothing as a dummy.

It took me six months of trial, failure, and adjustment before I finally started seeing results. I went through the long route because I didn’t know better. If I knew what I know now, that journey would’ve been 10x shorter.

Today, I’ve helped tons of people land their first international remote jobs. Some come to me and say, “Ben, I need tips,” and within weeks, they land seven-figure roles. When I was starting, I didn’t have anyone to give me those shortcuts.

That’s the difference. Information changes everything. Even if you want to “cheat the process,” you still need the right data, feedback, and guidance to make it work.

Locking in without structure is just stress.
Locking in with a system is growth.

From 700 Naira last year to over $15,000 this year as a newbie, I can tell you confidently, you might just be locking in the wrong way.

Lower your expectations. Increase your outreach. Build a feedback loop. Track your process. Because locking in without direction is just being locked out.

Broke boys will rise again. Insha allah

i saw one tiktok that basically said, if you’re in your early 20s, lock in, be it a skill or whatever, take calculated risks.

the you in 5 years will thank you for it. don’t spend time on things that won’t compound into success in 5 years

[The woman @Tarmeim]

The hardest thing about uni isn't even the studies, it's trying to get through the academic part while trying to handle the nonsense and monthly plot twists in your personal life.
