I STILL REMEMBER WHAT MY FATHER SAID: "If you need vacations to enjoy your life, you've built it wrong."
Here are 20 habits that make your life feel good on a normal day:
1. Wake up 30 minutes early and sit with coffee watching the sky change color
Maduka got married at the age of 19 and made his first million, as predicted, by the age of 24.
The name of his company, Coscharis, was born by combining his name, Cosmas, and the name of the second woman he credits with all his success, Charity.
Today, the group has more than 26 branches nationwide, with a presence in Ghana, Gabon and Cรดte dโIvoire.
The automobile business of Coscharis Group started in 1983 when the company was incorporated with the business of importation and distribution of automotive parts and accessories of Japanese vehicles.
The decision to incorporate the car business provided the breakthrough Coscharis Group needed.
At a time where many businesses were choosing to remain sole proprietorships to avoid the bureaucracy and complex framework of a limited company, Maduka decided to break convention. That decision paid off.
โIn 1983, the federal government of Nigeria decided to give import licenses only to motor companies and, because I had incorporated Coscharis, they placed me among multinationals like Leventis, even though it was only me and my wife,โ says Maduka.
Coscharis was responsible for revolutionizing the automobile industry in Nigeria by building showrooms fully equipped with in-house service centers.
On average, the company sells more than 400 cars per month with prices around N150 million ($752,787) for the top end of its luxury fleet, which includes Rolls Royce, BMW, Jaguar, Range Rover and Ford.
This year, the company partnered with Ford to build one of the largest manufacturing plants on the continent for its pickup trucks.
The company currently has more than N50 billion ($250 million) in shareholder funds, generated in just under 40 years.
Maduka once guaranteed the loan of $278 million for the CEO of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Uba to secure his goods, which was never repaid.
In what was a huge scandal, Coscharis had to repay the debt.
At that time, Maduka was on the board of Access Bank as a non-Executive Director.
