Media Buyer | Digital Marketer | Lead generation expert | help growing businesses build predictable lead flow systems using inbound, outbound and CRM automation
Success as an idea has been mystified and even worse, glamorised (A killer marketing combo).
It's something motivational speakers peddle in order to excite and monetize you.
I'm of the opinion that the main key to success is simply, consistently trying to be better.

Stop buying data in bulk. The backend trick is beyond what you know as an end user.
There is a unit in telecommunications known as Revenue Monitoring and Optimization.
Their job is to identify revenue leakages and recover operational losses. Some of these costs eventually find their way to customers, especially through data.
They choose data route over call because telephone conversation is easily monitored and identified by the customers because of the known tarrif. They're smart enough to use data paths to recover their losses.
Data usage is not easy to monitor from the customer's end because there is no simple, real-time way for you to independently verify exactly how much data you have used. You simply rely on whatever the telco tells you.
Even the data usage alerts we receive are not something most customers can independently verify.
If you're the type that buy bulk data every month you'll be at the receiving end.
These companies fly with this because this is Nigeria where nothing is questioned.
Over here, corruption and anyhownes is masked in corporate identity to exploit people.
@delightfjohnson Spot on! Insisting on a "date" already tells me how you see the man. Date is peoples attempt to engineer things that should be organic
You don't like him, at least not that much apparently. And that's fine too but own up to it and let the guy move on.
All this stuff you just posted here is not necessary at all.
If you liked him, meeting him would happen organically. You won't even remember why you met up.
My 2 cents...
While it's your right to be hung up on dates, you should also realise that "dates" are people attempt to engineer something that should be organic.
If you guys are total strangers then, visiting the home might not be a great idea but he has already made...

Lmao men of this generation are becoming more stoopid, you canโt plan a proper date.
You want me to visit you in your estate for the first time?. Estate my foot.
At 40you canโt plan a proper simple date? What does he even mean by sitting in a place? In a beer parlor so I would drink Smirnoff ice?
...made his desire known but you were busy forming the "prize". If you were bothered about location, you could have made suggestions which he even asked you.
๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธThe damage Hollywood psyops has done to our society is deeper than most people understand.
Let's be honest....

@delightfjohnson@TalkswithAkwa If someone needs to make an elaborate plan just to spend time with you, it should be obvious you don't like that person as much
The game has changed. As a business owner in Nigeria business ecosystem, prepare to pivot if you want to continue in business. That's all I will say. More lattafa's will rise and you can't do anything about it
As someone who grew up in business, I knew this and more would happen someday.
The commercial landscape in Nigeria is gradually changing. The structure that gave people wealth before is gradually being filled. The Chinese now have stores here. You know what that means.
Perfume vendors at Trade Fair are protesting and calling for the Lattafa store to close down its outlet in the market.
Ever since Lattafa opened an outlet at Trade Fair, Nigerians have started patronizing them and ignoring other perfume vendors in the market after finding out that some of their products are allegedly fรคke.
The perfumes at the Lattafa store are original and more affordable, with different reviews from content creators and popular food and perfume critic Opeyemi Famakin. This is not sitting well with some perfume vendors at Trade Fair.
They are now protesting in front of the Lattafa store and asking them to shut down their shop.
What are your thoughts ?
This is so underrated it's like a conspiracy. If you don't do this, you are missing out big time.
Please don't learn this lesson by experience. You might not recover.
Don't joke with Documentation
One of the most underrated career skills is documentation.
Write down what you did.
Why you did it.
What worked.
What failed.
What should happen next.
It helps your team.
It helps your future self.
And when promotion or performance review conversations happen, you donโt have to rely on:
โTrust me, I did a lot.โ
@taiwo_junzi Totally agree. It's really interesting how in this day and age many people think you should trust them automatically just because you are dating them. That is serious manipulation.
Dating is the time you watch that person, take note of their values, watch their impulses, you vet
