@TheOne100x @bigbrovar You can check this out and see what works for you. You can also reach out for a design that suits your need.

[PATRIOTIC SOJA ($TSIR-MUNCHAN) @Pressman2040]

THE FILE ON THE COMMANDER'S DESK

Sergeant Musa had served in the military for over twenty five years.
Most of those years were spent in administrative units. His duty was simple but important. Files passed through his desk before decisions were made. Deployment lists, welfare requests, medical approvals, pension documents.

At the beginning of his career, Musa treated every document with seriousness. He believed the uniform meant service and sacrifice.

But as time passed, the environment around him began to influence him.

Some colleagues would say,
“This is army paperwork. It can wait.”

Gradually Musa changed.

He delayed files.
He ignored some requests.
Sometimes he asked for “something small” before pushing a document forward.
He reported late to the office and left early.

Whenever his conscience questioned him, he brushed it aside.

“After all, I am not the one fighting on the battlefield. What difference does my desk make?”

One afternoon a file arrived on his desk.

It was a medical evacuation request for a wounded soldier who had returned from a peacekeeping mission. The soldier needed urgent approval so he could be transferred to a better hospital.

The process required just one signature.

Musa’s Commander.

But Musa was tired that day. He pushed the file aside.

“Let it wait till tomorrow.”

Tomorrow became three days.

Three days later the news reached the unit.

The wounded soldier had died.

The barracks became quiet. Some soldiers mourned. Others shook their heads and continued their duties.

But Musa could not move.

Because when he opened the file again and read the name carefully, his heart sank...

@yankeeplug_ Last jog this year before the knee sprain

@DrJoeAbah see how far it's been. We need a jogging competition in Abuja.

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@yankeeplug_ Increase your goal. I do average of 14km, 6 days in a week through December 2025. Presently nursing a knee sprain but should be back to jogging again soon.

[Yegor @yegormethod]

my dad was a fucking rocket engineer who taught me something that made me RICH

wasn't some soft ass "believe in yourself" bs

it was QUICK MATH (keep reading it's saucy)

this man ran calculations for missile trajectories in the military. could tell you impact coordinates in his head while other guys needed computers. but he'd say "close enough is better than perfect too late"

"347 divided by 45? about 7. move the fuck on."

he'd make me calculate brutal equations instantly. not perfectly. INSTANTLY. because in real situations perfect math gets you killed while you're calculating

meanwhile you common folk are sitting with your calculator app making sure you got the EXACT answer while opportunities are flying past at 1000mph

this is why you're easy to kill in business...

you're trying to be PRECISE when you need to be FAST

business decision? you want 22 spreadsheets and three consultants' opinions. your competitor already launched, failed, pivoted, and is banking while you're on slide 73 of your market analysis like some soft as baby shit analyst

pricing your service? you're researching statistics for weeks. just pick a fucking number that scares you and TEST IT. wrong? change it tomorrow. you lost one day not six months.

"but what if i'm wrong?"

YOU WILL BE WRONG YOU FUCKING MORON

difference is i'm wrong in 5 seconds and correct in 10. you're still thinking about maybe being wrong next year while i'm already counting money

my first agency? picked price out of thin air. $5k/month felt insane. someone paid instantly. raised to $10k next day. then $20k. found the ceiling in 3 weeks.

you would've surveyed 100 people and ended up at $2k because that's what the statistics said was "reasonable"

quick math beats perfect math EVERY FUCKING TIME

hiring? meet them, trust your gut, done. "but what about background checks..." shut up. you know in 10 minutes if someone's solid or soft as baby shit. everything else is corporate theater.

launching products? ship at 70% and fix it live. "but what if..." what if you die waiting for perfect? at least i'm getting paid while fixing bugs instead of perfecting something nobody wants.

here's what overthinking really is: FEAR dressed up as intelligence

you're not being thorough. you're being a PUSSY, you want spreadsheets to blame when shit fails instead of owning your decisions like someone who isn't easy to kill

fuck your process.

347 divided by 45? about 7

should i hire this broad? she seems hungry? hired.

should i fire this client? they annoy me? gone.

should i raise prices? feeling poor? doubled.

CLOSE ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH

perfect is for common folk who die with perfect plans. done is for killers who die with results.

i watch people spend 6 months on business plans that are worthless the second reality hits. my business plan was "make money." took 2 seconds. still works.

you know what matters? VELOCITY not accuracy.

100 decisions at 70% accuracy beats 10 decisions at 95% accuracy. because those 100 decisions taught you what actually works while your statistics are still theoretical

my competitors still calculating unit economics while i've tested 20 offers and found the one that prints. they have better spreadsheets. i have better everything else.

quick math principle applies to everything:

relationships? you know in 10 seconds if a broad is worth your time. stop needing 6 months of data to "be sure"

investments? thesis makes sense and founder isn't soft? send it. your due diligence is just procrastination with a fancy name

opportunities? someone offers you something that could work? say yes figure it out later. "but the statistics say..." statistics are for people easy to kill

here's the truth: your best educated guess RIGHT NOW beats your perfect answer NEVER

because while you're calculating, killers are DOING. while you're analyzing statistics, they're creating them. while you're planning, they're already celebrating.

347 divided by 45?

about 7.

good enough.

NEXT.

that's the yegor method. quick math. violent execution. adjust on the fly.

everything else is mental masturbation that common folk use to feel smart while staying broke

my dad could calculate missile impacts in his head but knew "close enough" beats "perfect too late"

a "close enough" nuke skill decimates a city. a nuke that never launches does ZERO

now make that fucking decision you've been sitting on. your gut already knows. stop pretending you need more data.

study the yegor method.

@engr_shaibu_ @PickTwo_ The message would still be valid without adding the insult. Let’s resist the urge to water down our message with innuendo(s). Cheers!!!

@DrJoeAbah @Zhaynarb00 @patienceadeka @Omahh_11 @soufiar @nkyru @Daniel3d_ @akp4moses Airtime received with thanks @DrJoeAbah

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah @Zhaynarb00 @patienceadeka @Omahh_11 @soufiar @nkyru @Daniel3d_ @akp4moses Wow!!! Thank you very much for the recognition and gift, it’s duly appreciated, Sir.
God bless and increase you more.

I hope I find a freestyle running competition to test my skills though. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 30!!!

The public challenge ends but we soldier on behind the scene. I’ve been able to increase my distance within the 30-day challenge and finally added the push up I’ve been lazy to add. Latest distance and 90 full push ups (30*3). It was all worth it.

[Mr. Czar @Mrczar_]

My millionaire friend just left my house.

He had called me out of the blues, told me he was stopping by and just drove
into the compound in his white Range Rover Sport.

Stunned the hell out of me.

I had very little time to put my house in order.

And then the only alcohol I had in the fridge was just a bottle of vodka and a
half filled bottle of coke. This isn’t exactly the sort of thing you serve this kind of
guy.

Anyways, he turned down my offer to take something and just took a look at
what I was doing on my laptop instead.

‘’What’s this?’’ He had asked.

‘’Facebook ad, sir’’. I replied. Happy that for once I knew something he doesn’t.

So I quickly gave him a crash course on Facebook ads, how it works and all that.

If you don’t already know. Facebook ads are those sponsored posts you see on
your Facebook timeline.

He takes a look at the numbers.

‘’What is that?’’. He said, pointing at the budget column.

‘’The budget’’. I replied.He looked at the budget for a while. Lost in thought. Then he looks at me.

‘’What happens if you double that budget.

Does the result increase? Will more
people see and buy your stuff?’’

‘’Yeah’’. I replied. ‘’In an ideal situation that is how it works. Why?’’

‘’Because you should be spending more’’ He replied.

And then as usual he grabbed a pen and a paper and wrote one sentence.

‘’The person with the most cash wins’’.

Then he points at it and reads it out loud.
Then he scribbles something else: ‘’If you are not the guy with the most cash, be
the guy with the most leverage’’.

He waved the paper at me and then said. ‘’And if you are the guy with both, you
will be hard to be stopped’’

Then he crossed his leg and leaned back on his chair. Then looked at me intently
and began:

‘’Do you know what happens behind closed doors when the big boys want to
start a company?’’ He paused, like he wanted me to say something. But I kept
quiet and so he continued. ‘’First they set up a team, then they raise funds….’’

In that order.

They set up a team.Then they raise funds.
There is always the main guy. But there is always a team behind them, and they
don’t run the business with all their money.

They use mostly investors’ money,
and very little of their own.

They understand that they are not good at everything so they get people who
are good at what they are not, then they raise a lot of cash and go in very hard.

They don’t go half way, they push it all the way in.

Then he waved a t my laptop. What are you doing here? Running your own ad
on Facebook with a budget like that? Is this how you want to get big?

I did a double take. That really did hurt a little coming from him.

He leaned forward.

‘’Look son’’. He said. ‘’Read the news. There is a reason there is a board of
director in big companies. There is a reason the CEO doesn’t do the books.

There is a reason you hear Dangote say that they brought in a percentage of the
money for the refineries and then went out and got different banks to bring in
the rest of the funds’’.

….there is a reason you see him on the news and he is surrounded by all those
white people.

Team & Investors Money. That is how the big boys play.

If you must build a big business then you must master how to build a deadly
team, and raise a lot of money fast and then go in very very hard without
blowing everything. Do it at your level now. Practice.

Then he looked around my sitting room. ‘’You have a really nice place here’’. He
said. ‘’So when are you getting married’’.
We laughed, and our conversation drifted away from business

@DrJoeAbah Day 29!!

Seems my new route comes with a longer path and allows faster pace as I have less medium pace; aside Monday coming with its own steroid pace after Sunday break. Anyways, padded with 90 full push ups (30*3)

#fitseptember

P.S.: I made new pace and distance record today

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 27!!!

New route again and change of pattern, though got super tired afterwards but still added 90 full push ups (30*3). See you on Monday as Sunday is resting day!!!

#fitseptember

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 26!!!

Another day with a little increase and steroid pace. Tweaked the route a little for a change. Then added 90 full push ups (30*3).

#fitseptember

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 25!!!

New mileage successfully achieved topped it up with 90 full push ups (30*3). It’s been fun all the way.

Mistakes you shouldn’t make as a first time entrepreneur in Nigeria.

1. Don’t throw big parties in the name of a business launch. Open for a few months then consider a launch event to increase your visibility if necessary. Goal is “Revenue not popularity!”
2. Never borrow money from friends or family to start your business. If it fails you will become a bad friend and a debtor. Be honest upfront and communicate the risks if you must.
3. Your friends and relatives are not your actual customers
4. A repeat customer should be treated like a king. They pay your rent, new customers help you grow.
5. Good Customer service is cheaper than negative reviews
6. Referral is key to growth, be shameless and ask your customers to become your brand advocates
7. Taking your business revenues to church as seed offering. Don’t do it!
8. Location! Location! Location. If it didn’t dey, it didn’t dey! Don’t think you have the magic to bring customers to a bad location.
9. Don’t hire your relatives just because you are related. They must be more competent than a stranger who is also a candidate.
9. If you must take a bank loan, make sure you have an accountant that can keep you disciplined with repayments.
10. Trust is the lifeblood of your business. Make sure your staff are trained to demonstrate this always
11. Your friends and family are not haters because they don’t promote your business. It’s your job to promote your own business.
12. Nobody will build your dream for you. Sending money from diaspora or sitting at home for others to run or build your business for you is STUPIDITY! Be present…….
13. Don’t be clueless about any aspect of your business. Continuous learning is key!
14. First in, Last Out! Be the last one in the building as much as you can, you will discover a lot about your business.
15. Growth is the intrinsic value of every business. If you are not growing revenues, customers or your profit margins, you must re-strategize or exit!
16. Replicate organizational culture across locations. Every location must have employees and processes that are similar. Customers love consistency!
17. Always a have a lawyer on retainer.
18. A nice boss is a bad boss. Be a leader first but treat your staff like family. They will look out for you always!
19. Never accept an employee that resigns to return. It creates distrusts and weakens morale among loyal staff.
20. Develop your staff, always ask them to tell you their life goals and help them identify their strength. Growth in life is the number desire of most humans. You will get loyalty and value while they are employed.

I will be sharing more…..🙏🏾🙏🏾

[Cowrywise @cowrywise]

I saw this tweet👇🏾

This narrative is pretty common on the TL, so I want to take a minute to break it down.

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 24!!!

I got a challenger on my route today, dude got me off default pace but not up to steroid pace. I hope he shows up again. 90 full push ups (30*3) to spice it up.

#fitseptember

[Damilolayodele @oblivion_enigma]

@DrJoeAbah Day 23!!!

Back to default pace but still grinding as always with 80 full push ups to support (30+30+20). Feels good always.
