If that’s you, say hi and let’s build smarter together
If your goal is to build massive wealth in a deterministic way stop relying on luck and start building leverage. There are only 4 forms that scale beyond your time: code, capital, media, and labor. Master all 4, and success becomes inevitable.
Everyone I’ve ever met that obsessed over their reputation, ironically, are not good people. If you’re genuinely a good person. You generally won’t care about your reputation at all because time will tell and character always reveals itself on a long enough time horizon.
The modern man has confused comfort with competence. No standards, no presence, no precision — just a “good enough” philosophy masquerading as a life. Mediocrity isn’t a circumstance. It’s a choice made daily, quietly, without resistance
On your journey to success and wealth. People will try to advise you, for the most part, reject it. You are the only person who knows exactly what you want out of your life. Follow your heart. #OdigieMindset
The quality of your life can best be understood as the aggregation of your daily habits. What you do regularly becomes your character. Your character becomes your destiny…
My best friend of 13 years stole $40,000 from me the year I graduated University. I was not able to sue or get the money back because it was a handshake deal. Do not do handshake deals. Sign contracts, even with family and friends. Makes things simple and easy. #EarnedWisdom
I believe the greatest service my parents offered me was being raised in America. Nigeria is such a fucked up shame based culture. In America, there’s a palpable risk taking culture that’s celebrated. Nigeria is more “what will my cousins think?” GTFOH WITH THAT WEAK BULLSHIT!!
None of my companies or organisations are bureaucracy heavy and are setup in such a way whereby even the lowest person on the totem pole in my organization has direct access to me
A great heuristic for decision-making:
When faced with two options, choose the one that’s more painful in the short term but leaves you with greater equanimity long term.
Instant gratification is often the enemy of progress. Delayed gratification compounds.
I am not part of this loser mindset of “discipline yourself” and “don’t spend money.”
No.
Life is meant to be experienced. Built. Enjoyed.
Make more money. Create more freedom. Live bigger.
A philosophy built around scarcity will never create abundance.
Human beings are universal explainers. What this means is there is nothing within the laws of physics that a human being cannot inherently understand. Partly, because we can ask questions and break things down to a first principles framework.
To become great at sales you quite literally need to kill your ego all that “too cool” attitude will not work. What will work? Hard work, grit, resilience, reflection, and humility.
Things we have NORMALIZED in Nigeria that are simply NOT NORMAL AT ALL.
1. Proliferation of prostitution everywhere
2. Corrupt politicians and yahoo boys being celebrated as hero’s
3. Extreme status obsession and “what will people say” percolating in everyone’s minds all day
The great part about life is that literally any day you can wake up and start to reverse all the loser shit you been doing your whole life and start to become a winner. Then everyone forgets you were once a loser
The 5 greatest words in the English language: “What’s in it for me?”
Humans are incentive-driven creatures. Every action, loyalty, partnership, sacrifice, vote, purchase, and relationship is shaped by perceived reward — status, survival, money, love, security, or meaning.
approach 1000 girls, you’ll find a girlfriend
test 1000 products, you’ll get rich off one
post 1000 tweets, you’ll get a banger
life is a number game, take more shots
You enter too many meetings without agenda. A few heuristics for meetings. If you do not need to physically be there, do not be there. If you don’t leave with actionable next steps, the meeting was ultimately a failure. Get concrete next steps every single meeting you have!
