Most Clients are now embracing Trusts over Wills. Here are some of the benefits of a Trust:

1. Trust assets are separate from matrimonial property, meaning that upon divorce, property properly held in a Trust will not form part of the matrimonial property available for division.

2. If you go broke and your business fails, Trust assets are protected from creditors. Clever people understand this.

3. Trusts are tax efficient. Beneficiaries receive distributions without being taxed again where the relevant tax has already been paid by the trustee.

4. Upon your death, beneficiaries benefit from Trust assets without having to go through the lengthy succession cases.

There are numerous other benefits of Trusts. That’s why I get excited whenever I’m registering one.Registering a Trust takes one or two weeks.

I endorse this.

A few tips I've gleaned from my 20 year career.

Value; read books, 📚 when I'm down on my visa, I go to pdfdrive punch in a topic I want to improve in and download the books between 5 to 10.

Open networking; I attend events planned a year in advance where I have a 90% chance of interfacing with my ideal client (employer too). I ensure to listen keenly to their presentation or their communication as they share with their peers. I don't pull out a business card but request for theirs and follow up with, "what you shared with...was insightful, I'd like to learn more...

Mentorship; goes a long way in learning from people 20 years or so ahead of me through paid mentorship. If I'm down again on cash, I'll binge their YouTube channel to learn a thing or two.

Competence building; By far the hardest. In my day to day I take off 1 hour during lunch to something new that I know will give me an edge. Today for example, I took out time to learn about n8n for workflows, and video creation with seddance, higgsfield and heygen combined.

Ask for Referrals.

Value In Advance; I do this everyday on my socials but also in groups and communities. Helps with Top of Mind Awareness. If it's a skill I know people do need and something that keeps them up at night, I share through a tutorial. Been at it from 2019, going to change the format as that model is tired.

By far these have worked for me.

[Akíntúndé Babátúndé @olorunwababs]

One thing I keep telling younger friends and colleagues is to develop depth in something.

Chase global opportunities. Apply for the fellowships. Go to the conferences. Build your network. Travel if you get the opportunity. Put yourself in rooms where you can meet people and see what is possible.

All of these things can change your life.

But somewhere along the way, make sure you are actually becoming very good at something.

Know something deeply. Develop a skill people can trust you with. Become the person who understands a subject beyond what can be picked up from a few articles or a weekend workshop.

Because opportunities can give you access, but access eventually exposes your level of competence.

You can get into the room through a fellowship. You can meet important people at a conference. You can build an impressive LinkedIn profile. You can collect certificates from some of the best institutions in the world.

Eventually, somebody will ask you to do the work.

Write the paper.

Analyse the data.

Lead the project.

Edit the story.

Build the product.

Explain the problem.

Manage the team.

Advise the organisation.

And at that point, there is nowhere to hide.

This is why I worry sometimes when I see young people becoming very good at chasing opportunities without spending enough time developing the competence those opportunities are supposed to accelerate.

Your twenties and thirties are a great time to explore. Try different things. Move across fields. Discover what interests you. I certainly do not believe everyone needs to spend their entire career doing one thing.

But exploration should still leave you with accumulated knowledge and ability.

If you have worked in climate for five years, you should understand climate issues much better than someone who arrived yesterday.

If you have covered elections for years, you should know the history, institutions, data, actors and debates around elections.

If you work in AI, go beyond knowing the latest tools. Understand how the technology works, the policy debates, the business models, the limitations and the important questions in the field.

If you are a journalist, learn to report and write exceptionally well.

Whatever it is, go deep enough that people can depend on what you know and what you can do.

And depth takes time.

It comes from reading. Practice. Repetition. Failure. Working with people better than you. Being corrected. Doing difficult assignments. Staying with a problem long enough to understand the things that are invisible from the surface.

Global opportunities are valuable. Networks matter. Visibility can help. I have benefited enormously from all three.

But none of them makes competence obsolete.

If anything, the more access you get, the more important competence becomes.

Because getting into the room is one thing.

Having something valuable to contribute when you get there is another.

Competence will never go out of fashion.
