(btw, I ate too right?🤭)
After taking a long walk this evening, I went home to freshen up before going straight to the kitchen to serve Egusi pepper soup cooked with fresh Isoko river fish and little eba for me to eat for dinner.
People from Nigeria, India, and other developing countries earn less money doing online services than those in America & Europe.
It has nothing to do with physical location, but the mental framework they’ve adopted from growing up in poverty.
$100 is a 2-month salary in Nigeria.
In America, it’s a nice dinner for two at a restaurant.
Because of this, they get programmed to think $100 is a lot of money.
Because to them, it is.
They set their limitations based on how money works in their country, not in the world.
So when they go to work online, they make an amazing website for a couple hundred.
I have a friend in EU who charges 10k+ for websites. He’s 17. Always fully booked & makes a couple mil a year.
The path to making more money online isn’t more clients or more work.
It’s breaking the limiting beliefs you grew up with.
Rewiring your brain so YOU believe you’re worth more.
Spend time connecting with people who make more than you to understand what’s really possible.
It's much more achievable than you think🫣
One day you’ll wake up as a 33-year-old without professional experience to join a decent company as an experienced hire and not young enough for entry level positions.
You can choose to waste your 20s by being a banger boy/girl. There will always be 'nepo babies' to troll.
Most people judge clothes on Temu by the photos.
Big mistake.
The fastest way to avoid buying clothes that feel like cheap plastic is to ignore the pictures and read the Fabric Composition.
Here's a simple cheat sheet:
Avoid (unless blended well)
• 100% Polyester
• 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
• Cheap synthetic blends
Run away.
These are usually thin, shiny, trap heat, build static, and often feel like swimwear instead of actual clothing.
Look for
• Modal (extremely soft)
• Combed Cotton
• Ring-Spun Cotton
• 100% Cotton
• Viscose/Rayon (soft and smooth)
If you're shopping for specific items:
Jeans:
Search "100% Cotton Denim", "Heavyweight Denim", or "Rigid Denim".
Dress shirts:
Search "Oxford Cotton", "Cotton Poplin", or "100% Cotton Dress Shirt".
Jackets:
Search "Heavyweight", "Fleece Lined", or "Wool Blend".
Vintage clothes:
Look for Corduroy, Heavy Knit, or Washed Cotton.
One last trick that saves me money every time:
Never trust the product photos.
Go straight to the reviews, filter by "With Photos", and look at pictures uploaded by real buyers. That's where you'll see what the fabric actually looks and feels like.
Also look out for promos, you can get stuff for cheap and free packages for a cheap price.
Hope this helps once you understand your size, body, texture or material you're good.
The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.
Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”
They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.
Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.
