learn to go where wealthy people go. you don’t have to spend like them, you just have to stop feeling like you don’t belong there.
i remember when i couldn’t afford the lifestyle i wanted yet.
every friday evening, i’d walk into a high end hotel lobby, order one coffee, sit in the same corner and open my laptop like i belonged there. nobody knew i was going back to a small brokie apartment after 😂 all they saw was someone comfortable in that environment. week after week, something changed.
i stopped feeling like an outsider. i studied how people spoke, how they carried themselves, how deals were discussed and how confidence looked in real life.
one night, a man approached me cos he assumed i was a regular. that conversation opened a door to an opportunity i wasn’t qualified for on paper but i carried myself like i was. do you know that months later, my reality caught up with that environment i had been exposing myself to. nothing magical happened. i simply stopped seeing that world as theirs and started seeing it as a place i belonged too
i will repeat this again;
if you spend all day at a fish market, you’ll leave smelling like fish even if you never touched one but spend your day in a perfume shop and you’ll carry the scent even if you didn’t buy anything, that’s how environment works. it rubs off, whether you realize it or not. the scent of your environment will always follow you.
wealth starts with familiarity before it starts with money. your mind has to accept a reality before ur life can build it. learn something, buena suerte.

I’ll give you 10.
1. Buy a car before you build a house.
2. Start investing now. Even if it’s just ₦10,000 every single month. Give it 10 years and you’ll thank yourself.
3. Never spend money to please anybody. Spend only when it's needed. Know the difference between needs and wants.
4. Invest in your future, not in validation. Don’t buy the latest iPhone just so people can see you have money. A smartphone is a smartphone.
5. Live on 70% of your salary. The other 30% goes strictly into savings and investments. No excuses.
6. Stop womanizing. Find one good woman and stay loyal. Womanizing costs far more than you think.
7. Never engage in fraud. You’ll only destroy your future. Dirty money will cost you your peace and your health.
8. If you earn ₦100k a month, your rent should never exceed ₦100–150k. You shouldn’t have to save for months just to pay rent. One month’s salary (or one and a half at most) should cover it.
9. Invest in mutual funds.
10. Invest in good books. Read financial books. Here are 10 I recommend:
- The Richest Man in Babylon - George S. Clason
- Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
- The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel
- I Will Teach You To Be Rich – Ramit Sethi
- The Millionaire Next Door – Thomas J. Stanley
- Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill
- Your Money or Your Life – Vicki Robin
- The Intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham
- Atomic Habits – James Clear (money is built on habits)
- A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel
Above all, love God.
YOU'RE NOT DEPRESSED. YOUR LIFE JUST HAS NO SIDE QUESTS.
