Whether it was family, friends, or even just acquaintances, their expectations had become like invisible chains holding me down. I began to realize that with every expectation, I was losing a bit of myself, my own dreams, and my own pace in life.
One evening, as I sat alone in my thoughts, it struck me that I had been living more for others than for myself. It was a hard truth to face, but once I accepted it, I knew I had to start choosing what was right for me.
HERE ARE MY OPINIONS ABOUT THE ONGOING MARK & DENILSON SAGA.
In various bulleted points.
1. If you are my partner in a business and you DO NOT cushion any cost, wether logistic, running cost, equipment cost, to the point that even if you had left, the brand will remain strong and still continue to grow--- then you were never a partner. A Business can loss an employee and still continue, but a company losing its owner would definitely fizz out with time.
2. If you are naive to the point where you have no idea, almost zero communication to the the internal working of a firm, you are not called or ever served as an intermediary, never proven yourself to be worthy of any position of such. Then you truly didn't qualify to lead. A true leader is sought after not forced and cajoled into leadership.
3. Let's talk about marketing: No business or brand can survive without marketing, strategic collaboration is marketing on it's own. If you as a partner never brought marketing strategies, or successfully and intentionally made marketing calls for the success of the brand, that was useful for our growth, then you're just an employee-- even nowadays employees are charged with a mandate to attach marketing to what they do for the brand.
4. Monetization: While you were at this brand, what strategies or actions did you major to see that the action you took for this company yield fruits. Did you take your time to "learn on the job" and researched? or you were just okay with the little menial tasks that didn't directly yield returns? aka passing out time.
5: Ideas doesn't translate to value or money. That's why many of us have ideas but nothing in our bank accounts. When you start working on ideas thats when you'd know it needs more than an idea to build a lasting brand.
5b. Are you led by achieving goals from your ideas or you just want to feed your stomach.
SOME FACTS FOR YOU:
A. We know social media and it's hypes, yes, Mark doesn't make up to $400k/m, it never did such a number, i can assure you it's exaggeration, but yes it's considerably big figure was made.
B. Denilson Igwe was paid off in 2019 for 10m in 5 splits which he agreed to. This is a sense of someone led by hunger overly naive to even build something. A wise person would rather chose a stake in the brand, say 5-20% of the brand income monthly while he's also making inputs to see further growth.
C. As far back as 2014/15 Mark Angel was all about promotion and monetization, he was famous for trekking from places to places with laptop bags, he would call bloggers and appreciate them for posting their contents.
So my Dear young entrepreneurs be careful of "attachments", they are everywhere, zero inputs waiting to cry foul in the future.
Your presence in a company might have zero input without financing core actions that will lead to value in return. If it was just ideas, you reading this piece would have turned one of the many ideas you have into cash by tomorrow morning.

@fidelisozuawala 10million Naira was over $25k as at then it's as same as given him N40 million now...he squandered the money....that money was enough to help him build afresh...if he had the potential of building.
@fidelisozuawala If he believed in the brands growth..he would have opt for percentage, contributions and commissions. For instance Eduardo Facebook co founder, after their settlement he didn't accept to be paid off...he still insisted on owning some %.. .
