I lost a gig because a contact forgot i handle that specific job.
New prayer unlocked:
May you always come to mind when people are looking for the value you provide.
@MrOlibaba I can totally relate to this. There are places not fit enough to work in honestly. In such places, its better you remain at home and write a book rather than work in such places
@Man_s_Bible@Dating_Dynamics With regards to money conflict, it's very important you watch her on this
Women real character shows when it comes to money conflict
I fell for this too.
I wasted three weeks in January, I was convinced faceless YouTube was my breakthrough.
AI scripts. Voiceovers. Stock footage. “Easy” ad revenue.
I paused coding. Stopped pitching clients. Even my focus at work dropped.
Subscriptions piled up:
-- ElevenLabs
-- Epidemic Sound
-- CapCut
-- Canva
-- Grok and lot's more
The channel? Barely moved.
I wasn’t building.
I was chasing.
The hard truth: I had a higher chance of making money with my agency than starting over in a completely different lane.
“It works” and “it works for you” are different things.
Skill hopping doesn’t just waste money.
It drains momentum.
Lesson learned: Focus compounds. Distraction resets.
Now I’m back to building my freelance business the right way.
Clarity is leverage.
Every time you switch lanes, you reset your compounding effect to zero.
I learned that the expensive way.
After my first year in tech, all I can say is if you have clarity you will stop jumping from one course to another except they're very much related. You just need to land a job that pays well and you will sit your ass down and grow with what you've learnt.
Skill hopping will cost you more than you think.
I spent over six months jumping from one skill to another.
I started with front-end development. Then I switched to mobile development and began learning Flutter. One morning, I woke up and decided I wanted to become a Scrum Master, so I enrolled in a Scrum course, I did technical writing, I even took a crash course in cloud computing😂
I was moving from one thing to the next because I was hungry and desperate. Anytime I heard, “This one pays well,” I would immediately face that direction.
Everything changed when I landed my first remote job.
If you want to learn a skill or go into tech, gain clarity first. Clarity will save you time, money, and energy.
Celebrating 33 years of life today 🥳
As I reflect on the past year, I’m filled with gratitude for how much God has done in my life, my family, and my work. This year wasn’t just about milestones or wins. It was about growth, obedience, and learning to trust the Lord more deeply in every season.
32 was an age to remember:
👶🏽 Welcomed baby Moriah to our family
🏛️ Launched The Frater Family Foundation and The Center for Faith & Business
🏗️ Began our development project, Plaza 210, and reached our initial fundraising goal
🤝 Partnered with my brother Rod to host Feature Day during Tulsa Tech Week
📈 Brought on 7 companies to my advisory portfolio
💳 Paid off the rest of the Credit Card Debt I racked up as a founder
💹 Grew my stock portfolio from $23K to $32K
💙 Joined the Tulsa Dream Center as Director of Development
🎓 Graduated from Leadership Tulsa’s New Voices program and joined LT360
📖 Led a 94X Morning Devotional with over 100,000 people on the call
👥 Started the Tulsa God Squad Monthly Meetup
💧 Completed my first-ever 7-day water-only fast
📚 Participating in the Bible Sprint to read the entire Bible in 9 months
Above all, I’m grateful for God’s grace. Every opportunity, every open and closed door, and every lesson has been part of His perfect plan. This year reminded me that success isn’t about outcomes. It’s about obedience.
Thank you to my wife, Roselly, for being the greatest partner, encourager, and best friend a man could ever ask for. Thank you to my family, friends, mentors, and community for walking with me and pushing me to be better.
Here’s to 33. Walking boldly. Building intentionally. Loving deeply. And continuing to #BuildWithFaith 🙏🏿✝️
This is a show of disgrace !
What happened at the National Assembly that day was a clear disregard for the law.
You can’t determine a two-third majority with Aye or Nay voice vote, especially when the whole chamber was noisy and chaotic.
Such a serious decision requires a proper, recorded vote. Anything less is unconstitutional.
This must never be allowed to happen again. The rule of law cannot be bent for convenience.
@JustKelechi That kind of chaos undermining a serious vote is a major issue. The question now is: How can the National Assembly ensure their voting process is truly transparent and properly recorded for critical decisions going forward? This needs a procedural fix, not just criticism.
