Micheal Jordan makes $400M a year from Jordan Brand because he had originally turned down Nike to sign with Adidas but his mom disagreed with him and urged him to listen to her and sign with Nike.
Nike offered Jordan $500k per year and his own shoe line but his mom wanted him to have equity in the company instead.
Today Nike pays Michael Jordan over $250 million per year for his entire life. Jordan Brand is worth over $10 BN and Jordan’s net worth is approximately $4.3 BN
He has earned the majority of his net worth because he listened to his mom ❤️
Tony Robbins reveals the three skills he says will make anyone unstoppable in the AI era
"The first thing is pattern recognition. If you start recognizing patterns fear disappears. Losers react, leaders anticipate. Anticipation is power"
"The second skill is when you learn to use the patterns. The third level skill is pattern creation. That's what you've begun to do. That's what I've begun to do. It's like when you learn to play a piano, most people learn someone else's patterns. But if you do enough, now you get to come out and you start creating things"
Nigeria actually lived out that Pan-African ethos, and what do we get for it today? Contempt and disrespect from many African countries, whose ordinary citizens and even some leaders won’t stop making fun of Nigeria in their speeches. This is why I think diplomatic unity in Africa suffers; it is often not reciprocated, and sometimes the country you helped today may insult you tomorrow or even tolerate xenophobic attacks against your people.
I haven’t heard much disrespect from Angola, but look at South Africa. How much did we send there when they were most vulnerable? Millions of dollars. Even Namibia, do they know how much we supported SWAPO in its struggle against apartheid-era South African occupation? We literally helped save Sierra Leone and Liberia with the blood of our soldiers, even if those interventions had some rough edges. Ghana too, how many cash endowments did we send over there?
Now it feels like every African country wants to open its mouth and slander Nigeria, as if we didn’t support many of them against all odds, even at the expense of our own domestic needs, which is where I think we went wrong. You take care of home first before giving away resources.
Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.
AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.
This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.
We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.
Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.
The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.
Income is the lowest level of wealth.
Even high income is still just you trading effort, skill, or attention for cash.
The next level up is leveraged income.
That’s when other people are doing work and you earn from the spread.
Better but it’s still income.
The real shift happens at the equity level.
Equity is ownership.
Equity is the dollar value of what you own in something.
Income is fuel.
Equity is wealth.
Earn your income, buy equity.
