Looking around me to see those we started a life together, one thing is obvious; I’m very much successful than most of them. Could that be because I work harder than everyone? No. maybe it’s because I was born by wealthier parents? Far from it, or luck? I don’t think so. Instead, I believe that my success is as a result of one important habit. I believe if you have this habit, your success is almost guaranteed and that’s…
Celestine Chua was a child when her parents and teachers began to sing it in her ears that “our objective in life was to be successful and financially abundant”, pointing at certain celebrities, successful businessmen, corporate leaders, and local politicians as models to follow. As a result, it was clear what she needed to do. Go to school, get good grades, get a good job, earn a huge amount of salary and eventually become successful.
Since Celestine was too young…
A few weeks ago I was thinking about promoting one of the employees of my company. Since she works for us remotely I didn’t really know so much about her and I didn’t want to invite her for an interview because the old model of an interview is outdated. You see, people can tell you nice thing during the interview but there’s a place where you can see them the real way they are and that’s on social media….
A few months ago I was having a conversation with one of my friends. He’s a mid-negative individual. He thinks the era we are is not favorable. He thinks our fathers lived at the better period in human history than us. So many people hold this view and whenever I meet or hear from any of them, I have a reason to cry. Really? Why do these people think that it was easier to be rich and successful last…
I remember when I was a little boy, I hated my parents (especially my father) for marrying each other because both of them are having AS genotype and as a result of that, I have SC genotype and that made me a sickly boy. I suffered terrible rheumatism for the first 17 years of my life and whenever I remembered that it wasn’t my fault to be in such a terrible situation, I hated my father for it.
However, when…
Kemmons Wilson and his family decided that summer will be a good time to go for a family vacation. Guess what? Summer came and it was time to go on a motoring vacation. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, it wasn’t anywhere close to fun as there was nothing special about it. Why?
The Wilsons (Mr Wilson, his wife and five children) had no choice but to lodge in one room at the motel because, at the time, most…
In the culture where I grew up, they have a proverb that goes something like, “there’s something ugly behind riches”.
I don’t know maybe you’ve heard something like that before but one thing I do know is that, almost everywhere in the world, most people believe that the rich are bad people or that riches is ugly.
In today’s video, I’m going to be sharing with you how you can be poor forever. Though I wonder why you’re interested…
Six days ago I employed a university graduate to work with my company. She was given a few instructions as per the company’s policies among which is that we don’t use social media at work.
That was Monday and by Friday, she was caught scrolling through the Instagram and Facebook and she was fired immediately. Why was she fired? Well, she broke the company’s law.
But why don’t we give her a second chance?
Well, let the truth be…
What 99% of People Don’t Know About Making Money Online
Over a decade ago when I was preparing to go into the business world, one of my business teachers taught me, “You see, wherever people are, money is there”. In other words, people are money. Understanding this simple concept has helped me more than many other concepts I learned over the years. The funny thing is that, my teacher didn’t teach me that it’s possible to have all these people…
The one thing that’ll make you the greatest person in the world
As a little boy, Larry Page has always been dreaming of becoming an inventor. As a teenager, he was busy studying the works and biographies of great inventors who have lived before him. Page was only 12 when he read the biography of Tesla. He noticed how Tesla was a great inventor who failed because he was never an entrepreneur like Thomas Edison. Discovering this, Page decided to…
When I was 15, I started dreaming of becoming an Accountant. Though at this time I had my own little business, since nobody in my immediate environment talked about entrepreneurship, I didn’t even know that any poor boy like me could build a company. So, I wanted to work for a company as an accountant. Since I wanted to be a great accountant, I looked for a newspaper and cut out the image of one of the most successful…
The first time I created the business I’m proud of, I was a boy of 15. It was a bicycle renting service business. I bought a bicycle and other poor boys like me would come to me to rent my bicycle and pay me per minute. These young boys would do many wrong things to patronize my business. Some of them would keep the money they ought to use to eat so that they could come and give me…
I was born by poor parents. One of them was a farmer and the other a trader. Not only that, I was born sickly and had to suffer rheumatism for the first 17 years of my life.

The one skill that is valuable than a college degree
I grew up in a society where degree and school are worshiped. When children get admission to the university, their parents are happy. The children themselves become proud and arrogant because it’s a big deal. When a child graduates from the university, his mother cherishes that graduation photograph than her gold and his father sit down on the round table with his friends and brag about the fact that his…
Why You Should Stop Using Facebook & Instagram
About 13 years ago, wherever I went, I would meet someone who would tell me, “Hey, let’s connect on the Facebook”, to which I’ll answer, “I don’t use Facebook”. One day I asked one of my friends to tell me about what they were doing on Facebook and he told me that you can connect with your friends and chat with them anytime. That didn’t seem to be what I wanted to…
The one mistake most employees make & regret later
When I was growing up, my view about life was; live the exact way you want to live or don’t live.
Do the exact job you love to do or do nothing. Be who you want to be or don’t live.
Because life is one and short, I think it doesn’t worth living it doing what you hate.
According to the Gallup Poll, 85% of employees worldwide hate their jobs. This is a…
On Friday, 14th of March, 1879 a boy was born. But unlike most other boys, he had a problem with speaking, so he didn’t speak until three years of age and it even took him several more years after that before he could speak fluently.
He didn’t just have a problem with speaking; he also couldn’t read. He didn’t read until he was seven years of age.
Needless to say, elementary school was a struggle for him which led to…
Elon Musk’s Advice for Young People Who Want to Be Rich
A few days ago I was going through the comments on our videos so I read a comment which I suspect was written by a man. He wrote something like, “I can’t be an entrepreneur because it’s too difficult to be an entrepreneur”. He went further to state that an average entrepreneur failed about a decade before they succeed.
What this commenter forgot to state is the fact that, even…
Since when I was a little boy, I’ve always loved to have many friends. Though at a time in my life I understood that I had to be selective about people I hang out with, I still understand that, even though some people are poor, they still have some good virtues I can learn from so, I keep a few friends who are smart but poor, even though I spend more time with my friends who are smart and…
Sometimes ago Warren Buffet said that he thinks he was lucky because if he were born a woman, he’s most likely going to be a different person, considering the fact that those days women were believed to be far less important than men.
Here is the thing; luck does exist but where most people get it wrong is that they don’t know what luck means and what it takes to be lucky.
In today’s video, I’m going to be sharing with…
