13 Everyone Is a genius
You have been praying for money and you think God has
not answered you, but he has answered you by giving you
an IDEA.
He has opened your eyes to a problem that you have
refused to solve, he has given you knowledge that you
have refused to monetize, he has shown you how to do
something easily and differently but you have not even
noticed it.
I did not pray for money, neither did I call anyone, all I did
was to THINK and ask myself WHAT SERVICE CAN I
PROVIDE to get money this week?
I dare you today to take that bold step, I dare you to think
and act.
Will you fail? Yes, YOU MIGHT FAIL, but that does not
make you a failure. You must understand that failure is
just an EVENT.
Yes, try again but this time, be more wiser and careful.
DEAR INVESTORS
There's nothing wrong investing in Cryptocurrency, gold,
real estate, but as you invest in all those assets, also
invest in yourself.
The Crypto, real estate or gold market can crash but if your
financial intelligence is built, you will make your money
back.
John Obidi once said that he can loose all he has and get
EVERYTHING back so long his MIND is still intact.
You bought Ethereum, lets say for 90k and you're waiting
for it to rise to 50 million after some years. Well, there's
nothing wrong with that at all but just know that there are
some people that will make that money ANYTIME that
want to make it. They're some people that will make that
money in less than an hour.
You can buy a cow for 50k today, feed that cow with
enough food so it grow and get fatter. Then sell it for more
than twice the buying price.
SUCCESSFUL NUISANCE
If you ask some young guys why they want to be rich &
successful. The last thing that will come out from their
mouth is IMPACT. All they will tell you is how they want to
buy big cars, buy expensive clothes, do give aways, party
all night and sleep in expensive hotels.

AFFIRMATIONS.
FOCUS ON IT
I remember vividly when I was trying to learn the structure
of the 20 Amino acids in my 200level.
Focus on it.
BE CURIOUS
Be Curious!
Don't wait for others to spoonfeed you with knowledge.
You should be willing to research and discover
somethings on your own.
Be curious enough that you would pause a movie just to
check the dictionary for the meaning of a new word you
heard in the movie.
Be curious enough that you would go to YouTube to
understand concepts about your field and about life.
When last did you spend time to learn something new on
your own?
When last did you buy a book or listen to an audio course
on a confusing subject matter.
I just listened to David Oyedepo and he said something
that struck me.
He said that Money don't loose Value, its people that loose
value.
That is absolutely true
Understand something, No matter how low naira get
compared to dollars. Aliko Dangote will never go broke.
No matter how hard the economy gets Femi Otedola will
never go hungry.
Why? Because they're men of value.
People pay for value. Everyone needs who can deliver.
Thats why its imperative to build yourself consistently in
this ever changing world.
Make LEARNING your LIFESTYLE.
Always Search for knowledge, have the hunger to know
more.
Last week, I watched Money heist from Season 1 to 3. and
the truth is that apart from the fact that I had fun I also
learmt o.
There were times were I had to pause the movie so that I
could look for the meaning of certain concepts.
I had to do this because I know that LEARNING is LIVING.
Trust me, you don't need more money, you need more
WISDOM.
Money follow wisdom. Its a Biblical principle.
Competence:
This is the ability to do something very well. Competence
is one of the key rudiments to excellence in any life
endeavor (business, academics e.t.c).
A competent individual is one who outperform his/her
colleagues or competitors
Connections:
Every great entrepreneur will tell you that networking is
key in the business world. In your pursuit of excellence,
Don't be a lone wolf. Learn to create relationships with
folks that of the same ambition with you.
Whenever a student compains about his/her academics In
my one on one coaching sessions, the first thing I ask the
student is who's your best friend.
I usually ask them this because I understand the
importance of connections.
Students who surrounds themselves with great minds
usually outperform other students that walk with
unserious people.
Cooperation:
You can have all the connections in the world but if you
fail to cooperate with them, you will fail woefully.
I've seen students who fail exams even when they have
other excellent students with them. I've seen people fail
even when they're under the mentorship of great mentors.
The truth is that you can't help anyone who doesn't want
help. Some people don't want to participate in their rescue,
they want others to spoon feed them.
Nah, its not done that way. For an individual to grow,
he/she must cooperate.
Consistency
Consistency requires one to do something over and over
again until he/she gets results. This requires a lot of
discipline and will power.
You can't read a book once and expect to retain everything.
Yes, its true that you cannot retain every information you
study but you can grasp majority of it by going over the
information again and again.
Saving your money once won't make you a millioniare, you
must consistently and consciously apply the principle of
financial intelligence before you can be financially free.
STRUGGLE STORIES
I bet you don't know that Microsoft wasn't Bill Gates first
company. Bill Gates first company was Traff O data. It was
a failure. He didn't make any dime from the company.
I bet you dont know that Oyedepo fasted for 12 months
when he started his church, winners chapel.
I bet you dont know that John D Rockefeller worked in a
bookstore where he gives half of his weekly salary to his
church
I bet you don't know that as a kid, Aliko Dangote use to
take biscuits and sweets to school to sell.
Wizkid is recognized today, He's wealthy, affluent and
popular but if you look back into his life you will see that
he was once a struggling studio boy, humble to the core
and was willing to learn from his mentor Banky W.
Don't be surprised to know that Mike Adenuga was a taxi
driver, he rode taxi so he could sponsor himself in school.
I bet you don't know that Nadia Buhari was an alcohol
addict, she rose to prominence in the movie industry after
she quitted alcohol.
I bet you do know the Buchi was a night club Disc jockey
and cultist. He was living a purposeless life not until
Pastor Chris oyakhilome led him to Christ and helped him
become a great gospel musician.
People talk about these great individuals, how they enjoy
life, how they wear nice clothes, ride expensive cars and
how they live in luxury. They talk about the vast wealth of
Bill Gates, the expensive clothes of Wizkid, the good life of
Christiano Ronaldo. They focus on the success stories of
this individuals.
They fail to look at their STRUGGLE STORIES. Our youths
want to wear expensive clothes like Wizkid but they don't
want to do the things that Wizkid did. they ain't ready to
learn from his struggle stories, they fail to understand that
success is not an overnight stuff. They are impatient and
just want to enjoy life without sowing the seeds of
greatness first so they seek out ways to earn money which
is only to their detriment.
Christiano Ronaldo didn't become a football star overnight,
Warren Buffet did not become the world greatest investor
overnight, The mellifluous voice of frank Edward didn't just
come to him like that. He worked for it. These successful
individuals worked, they once struggled. They did
something that others didn't do. They obeyed certain
principles.
So I want you to go back into their lives and learn from
their STRUGGLE STORIES. Don't just talk about their
greatness, look at their little beginnings and how they
endured in it. Learn from their setbacks and
dissapointments and use it as leverage to pursue your
dreams.
EVERYONE IS A GENIUS
Everyone is intelligent. Everyone is smart. Society only
focus more on one dimension of intelligence. People only
focus on academic intelligence. They only focus on school
and they neglect other forms of intelligence.
Intelligence is beyond school. It's beyond memorising a
material and reproducing it in exams. The fatal truth is that
most students tend to look down on themselves because
of their low grades in school. They start to judge their
future based on their academic performance. They allow
their school reports to shatter their self esteem and self
image.
One thing society fails to realize is that intelligence is multi
dimensional. they are multiple forms of intelligence. The
question they are asking is if one is intelligent. They ain't
suppose to be asking that. They are supposed to be
asking HOW ONE IS INTELLIGENT.
Everyone is intelligent and smart in some way. Our
strength differs. You won't use your abilities to judge
others. some people are very talented when it comes to
cooking, others are excellent singers. I don't think there's a
school for comedy. But it's evident that our society have
many talented commedians. Everyone is different. Some
people are very sound academically but weak socially.
You must realize that you have talents and strengths for a
particular field. You can't do everything but I believe you
can do something excellently well.
Albert Einstein once said everybody is a genius but if you
judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, It will live it whole
life believing it's stupid. It's fine to have average grades.
It's fine if you're not among top people in your school.
Academic excellence has never been a guarantee for
success in life.
School only test one aspect of intelligence. You must
understand that you're intelligent is some way. You are a
master in an area. Discover that area and start working in
the reality.
Education is more than the four walls of a class room. You
can learn and educate yourself online, by learning a skill.
Bill Gates taught himself computer programming. Les
brown never had a college degree but he improved his
communication skills and vocabulary by himself. Henry
Ford never past the 6th grade. Thomas Edison only had 3
months of schooling. You see! even with limited formal
education, these individuals have risen to the top of their
fields.
With the invention of internet, life have become more
easier you can learn virtually anything online. If you realize
you have interest for something. take bold steps to
become better at that thing. You can learn online by
watching YouTube videos or reading about it.
The truth is that not everyone can graduate with a first
class. But I believe everyone can be successful in some
area. We all have the seed of greatness in us. Success in
life is more than just having good grades (though they are
important). Success is more than IQ. It involves
combination of IQ, EQ and SQ. success involves
determination and persistence. It involves connecting with
the right people.
Friends, it's fine to be an average student as long as you're
putting your best. Never ever look down on your self
because of your grades. You have talents way beyond
what school can offer. The world is looking for problem
solvers not people with certificate only. Your degree is
only but a complement to your natural talents and abilities.
Let me end this write up with a quote from ROBERT MORE,
a Proffesor from Columbia University....
The man who's been active on the campus, whose
personality is such that he gets along with all kinds of
people and who has done an adequate job with his
studies has a most edge over the strictly academic
student.
DON'T BE A SPECTATOR
Few months ago. I went to a nearby school to ask for an
opportunity to speak to the students.
The principal of the school collected my contact and he
told me that he will get back to me.
He didn't call.
I called him but he told me that my speaking engagement
won't work out. I was disappointed.
Last month, I went back to the same school asking them
for a chance to speak.
"So sorry, an NGO is coming to speak to our students and
we can't take any other speaker now. Please come some
other time " The principal said to me.
I decided to try other schools. I went to two other schools
and asked them to allow me talk to their students. Guess
what.
The two schools agreed.
I just finished my second speaking engagement with the
second school. It was an amazing session with the
students. I talked to them on the "Importance of reading
and self education"
I'm so glad and grateful to God for giving me an
opportunity to make a mark and impact the lives of those
kids.
I may not have enough money to give them. But I have
something "MY WORDS"
Remember I was rejected twice but something kept
pushing me. Something kept on telling me to try again.
That's PASSION.
My question to you today is that WHAT ARE YOU
PASSIONATE ABOUT?
WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR?
Do you come to this world to be a spectator. Do you come
to watch others succeed and do great things.
Obviously your answer is No
Then start blessing others. Start impacting lives. Start
giving back to your world.
You have a passion, dream, aspiration or idea. Go after it.
Don't allow fear or rejection paralyze you.
Please don't!
So WHO'S RICHER?
Mr A or B
Some of them are in their late 50's or 60's & they're still
working..
If I don't build wealth for myself now, if I don't take risks &
fail now, if I don't start that business now, if I don't pay for
that course now, WHAT WILL BE OF ME IN 20 YEARS TIME?
See eh, starting late is not an option, YOU WILL REGRET IT,
so don't say I want to PLAY now. I will starting educating
myself & investing when I am 30 or 35.
Infact most of what cost little now will cost more in the
future, for instance some of the course you have access to
now for small money will be more EXPENSIVE in the future.
Dear student, don't wait till you finish school first, start
NOW
KILL SHAME
I have never seen a SHY millionaire.
Anybody wey won talk make e talk. Las las na your bank
account matter.
Yes! God have given you ideas that can help you generate
thousands of naira, but you have neglected it because you
want to become a millionaire overnight
Dear friends, If you act on small ideas, BIG ideas will come.
(THE LAW OF ATTRACTION)
...and by that time, you might have ganered all the guts
and boldness to act on them.
No one becomes a millionaire overnight, it's a process. So
see SMALL ideas, as part of the process.
But the truth is that they (the youths) are getting it wrong.
They tell you about their millions because they want you to
be In millions.
They tell you about their good houses and cars because
they want you to have yours.
