20. All this motivational speaker sef
IS SCHOOL REALLY A SCAM?
People always talk about individuals who have become
successful without much schooling. They talk about
milloniares and billoniares without college degrees. Now
think, what about the milloniares that went to school. The
ones who were excellent in school and are excellent in life.
Some people will say that 2face was a dropout but they
won't tell you that psquare were graduates.
They will tell you that Mark Zuckerberg did not Complete
his schooling but they won't tell you that Jeff Bezos (The
world's richest man) was a Princeton graduate.
They will tell you that Aliko Dangote did not go to school
when they have never researched into his biography.
Friends if you may know, Dangote has a bachelor's degree
in business studies and administration.
While it’s true that there are successful college dropouts,
statistically speaking, they are not the norm. As
researchers in education and talent, found that the vast
majority of the world success stories are college
graduates, such as Sheryl Sandberg (Harvard), Jeff Bezos
(Princeton), Femi Otedola (OAU) and Marissa Mayer
(Stanford)
According to billoniares census by Wealth-X, the vast
majority of billionaires did make it to a bachelors degree,
and many went farther and they estimated that only 739
out of the total 2,473 billionaires were college dropouts.
If you check properly, most of the people that say school
is scam are actually scammers themselves. They don't
want to read and study. So they use the statement "School
na scam" as an excuse. They don't believe in working hard
and making money in the right way.
It's true that you can become rich with little schooling. But
I tell you it's impossible to be successful without some
form of education whether formal or informal. School
provides formal education and we should embrace it.
School provides the foundation for developing our mental
capabilities. School teaches you to read and write.
Education has made village children president of nations.
It has made life easier through the development of
technologies and medicine. Hence, school is not a scam.
Now tell me, why is it that most successful individuals
who have achieved greatness without much schooling
send their children to the best schools in the world, if truly
school is a scam
It's fine if you don't want to go school. It's okay if you want
to pursue your talents or learn a skill. But I advise you get
rid of the school na scam mentality. Because you might
even discourage people from going to school. Also, don't
forget that when you acquire a skill without going to
school you will be classified as a middle class skilled
person.
Study, Be serious in school, have good grades and use the
platform to express your potential. Those were the words
of Pastor Emmie Oludele. Being excellent in school and in
life is a plus. It's an advantage.
So get rid of the School na scam mentality. School is not a
scam.

THE LAW OF AFFIRMATION


Several years ago, I was reading a book titled The secret
by Rhonda Byrne and she wrote something that struck me.
She said, Most people don't get what they want in life
because they focus on what they don't want.
Yes, I totally agree with her. By focus, she meant that they
talk, think, see and feel what they don't want in life.
So according to the law of attraction, they eventually
attracts those things into their lives unconsciouslly.
Think about this, what if you use the same energy you use
to worry and focus on the bad things in life to focus on the
positives.
Don't you think your life would be better?
Before I entered school, I told myself repeatedly that I
would be the best in my department and I was the best in
my dept from my 200 level till when I graduated.
I remember telling my friend victor that I would write a
book before I graduate and in my 400level second
semester, I wrote a book.
I would consistently affirm my goals and I watched them
came to pass.
Affirmation is saying a thing repeatedly. Its saying
something until you believe it.
While affirming, you don't look at your circumstances or
present situation. You just keep saying what you believe
about your life.
You keep saying those positive statements into your
future.
It takes a lot of faith to do this because you won't see
immediate results.
But you just have to keep saying it. Don't stop.
Continue talking...
Develop the value of saying the right things because it is
your VALUES that will determine your VALUE in life.

TWO SET OF PEOPLE THAT WIll


NEVER BE RICH
1. People that don't solve a problem
This is one of the challenge of some people. After praying,
fasting and sowing seeds. They expect money to fall from
heaven or they expect one stranger to just give them 10
million naira.
Most people don't have anything they can sell or any
service they can deliver, yet they expect money to come.
God said, I will bless the works of your hands. The issue is
that most people don't have any work.
They disobey the enternal principal which is SOWING
before REAPING.
Before money will come to you, you need to give out value
first. People pay for value.
That's why Zig ziglar said, if you give as much people what
they want, they will give you what you want.
In other words, the money you're looking for is with people.
To collect it, GIVE them value.
Its VALUE for VALUE.
2. People that don't give money.
There is something called the 70/30 principle.
Let me explain, The 70/30 principle states that for every
major money that enters your hand, 70 percent is for your
expenses, 20 percent is for your savings and investment
while 10 percent is for giving.
If you want to be rich, make It an habit of giving part of
your income to charity, church or any course you believe in.
Except you want to remain a pauper forever, you must get
rid of the receiving mentality.
You always have something to give to others.
Don't wait till you have much before you start giving, give
from the little you have.
Les brown said you don't become great to get started, you
get started to become great.
MONEY IS IN IDEAS
MONEY IS IN IDEAS

Do not pray for money. Pray for an IDEA to create money.

Money is rooted in ideas, the more ideas you have, the


more money will come to you.

All my ebooks, audio courses, digital trainings and


services all came in the form of IDEAS.

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.

MONEY is in IDEAS, Last week Monday, I lost some money


because of some poor investment decisions I made, so I
needed money.

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 pondered for sometime and BOOM an idea came to me


and guess what? I made 10,000 naira on Wednesday night
without leaving my house.

Yes! The alerts came in, all I needed to do was to provide


1000 naira service for TEN people online.
Simple right?

The money came because I got an IDEA and I ACTED on it.

The money you're looking for is inside of you.

Yes! You're carrying it.

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.

It happens to everyone, Bill gates has failed, Aliko dangote


has failed, Mike Adenuga is a product of many failures
BUT they all refused to give up.

So DON'T GIVE UP.


Try again!

Yes, try again but this time, be more wiser and careful.

Use your experience as leverage and make SMART


DECISIONS.

Always remember this, MONEY IS IN IDEAS

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.

The best investment you can make is to invest in yourself.


See your mind as an asset, develop It, consume quality
content DAILY.

You that is depending on your etheruem, what if


something happens to your wallet?

You that is depending on the money in your account, what


if something happens to your bank?

John Obidi once said that he can loose all he has and get
EVERYTHING back so long his MIND is still intact.

Donald trump was once in a 9.2 billion dollars debt, but


that same man is one of the richest politicians today.

Anybody that cannot get all his money back if he/she


looses it is not rich. They might look rich, but they aren't.
True wealth is a thing of the mind. For me, I think it should
also be measured by the quality of your thinking and your
ability to produce results.
If Nigeria youths understand this, they won't run after
money, instead they will run after knowledge.

Without knowledge, skills and accurate information, a


man's wealth cannot last.

Musicians, public speakers and consultants are being paid


millions of dollars just to perform for minutes.

When I watched how RUSSEL BRUNSON made millions of


dollars in less than an hour, I understood more why I
needed to develop myself.

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.

The difference between you and that person is that they


have invested in themselves more than you.

Everybody is an investor, some invest in assets (real


estates, gold, agriculture e.t.c), some invest in themselves,
some invest in liabilities.

So what are you investing in?

For me, I invest in assets and this include my mind. Yes! I


see my mind as an asset. In fact it is my GREATEST asset.

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.

Why did the value of the cow increase?

Simple, the owner invested in it.

Friends, brothers, sisters, father, mother, uncles and


aunties THE GREATEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE IS
TO INVEST IN YOURSELF. Don't take this likely.

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.

See eh, I pray that some people never become successful


because according to Olakunle Soriyan, they will become
NUISANCE to the society. For instance what do you think
that a broke guy that sleeps with different girls daily will
do when he has money.
He is broke, yet he is destroying the destinies of our girls,
that means he will cause more damage and havoc when
he becomes successful.

A lot of successful celebrities have made our girls loose


their home trainings because of their give aways.

We are tired of having rich people that cannot add value to


the society instead they use their money to cause more
havoc.

We need people with value who can make a lasting impact


in the society. People who can take on big projects, people
who can cause positive change, people who are
determined to leave legacies. People that will add to the
GDP of our nation.

We need those people fela durotoye called nation builders,


generation shapers and society leaders. We need captains
of industries, people with morals and great leadership
skills.
Anybody can have money and can parade his/her self as a
success. But Money without valuable contribution is not
true success. If your money is only aiding the destruction
of people, then you're not successful. You're just a
NUISANCE.

Dear youth, In the pursuit of wealth and financial freedom


make sure you don't forget to pursue true meaning and
purpose. Always seek to make lives better for others in
any possible way you can. The people that become truly
great are those that are SELFLESS, those that don't just
focus on their PERSONAL AGGRANDIZEMENT.

I watched ALLEN ONYEMA yesterday and he said


something striking, He said that the major reason he
started AIR PEACE was to CREATE MORE EMPLOYMENT
for people. The goal was not to enrich himself more, it was
to enrich other lives. That is true success.

Focus on building lives and making others better. If the


only thing you have is money, then you're POOR.
Some people are so poor, the only thing they have is
MONEY. Take money away from them, and they're empty.

Olakunle Soriyan

OUR PARENT HAVE CURSED US


It's only in Africa you will see a mother telling his own child
E NO GO EVER BETA FOR YOU.

African parents will CURSE their children without feeling


any remorse. This is one of the reason why we have bunch
of Africans causing nuisance in the society.

Listen! AFRICAN CHILD. SOME of our parents have


CURSED US (Unknowingly), foreigners have cursed us,
even our own government have tonguelashed us.

You are now cursing yourself.(By not saying the right


words) But it's not your fault, you don't know that your
words carry power, our parents don't know that, our
government don't know that too because SCHOOL don't
teach it.

Dear Africans, There's a way out of this mess.

AFFIRMATIONS.

Yes! AFFIRMATIONS is the answer. They have cursed you,


but you can't continue cursing yourself. Start AFFIRMING
right words over your life. Speak blessings into your future
IF you want to see blessings.

I know that affirmation works because I was the BEST in


my dept from my 200l till when I graduated and I don't
think any day passed in school without me saying I'M THE
BEST.

Today my affirmation is I'M A MILLIONAIRE, watch me


grow into a millionaire.

FOCUS ON IT
I remember vividly when I was trying to learn the structure
of the 20 Amino acids in my 200level.

I was still a Novice in biochemistry so I was scared, but


when I found out that drawing the structures of the amino
acids is usually compulsory in exams, I DECIDED to learn it.
What I did was that I drew the structures on a card board
paper and I pasted it on the wall of my house close to my
reading table and I looked at it EVERYDAY before going to
bed. I did this for about a month and I learnt how to draw
all the amino acids.

Though I didn't draw it in exam but I learnt something


profound from that experience.

That experience made me to understand THE LAW OF


ATTRACTION more.

It states that anything you focus on will multiply in your life.

Brethen, Have you wondered why you tend to master a


habit when you do it for some time. Its the THE LAW OF
ATTRACTION
Have you wondered why some ladies fall for persistent
guys, it's THE LAW OF ATTRACTION .
Have you wondered why the rich get richer and the poor
gets poorer, THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Have you wondered why you shed tears while watching a


tragic movie, THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

I remembered the structures of the first 20 Amino acids


because I FOCUSED on it.

Do you want anything to multiply in your life? FOCUS ON IT

Do you want more money? Focus on creating more


income streams

Do you want more connections? Focus on building


relationships.

The key word is FOCUS


What do you want?

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.

Friends, Brothers, sisters, just increase your value and men


will pursue you.
Read the next line carefully.
The only difference between the CEO and his Driver is
KNOWLEDGE.
So choose. Do you want to be the CEO or the driver?
LIFE IS A BUSINESS
Wait.

Before you read, See what the bible says.


Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain
wisdom in the future.
Poverb 19:20.
I'd hope you accept the instructions and advice in this
writeup. Oya read.
...............
Don't you think that Nigeria would be better if youths put
the same energy they put doing irrelevant things into their
personal development?
Don't you think that Nigeria would be better if youths think
more of giving to the country than receiving?
Don't you think that Nigeria would be better if our youths
spend time thinking and talking about ideas rather than
meditating and talking about the problems?
See eh. You have no business playing football EVERYDAY
if you're not dreaming of becoming a professional
footballer.
You shouldn't watch movies 5 hours everyday if you're not
aspiring of becoming an actor/actress.
Brother/sister, you're not a model o yet you spend a lot of
money on expensive clothes just to impress others.
Please tell yourself the truth. Is it worth it?
All the extravagance, waste of time, energy and effort. Is it
really worth it?
How can you say that you want to become a business
mogul, yet you don't know anything about business but
you know the name of all the nollywood actress.
I pity you, if you think that bill gates got to were he is by
playing 24/7.
Money you don't have.
Book you dont know.
Business you don't have. Yet you still have the MIND to
sleep, watch movies and play any how.
Am I being harsh? Hell yes.
I'm being harsh because I want you to change.
Mr Man this life is not a playing ground. Life is a business.
it's either you're recording loses or making gain.
I'm not saying watching movies or having fun is bad. It
isn't
But your life shouldn't be all about playing. Sometimes you
need to be serious.
Don't let that I'm still young mentality deceive you.
You're not too young to change the world. The best time to
start is NOW.

THE FIVE C'S OF EXCELLENCE


Consciousness:
Excellent people are people that are conscious of their
strengths and weaknesses and are willing to work on their
weakness.

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.

KICK START YOUR DREAM


You are not too young to start. Stop looking down on
yourself. It's neither too early nor too late to start making a
difference. In fact the earlier you start the better for you.
You don't need permission from anyone to pursue your
dreams. You must take responsibility for your life.
Robert kiyosaki author of the best seller rich dad poor dad
started his first business at the age of nine. He and his
friend Mike opened a comic book library with an
abandoned room in his parent basement. They hired
Mike's younger sister to be the head librarian. She charged
each child 10 cent admission to the library. Before then
they have tried casting nickel out of lead but they were
discouraged by Roberts father.
Bill Gates the second richest man in the world and the CEO
of Microsoft wrote and sold his first computer program at
the age of 13. He and his partner Paul Allen started a
business Traf O data to build computers that would
analyze the data from traffic monitors on city streets;
Gates says the device worked, but nobody bought it.
What about Warren buffet, Another of the world's richest
men. As a boy, Buffett was intensely interested in learning
about business and investing, and he wanted to make
money. He ran several newspaper routes, and at age
eleven he bought his first stock, Cities Service preferred.
At fifteen, he and a friend bought a used pinball machine
and installed it in a barbershop; within a few months they'd
added two more machines. Buffett used his profits to buy
forty acres of farmland, which he rented to farmers. He
was also known as a kid who could add large numbers in
his head, and he graduated from high school at sixteen.
Later, in graduate school at Columbia, he studied under
the famous investing authority Benjamin Graham and
received the only A+ that Graham ever awarded
Rev Chris oyakhilome used to hold success seminars in
school as a student. He held his first crusade at the age of
9. He started his fellowship Youth for Christ as an
undergraduate.
Mark Zuckerberg built chat networks as a kid
Aliko Dangote used to buy cartons of sweets [candy] to
sell in school
Tiger Woods stated practicing gulf at an abnormally early
age of two
Mozart composed music at age 5.. He gave public
performances as a pianist and violinist at age eight, going
on to produce hundreds of works, some of which are
widely regarded as ethereally great and treasures of
Western culture, all in the brief time before his death at
age thirty five .
Colonel Sanders started selling recipe for fried chicken at
age 66. He went on to build KFC (Kentucky fried chicken)
after he has been rejected 1009 times.
Friends, the only guarantee to succeess is too take action.
Stop thinking tooo much.
Yeah stop overthinking....if there's something you wanna
do, go out and do it
Go out and get it done. Tom biliyeu said one step in the
wrong direction is better than just sitting and doing
nothing.
Stop overplanning. Face your fears. Do that thing you fear
themost. The difference between successful people and
failures is that successful people have the courage to face
their fears. They do what they fear until the fear
diminishes. Sometimes our fear limits us. If you don't face
your fears now and go after that which you want you might
end up being a mediocre. You might end up living the life
you don't wanna life.
Go out and give it a try.
You are not to young or old to write a book
You're not too young or old to start your business
You're not too young or old to inspire people
You're not too young or old to Sing a song... Stop limiting
yourself.
Will people criticize and deprecate you?..... YES
but it doesn't matter what they say.... All that matters is
what you want.
Stop that negative self talk of I CANT.... Personally I had a
terrible fear for public speaking.... I was a very shy person.
Until one day I decided to make a change. I decided to take
the necessary actions and today the fear is gone.
The fear would have still been there had it been I did not
take action.
See eh! Weather you believe you can or you can't, you're
correct. When you believe you can do it, then you will do it.
The power is in the believing. The power Is in your mind.
God has made you special.... He expects you to be bold
and courageous. He expects to be original not an ersatz.
He beliefs in you. He sees you as a succes.
It's not about the talents, intelligence or so... It's about the
belief system. When you believe in your self. I tell you...
You will look for a way... You will work hard. and guess
what HARDWORK BEATS TALENT IF TALENTS FAILS TO
WORK HARD.

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!

MONEY DOES NOT MAKE YOU RICH

A high paying job does not make you rich

Money does not make you rich

Financial intelligence makes you rich. It is not about what


you EARN, it's about what you DO with what you EARN.
Let me explain.

..if Mr A earns 50k monthly, and he discipline himself to


save 10k monthly, by the end of 2 years he will have
garnered 240k. That's enough to invest or start a small
side hustle.

Mr B earns 300k monthly, but he doesn't save, instead he


clubs every weekend, buy the latest shoes, phones and
clothes. In two years time, he will still be worth nothing
because he has no savings.

So WHO'S RICHER?

Mr A or B

Remember! It is not what you earn that matters, it is what


you do with what you earn.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Let's not make the mistake our parents made....

Some of them are in their late 50's or 60's & they're still
working..

Some of them are depending on their small retirement


benefits to survive

For some, we (their children) are their only hope

.....The bible says a good man leaves an inheritance for his


Childrens children. But this isn't so with most of our
parents. A lot of them have struggled to educate us, so
they're hoping on us to bail them out.

So the question is ARE WE WELL EQUIPPED TO BAIL


THEM?
...DO WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE GOOD PARENTS
( to leave inheritance for our children)

I want you to rethink, ask yourself IF I CONTINUE LIVING


THE LIFE I'M LIVING NOW, what will be off my in 20 years
time?

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

Dear Corper, don't wait till after NYSC, start NOW

One of my goals is to retire early. I want to travel the world


with my lovely wife & kids..

I want to live life at my own terms, I want to buy the house


I want, I want to buy luxury...

You, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

KILL SHAME
I have never seen a SHY millionaire.

I have seen a lot of broke shy people.

Shame and money doesn't go hand in hand. They are not


compatible.
Some of you have refused to build a business because you
are ashamed to promote it

Let me just clear you now..... You better forget shame,


forget about what other people think and take the bull by
the horn

To make money, you must have a LION heart. That's why


MILLIONAIRE, BILLIONAIRE and TRILLONIRE all have LION
in them.

Be shameless, SHOUT about your business, TALK about it,


Make noise about it, Toot your horn.

Anybody wey won talk make e talk. Las las na your bank
account matter.

You might NEVER become a


millionaire

The reason is this 👇


You have refused to act on small ideas

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

God has given you ideas to do something free for others,


but you neglect it because you are too money oriented

God has given you ideas to solves certain problems for


small pay, but you have neglected.

The Bible says, He that is faithful in that which is least is


faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is
unjust also in much
In other words, If you act on small ideas, you open way for
big and better ideas.

According to Myles Munroe, God major reason for creating


man is to MANAGE his resources.
Management was his motivation.
So God dislike mismanagement.
...and if you don't act on an idea because its small, you're
Mismanaging Gods resources.
Before Microsoft, there was Traff O data. Traff O data was
bill gates first company.
So, The idea of microsoft came because he acted on the
idea of traff O data.
Before Facebook, Mark zuckerbeg built chat networks.

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.

All this motivational speakers sef

Motivational speakers are one of the most insulted people


in Nigeria. This is because Nigerians see them as people
that lie or exaggerate a lot.
A friend of mine once told me that he doesn't use to listen
to motivational speakers because they make him feel
underachieved and inferior.

I'm sure this is also the reason why most Nigerians


especially youths don't listen to them.

But the truth is that they (the youths) are getting it wrong.

They don't have proper understanding as per why


motivational speakers (especially the rich ones) talk about
their wealth and affluence.
Motivational speakers are not there to make you feel
inferior, they're called to MOTIVATE you just as their name
implies

The reason you think they're demeaning you is because of


your belief system. You have been bred in an environment
that made you belief that everyone who talks about his/her
wealth is bragging

You have grown up in an environment that has made you


see outspoken people as proud people.

IT'S YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM THAT'S PLAYING ON YOU

No genuine motivational speaker wants his/her audience


to feel inferior, They want to inspire you, that's why they try
their best possible to make you see possibilities by telling
you their own story

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.

They tell you about their achievements to inspire you

Some even tell you about their FAILURES because they


want to boost your faith
This is what you should do
Next time when listening to a motivational speaker, listen
with the MINDSET to learn and improve.

Listen with the mindset to be inspired.

My elegant reader, Motivational speakers are for you, not


against you. UNDERSTAND THAT!
