  • Research: Google is your friend!

    When we lend our words of advise to people as regards health or investment, they’d care less. Thinking there’s something in it for us.

    But they would gladly believe any type of lies in their so-called trusted sources – mass media!

    Then they’d quote them saying;

    • Government said this, they said that.
    • Warren Buffet said it is scam!
    • Bill Gates said it would crash tomorrow!
    • Elim Musk said blockchain is a get rich quick scheme!
    • Blockchain! Is that not all those referral things?
    • NAFDAC said bottled water is bad for my health.
    • And many more other funny ?.

    The sad ? here is, we have lots of Unqualified Graduates living amongst us. They are so fond of those beautiful paper qualification they’ve wasted four good years to acquire with nothing up there to account for those years.

    When you tell them to research, they’d still be like;

    Guy, tell me na. Hope say this thing no be scam?”

    There is not an ounce of excuse that can account for your ignorance.

    Failure to learn the proper way would be very painful when the knowledge would eventually matter most to you.

    Today, most of these people you believed are silently doing the otherwise of the propaganda they sold to you. They are benefitting their latest acquisition from the same opportunity they’d discouraged you from participating in as opposed to what you ignorantly thought would happen. They are using your mind. They knew how weak you are, and they massively exploited that.

    Just because, you decided to let someone else to think for you.

    Don’t be surprised in this world that changes very quickly!

    What is important is for you to educate yourself as much as possible. And don’t let anyone’s opinion drown out your common sense and reasoning.

    Research, research and gather more Intel.

    Peace,
    Residual!

  • Entitlement kills!

    Now I know why DJ Khaled always say ‘Bless Up’.

    Entitlement kills the inner man in you. It renders it useless and dependable on others for a living. It could even lead the subject into committing crimes against self and humanity.

    Don’t let your emotions becloud your decision when you are at the receiving end.

    Let this sink in well. You don’t deserve whatever help you are getting.

    It is just Grace in action that doesn’t give room for you to be Disgraced.

    Imagine if such privilege haven’t surfaced, where and how would you have been coping?

    Man, hear the truth, you ain’t worth the price tag you placed on yourself yet. When you reach that level, you wouldn’t have to fight for the respek!

    Yeah, I know I wrote respek instead of respect!

    Respect has been misunderstood for years, so Respek would help you to have a clearer view of what this post is aimed at achieving for you.

    The fact that your brother is wealthy, and living abroad doesn’t mean you deserve to turn yourself into a ghost worker ? collecting salary and stipends for being unproductive in his company.

    The good Book puts it’s right that;

    whatever thy hands findeth to do, do it with all thine heart.

    Here is the good path, if your ✋✋✋findeth begging to do, ownership and entitlement would be your best bet to achieving your objectives in life.

    That’s when you’d remember that your distance coursin who resides in the US actually ought to have sent you his last iPhone instead of listing it on eBay.

    Lack of personal Respek for yourself would drag you into that tight corner where ego and pride would take absolute charge of your mind.

    Who said you cannot work hard and excel to sponsor those people abroad from right from home?

    It is all in the mind. A weak mind is weak, no amount of press up or morning exercise can account for its inadequacies.

    The only remedy for maximum fulfilment in life is positive mind, set towards productive activities that would later yield massive financial and emotional stability.

    Tell yourself no lies, those things aren’t yours. But you can get them if you work smart or hard for it.

    And on a final note, one magical antidote to feeling entitled at all times is Gratitude Attitude. Be grateful for whatever you have and have pride in what you used your strength to gather.

    Let no man take pride in your achievements. That doesn’t mean people won’t help you up. But make it a point of duty to help yourself first before they’d notice you need more hands.

    If you practice gratitude attitude every day, nothing in this world would matter much to you than your own PEACE OF MIND!

  • Types of Success

    There are two types of success, one is useless!

    Sitting here by the pool contemplating a simple question…

    What separates those “who make it” from “those who don’t”.
    There are so many different perspectives on this, but to me it really boils down to this: You might be successful, but that success might actually be holding you back from what you really want.
    So maybe the better question is What really is success?
    Here’s what I mean…
    You might be amazing at your job, might even make decent money, and heck – you may even find a lot of satisfaction in it. I’d call that a success, wouldn’t you?
    But what if what you really want, your “big picture” goal, is to spend more time with your family? Or travel more?

    If that job you’re successful with doesn’t help you reach those goals, than are you really successful? In others peoples eye’s you might be, but in your heart you know you’re actually failing. You know you aren’t actually working towards what you really desire.
    Now I’m not saying to quit your day job, it’s smart to be practical – but you should always be working on a strategy to reach your goals. It can be dangerous to get caught up in what other people consider success, letting it distract us from what we really want. This is how many people get to retirement age and look back with regret.
    How can you build a strategy to reach your goals? As usual we have to start with the end in mind, and work backwards… Do this: Write down your end goal, and write as many (specific) steps you’ll need to take to get there…

    Example:

    End goal: “I wan’t more time with my family, and still make a good living.” <– “start my own business” <– “Verify the Income potential, that also doesn’t require me specific # of hours.” <– “type of business that I can run from anywhere.”<– “acquire skills to run a business” <– “free up time to learn” <– “find a type of business I could see myself running” <– “research types of businesses” <– “find ways others are making that income” <– “Establish how much income I want to make” <– “decide to make a change”
    This type of process is a powerful way to create any strategy, giving yourself a road map to reach a goal. I’m sure you have many goals, and I can’t help you with all of them. However if I had to pick one area I’m confident I can help you, it’s in business. Specifically building them from scratch.
    This week I’m actually holding a special workshop that I know will help you get clarity on this.

    Tap here to unlock access today! (no cost while link is active)
    This really is for anyone who’s had that anxious feeling of “I know I’m not really living MY version of success”.
    What if you’re already running a six or seven figure business? My guess is you might still fall into that category, and perhaps you haven’t quite gotten the automation side of your business down; freeing up time to do more of the things you want! Isn’t that why you started the business to begin with?
    In this free training you’re going to learn…
    1. The tools online businesses are using today to launch quickly (without being overly complex).
    2. How those tools can be harnessed by anyone with a laptop (this is super important, especially if you don’t want a boss).
    3. Why building a system yourself is the “old way”, and why leveraging other’s is a much better way (this method is a game changer, saves you so much time).
    4. A literal step by step walk through of an 8 figure business that our host built from scratch (one of the best ways to learn is look at how other people are accomplishing it).

    Click here to get all the details on how to attend.
    This is a great time to take a closer look at your “big picture” goals, and make sure you’re working towards them, and this workshop is a powerful step in that direction!
    See you there,
    Tai

  • THIS VULTURE WILL WAIT

    March 26, 1993.

    A picture shook the whole world.

    Famine in the land.

    A dying boy held to the last shred of life, moving what was left of his bones to the UN feeding centre.

    He was too weak.

    He collapsed.

    But that is not the tragedy.

    Just a few feet away, a vulture waited calmly.

    This vulture had seen this play out often. It knew that it couldn’t kill the stuggling child. Hell, it couldn’t kill anything if its life depended on it.

    But it could wait.

    Wait for the child to give up. Wait for breath to slowly slip out of the boy’s lungs. Wait for the calm certainty of death.

    Wait for you.

    Because this is not about the child. This is all about you. While you live your life now, struggling to hit your life goals.

    The vulture waits, ever so patiently.

    For you to slip. A misstep. This vulture knows it can’t kill you. But it can get out of your way and let you self destruct.

    This vulture will wait.

    This vulture is SCANDAL.

    It has brought down great men before you. If you are wise, you’ll know you are not that special. You’ll also know, this vulture is older than you are.

    I speak to those who are sure of their destiny, but will pause once in a while to enjoy the low hanging fruits.

    “No one is watching now. This is the time to lower guards. At the right time, I’ll get serious.”

    You are wrong.

    This vulture knows.

    It knows everything. It won’t attack you. It will wait. Wait for you to get to the top. Wait for you to step into the spotlight. Wait for the wolves to notice you.

    The perfect prey.

    The fatter the elephant, the greater the carcass.

    This vulture knows, and will wait.

    The friends who urge you on are also those that will scream your name on top of the roof.

    The laps you rest your head on are attached to the hands that will cut your hair.

    Toughen up while you can. Make sacrifices. Sharpen your axe now. The war is still on. You can celebrate later.

    If you look around and can’t count what you are sacrificing for the future you desire, look again. You are the sacrifice.

    Remember.

    This vulture will wait.

    Solution?

    Wait longer.

  • This Is How You Will Win: Starve Your Distraction, Feed Your Muscle!

    This Is How You Will Win: Starve Your Distraction, Feed Your Muscle!

    I have seen thousands…

    Literally thousands of posts have been written about hard work, and whether it is still relevant in a smart world. I even wrote about “what works” at the dawn of the year.

    But something keeps baffling me.

    People are literally being advised to relax and take things easy. In the words of my Yoruba people, “S’ogun l’aye ni?” (Is the world a warzone?)

    These days, when I see this, there is something I do. I will be recommending it to you now.

    DON’T ARGUE. SMILE FOR THE GRAM. AND GET BACK TO WORK. THAT’S HOW YOU WILL WIN!

    Smile for The Gram, Get Back To Work - Starve Your Distractions, Feed Your Muscles - That is How You Will Win!
    Smile for The Gram, Get Back To Work – Starve Your Distractions, Feed Your Muscles with activities that would bring more accolades. But never get carried away with the GRAM! That is How You Will Win!

    This Is How You Will Win: Starve Your Distraction, Feed Your Muscle!

    People will tell you to chill with them. You didn’t kill Jesus. Why should you keep working so hard? They will tell you about how you only live once, and how you should learn to “relax and have some fun.”

    DON’T ARGUE. SMILE FOR THE GRAM. AND GET BACK TO WORK. THAT’S HOW YOU WILL WIN!

    Understand that not everyone sees what you see. In reality, it is incredibly stressful to even explain. People will think you are crazy. They will be more confused at the end of the explanation.

    They will laugh and recommend “slows” for you.

    DON’T ARGUE. SMILE FOR THE GRAM. AND GET BACK TO WORK. THAT’S HOW YOU WILL WIN!

    You are not here to tell people they are wrong. You are not given this chance at life to tell everyone you are right. You are put in the world of needs, so that you can identify a few and fill them. Where is the time to argue?

    When people tell you about how hard work is a thing of the past, and how smart work has taken over. How you can work for four hours in a week, and smile to the bank 30 days a month.

    DON’T ARGUE. SMILE FOR THE GRAM. AND GET BACK TO WORK. THAT’S HOW YOU WILL WIN!

    You see, time is the judge of all these. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Instead of trying to prove a point, let your work speak for itself. And this is how you will win. When you understand the value of real work and stick to it.

    A time will come when you won’t even have to say, “I told you so.” They will say it themselves. Some will say you have changed. You are now arrogant. Others will say you have arrived. You can easily retire at 35.

    Even then…

    Even then…

    DON’T ARGUE. SMILE FOR THE GRAM. AND GET BACK TO WORK. THAT’S HOW YOU WILL WIN!

    And finally, share for the gram…and let someone somewhere know about and enjoy the gram!

  • Late Comers or Early Adopters

    Someone asked me why I’ve been silent lately about Dascoin. I replied by saying I have stopped wasting time on “late comers” while spending more time with “early adopters” because they are the real deal. The same answer applies to all my other business ventures.

    They cost me less stress while the later glory would ask questions that would even frustrate the devil in hell. And yet, they aren’t gonna do nothing but waste your time and doubt every truths you share.

    I began to focus more on the early adopters unlike their counterpart, late comers or late boomers or onlookers or later glory, who would not let you have the peace of mind. They are container frenzy, but hate to wait for the glory of the container to sprang forth before they begin to make decisions.

    They wait! But we act! They rush; we are relaxed because we know that time is of essence in business.

    They want the paparazziz and we don’t have that; we are real deal! We crave financial freedom, they crave instant success with no effort which hasn’t been achieved by anyone on the planet since the dawn of man.

    Lies have expiry date, but truth will last longer.

    The next couple of months will determine the difference between those hit and run business packages out there and the real business that can deliver to you the kind of lifestyle you dreamt of.

    The choice is yours to either go for the container which is always the fake and paparazziz’ed schemes or take time to read about and invest wisely in the future where you work less and earn more.

    The choice was mine to make few months ago, and it is yours today.

    Choose wisely.
