1. Drivers License – whether you need a car or not?
2. Personal Cheque Book – what if you operate savings only and these days of electronic banking my cheque book is just a waste of money.
3. A Billionaire Friend – how many ‘clean’ billionaires do we have in my country – Nigeria?
4. Personal Savings – How much is acceptable as savings? My last child has hundreds of thousands already in his account.
5. Wife – happy with her or just because society demands that?
6. International Passport – what if I have no need of travelling outside my dear country? I mean I can spend my vacations in Obudu and co and do online courses or have the trainers come over.
7. Car – what if my office is in my house, my coy provides transport and I really don’t want to drive in ‘crazy’ Lagos? Car is needful here though.
8. Land – do what with it? In my village? In Lagos? Where?
9. HNI Club Membership – what is your definition of a high net worth individual? I have them in my church, no need of a club.
10. Registered Company – if I am in business yes. What if I am an employee?

Score yourself from 1 to 10; and U'll see reasons with me while a lot of people never show-up at Re-union get-together.

RATINGs:
0-30%: Poor
40-50%: Good
60-80%: Very Good
90-100%: Excellent


One of our core philosophy @KINETIC is to always be at the cutting-edge of information & knowledge, in our quest to deliver exceptional consulting services to our numerous clients and these shows in our commitment to research & CPD.

Recently, our team of consultants worked tirelessly to refine items on the list of things a Man MUST have before 40years to the most simple, yet impactful 10.
(The women folks in the house are not left out, just reverse item #5).

You may not agree with every item on the list, but please do not miss out on the whole essence and objective of this gesture. Which is for:

- Personal EVALUATION of ourselves.
- Increase our AWARENESS level
- Help us make necessary PREPARATION
- and OPPORTUNITY readiness

Was he Lucky or was he Prepared?

I will prepare and keep moving, cos' my opportunity is around d corner!

I had all those and more way back in time. I have always been ready to meet opportunity and exploit it. However, a nice thread forthose who are yet to put their acts together.

Let's not fool ourselves here.

Most people don't have all this @40. Fact.

If you are one of those, you're not a failure.
Not in my books you're not.. .work hard and don't steal.

If you have'em all, congrats, serve God with your resources and raise godly children, cause they're the ones you'll leave behind.

Thanks for reading.

spawnx: It all amounts to nothing if you aint got CHRIST!!!

Cheap SHOT. Christ is key, but try getting only Christ and losing out on all the other things. It comes home clearer everyday the saying that religion is the opium of the masses. You are being reminded of steps to take to make life easier for you and your own, and rather than evaluate yourself based on those, you are introducing the 'Christ' twist to it. You guys will never stop amazing me. Later now when you start wallowing in Penury, you will say it is GEJ or OBJ or whoever is in power then that is the cause of your abject poverty.

These are mediocre list for a 40 year old. However I will answer ur question.



1. Drivers License ----at 18 you should be able to obtain one.I have both Nigerian and foreign licences.
2. Personal Cheque Book----don't have but have accounts in 3 different countries including Nigeria (internet Banking)
3. A Billionaire Friend----...My banks are my friends.. wink
4. Personal Savings--------few naira euros and dollars..
5. Wife--------.- chose not to have one now.
6. International Passport----yes, with access to most countries that matters to me.
7. Car----------yes and a bicycle.
8. Land------------yes, it depends on location.
9. HNI Club Membership------No...I don't consider that important for now.
10. Registered Company------check my handle...

I am far from 40 years...and I do not consider these things to make me more successful but I am just starting out.
