Catherine Cook in My Yearbook says “To any entrepreneur: if you want to do it, do it now. If you don’t, you’re going to regret it.”

You sit all day in front of a computer or using your mobile phone and rant through social media making money with every click. No, not for yourself, but for Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook, whatsapp, instagram, and the rest). Why don’t you think the opposite and make the money for yourself with that phone or computer you are using.
With every megabyte of data you spend complaining and badmouthing, you make stunning bucks for your ISP (Internet service providers) E.g Etisalat, MTN and Airtel.
Over the next two years, the number of Nigerian millionaires will jump by 47%. Please do me the favor of being in the list. But don’t expect this to happen while you are too busy whining and complaining. And yet about 60% of Nigeria’s 182 million population are below 35 years. Oh, what a waste! By the way, Mark Zuckerberg was 19 when he started Facebook.
Guy’s don’t just dream, do!
Let’s take a glimpse at some of the successful internet entrepreneurs
Ø Ashish Thakkar, who is 31, is Africa's youngest billionaire. After escaping from the Rwandan genocide, he later then relocated to Uganda where he started an IT business.
Ø Collin Thornton, who made his millions by fixing bad computers and setting up Dial-a-Nerd, is 35.
Ø Adam Horowitz, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, started 30 websites in 3 years before he became successful.
Ø Have you heard of Jason Njoku? He’s 33 and the founder of Iroko TV. He received $8m investment into his company just a few years ago. What he does? Sharing the same Nollywood films that you spend hours to watch online. He didn’t just hang around waiting for the president to make something happen or blaming the previous administration for not making anything to happen.
Ø Kamal Budhabhatti was deported from Kenya but while on the flight, he thought of the opportunities in Kenya. He found his way back after 6 months and today his company is valued at $30m. He’s just 36.
Ø Apple just paid $1b for Chinedu Echeruo’s app. He’s a fellow Nigerian like you and all he did was attempt to fix a problem. Chinedu moved to New York in 1995 and found it difficult to navigate the city with ease so he developed HopStop to fix the problem.
Ø Linda Ikeji. You’ve spent hundreds of hours on her blog laughing and commenting while she smiles her way to the bank. She’s just built a house for her father in the village- just by you clicking on her gossip and sharing. She was as broke as you are but she turned a hobby into a business.
We all know our problems, but what are you doing about them?
Let me guess that dream of yours. Financial freedom, right?
But how are we going to achieve that. That’s the question.
Do you think those politicians have any regard for you? Nah, you know for sure that you are deceiving yourself if you think so.
Never be as good as an election ticket - pure and simple. Which is only good to be used and discarded like a used ballot paper. Who keeps a used ballot paper anyway? That is why they only remember you every four years.
The internet is filled with opportunities. Everywhere you look, you see it. You just have to trust your intuition to follow where it leads.
Some of the advantages of being an internet entrepreneur is the flexibility, time, freedom, and your business is always online 24/7. Whenever you set things in motion, kaboom! cash flows directly into your account without even lifting a finger on your mobile phone or computer, thanks to social media.
From today your world is changing for the better. Open your awareness to your shifting reality.
