Postive mindset Positive Mindset Positive Mindset

How do you always have a positive mindset about something that is rigged to have you at the loosing end eternally?

I asked 2 questions and nobody answered me.

1) Can any driver show me a savings of 1 million made from ehailing? Emphasis on "Saved" please. I didnt say "Made and Spent". (I can't be too sure though because I can only work with the data I have after interviewing series of drivers physically)

2) Can you build a house in Idimu or Ayobo through ehailing?

Someone will soon come to remind me that civil servants too make money and spend and my answer is still; "What concerns me and a civil servant or any other work for that matter? Are your destinies same?"

If after driving for 2 years consistently and you can't have a solid savings of 1 million... What does that tell you about ehailing? Does it look like something with a future?

By the way, I can't see where I said driving is outrightly bad. I only said to find a way and get out of this thing before it harms you. Especially for those who are already seeing this thing as a life thing. I also emphasised on the fact that the people you are actually working for are Uber/Bolt, Mechanics and Fuel stations.

You know Nigerians have been so battered to the extent that they now compare sufferings. You tell a Nigerian that as a child you suffered so much that you had to trek 15 kilometres to school everyday. He will say bros you no suffer reach me. That he trekked 17 kilometres to school everyday. Technically he may be correct. But theoretically, is suffering something to be proud of and compared? If my poo poo smells better than your poo poo, does it make poo poo palatable and servable as dinner?

As you drive people everyday to hotels like Radisson Blu and Ibis, don't you ever wish that those hotels are yours? As you drive people out of Parkview Ikoyi, VGC, Banana Island, Victoria crest 1 to 4 etc to work, don't you wish you own those estates or at least live in them? Does it sound like something achievable driving with Uber/Bolt?

Please don't be depressed yet. Am still a driver for now like you.

What is My Point then?

If there can be better, why settle for good?

Medicine after death....oga you goofed with your earlier post......just forgerrit and move on. You are saying it as if the pipo doing e-hailing are jumping into it as a get rich quick scheme, that's your main problem. Pipo are just doing it to survive....it is very very difficult to get a 70k paying job in today's economy....but without a cert, e-hailing can guarantee you that. So erase yur mindset from comparing drivers to oil workers, they are just doing it to survive....the country is hard enough so keep yur negativity to yourself.

And the worst part is they will still not pay the owner promptly, maybe after seeing wniiii in the hands of the drivers the owner puts it up for sale.
Few months old corolla for sale, buy and drive everything working fine. While the car is gone

dru23:


The guy does not want to face reality.. We can agree that working for somebody will not automatically get you rich. But you have to start somewhere. The angryman wants to walk before he can crawl ... An hungry man will always be an angry man.. So my advice is for the angryman to take time off. And clear his mind and restradegize on what direction he needs to take to achieve his goal . Coming to nairaland to complain about it will not help him at all ... for him to get better result ,he can't keep doing the samething over and over again ...

And in this life nobody is going to hold your hands to help you solve your problems. You have to figure it out on your own accord .. Even if somebody wants to help you out. They can only direct you to the straight road. But you have to put in the work ....

dru23:


The thing about the angryman that I see is that ,if you keep the samething over and over again. And you dont see any changes to better your situation.. Than do something else that will give u better result ....nobody is telling him he must die there and do Uber

Please who is available to pick me from ikosi ketu to the SCOAN ikotun by 5am tomorrow and how much on offline?

Dru23 is very exposed and has a mind that quickly adapts to change and the environment he finds himself. People like him never bemoan about misfortune, rather they keep it moving and don't give up.

Dru also has resources, both material and financial resources to keep his business afloat.

Dru is near resources. What this means is, he easily gets original parts, fluids, cheap cars and tools etc direct from the U.S, to run a successful fleet.

He has a different ideology to ehailing business which could be sum in one word "Maintenance".


Now with all these above, when Dru's business keeps flourishing and he intends adding more cars to his fleet, we would FORGET that he has a upper hand because he is fortunate enough to have his hands on the list aforementioned.

What is funny is most successful Nigerians in business NEVER share their business secrets but Dru23 comes on here to drop his success business secrets for free in disguise of MOTIVATIONAL talks and the meme, then I see people lambasting him for whatever reason, Yet, his principles and ideology still works for him.

I have NEVER seen anyone here who took Dru23 advise seriously and came back here to say it didn't work for them. I myself have adopted his idology and as a car owner, things has been smooth for me and my driver.

So Dru isn't only a wise guy to be taken seriously but also a blessing to this forum as well.

Kudos Dru23
Kudos to Gazzuzz too (This man is a great guy too)

Dru is that you with this moniker

Why is Uber on number 1?


They say it's they best job a man can get oo

dru23:


The fact of the matter is you can't be your own boss working for anybody. No matter how big or small the company is,this is reality I don't see any reason why anyone should be piss off for. To be your own boss you need to pay the cost. You need to start somewhere ,even criminals like Pablo Escobar started somewhere and grew to be something big. Yes he might be a bad example, but he started has a petty thief and move on to bigger things..

From my experience using Nigeria as an example. From the gateman, driver, maid, mechanic, sales girls etc all want to be bosses without putting in the work. but many don't have the discipline to do it.

I also mention that not every city in the USA that Uber is profitable for drivers. Some city are really bad ,but my city seems to be good . I have friends that do it and make money from it .. So it depends on how you approach it. A lot of college students do it and matches with their own schedule.. Also majority of people in the USA do Uber because of the flexibility it gives and they can have more time to focus on better things.. So in their own little way we can call them bosses. They dont have to punch in or out or work holidays. But if Uber can adjust their fares that will be more favorable to riders and drivers, I think that will be great. But if not , people wil continue driving. I was even told that you can make $2000 a week doing Uber. I was shock and didn't believe it . And I ask few of my friends doing it . And they said yes, but you have to put in that work ....

dckng16:
Oga dru calm down. That $2000 you heard isn't the real cash 0! you didn't factor in taxes and expenses. By time you do plus and minus the money can't be $500-$700 cash at hand.

dckng16:
yeah. But...
