There was this poor man who *wrote a book at the age of 40* and decided to launch it on his Birthday.
He had no money to fund the launching and so, *he decided to seek help from a millionaire* in his community.
He made a visit to the Millionaires home and after they exchanged pleasantries, he told his host what brought him.
The Millionaire told him to take out a piece of paper and pen. He said, " I will give you a test. If you pass it, I will give you the money you need and if you fail, I will still give you the money" He then told him to write down the names of 10 people who could give him 10k each for his book during the launch.
Surprisingly, the man could not write even 3 names. Now, take a glass of water and let me tell you something..
It is not enough to have talent and skills. You must understand the power of building valuable relationship.
It was a wise man that said, *your network is directly proportional to your net worth.* *_Relationship is a currency* ._
Relationship is a stream of income.
Everything in this life actually reproduces on the basis of relationship.
See eh, *Who likes you in this life matters* . _Men are lifted through men_ .
*Many of us are talented but we lack a cup bearer* to tell the King that there is a Joseph that can interpret dreams.
*Who you know matters a lot in this life.*
Don't say it doesn't matter. It does.
There are heights and opportunities you will never attain if you don't understand *the power of Keeping Valuable Relationships* .
When they say, *turn and greet your neighbour in church, at times, you don't even know who you are talking to* .
That might be the CEO of a company.
But sometimes, *we despise people based on their outward looks and judge them wrongly.*
Have this wisdom am sharing with you.
That person you sit with in class, or the colleagues at work that you look down on, may be the ones that will lead you to your destiny helper because you have no idea who they know.
Sometimes, it takes just a recommendation to change your story. *Don't despise men in Life.* You will need them one day.
Sometimes *those who crown Kings don't look like kings* and may never become kings but they can help you wear the crown.
Again Shut the door of relationship gently you may need to use it tommorow.
The Lord favour surround those who value healthy relationship.
You will succeed.

Amen and you too

Thank you for this. I am a writer as well. I have just written a book, but I have been wondering what I will do with it. the first book I publish was a disaster. I spent over three hundred thousand naira and I didn't make 10 thousand out of it. so I have been doubtful about this book I have just written. It is a good book and I know it will touch lives, but I don't have the fan base or the relationship to push it through. I don't know what to do.

God bless you sir.

The answer to your question is simple. What you need is God's leading and the rest will be settled. The fact that God gives you inspirations for a certain project now and that you are zealous doesn't mean that project should kickoff now.

i've heard stories of how authors launched their books after some months or years of writing them because they were waiting for God's leading. And when they did so, God's favour saw them all through the promotion and sales of the books.


The fact that what you have with you could make impact or touch lives is not all that is needed for you to put it out there. You as well need to wait for the right time to do so. Moreso, be sure that what you are doing is God's will for you. As in, make sure you are called to do what you do.

Success is in five stages: Purpose Discovery - Self preparation - God's timing - Divine Opportunities - Divine Manifestation (this is when God has approved of you showcasing to the world)

In conclusion. Waiting for God's time is planning with God. And when you plan your life or whatever it is that you want to do, with God, fanbase or other requirements shall be Divinely settled. With God's leading you can never go wrong. Speaking of God's leading, are you genuinely born again? I mean, do you know God? How is your relationship with Him like, at the moment?

Any further questions?

... But according to Moses...

Deuteronomy 10:17
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

Even Paul echoed this...

Romans 2:11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. For God does not show favoritism.

God does not favor anyone. He let the same sun shine on both the wicked and the righteous alike. His mercy is upon all mankind, not just those who fancy healthy relationships and the sort.

No, but I post threads on the religious section in Nairaland.

Yeah I know.

Yeah I know.

Or you can also post a story on the literature section and once it's close to the end you'll ask people to continue reading from okada books. With that you'll make money. For example you want to post a story that has 10 chapters, you post the 4 chapters on the literature section and ask people to read the remaining from okada books. Your book must not be too expensive you can start from #500 on okada books and once you're becoming known you can explain to your readers on nairaland why you're increasing the price from there you can sell the books for 1000 and above.


Good luck
