Who go dey feed am?

Na government go de feed am.

They have something called "the Nordic model", basically it's a social welfare system that covers every legal residents from "cradle to grave". Its a combination of free health care, free education, and a right to an amount for your livelihood (usually pegged at the minimum wage).

I mean think about it. It cold almost all year round, and during winter, the winter will kill you if you're not sheltered. It's not like naija where you can crash under bridge, where the weather is warm. Their weather and geography is so unforgiven that they have to adopt a strong defense against it, and the nordic model was the outcome. So you can basically go to the welfare office, drag an officer out and give him a well-aimed uppercut for delaying your monthly payment, its your right, its allowed grin


When you've experienced things like frozen hands that your fingers becomes stiff, and would need to defrost, when you can feel the airflow going through your throat to your lungs because the throat is dehydrated, when you've experienced flu that both of your nostrils are blocked, and you'll have to breathe through your mouth all through the night, then you'll understand why they pay people to live there lol.

Seems like I got a partner here lol.

It was like this for me till I needed to get an accountability partner and a coach that will hold me to my words.

Most times doing it alone is hard.

You should attach with other people pursuing the same goal for motivation.

I just don't knw, but personal development seem to be a big task for me. I can't seem to lay my hands properly on anything.

For some years I have been trying to learn some digital skills, but I can't get hold of it. Funny thing is, I have the lappy, the data and the personal space... But for where I still can't make a head way. Even days when I prepare to face it. I end up watching YouTube.

Too bad.
Re: How Are You Developing Yourself In Life? by YungLasaint(m): 10:08pm On Jun 27, 2021
Your number one challenge is that you're multi talented and you don't really know which skill you need to monitize.

A quick advice here, write down your core skills like I'm an affiliate learning copywriting and a graphic designer. It was a trouble to make any reasonable amount with those skills.

After a conversation with my mentor he told me to focus on affiliate marketing which will.gibe me the ability to develop my copywriting and design skill.

Most time what you know now is enough for yourself development before you add a price tag for it...


Use your skill to develop your personal brand...

I 'v never been this confused. No laptop so I manage my wacky smartphone.
Sometimes I feel my problem is focus.
Will be a graduate in less than a year, I m so scared already. How do I build myself into a valuable person that would make people want to part with their money?. I have no idea.
Any ideas that could be of help to me please?.

No one forced them to buy the drugs. I know people who takes drugs but their lives are not ruined. Infact,they are doing alright. Did you know that cough medicine or paracetamol are class C drugs?

I don't have to be a drug dealer, I chose to be one, it's easy money.
I dont know about paracetamol being in that class but I get your point.
I may not necessarily agree with the choices that people make, I however must respect them.
And I hope we all find the happiness we pursue.

paracetamol is class C if you take an overdose of paracetamol like 10 capsules you will find out.

Did you know that you can grind 20 capsules of paracetamol into powder and sniff it like cocaine?

I hope we all find happiness

hmmmm... Was in your shoes one time.

I'll advice you pick a niche in digital marketing e.g SEO, Media buying, Content writing, Copywriting etc cos Digital Marketing is quite broad. After you've decided on which to learn, you can watch YouTube to see the practical steps.

Niche I'll advise you to go for are media buying, content writing and copywriting cos they are first timer friendly. But based the fact that you don't have a laptop, I'll advise you to try out content writing cos you can use your phone to write content, after you've learned and practiced enough, you can include it on your cv.

With that experience alone, you can shoot your way to the door of getting an internship position for probably an agency which will now be your starting point to the world of marketing.

Should in case you decide not to still toll in the marketing field, just rinse and repeat these steps for other fields.

Cheers my dear smiley

Hey,

This idea just came to me and I felt that sharing how we are developing ourselves, irrespective of the current economic situations could help those who are confused about the directions of their life to find light, realign their thoughts and get clarity.

I will start by saying I am more digitally skilled, which tilt towards the area of digital marketing space.

I am currently trying to learn graphics design using photoshops and maybe add video editing to it (I have basic knowledge of this).

Why are am I doing this? Well, for the sake of making money with the skill of course, not only in Nigerian Market but in international space because.

So how are you developing yourself in life? Please share and don't forget that you might help those who are lost find clarity on what to do in their life.


I go around preaching the good news of the gospel of Christ. I plan on intensifying. What more can I ask for. Doing business with Baba God Himself grin

Are you sure you'll like Iceland? It's colder than your freezer, and their winter darkness is darker than charcoal, no kidding. Also, you'll feel like an exotic animal, as its a very small country that borders no other country, a population less than 500k people surrounded by frozen sea, and very very white. The black population there are incredibly small to none.

And it's forking expensive, it's the country where I bought the most expensive pizza, imagine 10k for normal medium size pizza lol. And as per the language, forget it. Infact Chinese easy pass am. But one thing is guaranteed, an extremely high quality of life. You can choose to be jobless till you die and still live a good life. I hope you make it there.
this your last paragraph is funny. After you've said all these to discourage him.

Sometimes, we should refrain from unsolicited advice provided he won't get harmed. Let people see life by themselves and make a decision with that.

Beside this I don't the capital to start but lately I have discovered that digital skills are way forward for this century and I'm ready to take advantage of it.
Is it still possible for me to learn at this age and make money coz I'm downtrodden and always moody about the situation I find myself, I have really work hard in the past. I served someone for almost a decade without salary and nothing to boast of, except that I got admitted into university. Even the my school fees was paid by my mother who lives in another state. I have made effort and shown keen interest in acquiring these skills but my foster parent business has always stood on my ways. I still depends largely on my mother but

Don't be scared. You are on the right path already... Continue learning digital skills. You are even lucky that you have Google that put this together for you, when people like us started the digital marketing journey, there were no resources like Google Cert. We had to scout forums to acquire the knowledge, downloaded tons of ebooks...

I didn't make money for some years with the knowledge I acquired because I didn't know how to apply them but today, things are taking shape.

Now, I am trying to use the knowledge to help offline businesses. I also have an offline start-up that I started with a friend, more like a B2B of a sort.

How can I use digital marketing here? After dealing with the first clients, I will build something called FUNNEL. With this funnel, I will be able to be in my house and get clients in Portharcourt and Abuja, and as well as Lagos.... This wouldn't be possible If I NEVER had this knowledge.

I will advise that you focus on how to run ads using Facebook, google, and youtube. It is in HIGH DEMAND skill.. You can make a shit load of money helping US, UK, CANADA, Germany businesses generate customers for their businesses.

If you have any question, please ask. I am here.
Wow Funnel?. Was watching a video of Russel building funnels for different types of businesses. I ll watch that video again to understand it better.
Thanks a lot. Btw, do you know how I can get started with ads?.

Go and learn Barbing or hair dressing..

Start saving money the moment you start seeing money..

Buy yourself a laptop and whatever you need and start from there..

But if you don’t want to become independent, then doing runs is the other solution for your predicament..

This I have seen..
I m on IT placement now. I applied for jobs but most weren't willing to take me because I was still a student who could leave very soon. The ones that managed to take me either had very poor salary or the distance was something else
So I had to back down and start learning skills online. If not for a certain free data I used, I wouldn't have achieved much.
