“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.” – Jeff Bezos (Founder of Amazon)

Are you ready to try today?

What's the one thing you can do today that can move you toward your goal?

(Don't think challenges. Think action. Think steps you can take within a few minutes to move you forward and toward your goals.)

And yet, a certain thespian says things are not as bad. It's well 🙏.

It's very easy for governments to blame immigrants for this but the facts are politicians and decisionmakers have consistently made bad decisions that has brought their country to this point. You can't ignore significant concerns of your people over the years and continue to expect silence. Something must give one day. The day has come for France.

It's a sad reckoning for France and unfortunately, it will embolden right-wing anti-immigrants narrative. (We must also not ignore how certain nefarious players have been whipping up these sentiments online and on cable based on lies and misinformation over the years.)

Hopefully, they arrest enough of these destructive protesters and deal with them harshly to set a notice for others that might want to follow their steps to have a serious rethink.

He can but I don't think it will be legal for him to send US citizens to an El Salvadorean prison.

Though it's known he does not care about the law, but that would be a serious stretch. Even for him.

You now have everything you need to go from "I have a skill" to "I have a product" to "I have buyers":

✓ A skill that people pay for
✓ A product built from that skill
✓ A price that reflects its value
✓ A marketing plan that costs nothing

Phase 3 of this series — coming in the next post — is about something most people in this position never think about until too late: how to protect your income, manage your money as a self-employed person, and start thinking about replacing your main income with what you have built.

That one is a serious post. But we will keep it human. I'm still not sure how to navigate that, but while I'm thinking about it.

Meanwhile, drop in the comments: what is the one channel from this list you are going to use first? And if you have already started using any of them — tell us what happened.

Follow the thread. Let's build.

Before we re-write history in broad daylight, let's remember that Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and invaded Ukraine in 2022. Not Ukraine. Not Zelensky (who just came into power in 2019). It was all Russia under Putin.

Typically, the US is supposed to support Ukraine because they were part of the security guarantee arrangement from 1994.

So whatever Ukraine is doing today to protect itself is their right.

If not, what's the point of being a sovereign country?

That's the problem with these protests. They are making life harder for themselves by destroying public properties and private businesses.

michlins:
After much bragging, the man is now at a very confused state. Tell me,why else will he sign a bill that puts maximum sanctions on Russia couple of months ago and now he's going back again to lift sanctions on Russia.

The funny thing is that the whole diesel expected from Russia is about 1% of the daily consumption for the world so it wouldn't make any difference. He keeps mentioning millions of gallons but simple maths will show you how insignificant that amount of diesel is in the global space.

That Middle East country that sent him on this wild goose chase is now plotting on how to work with Democrats led legislature after November elections.

His core base feel betrayed. First it was Epstein files which he fought hard to keep guarded,next his inability to fully investigate the death of Charlie Kirk and then he started a brand new war with no end in sight. On top of that, energy prices are at all time high and people are tired of him blaming Joe Biden.

He's trying to discredit the election before he loses it again. The first time he discredited the election was when he was in power. Biden however supervised the election which brought him back to power. Talk about his incompetence on a whole different level.

Spot on with most of the points but I doubt his core base feels betrayed. Those that feel betrayed are those that lapped up the lies of the 2020 election loss and voted for him massively in 2024. His core base will definitely follow him over a cliff, defend him at every turn and ignore all his excesses and missteps. He knows as much and he's even attested to it recently, and that's why he carries on the way he does.

Zelensky didn't start the war, but he's definitely defending his country, as much as he could.

But it's easy to blame Zelensky than blame Putin and himself. Clowns.

There is the principle of success and it has no respect for religion.

Nigeria is almost split in half across religious lines, but hey, blame the Christians and Pastors for the problem of the country.

Very ridiculous!

Macroeconomics is going good. But that's not what people will eat. That's usually good for those who are very liquid, and to increase the borrowing capacity.

Jesus Christ would have forgiven Judas if He repented.

True. If only he had repented, wonder how his story would have turned out.

Good job. Now prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law and keep it public. Let others know there are severe repercussions.

You can defend your guy without trying to insult the intelligence of the whole country.

Not that I support but this is why Gen Zs have no regard for the elders. When they spew insensitive stuff like this.

Hopefully Putin listens...

Emmamay10:
Putin is headstrong. He is ashame to bow out from his failed mission in Ukraine.

This is more reasons why President Trump is sensible. He knows when to retreat.

Has he retreated from Iran after months of on-and-off bombing?

Took them long enough.

Davido said, “I defeated 17 governors with all their power, with all their immunity, escort commanders, DSS, with all their billions. I defeated them with just a phone.

Well, someone should remind him that pride goes before a fall. He should calm down. There are better ways to say certain things.

Too many factors at play. So deal with each gradually: get your own hair grooming equipment, change salon if necessary. But salon doesn't really have anything to do with hair loss. But the hygiene is important.

And for genetics, thou canst do anything against that.

Vifx:
She was press secretary for literally 15 minutes.
The signs were already there that she wasn't cut for such a high profile intense pressure job.... In her first an last press briefing she was so nervous, head down avoid eye contact and only taking about 4 questions be abruptly ending the press briefing.
What is it with this administration always insisting on appointing incompetent individuals

The administration itself is incompetent, so they can't attract otherwise.

Her five-day-long tenure ultimately came in shorter than that of Anthony Scaramucci, whose 11-day tenure as White House communications director in 2017 is now used as a measuring stick for the relative longevity of embattled White House officials.

Quite expected with that atrocious performance.

Trump said Zacharia had been mistreated by the media and praised her as a loyal supporter.

As always deflection and blaming others when you can't attract competent people.

That policy inconsistency has been an issue in recent times. He could do better. He's younger than the other key 2 running.

And the time is closing up to make amends.

This man just talks too much

These are the issues. How do we live amicably with this kind of system?

How does the penal code of Borno state override or supercede the constitution of Nigeria?

She shared her faith freely without compulsion and the witness testified there was no coercion involved, and yet, she's sentenced to 14 years. A whole 14 years. Come on! Let's be reasonable!

And the worst part: we won't see any of Muslim organisation or prominent religious leader condemn this extreme.

We have to do better if we want a truly unified country.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has defended the President’s economic record, citing the support of 33 governors and claiming that food prices have dropped and foreign investors are returning to Nigeria.

1. Support of the governors can be for wrong intentions. Don't hoodwink us mister. At the very least, they are now getting more money, what are they doing with it? Where is the accountability?

2. Food prices have dropped, as compared to when - a year ago or 4 years ago.

3. Foreign investors have returned to Nigeria. That should be a good thing but they are not setting up new enterprises. They are mostly trying to take advantage of the bullish stock market.

The public health system failed a young man and put his family in unexpected mourning while the leaders continue to gallivant around the globe for top-notch health services.

Oyo state can do better. Nigeria can do better.

Not necessary. The only place where it matters is the polls. Come out en masse across the country and vote massively. That's what stems their corruption.

In other words, check and don't let the finesse of the car carry you go where you no know.

Well, the post seems to be saying what everyone else already know. Political lackeys sha...

How is that attacking the President?

ACTION POINT FOR TODAY — THE LAUNCH DAY PLAN:

Set aside 30 minutes today and do the following three things:

One — Write your product announcement message. One paragraph. What the product is, who it is for, what problem it solves, the price, and the link. Save it somewhere you can easily copy and paste it.

Two — Make a list of twenty people in your WhatsApp contacts who would genuinely benefit from or be interested in your product. Not everyone — the right twenty. Write their names down.

Three — Find two Facebook groups or Nairaland sections where your ideal buyer spends time. Write down the names of those groups.

You now have: your announcement, your first audience, and your first two channels.

When your product is ready — whether that is today, tomorrow, or this weekend — you already know exactly what you will say, who you will say it to, and where you will say it.

That is a launch plan. And it cost you thirty minutes.

What steps have you taken so far? Drop it below. Let's discuss.

Remember, only action-takers see results.

Follow the thread. Let's build.

There is a huge difference between politics and governance. This one chose the former, most likely because he wants to return for second term. Edo people, hopefully you'll show him you're better than this in the next 2 years.
