Important Lessons from 2020

Here are a handful of lessons from 2020.

1: My degrees do not count for much. When it comes to the business of wealth accumulation, career, personal development or goal setting, it’s who we are, what you know and your experience that matters. My boss told me to leave a 4-year job in search of more experienced people. He would rather bring his friend as a senior Project Manager than promote me.

2: Turn your hobbies into equities. I started my business and has earned my $100k in as little as 5 months. I have been featured on Channels TV, TV Continental and BellaNaija while making many respectful connections too as a result.

3: The power of laughter. In my business, I have been able to retain clients through pure light comedic inputs in our interactions.

4: Anticipate – Plan for things well in advance and always assume they will fail. Trip to Nigeria, passport needs renewal in February. I had Nigeria in mind but failed to plan for it but instead ended getting the most expensive ticket.

5: Forget Short-cuts. Muna has cost me N6.5 million in trying to help me change my Naira to Dollars with favourable exchange rates. I realise the short cuts of trying to get a better exchange rate and turn it into more is not profitable. It has rather cost me more. The source of the funds are questionable while she has also added 5 months delay in refunding the money.

6: Materials don’t have much value, experience does. Unfortunately, Covid-19 did not allow me to travel as I promised myself I would. This could have been helped. I still maintain that life is a collection of experience than rather money momentum. I realised I could have created better experience for myself in the process.

7: Self-care is absolute. Prioritise my me-time. That time I spend on my thoughts, body, making decision at work, with friends are all key.

8: Money is important - Working towards being financially literate with the overall objective of financial freedom, it has made me a person of value. I have, through this process, been able to master the power of control.

9. Dedication of myself to charity has been satisfying. A certain portion of my earnings has been dedicated to helping some less fortunate. While it’s difficult, I will continue to do this.

10: I have mastered patience. Through my business, my work with children of all ages, I have been learnt immense patience. If you are looking to learn to be patient, I will advise you to work with your children, cousins or nieces, there’s a great deal you can learn from them.

11: Don’t be confined to your comfort zone. Push yourself to the edge of it. By so doing, you will not limit yourself nor your progress. If you however push yourself too hard, you will overburden yourself with anxiety and worry. Some of the adjustments I have made are: Cutting expenses until I arrive at the point that I am living more frugally to what I have defined for myself on paper.
Dedicating myself more to my business to the point of matching doubling last year’s earnings is a goal.

At the start of 2020, my goals included:
• While I was in Nigeria in 2020, Covid-19 restricted more travel and there was not much I could have done. (Score – 85%)
• Workout and build lean muscle mass. (Score – 20%)
• Develop stronger relationships with meaningful friends. (Score – 80%)
• My greatest success was being able to start my Investment Company and establishing a real presence among a community of thousands of people. (Score – 90%)
• I hope to involve some amount of life on the road this year dedicated towards entertainment. I regret the life I denied myself of in 2020, however, I hope to make this change and not let it repeat itself. (Score – 20%)
Overall, we all had the experience, I had the lesson.

Here are some of my Major 2021 plans, as of now (these are subject to change):

Business Goals:
• Finish recording my Investment Course by January end 2021.
• Get up to 1000 people trained by middle of the year.

The question was how much is chicken in your area?? In 2022 always resist the urge to shalaye.

Deluded president. We are more divided than ever. No national cohesion, most tribes see themselves as superior species over others. The annoying part is our self serving politicians keep hammering Nigeria's indivisibility because it suites their power seeking agenda.

She loves the nashural parfum. Hehehe

UK, US.

This man speak from both sides of the mouth

I'm afraid you have issues with comprehension.

I'm also guilty of making calls while charging my phone. What a sad way to go

RIP bro.

BMC: One thing I like about Buhari is that he doesn't steal, he is not corrupt.

Me: No be WINCH be that!

Issa simple stuff.

You can't loose what wasn't yours to collect in the first place.

Infact they should return all they have collected in the past.

The village strikes back. RIP bro. This world is a crazy and mysterious place.

How about the IDPs suffering from the actions of these blood suckers?

A sensible and reasonable government will focus on resettling and compensating the IDPs for not securing their lives and properties before considering the terrorists.

But then again ours is an imbecilic government.

Isn't God wonderful? They can't wait to lay their leprous hands on the 30% they allocated to themselves. I actually don't blame them. It's the greedy, corrupt and self centered representatives and senators from the south I blame.

Seriously Buhari is the real definition of an evil genius not the infamous IBB. How this man was able to project and sell a totally false image of himself to gullible Nigerians will be subject of research and in-depth studies in the coming future.

For those supporting and encouraging the president despite his glaring failure, nepotism and his ethno- religious agenda you are definitely not patriotic

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.

Why aren't we asking the tough questions? Why aren't we demanding that the president be impeached before he plunges this nation into a full scale ethno - religious war. Hasn't he failed woefully in all governmental key performance indices.

Someone tell me why Buhari hasn't been impeached.

Flick? Really?

The US military is the greatest coward on Earth. The Nigerian female falcons football team can defeat the American military in combat. American military supremacy is a myth brought to you by Rambo Hollywood movies

You're right. They're so cowardly that they came into Nigeria unannounced and rescued their citizens from kidnappers deep in an area Nigerian security forces wouldn't dare to go.

Hmm

People say things they don't mean when they're angry. It's normal. Tell her to be calming down.

Lastly are you known to always give out "quick 2k or 1k" to "less privileged" ladies?

Scam of a governor.

QueenVaji:
Nigerians are evil pple ..am really sorry to say this but is true...greed and wickedness is the reason why we wont grow as a nation..


99% of Nigerians has this selfish and corrupt mindset that makes them want to cheat at with any opportunity they get...no sympathy for their fellow human...if u like die as long as they good m .they are even happier when they see u suffering and they are not..



ordinary student in school will change to god when he/she becomes a class rep....just imagine..common phone not even car...tufiakwa i curse the day i was born into this witchcraft country...

Haba, you are indirectly cursing your parents. Not cool. Don't let Nigeria get to you. Do all you can to legitimately break free from the powers holding down Nigeria and give your own kids a better life, else they'll also curse the day you birthed them.

jayjaycee0:
This is absolutely correct. I don't know why things just naturally fall in place and everything seems to work when this guy is not around.

He can be our president in the diaspora and I pray he stays there till his tenure ends

Answer to your question is simple Buhari is a harbinger and purveyor of misery, retrogression, suffering and death. I believe somewhere during his habitual losses at past elections he made a pact with the devil to enable him win. He's currently paying back his master with the blood and suffering of innocent Nigerians. However, whatsoever a man soweth that he will reap, knowingly and unknowingly.

I don't have time for illiterate spare part traders. You can believe whatever your illiterate brain tells you but at the end of the day Biafra people like you will always suffer in Nigeria because you do nothing to support the economy.
Biafrans are all armed robbers.

Disclaimer
Fellow nairalanders this fellow (EKPEITIT) tried to clone my moniker and impersonate me. We neither share the same idealogy, values or views. He is totally responsible for the trash he pours here on nairaland. I am EKPEITUT not EKPEITIT.

So you have all these land mass, why then are your herdsmen killing, maiming and sacking people from their ancestral homes. Why are you guys hell bent on occupying southern territories.

This is Buhar/APC's scorecard. We've never had it this bad.

Finally a true leader speaks!
Aketi you just made my day!

Dialpad:
They can't be everywhere, they are top government officials who work with schedules. Like I always say, we are too emotional in this country.

What difference will their presence have made, what we should worry about is the aftermath, will the government kick their families out of the residence by next month or will there be provision for their wives and children.

May the lord comfort the families of the departed.

Too emotional in what sense? if these bunch of insensitive leaders cannot honour the man with their presence what makes you think they have plans for his family. It's just unfortunate to be a Nigerian.

Damn! This country's matter will give you depression. Like WTF! Nigeria is just theatre of absurdities. Just when you feel this is the height of it all, something crazier and ridiculously unimaginable happens again.

If you're in doubt wait for next week's craziness.

Are you guys planning a wedding or a funeral? Jeez!

What concerns Ministry of Agriculture with building of mosques?

Nigeria that supports pedophilia, banditry, poverty and almajirism.
