It's really shocking how mentally lazy employees become. I have since realized that I can not be wealthy working for someone, because they pay you just enough to keep you coming back for more, month after month! All my friends who are young millionaires have one thing in common ; they are all self employed! Think about the number of graduated being churned out every year. Where are they all going to work? It's time for a revolution, and I'm already a part of it!

'Thought Of The Day:
Don't listen to the masses on how to create wealth because 97% of people have no clue, I mean absolutely no freaking idea. At 17, after reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" & "Think Big & Kick Ass" I began to question many things being taught to me by family, teachers, friends parents, all of it. It clearly states to "Take advice from people that have proven results." It doesn't say "take advice from mom/dad/teachers/whoever just because they're your elders or they're adults. That's plain dumb & makes no sense. If you want to be a millionaire then listen to millionaires. You want to make $50K a year? Go listen to "Uncle Jimmy Billy Bob Johnson."
I've also learned age means just about nothing when it comes to financial intelligence. There are young people who are financially free & get it. There are also 50 year old men with families who have 0 clue. A good rule of thumb in life, not only business, is to ONLY listen to and take advice from people who are currently leading the life you desire. If I am EVER in front of or near anyone who has what I want.. I immediately ask them, "What is the secret to your success / give me one tip." When you ask this #1 you make them feel good & #2 you're about to learn. Did this exact thing a few nights ago with the #2 sports agent in professional sports, I've done this to John Paul Digorio (Paul Mitchell Systems networth $2,800,000,000), & just about everyone else I come in contact with who's "Got It."
You wouldn't take advice about fitness from an overweight person or relationship advice from Tiger or Kobe.. So why are you listening to BROKE, yes I said BROKE family members, friends, & teachers?
It's too funny when people get started in Network Marketing and their friends say "Oh you got started in one of those things, oh no." My response and thought is "What the hell is your plan and what the hell are you even talking about? What are you doing to get wealthy? Slaving 8 hours a day being told when to take your own family on vacation? As you are in the hole $70,000 from your (education aka 4 year scam most of the time) This is MY way out!"
Anyways this may seem aggressive or mean or whatever but it's the TRUTH. What society and most households teach their kids, us, is disgusting. You should do what you love to do, get good enough at it, and eventually it will pay you. If you fully don't enjoy what you're doing, then stop doing it. Life's too short to not do what you love.
MAIN TAKEAWAY:
Listen to people who have what you want. And to everyone else, nod your head, smile, agree, & let it go in one ear and out the other' - Alex Morton.

I just read an article written by a nairalander in the career section about the proliferation of motivational speakers in Nigeria, and how they promote self-employment or entrepreneurship with examples of successful billionaires. In his words ; "But that is where it ends"!

I'm compelled to reply this article because I happen to be one of these so called "motivational speakers"!. Before now, I was very comfortable with my job. I work in the coveted oil and gas industry, and earn enough money to live a very very good life. My bubble burst in June 2014 when I attended one of these seminars about entrepreneurship. As someone who had already worked for over 6 years, I realized that the points raised by the speaker were very true. How many of us can ever hope to become CEOs in our companies? Can you maintain your lifestyle if you're sacked or with a pension? Can you will your job to your children? In today's world where companies are trying to stay profitable, are you assured of job security? Just take a look at tabloids from 2013. You see articles like " Microsoft reduces workforce by 18,000". Schlumberger to release 11,000 after initial 9000 job cuts" e.t.c. The list is endless. Many of my friends have been fired! Do you even know that robots that can perform human functions are already in existence (check out Asimo on youtube)? Can you picture the year 2030? Employers would have the option of employing robots over humans. Would you be prepared for that? Ask the thousands of UK and US trained graduates how much they are paid in the Nigeria of today. Does the annual salary after tax even match the cost of tuition?

The fact is that the industrial age, characterized by getting an education just to become an employee, is dying! Please study global trends my friend.It's giving way to a new age, called the information age. That's why companies are firing in thousands without filling the vacant positions, because they became redundant because of technology and efficiency! When last did you see adverts for mass employment in the Tuesday or Thursday Guardian? The writing on the wall is clear! people need to start thinking outside the box. The world is changing at a very fast pace, and we are unfortunately behind. Google " top 40 millionaires who became millionaires before 20". You'd be shocked!!! Most of us were still asking our parents for money in our early twenties!

There have been over 30 million new millionaires in the last decade, and none of them is an employee. They earn residual income, whether asleep or awake. Employees only earn active income. So when you retire, or get fired, or get sick (and get fired), your income stops. This includes all forms of employment, government or private.

If you do not understand how to leverage on other people, the internet (social media e.t.c) and use your spare time (if already employed) to build a business that would earn you residual income, then you may not be prepared for the future. Forget all you were taught in school. You were only learning to work for someone else. Start getting self education today. It begins at some of these seminars!

I started a business in July 2014, and I have slowly built a steady income stream on the side of over 200,000 naira per month. I project that in 5 years time, I should earn nothing less than 3-5million per month. The business that I do is referred to as " The cash cow that most people reject". It's called Network Marketing. I don't want to go into a detailed explanation, but it would interest Mr neahyo to know that the ‎Managing Director Shell Nigeria E&P Company and VP Human Resources ( Tony Attah) is a Network Marketer ( so much for aspiring to become the CEO of Shell and invest!) . You want to know why? It's very simple. He's an employee and isn't beyond retrenchment at his level. You can google "Tony Attah Forever Living Products". What about Tele and Mina Ikuru (Past deputy gov of rivers state), Liyel and Obioma Imoke, mama Peace......even Nollywood stars like Ufuoma Ejenobor, Miss Pepeye of papa Ajasco, Zach Orji and larry Coldsweat (all network marketers earning in millions). They understand that it's risky in today's world to earn only an active income from your efforts only. I have many friends who have resigned from 600k + salary jobs to become full time entrepreneurs, while people keep bickering about! I know people who have waited for over 5 years in the labour market, and are looking for jobs that would pay less than my 'side cash'. Small Thinkers they are!

Read books written by billionaires, e.g Why we want you to be rich by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump, or The Business of the 21st Century by Robert Kiyosaki. They recommend entrepreneurship as the way out of the unemployment crisis, and Network Marketing as the best form of entrepreneurship for those of us who don't have the capital to start a Dangote group. Warren Buffet, Les Brown, Paul Zane Pilzer (world renowned economist/entrepreneur and HSBC president at the age of 24), Brian Tracy etc all recommend Self employment in general and Network marketing in particular.

If billionaires do and recommend entrepreneurship/network marketing, why wouldn't you just give it a try? it costs next to nothing to start, but you have to work really hard to rise to the top...and there's no upper limit. All you need is your social capital. If your friends can come to your house for a party, why wouldn't you share a business idea with them. Surely, one or two would buy the idea. the rest would laugh at you. But you get to laugh last (I don dey laugh already).

Choosing to stay as an employee for the rest of your life is an unsafe choice for you and your generations. It's for people who don't desire to ever control their time and are willing to get paid only 12 times a year.

Most of our parents have realized that they made a mistake by working for a lifetime only to get a pension that still requires many of them to depend on their kids who happen to be struggling to keep up in a fast changing world.

If you're young, it means you have some energy. Now is the time to take a risk. See you at the top!

please tell the poster the truth. His letter was very unnecessary. The grammatical errors in it are enough to ensure that he never gets interviewed by that company!

Nice post! You must be a network marketer like me. Most of the people posting on this forum probably don't know that network marketers are smart entrepreneurs. Small capital + hard work + focus and persistence takes you as far as you want to go. I'm building my network and plan to be free like you as well....I earned over 100k last month on the side, from just 20k in January......will earn 198k this month and it just keeps increasing every month.
I fail to understand why many people just wouldn't start a career in network marketing, when billionaires recommend it!

So few jobs for the millions of unemployed in Nigeria!

Things to note:

Traditional Business and the 8am to 5pm (JOB) mentality is almost dead ... what must you do now to be able to sustain and live the life you want in another few years?

Experts believe that half of today's jobs will be completely gone in another 10 to 11 years.. That's like year 2025. Its just around the corner my good friends.

Artificial intelligence is taking over.. We need to be smart and start acting! Don't wait till you are too old or disillusioned before you start thinking of an alternative.

You need to start something of your own! I encourage you to read the post below;

AFTER DIAGNOSIS, TRY MULTI MACA!

At a glance, you might mistake Forever Multi-Maca for a male-only supplement, but maca has been used by women for centuries with as many benefits as men. This herb is most popular for its role as an aphrodisiac to cure impotence (erectile dysfunction) and increase sperm count. But maca is much more than that: it can increase stamina for work and sports, improve muscle tone, and fight hormone-based problems like male-pattern baldness, acne, and facial hair (on women).

Maca has been highly revered for over 2,000 years in Peru. According to legend, the Incan warriors ate Maca for strength and endurance before going to battle. The Spanish Conquistadors called it the “sex herb of the Incas.” Today it is known as “Peruvian Ginseng”. Modern studies suggest that Maca may promote libido, sexual potency and energy.

How Maca Works

With age and stress, your endocrine system stops producing enough hormones to keep you functioning at your best, this means lower energy levels and reduced physical strength and stamina. You may find it harder and harder to both work and play. Maca signals the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to “reset” your body, so that your endocrine glands (testes, ovaries, pancreas, thyroid) begin producing hormones at an optimal, youthful level.

Benefits of Forever Multi MacaHormones are not just for sex; they determine everything that happens in your body including moods, energy levels, muscle mass, weight gain, sleep, alertness, and every aspect of your health. In beginning science classes, hormones are usually described as messengers because they are used to transmit signals and information between organs and organ systems.

Imagine that your body is a giant corporation that relies on e-mails (hormones) for communication. What would happen to the productivity and survival of this company if e-mails became disabled in most of its departments? Maca can be compared to a reboot that gets a tired body working again.
