UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL WITH THE DIGITAL AGE

It pains people when I tell them that they're lazy.

Why do I say this ??

It's because they're 🤷 HOW ??

Because we humans we're tied to this "I don't want stress" mentality most especially Africans no offense am an African but I say this from experience like I don't understand you go to school everyday like every single day of your life for a total of 15+ yrs of your entire schooling career you studied learned and implement (during exams) to get the best result

Now just to learn something that would eventually change your life in the latter future you refused 🤷?? Idk why but you did you are so relaxed that even your own body is already addicted to it.... Like don't you want to change your financial life for the better because school is not a sure path to making millions, sure don't get me wrong that's why you go to school.

To:

Get good grades

Graduate with either first or second class

Get a profitable Job and make money

Now do you have it at the back of your mind that "Life happens to people" it can be you me or anyone what do I mean by this

You entire schooling is a waste if you can't get a high paying job

So why not look around that same online space that you're using for fun purposes to learn something digital.

Now you might be wondering what am I talking about that's so special?? Some might have gotten the ldea already some might have not now what I talking about

A SKILL

Because even if you are jobless with whatever skill you have learnt if you know how to sell it in the online space you can make a living and even turn it into a full time income

I have seen people succeed with the digital skill they have learnt during their educational career and turned it into a passive income stream hereby ignoring what they studied in college(university)

Mind you they are still expert in what they studied in school but since they couldn't find a profitable Job after university they turned their online skill into a money making machine

Have you ever wondered how people succeed in the following aspect such as :

Marketing

Content creation

Copywriting

SEO writing

Ghost writing

And so much more

This skills/business where created by people who have no idea about what they're doing or neither are they expert in this field but hoping that in doing this they help a future generation that they have no idea about. Sounds funny right well moving on

These skills they where developed internally through their mind some of them are either dropouts or graduates

Because who believed that:

Mark Zuckerberg would create Facebook or

Elon Musk would be the richest man today or

Bill Gates would even create Microsoft

No one believes it they just had the passion for what they could do to change their lives for the better and also humanity.

Mind you don't take it that you being a drop out or graduate gives you a wild door of opportunity to achieve this it takes persistence and consistentcy if not "you will fail" why??

Some lazy attributes can kick in or being frustrated about where to start or how to begin.

The people who created these opportunities where persistent and passionate about what they're doing they developed an idea to created something that could help lives

Also you can be one of those sets of people who makes a difference by creating another skill or business model that could help the next generation

So NEVER GIVE UP it's now or never

My word to you is

I await your success and I'll see you in the next 🫡

Sometimes I wonder why people have this "what if" situation embedded in their mindset. Do you doubt your abilities?

I chose to be a Marketer (Affiliate), but to tell you the truth, I didn't think for a moment that I would make it or even be the best at it, even though I haven't scratched the surface. My journey in the "make money online" realm started with FREE PLATFORMS, then I ventured into PONZI SCHEMES but didn't succeed. Africans, especially Nigerians, can relate because it's a common practice here.

These are the kind of things lazy teenagers do. Because what they don't know is that they are playing "Risk with Reward." In the end, they tend to regret, cry (sometimes), and get frustrated, wondering why the platform crashed or why it didn't work. This is one of the common problems with the platforms they invest in they often crash, leaving them with little to no profit and they live with it. It pains me to see them face this. I remember a video where Iman Gadzhi mentioned why investment is unwise for beginners - the risk to reward balance. Most beginners always want quick money, something they don't have to stress themselves about. But why do they think this is simpler than investing in a life-changing course, book, training, or mentorship that could change their financial life?

Now I see why marketers advise against indulging in PONZI SCHEMES, even though they're common. Most marketers started there and ended up nowhere until they took up a skill that could change their life.

One thing people don't understand is the potential ahead of them in buying an expensive or cheap course.

Don't get me wrong; people can still buy digital courses/ebooks to learn a skill and benefit nothing from them if the value offered is pointless. So my advice is to take a course but also "Choose your information correctly." If you don't want to buy a course/ebook, you can learn organically, i.e., through YouTube I highly recommend it. YouTube is a learning studio for beginners who do not wish to spend and also it's the second largest search engine after Google. So there's a massive amount of information available. Even I didn't buy a single course, though I had them at my disposal. I used YouTube most of the time and got the value I needed. But those videos aren't as packed with valuable information as a course could provide. That's why I took the UIG Course (Ultimate Income Generator) made by my mentor. Funny enough, you go to university to extend your educational knowledge, so why not take a course?

The most popular online businesses here in Nigeria are PONZI SCHEMES, Content Creation & Affiliate Marketing. I wonder which is getting the upper hand. Affiliate Marketing should, why? It's easier to start, but most people see it as stressful or hard. It can be hard if you don't have the right information and guidance. But what if you do? Can you make the most out of it? Can you be consistent? Another thing people should know is marketers advise against taking affiliate marketing as a "GET RICH QUICK SCHEME " I.e the likes of PONZI SCHEMES. You will fail if you do. Affiliate Marketing is simple if you understand it. Get information, learn it, and implement. I remember a word that the prince of copywriting, Emmanuel Akpe, said, "If you know your onions, you'll eat your suya," meaning, "If you have the right information, you can succeed," no matter the outcome.

Leave PONZI SCHEMES; they won't fetch you anything. They may get you a couple of thousands, not millions but there's always a but. Do you know that you, who's just starting up, is competing against thousands of successful investors who know the tricks, tactics, and truths about those platforms? They would never tell you all they say is invest now while it's early and gain, which makes you an entire loser in the game because you know nothing more than just the basics.

But if you invest your time in learning skills such as Sales and Marketing, Content Creation, Copywriting, Website Design, Graphic Design, Ghostwriting, Social Media Management (SMMA), and more, you stand a chance of being a winner among your peers in the game. No one would give you information on these skills without mentorship or guidance if guidance isn't involved it's entirely a waste. Having a good mentor or advisor in your business is essential for growth.

A good mentor wouldn't lie to you; they'd be ready to reveal their secrets for your success. All you need to do is be attentive and listen to them, and you're on the path to achieving that goal. In cases like sales & marketing and content creation, a good mentor would come in handy.

If you can understand and apply this as a beginner, you will surely succeed.

So choose wisely.

So having said this, I hope this information gives you a push in the right direction to avoid PONZI SCHEMES and anything short of investment as a beginner. If yes, please like, follow, and comment.

And share this with anyone who you think might benefit from this information.

I'll leave you with my word: I await your success, and I'll see you in the next.
