Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola recounts how his daughter's school comment that "my daddy sleeps every morning" motivated him to launch a new business, despite his savings earning 35% interest from Nigerian banks.

“I never planned to work again because my savings was earning 35% from Nigerian banks.

But when my daughter was asked in school what I do, she said: ‘My daddy sleeps every morning.’ That woke me up to start a business.”

Very valid reason that propelled many men to greatness.


Staying at home all day as a married man with kids is not a good practice no matter what. It will affect your children's perspective about life, work and hardwork. It will even make them lazy.


Even if you are working remotely, if possible, get a personal office away from home or use shared office so that every morning, you dress up and head to your personal or shared office and do your remote work from there than working from home.



Kids are very sensitive and some of your lifestyle will affect them as they grow to become independent.


Cultivate the habit of leaving your house every morning to engage in meaningful ventures that earns you income. Make it a habit to always dress up and leave your house in the morning, it helps you to learn time management, discipline, work habit, and it also help your health a lot too. You get new inspiration everyday you leave your house in pursuit of life success. There is more to lose than gain staying at home all day.


In fact, no person of caliber will take you serious as a man if you spend all your day and week in your house even if you are a billionaire earning your income legitimately from online, have an office, except you are a fraudster.

Allen Onyeama was a broke man before Jonathan came in to office.
Today, he's an errand boy to Jonathan and Kuku.

Otedola has been in business for decades
He was super rich even before his father became a governor

Emeka Offor was enriched massively by Obj govt.

Why is he still broke today?

Even when ure super rich u can still come out of retirement when neccessary and do more. Lol

Actually, daddies must be seen to leave the house in the morning and return at evenings, besides weekend.
Quote me daily as a daddy!
