The10thMan: I Was 26.
Graduated school in 2004. Just before graduation, my mother had advised/suggested that I learn a vocation. ''Handwork'' as she calls it. But for reasons I cannot recall, I did not. A resourceful woman that she is. She knew that a craft or skill could always put food on the table when the chips are down with respect to a graduate's certificate. During NYSC, I taught in a remote village and learnt French. With respect to entrepreneurship, I only thought of buying cheap food stuff and sending to my home state. But I never pulled this through. Eventually, (both during and after NYSC) I choose to apply for various jobs. Any that was available. I needed seed capital for my dream. I recall trekking Trans Amadi Industrial Area in PH dropping CVs to companies. Many oil and gas servicing firms were there. Out of desperation,I even went to Primary and Secondary Schools to look for teaching jobs. Come see their shakara untop my 4.01 Second Class Upper. But I couldn't be bothered. I knew I needed to get a job first, then raise seed capital even if I wanted to start a business. Background was humble and family was just managing. Wrote various aptitude tests for banks like Intercontinental, other banks, Freisland, Diageo, LNG, etc. And another test with an Oil and Gas Agency. The first job I landed was with a bank. Old Generation Bank still existing today. Got a job as a Banking Assistant-Graduate Trainee. Went to Lagos for 1 month training and was posted to the Eastern Part of Nigeria. While in the bank in 2007, the Oil and Gas Agency finally called. Their recruitment took super long. Left/dumped the bank like crazy. Resigned without thinking twice. Salary in the Bank was 59,000 monthly back then. One of the lowest paying.
In my new job, housing allowance was 1.6 Million annually. Salary about 200k monthly. Not to mention hazard, offshore, etc. allowances. I was 26. I recall I called up my friends in the bank and jokingly told them they are all small boys.. . Teasing them and telling them how if I wanted to I could buy a car every year. By God's grace, Finances have never gone below 1 million naira. Savings alone with Work Staff Cooperative Society is multiple millions. ONE IMPORTANT THING IS I KEEP MY LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES LOW and still do. Never believed in the ''I need to upgrade so people know I have arrived'' mentality. I dont need any man or fine girl to see me as ''A Big Boy''. I successively acquired 4 properties. 2 Lagos and 2 back home. Built first house in Lagos. Added two shops to the front section. Completed and rented all flats and shops out. I still live in a rented apartment. It is cheaper for me to stay there than in my house.
Eventually, those with financial intelligence know that money in the bank and dormant salary/income doesn't bring returns. Money is a messenger and money doesn't like being idle. You need to send it on good errands to bring more money, and the cycle continues. Also, there is time value of money and money depreciates. With all these at the back of my mind, I urgently needed to transfer a lot of my finances into assets that will generate income. This is still my biggest challenge today. How to identify good investment opportunities. Additionally, as Warren Buffet said If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die. . There was need to invest in passive income businesses.
I have focused greatly on developing my skills and developing myself professionally in my area of expertise/discipline. I eventually set up a Consulting Firm/Company in my area of expertise with freelance workers. I read a lot, pay for courses myself. I do not always wait for my organisation to train me. All these coupled with work sponsored courses ensured I knew my onions in my field. I love to read about wealth creation and financial intelligence. I have a crazy collection of over 20 books. Kiyosaki, Trump, Napoleon Hill, etc. and I love watching Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez, etc. on Youtube at my spare time just for encouragement. My job is still there by Gods grace and I am rising through the ranks. Consulting firm is growing strong. Now Consult for both Upstream and Downstream Companies. Trying my best to brand the company with a good website, good brand image, modernized logo, etc. Currently, I have the desire to open a conglomerate to diversify to various sectors. Picture Dangote Group. Called up a lawyer for advice. I intend to go into a lot of business ventures. I shall do Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals, Construction, Real Estate,Catering Hospitality and Tourism, Marine, Telecoms, Financial Services, Foods, Entertainment, Mass Communication/Media, Education,Agriculture & Agro-Allied, etc.
Recently, I realized that needed daily revenue and need more income streams. Having A job is an income stream, having a consulting firm is another income stream. But I could do better. No need to wait till end of month for pay/salary or wait till companies pay for contracts executed. Some companies can owe you for ages on completed jobs. My Consulting brings money but you have to chase contracts and bids etc. Plus, contracts dont come easy. Also, price war between contractors drives down profit margins a lot. All these in mind, I am currently planning to open a Mini Plaza with a lounge anywhere after Ajah Axis in Lagos. Currently, searching for property for this venture. Need something with daily returns so the idea that I should open my own Lounge/Bar/Cafe with a small plaza for sharwama,asuun,nkwobi, fried potatoes etc.I have always pictured myself closing from work and going to handle my business at the Lounge/Bar & Restaurant and watch customers eat, drink, chat, laugh and merry. That is my next project and next income stream. A fourth (4th) income stream I am planning is to follow Grant Cardone's idea-''build multi-family dwelling housing in a property instead of a single family unit''. So picture multiple 1 & 2 Bedroom self-cons./apartments instead of a gigantic big duplex. With the multi dwelling units you are sure of some rent. Intend to do this with the other land in Lagos and more I intend to acquire in other parts of the world (Yes the World).
ONE BIG MISTAKE I MADE WAS NOT LISTENING TO MY LATE MUM. Like I hinted, she practically forces all her kids to learn a vocation/a skill regardless of how highly educated you are.All my sisters can sew, cook, bake, make soap, grill fish etc. Personally, she wanted me to learn Welding and Fabrication. Perhaps, I felt I was too educated for it or something, but I never did. Perhaps by now I would have been constructing Sky scrappers and handling huge projects with my current knowledge and exposure.
Taken liberty to post a few diagrams to educate people in a glimpse about financial intelligence. How the rich use income to create assets that generate more income. And how the poor use income to create liabilities that keeps them poor. The poor spend money on liabilities. To them that is ''enjoying'' life. The rich spend on assets. These assets are GOODS,SERVICES, PROCESSES that can solve human/society's problems. In Economics, this is called UTILITY or VALUE. Utility can be TIME UTILITY (You help people save time), and/or FORM UTILITY (You produce something in a way people want it) and/or PLACE UTILITY (You bring something closer to people so they easily reach it). Humans naturally want value and so they take decisions on any thing that will give them least risk, least effort, cost them less time and highest value/less money. The wealthy and wealth creators realize this and do not really focus on the money but focus on solving problems (creating utility) which people are willing to pay them money for. The rich get seed capital, invest it to create wealth. The poor/managing get seed capital and buy liabilities that even put them into more debt. THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.

patsygirl: Mine was unbelievable as i never imagined making so much through such a business. A friend pestered me into it and i reluctanly gave it a try. She was into dietry supplements and was actually making so much because she had worked in the bank and had a large client base. Being an introvert. i told her i could not do it because i dont even know whom to market them to. She told me the the products were in high demand and that people are actually looking for the products to buy. I didn't believe her still untill the pestering became so much and i decided to buy a few and try. Since i wasnt good at talking to people, i decided to go online. I tried facebook group adds but it was a futile attempt. I didnt give up because my money was at stake. I proceeded to jiji and began to post adds and behold the next day my phone started ringing like no man's business. I realized that theses products are actually high in demand and each person that calls is actually asking for at least three products at a time because they go together. The profit margin on each of these products is up to two thousand naira and so for each purchase or order you you are are making a profit of at least six thousand naira in the the comfort of your room. These calls roll in on a daily basis and and i visit the transport company i use almost every day to send to my clients. I have even upgraded to using courier service. I owe my friend a lot for not giving up on me knowing she was only trying to help me. I have tried a lot of business but non has paid me this much. Now i know that health products sell themselves. I'm nice to my customers though but i discovered that even when you are not readily available to attend to them, they are very patient because they need the products like crazy.
Can I contact you pls, kindly drop your email add, thanks |

Jerie: When this thread was opened, I read through it, didn't have a dime. I had been working in a place in Lagos for 5 years, earning 60k per month and never made a single million for myself. After reading, I decided to leave my job in December 2018 and launch out on my own. If I perish, so be it. I called up those who knew me and told them I was on my own.
The turnaround was phenomenal. I made my former annual salary in 2 months. Between January and July 1, I made over 4.5M. Fixed up lots of things with 1.5 and put 2.5 in various investments. Presently out of cash but I'm not broke. More business would definitely come. Bro, pls can I contact you? 1 Like |
