8 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner

1. Be Grateful.

The benefits of gratitude are backed by science. It improves your well-being.

Gratitude shifts the mind from "I need" "I don't have enough of" to "I'm so happy" "I have enough."

The effort to change this mindset is minimal. But the difference is monumental.


2. Everything starts in the mind.

All you have control over is your mind.

By learning to master the mind, you'll master your life and realise a power far greater than anything outside yourself.


3. Failure is a positive.

We’re taught from a young age that failure is a negative.

After all, you did something, and it wasn't successful.

However, you should see each failure as a valuable opportunity for growth.

A chance to grow that will inevitably lead to success.


4. Time is precious.

Our time is finite.

However, most of us live contradictory to that.

We waste years at jobs we hate.

Stay with people we're not entirely happy to be with.

Tolerate situations that don't make us feel fulfilled

Remind yourself that time is precious.


5. Be Present.

The ability to quietly be with yourself and be aware of what is occurring around you is a skill you have to work hard on.

It will improve the quality of your mind.

To be in the moment is a powerful experience full of benefits.

Please take advantage of it.


6. Apply Your Lessons.

There’s very little connection between gathering knowledge and achievement.

You need to make an effort to apply what you learn actively.

Study the information, put it into practice, and teach others your example of creating success in your life.


7. Protect Your Time.

Leaders tend to be great at prioritising what is most important to them.

Reflect on what you spend your time doing and make the necessary changes to realize the life of your dreams.


8. Happiness Is Not Material.

The pursuit and purchase of physical possessions will never fully satisfy our desire for happiness.

It may result in temporary joy for some, but the happiness found in buying a new item rarely lasts longer than a few days.

Disclaimer: this investment strategy is to be used for long-term investing where there is an assumption that the price of the asset will increase over time.

Dollar-cost averaging is a strategy that almost certainly will get results that are as good or better than aiming to buy low and sell high. As many experts will tell you, nobody can time the market.

The number of shares purchased each month will vary depending on the share price of the investment at the time of the purchase.

When the share price rises, your money will buy fewer shares per dollar invested. When the share price is down, your money will get you more shares.

Over time, the average cost per share you spend will probably be quite favorable with the price you would have paid if you had tried to time it.

Work is doing it.
Discipline is doing it every day.
Diligence is doing it well every day.

Growing wealth is actually easier than people think. It's the patience to let it happen that is rare.

Everyone wants to be rich, but almost nobody gets rich overnight. Warren Buffett made more than 80% of his wealth after he turned 50.

The point? Instead of finding some get-rich-quick scheme, it's better to use the tried-and-true wealth-building method that works just as well today as it did half a century ago.

There are ways to get rich quickly, but until you have learned to get rich slowly, you will go from rich to broke even more quickly. Once you have your system automated and churning properly, then move your energy into the scaling up of income generation by starting a side hustle or a business.

Here's some math for you on how destructive losses are:

The information collected was from Nasdaq. They provide an estimate of when companies are expected to release earnings based on prior release dates.

Start investing in stocks with little or no experience.⁠
-⁠Figure out your game plan: Ask yourself what you're looking to achieve by investing, how much risk you're willing to take on and when you'll need the money.⁠
-⁠No such thing as a small investment: Stick to a budget that allows you to take care of your expenses and pay down any high-interest debt. ⁠
-⁠How to get started: If you're saving for something other than retirement or need access to your money more quickly, you can opt for a taxable brokerage account, with a company like Trove, Trading212, Bamboo or Passfolio, instead. That means you'll have to pay taxes on any investment income within the account. This can include selling a stock or when your cash balance earns interest. It's important to note that these gains or income are taxable in the tax year they were earned — not when they are withdrawn.⁠
-⁠Where else can you open accounts?: Online brokers and robo-advisors are some other places where you can open accounts.⁠
-⁠Understanding your options: Once you've opened an account, you'll want to explore your investment options and the risk they carry. ⁠
-⁠No matter what route you take, investing is another way to grow your wealth, or as the saying goes "make your money work for you."⁠

1. Minimal Regret Theory

Imagine yourself at age 70 and ask:

What have I regretted in Life?

Now you would have a "Things to Avoid" List,

Follow it Seriously.


2. Never Stop Experimenting

I love the way Jeff Bezos presents it:

If you double the number of experiments you do per year,

You are going to double your inventiveness.


3. Be a Driver, instead of a Passenger.

Don't wait for the future to happen,

Create your own destiny.



4. First Priority should be Customer

You cannot make short-term cheap money by bluffing your customers.

Satisfy the customers, Money will naturally flow.



5. How anyone can make money?

As Jeff Bezos said it:

We don’t make money when we sell things.

We make money when we help customers make purchasing decisions.










6. Build Long-Term Value

Build a product/ service with long-term value

If Jeff Bezos would have thought of short-term cheap games,

Amazon wouldn't be existing today.





7. Be Stubborn to Vision, but Flexible to Plan

The destination should be rigid,

While the path can be flexible as per the demand of situation.

Don't listen to people who haven't done what you're trying to do, they will tell you all the reasons why they think they cant do it, and you might start believing you can't either.
-
You can achieve whatever you want, if you're willing to put in the work.
-
And only listen to people who've already did it.

Dear reader, you're reading this because you're worried about your job / future . Today I want you to read this 1min short caption. . . .

Q : Do you know why we go to school?
A : We go to school to study.
.
Q : Why do we have to study?
A : To get a job.

Q : Why do we have to get a job?
A : To earn money, right?
.
So if the final goal is to make money then why there is no subject on money in our education system? Like seriously. Why don't we learn about this new online world around us? Or learn about investing, money management etc etc?
-
Did you know that there are +330 million people in USA and "coincidentally" 330 billionaires.

Why?
Because our school system does not teach us about finances.

I have been having this opinion for a long while i.e if it is profitable building a house and renting? Given timeframe to recoup investments. i prefer buying lands fencing and selling off later or as a preserver of wealth and hedge against inflation. if the land is in a very good location, personally i prefer building an event centre. lower overhead costs and increased cash flow.

As regards the event center, nice idea but with time people would find a better way to host their events.

emmanuelewumi:
Better to own the place you reside.

But it is not worth it, having Investment properties in some parts of Lagos and Ogun State eg Ikorodu, Ibafo, Ifo, Mowe and other places with low income earners


An elderly woman in her late 70s wanted me to assist her sell her Investment property at Ibafo because tenants have been owing her for almost 3 years

Most times Nigerians want to own a house so as to be called a landlord.

What platform do u trade options as a Nigerian sir?

I don't trade options and I don't think any Nigeria trading app trades options. I sent that post to educate and enlighten thread members.

Firstly there are lawyers and there are LAWYERS.

Secondly, you need to give them time, Nigeria just left recession in addition with coronavirus, it been tough.

From your description, you need to make your lawyer understand, it's a business and not Charity, make this very CLEAR terms to him

From what you have written you have made loss than profit not to mention cost of maintenance

Ask him questions, don't let him bambozle you with law jargons

In conclusion, the decision lies with you. Firing him as people mention here would not change the fact that you are still going to have tenant that will give you trouble, you have to ensure you do extensive due diligence.

What assurance do you have the next lawyer will not be worse off, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
