• 2012 was one of the worst years of my life. I had just quit a job that I once liked to my bones with a view to do something better as an entrepreneur and start living ,my dreams;
I guess I didn’t know how tough it’s to become a successful one. So, I resigned from my highly paid job and went in with all of my strength and the excitement that comes with it, hoping it was going to be as smooth as it was in my paid employment.
Guess what? I went broke in less than 3 months.
I didn’t know where to start from or go from there.
I was totally confused. My whole life was in shambles. My health was gradually failing me because I couldn’t afford money to feed well nor for simple malaria treatment.
I had lost weight. I had lost every crowd I use to see around me.
One major worry was the fact that I was a widow. I needed to settle down for a new family again.
Pressures from family and friends kept coming. I was totally broke, home and in the bank.
The worst part was that, I could not even get a day’s meal at some points.
I shied away from meeting people I’m familiar with.
My clothes were thorn and fast fading out.
I thought that I needed more money again to start all over, so I called my father and told him I was going to sell my house.
His response wasn’t encouraging at all even after giving him my reasons.
I waited for like a week and called him back.
This time I told him, that if he didn’t allow me to sell the house, then he should be expecting my co**se in the next few weeks.
That fear made him give me a go ahead to sell.
After selling my house and investing the monies, I lost everything again.
I became even worst broke than ever.
I moved into my office and started sleeping there.
Every morning, I would rush and take my bath and then open the office for whoever would come in.
It was so bad, that I had to survive on N200 or N500 to make okro soup & garri as a meal that will last me for a few days.
I would go out to mai’shayi at midnights to eat N50 bread & N20 tea.
Of course sometimes I would go hunger strike.
It was the worst time for me personally.
One of the most worrisome times I will never forget was when I got a call about the death of one of my closest nephews.
I couldn’t even afford my usual N500 that day, not to talk of having some funds to travel.
So, I called on a friend who had helped in selling stuffs for me in the past to assist with selling one of my Television set.
He was able to sell the TV set for a paltry sum, so I sent some monies out of it home to my father to assist in the burial.
That night I cried my heads out.
I was tempted to go back in search for a banking job again or probably call my last employer to readmit me back since I had only resigned.
But that didn’t work because I was ashamed of taking such step. Eventually, the one I tried, failed because I slept off during the day while they were ready to interview me.
I didn’t know what to do. I was gradually dying.
One day, I sat on the bed and something struck me to pick up some books from the shelve and read.
I reached out to an audio Book titled “The Art of Exceptional Living” by Jim Rohn, so I started playing it.
That Book was the revival I first experienced in my life.
While listening to Rohn, he made reference to the book titled “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hills.
As soon as I finished listening to it, I went in search for the book.
I was lucky to find it and I started reading it.
Guess what? The very first chapter of that book wasn’t completed when I got a rejuvenation of my life again.
In the end, I attempted the character of that Young man (Edwin Barnes) when he met with Thomas Edison in my first partnership without money.
That was how my Telecoms business was birthed.
But that wasn’t all… I learnt a whole lot from these great men.
In one of Jim’s quote, he said “Learn to work hard on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you will make a living, but if you work hard on yourself, you’ll make a fortune.”
It was obvious, that I’d been working hard on my job all these years.
Making a fortune was what is most important for me at that time.
So, I delved even more to discover that I needed to increase my skills.
I started studying on my own about how to market online and offline.
The results of these actions taken started working for my good.
In the first few weeks of going online with my new Telecoms business, I made over N200k.
I couldn’t believe life had changed. The big bang came when I got called up after advertising on Facebook to supply a big Government institution.
Of course, I didn’t have all the cash to supply that quantity, so my partner came in handy.
And I made close to a million naira.
That was followed up with another sale to an Oil & Gas firm.
I made almost a million naira again in less than 5 days from that deal.
Oh my God!
This can’t be real…. I’ve started seeing money again.
My food started changing. I started buying new wears.
I could now fuel my car.
So, I went on to recruit more hands to drive the business.
Now, money has started trickling in.
It became necessary that I increased my skills.
So I went on to register with a few online marketing and business development courses.
Of course, I’ve continued learning till date. Learning never stops.
That was when I decided to explore the great skills I’ve acquired from these great men who took time to teach me what I know today.
I went on to start exploring more opportunities with the new knowledge I just got.
That was how my second business – the health business was also birthed.
The results were astonishing.
I became hungry for more.
And then the last lap of my partnership came when I struck another deal with a Real Estate company.
The monies started flowing in from everywhere and I was shocked it could ever happen to me again.
This experiences got me laughing at some point, because Napoleon Hills in his book had said that “When the monies starts flowing, you will be amazed so much that you’ll be forced to ask of where all the monies had been all along”.
That was actually the question I’d asked when it started coming.
So, I went on to establish my own Real Estate business.
With these experiences, I just realized anyone could actually build a business without money.
Unfortunately, most people are still blinded with that mindset of “oh it’s not possible”.
So, I thought…. If I could do this, then I should share my experience with the world so that those with my kind of background.
I mean……………………
• People without the big top society names
• People without connections
• People from a humble background like myself
• People who can’t go out begging others for money
• Yeah! People who want to quit their jobs but are confused about where to start from.
Just name them….
That gave birth to my radio show….
In the last few years, I’ve never received a thank you message as ever.
I get calls, text messages from far and wide about people whose hopes had been dashed
But after listening to me, went back to start all over again
One of the guys, particularly wrote me. He said, please why not write a book on this and get people to take directly from the table.
Hmmm! I thought about this for many months. And finally decided to write a book on it.
But before that, I started by organizing seminars and speaking at events, and I was shocked at the level of results from the attendees.
I also decided to create a platform, to help teach people practically how to explore the secrets in this book.
I have also provided a onetime offer of prospective customer’s details that my students can start reaching out to from the very first day at work.
Finally, I want to advise people to believe in themselves.
I’ve had many challenges in life but I’ve refused to let myself down
It’s human to face challenges.
But inhuman to give up to these challenges
Because, I believe, that the person in you, is greater than the challenges we face out there.
Go out there and face your challenges eyeballs to eyeballs.
Take back what belongs to you.
Simply by learning and taking actions.
I will see you again.
