You goal for financial independence influences your lifestyle.
Language is what successful folks use to confuse you that they are better than everyone else.
2. Why
Why do you want to be
financially independent
?
You goal for financial independence influ-
ences your lifestyle. If your goal is to feed
daily, your focus stays on one skill, you only
try to earn a living with it. But if your vision
is on a global scale, you find multiple ways
of engaging with your gifts. In simple terms,
you try not to lose relevance.

Why do you need the dough?
There are lots of reasons why folks wake
each day to pursue a hustle.
Different reasons motivate different folks.
To be able to afford convenience
To be able to afford luxury
To be able to influence local economy
To be able to influence global economy
To attain global relevance.

You are only as relevant as the skills you learn ev-
eryday. Your relevance is your worth, your value.
Your value is what people pay for.
To be financially independent and secure is to have
future relevance and an all-round relevance.

5. THINK GLOBALLY
ACT LOCALLY
04
The American culture teaches her people to build
for the globe. Think of brands like Facebook,
Amazon, etc.
people who think locally are not willing to do
things that won’t give them instantaneous results,
They want it "now now".
People who think globally know that building is a
process, so, they are patient with the process.

6. Teleportation is a language of the lazy
LEARN THE
ROPES
A ladder has many rungs, teleportation is a
language of the slothful. You must be delib-
erate about growth, and must learn the les-
sons each phase has to teach.
Get a mentor; someone with a point of refer-
ence to where you are going to

to confuse you into believing that they

It is not enough to learn the skills, one
should know how to sell those skills.

8. The greatest brand you can ever build
is yourself.
SELLING
ONE'S SELF
If you can't sell yourself, then you have no
business trying to sell a product or service.
Clients want to see that you are worth more
than they are paying you. They want to
know that won’t elope with their money.
Dress your best to any business interview.
Appear more expensive than the contract
you are bidding for.

Whether it is your business of personal
brand, be unique for something.
It could be:
Quality
Product
Pricing
Method of operation
USPs are Unique selling proposition/Point

CREATE A USP
FOR YOUR BRAND
10. DEFINING YOUR
CLIENTELE
09
Who should you be selling to? At what price.
Just like i pointed our earlier, your goal for financial
independence has a lot to do with how you sell
your products and services. Do you sell 90% lower
than you should just because you want to earn a
living? Unless you’ve not created value, then, you
have no business selling pity.

11. THE RIPPLE EFFECT
OF SELLING CHEAP
10
The sad thing about selling your services cheap is
that they refer you to other customers at that sad
price. Soon you are stuck offering services that
don’t profit you. You spend your time and energy
delivering services with nothing to show. Next
thing, your standards drop because you can’t keep
up.
The skill of the future is not to be sold to every-
body. Remember you spent time learning them?

12. TAKE MONEY
RISKS
11
In fishing, small baits are used to catch small
fishes, but large baits are used to catch bigger
fishes. In the business of making money, you must
be ready and willing to invest and lose money.
Some fishes are smart, they go around the bait,
and snack on it without falling prey, so it is with
business, you will not always make smart decisions.
Understanding this helps you maintain composure
when things don’t go as planned.

13. INVOLVE
OTHERS
12
The average African prefers to get the job done
alone, he underpays his staff whenever he engages
them. Don’t be an average African. Involve others,
grow your team, invest in building the capacity of
your team members. The more productive team
you have, the more value you create, the more
money you make.

14. EVOLVE!
EMBRACE CHANGE
13
During introduction into the Jet age, many busi-
nesses clutched tight to their orthodox ways,
smarter ones evolved and never lost out.
Keep up with trends, create trends, stay relevant in
every space. See opportunites where others see
chaos. Forecast into the future of doing business,
prepare and strategically position yourself.
