see how you can survive without a job!!

Do you really just want to survive? Honestly though, even with a job it is often difficult to survive.
Here is my advice from a life lived as such:
  1. You can live without a job, but you will not achieve anything without work. You can choose when you want to work, but without automated cash generating assets you will not be able to avoid working.
  2. Dreaming and thinking will become your biggest enemy if you do not learn how to listen first. Perhaps you believe that you have this skill, but you don’t. Dreaming and thinking are internal conversations that often drown out the voices of profit and opportunity.
  3. If you are to survive, and in fact thrive, learn to identify value and profit. Value is the perceived distance between a problem and its solution. Profit is the multiplier of people that have this perception. If one person needs to milk a cow without using their hands, and you can build a machine to do so, there is value but no profit. If 15000 people need your machine, then there is value and profit.
  4. Never, ever sell anything purely for profit. If there is only profit and no value you will lose the only real value you have in life: your good name.
  5. Finally, learn humility and learn it fast. Humility is not the opposite of arrogance nor it is “thinking less of yourself.” Humility is the skill of thinking less about yourself. Your value in life is a function of the value you create for others. You can only do so if you are focused on others.
Use from this what is appropriate, and let me know how it goes - a life lived on your own terms is by no means for the faint of heart!

The exchange rate rebounded on Friday to close at N308 at the official interbank market. The local currency gained about 5.2% reversing the N325 it closed with on Thursday.

SEC to end issuance of e-dividend warrant by June 2017

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has directed all registrars operating in the Nigerian capital market to end the issuance of e-dividend warrant to investors by June 31, 2017. This, according to the commission, will compel retail investors to embrace the exercise and stem the rising unclaimed dividend in the capital market, which is currently put at N80 billion. E-dividend is an electronic dividend payment which will enable an investor’s account to be credited after 24 hours that dividend is paid. The Director General of SEC, Mounir Gwarzo, while addressing journalists during the post Capital Market Committee (CMC), second quarter press briefing, held in Lagos yesterday, bemoaned the low level of patronage on e dividend registration in the market, noting that only 6,000 investors have accessed the platform. To encourage more participation in the exercise, the SEC boss explained that the CMC has agreed that all banks should...

How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share  I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man. If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me. If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes. If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off. I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator! Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of a...
