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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...

Why Entrepreneurs Should Engage Their Spouses in the Business

When her husband first joined a startup, a woman I’ll call Cindy had saved up a comfortable nest egg for her family. Even with several young children, their financial situation was stable enough that their personal risk in the venture seemed minimal. But a year later, when the seed funding dried out and no substantial revenue was forthcoming, things went downhill for them. Her husband stopped receiving a salary, yet continued working and traveling extensively for the company. Cindy had to care for their children, including two toddlers and two autistic preteens, mostly on her own. She begged her husband to find another job, but he didn’t want to leave a business that he had already invested so much in. She offered to go back to work and have him watch the kids; he refused. Within two years, their financial reserves and their children’s college funds had disappeared entirely. Their home was eventually foreclosed on, and the family had to move in with a relative. Onl...
