I have hustled different Jobs to get to where i am today!

 There's only but a few things I haven't sold.

Yeah! I'm a bit exaggerating but what I'm trying to say in essence is that I've sold a bunch of different things growing up.

I've sold bread.

I’ve sold car washing detergent.

I've sold deodorant. I helped a friend of mine sell over 100 cartons of EC1 deodorant his Aunty imported from Turkey. 

I've sold locally made perfumes.

I’ve sold goats, fowls, beans, rice and garri.

I've sold books and magazines in buses.

My first business after my secondary school was a physics and chemistry laboratory centre.


I did all of these things to teach myself sales and marketing, and of course, make money to support my parents train me in school.

It’s not today I started sales and marketing.

As we walked through different streets in Aba last year and a few weeks ago in Uyo, I showed my wife some of the businesses and jobs I've done in the past. She was amazed at how I managed to do all these things even as a student.

Every bit of those experiences shaped me to be a better version of myself.

None of them is a waste today.

When I see people who hide under "I'm still a student" to give excuses for their laziness, it makes me wonder the kind of future they want for themselves.

Being a student is not a disability tag.

Being a student is not a disadvantage.

Being a student is an opportunity to try/learn many things without anyone making you feel guilty for them.


You can tap into numerous opportunities available to students only and even receive access to many more you might not be qualified for yet just because you are a student.

If you will have to play the "I'm still a student" card each time you want to ask for a favour, it shows that you are not yet taking full advantage of being a student.

Except for my books I published myself, none of the other businesses I did was done with my own money.

I had social capital. I got it when I earned their trust.

If you need something with a price tag on it but can't afford it, instead of asking that it should be given to you free of charge, ask yourself, what can I do to ethically earn it?

Release your mind to think and it will return with a mind-blowing idea.

I've repeatedly taught this concept in different ways on this platform and I'm impressed with the way some people are responding to it.

I've been privileged to have some students and fresh graduates sign up for the January and February editions of my one-on-one physical training blogging. I’m certain many more will join in the March edition that the registration is currently ongoing.

It shows that these ones don't want to graduate and start looking for jobs. 

Of course, except you are building a career in a certain field, what other kind of job will you be looking for in Nigeria when you can conveniently earn $5,000 per month on your own with a potential to do even $100k and above as you continue to grow your blog?

The best part is that your children can continue to profit from the business when you are long gone.

Listen to me...

There's no better time to start testing the microphone than when you are still in school.

No better time at all.

Even if you are no longer a student, don't relent in pushing yourself to dare big goals.

It's a fresh week again.

Go out there and attract that which your heart desires even as you continue to build your capacity.

I wish you the very best.

CLAIM FROM SOYSY SPRAY ESSENTIAL

 Currently, there are many people who believe that women with cysts, fibroids or tumors should avoid using soy products because it stimulates tumor growth.  However, the fact is that soybean sprouts contain isoflavones, which have a molecule similar to oestrogen, which has an estrogen-like effect, called phytoestrogen, but does not cause an increase in tumor size  Studies have shown that phytoestrogens have an affinity 500-1000 times lower than estrogen.  While estrogen has a stimulating effect on breast tissue and the endometrium, phytoestrogens have a less effective effect on the endometrium and breast tissue.  Therefore, phytoestrogens do not cause endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer, breast cancer, and do not increase tumor size  Moreover, phytoestrogens have a self-eliminating mechanism when in excess.  Therefore, soy products are absolutely NOT contraindicated for women with cysts, fibroids, tumors...  _ Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Vy, Pe...
