Unfortunately, network conditions after the rains make it impossible to live stream anything currently. Today is out of it as well. Let’s make it work for Tuesday. — J.O.

I’m speaking today at the Money Matters Conference in Lagos. Asides me, there’s a great lineup of teachers you can learn from. I should be coming up around 1 or 2pm but here’s the streaming link meanwhile: https://www.youtube.com/live/lI1OmAhkCLY?si=5_DhCnaU739EO-cB See you there. — J.O.


Financial anxiety and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) on life can cause you to chase people who are in reality going through exactly what you’re going through, or worse. It’s the status equivalent of make up filters and fake lashes that happens in most big cities of the world as a survival strategy. Everyone is catfishing everyone with the illusion of having the secret sauce knowing damn well they’re just as lost and empty. Sit your anxious ass at home and be faithful to your purpose. Commit to executing on the same boring plan that gets you closer to your goals. Read, plan, execute. And oh, watch John Obidi on Night School. Can you at least manage that? — J.O.

Look, I understand the panic that comes with ‘marking time’ and measuring your achievements for the year. It’s worse when you get to see the accomplishments of others on your social media feeds, with or without your consent. I don’t judge you. Envy is an almost inescapable part of the human condition. It was only easier for the previous generation to avoid it because there was no social media to make them aware that Brother Gbolahan had just built his third house in Ikoyi with the #GodDidIt caption or #WhatGodCannotDoDoesNotExist Nigerian God for the win ‘cause apparently He built the house, thanks to a rababa here and a shababa there. Anyway… Tomorrow marks the 6th month of the year and many will be reminded that 2025 is almost half gone. I used to be in this position way back in 2012 as a brilliant but broke Website Designer based in Benin City, Nigeria. But then the scales began to fall from my eyes because of something I read in Malcolm Gladwell’s book - Outliers. I’m not necessarily recommending the book. I didn’t even finish it. That takeaway did it for me and I shut the book, never to return. I realised that in this game of prosperity, success, wealth or whatever we call it these days, someone had pushed me into the wrong bus. CONDUCTOR, DROP ME! *_Give me 1,000 reactions and I’ll keep telling this story._* — J.O.

This week’s Night School will hold tomorrow night (Sunday), instead of tonight. See you then. — J.O.

When you are this close 🤏🏼 to figuring it out, ‘the system’ will send you a diversion - a phone call, social media update, maybe an unsolicited knock on your door. It’s not random. The system profits off of a critical mass of people remaining disconnected from their true selves, living perpetually in fight or flight mode, never reserving sufficient mental energy for catching synchronicities. It will keep you too busy to think. But you absolutely must think, and read, and learn, and grow. *There is no other way.* The road to destruction is broad. I must admit that ‘destruction’ does seem a tad bit dramatic. More like the road to more emptiness, chasing meaningless adulation/awards so you have a brief feeling of being special, constant fear of loss, etc. Yeah, the road to all that… is broad. The game of life is out here catfishing everyone else. But the way to life… life on your own terms… the one that endures and really feels like life… one without fear of existential threats… no debt, chasing nothing but attracting everything… Yeah, the road to that particular life, is narrow. Few will find the narrow road because it won’t be advertised. Pause and think. Study, journal, course correct. Improve. Find others doing the same. There is no other way. Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave. And one more thing… When you find your oasis, your paradise, your heaven, your little village by the sea… Shut up about it. The masses will destroy what they cannot possess. Shut up and take in that suntan. You’d have earned it. — J.O.
