🚨 A poem by Charles Bukowski

👇🏼

Nobody can save you but
Yourself,

And it will be easy enough to fail,
So very easily,
But don’t, don’t, don’t.
Just watch them.
Listen to them.
Do you want to be like that?
A faceless, mindless, heartless
Being?
Do you want to experience
Death before death?

Nobody can save you but
Yourself,
And you’re worth saving.
It’s a war not easily won,
But if anything is worth winning, then
This is it.

- Charles Bukowski

📭The Israel-Palestine conflict is best understood with eyes of reason, an understanding of history and a heart of true compassion.

The best conclusions will not be reached through reactionary rhetoric, and certainly not through the lens of impassioned ideology.

I’m not an authority on the subject, but if you’re interested, here’s one of the best takes I’ve seen so far.

Do not panic.

Due to the economic uncertainty levels, people will be generally more susceptible to scams in this season.

The underlying reason is understandable.

You hope there’s one opportunity where you’d just invest your money and it works for you on complete autopilot.

Scammers know you desire this.

They know that at this time, you’re more hopeful than ever.

They know what you want to hear and they will create it out of thin air to separate you from your money.

Do not panic.

Breathe.

Gather your thoughts and reassess your options.

Now more than ever, you must lean on your powers of reason.

Do not be spooked into the waiting arms of fraudulent bandits online and offline.

Do not be made to forget that you have the answers inside you if you can only quiet your mind and listen to your inner frequency.

Tonight at Night School, we continue the series “School of Life”.

It holds at 9pm and you can get your invite here: https://hsa.to/schooloflife

See you there.

There’s a lot more I wanted to speak on concerning “Decentralizing Your Income” last night but time didn’t permit.

We’ll do that on a separate webinar later next week.

Crypto will soon be ‘properly’ banned by this government.

Connect the dots.

The government is trying to get the Naira under control, and its current method of doing so is to control FX transactions.

It canceled BDCs and soon reinstated them.

It floated the Naira and quickly backpedaled on that as well.

Now, it’s trying to tax any FX transactions done outside its window.

Someone will tell them that crypto is included.

They will say “But Buhari banned crypto”

And they will answer “Yes he did.. but not entirely. Nigerians still use crypto exchanges to buy and sell dollar”

Point is… in order to be an elite Nigerian in these times, you must be 10 steps ahead.

Don’t wait until it happens and becomes a trending hashtag.

Design your response ahead of time.

You are unlikely to make your fortune through sports betting.

The most likely scenario is you unintentionally form a habit that is impossible to break and will lead you into financial ruin.

Turn away from lies such as "bet what you can afford to lose" or "do it in moderation".

No. Do not test your will power or self-control with something so dangerous.

When you see their ads, block them.

Don't even say "Hmmm... let me even see what it is about"

Listen, a post like this will not hurt betting companies.

They will always be in business.

They have their audience and always will.

BUT NOT YOU.

Focus your attention on building the only brand that will not cheat you or break your heart - YOU!

Your fortune, your gold... is all locked up in YOU.

It's a long road to building up the value you offer the world, but start.

You will learn along the way.

Rooting for you.

Don’t spend your life becoming the best in the world at the wrong thing.

Not that there’s such a thing as the wrong thing categorically, but some people invest their life force into a career path only to realize decades later that there were in fact more optimal options on the table.

Some people have a budget to invest solely in learning the actual thing they’re involved in.

Good. But I recommend you have an exposure budget also.

Attend industry events of other sectors of the economy and network with their key players.

Listen keenly to panel discussions in far flung industries.

If you’re in engineering, listen to bankers, economists and investors.

If you’re in education, listen to agricultural experts, real estate professionals and travel agents.

If you’re in fashion, listen to those in entertainment, transportation and oil and gas.

For bonus points, interview them for a blog or podcast you just made up yesterday.

You’d learn more about your chosen industry in a month than most would in a year.

Sometimes your next big move is a thing you do not know exists.

It lives as a few words on the lips of a person you haven’t met… YET.

You’re young.

You have the time to pull this off.

Now get busy.

Knowledge is quoting “As far as the eye can see”.

Wisdom is knowing why a chicken and an eagle would interpret it differently.

Rooting for you.

You’ve probably heard me make outrageous statements such as “You cannot get rich as a Nigerian website designer, graphics designer, copywriter, etc.”

Yeah I stand on that.

Those are extremely fragile career choices.

On today’s Monday email, I explain in detail and the way upward.
