[Tonight] Can you spot the ways to wealth in your industry?

If you’ve followed the series so far, you understand why many paths advertised as ‘the way’, are not in fact the way.

When there’s a need for new slaves in any industry, ‘they’ embark on campaigns to incentivize people to sign up for those paths.

But when there’s a vacuum for the New Kings, you will never see that advertised.

They don’t love you that much.

Therefore, your discernment must be sharpened to the point of supreme accuracy.

Given that your mortal existence has a finite time on earth plane, your energies must be channeled to endeavors that are highly leveraged.

There are wealthy people in every industry.

And there are poor people in every industry.

“Narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it”

Tonight at Night School we continue with a bonus session for the “Alchemy of Wealth” series: “Ascending The Pyramid”

You’ll learn the paths to discard and the ones to embrace with urgency.

You’ll also learn the mental models and frameworks with which to independently make this decision.

Incidentally, we had to hurriedly end last night’s stream due to infrastructural issues (electricity 😂) but we’ll continue next week.

Meanwhile, a Night School participant sent me this video just after we closed.

Patiently watch it for meaning. Do you see the connection with last night’s lesson?

As always, please pass this through your own critical thinking and extensive research.

I’m not sharing this because I fully support her views. I haven’t personally researched them yet.

I’m sharing because she underscores 2 ideas I shared:
- popular slavery vs unpopular slavery
- the advertised ways to wealth vs that which will never be advertised

You can go to her original post and learn from the comments too here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_o5TppurTN/?igsh=MTZmZGRsOWNiNThjbg==

Knowledge, is power.

I mean… HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, is power.

I mean, what you know that others don’t, is power.

Why are you giving your power away?

Not every conversation is an invitation to be an open book.

You don’t need to impress these people.

Stop leaking.

☝🏽 Gratitude is not ‘thank you’.

Words are a necessary part of the gratitude performance, but substance is sacrosanct.

If a person makes you money and all you do is say ‘thank you’, they know you’re uncultured and they make a mental note to favor someone else who better understands the game of reciprocity.

Be careful when others see your greatness/star/value before you.

The common instinct is to take advantage, knowing you’re criminally unaware and underpriced.

So the whole “I don’t even know what they see in me” is neither cute nor humble.

It’s naive. You’re a walking target and you don’t even know.

STUDY your energy.

Know it. Accept it.

Stop exposing yourself to social media demons until you’ve learned to protect it, harness it and expand it.

Master of Markets: How to Locate and Maximize Your Profit Centers

That’s tonight’s topic.

Please keep your eyes ready here and via email.

You’ll get the links soon.

Most people do not really have an income problem - they have a market problem.

They haven't full considered the real issue - having something valuable to offer the market that people are willing to pay for.

It then beggars new questions:
- What exactly is considered valuable by the market?
- How is that value created?
- How is said value exchanged for money, in sufficient quantities to be profitable?

Answer these questions and you're on your way to becoming a Master of Markets.

Tonight, we will explore this topic together.

Good evening fam. Don’t worry, I’m committed to showing up for you this week.

Incidentally, we cannot stream tonight due to Third World problems.

We’ll run it tomorrow (Sunday), okay?

It’s “Master of Markets 2”

See you then.

I skimmed through this book and found some useful gems.

Give it a go.

— J.O.

[Tonight] When I started traveling frequently, a new problem arose - carrying my massive library of books around.

The first couple of times I had to pay for 'excess luggage' onboard international flights taught me that I had to innovate my way out of having to pay fees that were way in excess of the actual cost of the books themselves.

And so even though I prefer physical books, I had to teach myself to read and absorb digital literature.

I acquired a separate tablet device for this purpose and in time, I could enjoy digital books (fiction and non-fiction) just as well.

However, when I'm going to be stationed in a specific location for a longer time period, there are some staples I like to buy.

One of them is a book called "Guerrilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson.

Let's be honest, it's not like I really read the book. I just like the title - Guerrilla Marketing.

To understand it, we need to know the meaning of 'guerrilla' - a member of a small independent group taking part in irregular fighting, typically against larger regular forces.

Guerrilla armies are aware of their limitations in size, capacity and resources, and therefore have to get creative in how they engage larger, more organized, better funded armies.

And so, Guerrilla Marketing generally refers to how small players are able to deploy the creative use of impromptu and unconventional tactics in order to win or at least achieve their aims.

I keep the book around to remind myself to never get complacent with the guerrilla strategies that got me here.

They worked for me, and tonight, I will share them with you.

🚨 You’ve got mail!!!

Night schoolers only.

An inspiring post to help you power through the week.

Here: https://x.com/AlexHormozi/status/1861274927766347907

The pedestalization of money is a psychological/spiritual trap and your favorite entertainers are in on it.

Here’s the truth: Productivity is (or ought to be) the natural state of man.

A natural consequence of productivity is (or ought to be) income.

A human being who remains in a perpetual state of productivity does not typically worry about money.

Productivity is (or ought to be) the act of producing something that has bankable utility.

It ought not to be done just because you need money, but because PRODUCTIVITY IS (or ought to be) THE NATURAL STATE OF MAN, of which income is a natural consequence.

However, humans drift all the time for a variety of reasons and may be unfaithful or inconsistent with productivity.

The world desires and requires your poverty so it can dangle the carrot and make you chase whatever it points at, harvesting your energy in the process.

The world knows that:

- an unproductive man is a financially strained man

- a financially strained man is more susceptible to psychological defeat, depression and other emotional impurities

- a psychologically defeated man is easy to control, and must be kept chasing money in order to feed his energy to the system

The clues are everywhere - our music, movies and politics.

I say this with conviction: Financial strain is unnatural to the actualized man.

It’s not a thing that should show up on your radar.

Back to basics. Please answer these carefully. Don’t rush.

1. Given your limited mortality, what do you consider to be the most rewarding and productive use of your life force?

2. What do you honestly consider to be the faithful and most creative expression of this definition of productivity?

3. What habits, people, places and events have caused you to drift fro the plan or become inconsistent in the past?

Question these and you’ll see.

Your daily concern should not be about money to live. Survival is a spell, though not without remedy.

Once you’ve established faithfulness to this path, your thoughts should focus on how to scale the size of your impact and contribution to the world through your productivity.

Money is a slave.

It’s not worthy of your worship.

You may not admit it publicly, but deep down, you already know what you must do to change your life.

It’s in:

- a difficult conversation you’re unwilling to have.

- an insecurity you’re afraid to confront.

- a competency you know you must acquire whose cost in time/money seems too steep.

- personality flaws you’re not strong enough to diagnose.

- a circle you must leave, and another you must enter.

Tough, I know.

And that’s why you’re like Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane wishing this painful cup of transfiguration to pass over you.

It won’t.

It’ll be there at every juncture of your life.

And every day you delay, the personification of your dark side that you so fondly call “the devil” will offer you detours.

Every time you sip the illusory cocktail of options, side quests and ‘opportunities’, you pay in irredeemable years.

Isn’t the devil still a liar?

Be honest to yourself and face the real thing.

Yeah, you know you’re afraid of confronting your crippling fear of speaking and public scrutiny and that’s why you felt irrationally hopeful about that Ponzi scheme.

You’re falling behind in University Calculus and that’s the real reason you wish to drop out, not because you’ve intelligently weighed your options.

You’re unwilling to follow through with the momentary embarrassment of being a beginner at something, so you just let the time pass.

It’s not wise. It’s weak.

“Phew! I can actually make money without polishing myself, studying for the required exams and learning to speak eloquently to people.”

“This airdrop don dey pay. School na scam”

“I made $12 on Amazon KDP”

Then you spend 6 months chasing a mirage until rent is due and you’re panicking again.

Are you not tired?

If you’re unwilling to bear this yoke in your youth, it may unfortunately be passed down to your children.

Wealth is a spiritual path.

And like other spiritual paths (love, marriage, parenting, etc) it requires that you figuratively descend into your hell, fight your devils and resurrect as a more worthy version of yourself.

Without Goliath’s head, you cannot graduate.

If you need help, ask people.

You’re not getting any younger.

These may not be politically correct words to post publicly but… whatever.

Do not take your youth for granted lest you burn out your candle.

This one life that we have is not a dress rehearsal for some other main act.

As far as we know, this is it.

Are you ready and willing to do the work?

It’s not as scary as it looks.

On the other side is joy, fulfillment and that unshakable confidence that comes from building a financial wall around yourself and the ones under your protection.

You will realize that on the other side, YOUR PRODUCTIVITY HAS NO BEAR MARKET!

I want to eat your money as well, so I actually have a vested interest in the project of YOU 2.0!

So yeah, I choose to think you will do the work.

2025 was a great year after all!

Wasn’t it?

It was, yeah?

Yeah??!

Rooting for you!
