Though totally unplanned and unscripted, our emergency session, “Leveling Up, Getting Ahead”, showed how much such conversations are necessary.

Whenever a person like me charges people to rise to power… the system often fights back.

When I say ‘charges people’, I don’t mean the fake confessions that make you feel like you’re conquering the world, but it’s just all in your delusional mind.

Big egos, tiny pockets.

Only wealthy in your mind, but you’re still jumping buses in Lagos.

Therefore the system is tolerant of public voices that make you feel good but in practice, keep you on a motivational treadmill - inspired but running nowhere fast.

Do you remember how back in Primary/Secondary School, you’d come home with a C in Math or Chemistry, your parents would scold you and insist on an A?

Some of your parents probably saw your report card and declared an immediate state of emergency on your academics.

They swung into action and hired lesson teachers (private tutors) or sent you to after school group classes (cheaper but almost just as effective).

Remember? Good. I know you do.

All of us that grew up in Nigeria (and most of Africa) have a lot in common pertaining those early years.

Well, as an adult, your freedom and sovereignty can be a BIG PROBLEM!

Because… you have no authority in your life capable of scolding you for carrying a C on the report card of life.

Money is not everything, we know.

But it’s like O-Level Mathematics - Love it or Hate it - without it, you will not graduate.

It’s only in the school of life, that people pat you on the back for carrying an F, and if you get a C, your testimony is allowed in church.

You see why I shout?

Should I continue shouting, or should I calm down and face my front?

Do you see it now?

We will have future engagements in this matter.

Until then, remember…

You can always play a bigger game. There’s always a higher level.

Keep making the rest of your life, the best of your life.

At Night School, some ask for the stream to be up for longer because they came late.

You realize you’re showing the reason for your poverty, yeah?

You’re asking for a separate set of rules to be created to accommodate your indiscipline.

How you do one thing is how you do everything.

You flout the rules of life & then turn beggarly, asking to be an exception to the rule.

A life-changing experience such as Night School, isn’t even asking for money - just your prompt attention.

You miss critical knowledge shared at the beginning & start begging for special treatment.

Get used to treating yourself with dignity.

If you don’t meet a criteria, walk away & acquire whatever it takes to respectably get it.

Then audit your time & resources to ensure that you meet up next time.

Don’t debase yourself & rob your soul of its elevation.

Kings trade favors. Kings negotiate deals. Kings purchase outcomes.

But Kings do not beg.

I hope I’m communicating.

Arguing about Israel vs Iran is a trap and a waste of your psychic energy.

Just make money so that you can purchase real freedom of movement, defeat the limitations of your green passport and reserve the optionality to fly your family to any sane destination you choose.

Yes you can.

Now get back to work.

Rooting for you.

Prosperity, upward mobility, etc… are all made to look hard or out of reach for one reason - Capitalism.

Scrutinize the word - Capitalism.

Profit is made in Capitalizing on asymmetries in wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Meaning… some people are meant to eat of the tree of knowledge, become aware… and then gatekeep it.

The other naked humans, blissfully unaware of their innocence, will continue to exist in a lower consciousness, thinking it a privilege to serve the other class.

It’s a food chain. Big eats small. Strong eats weak. Wise enslaves the ignorant.

1st world farms 3rd world 😊

Back to CAPITALISM.

To *capitalize* on the idea that most humans do not know how the game of life works - its higher principles, hidden synchronicities and forbidden wisdom.

There’s no ending the cycle. I’m not even interested.

But what if you could learn the unwritten rules of the road?

Well, that’s what we’re here for. Join me tonight at 9.

We’re now preparing study notes and resources for last night’s episode of Night School.

I’m adding a superbonus to this one. Last night, I briefly touched on an idea - the 1% path for every industry.

For example, if you’re skilled at writing code, the 1% path is learning to be a founder.

You’ll get a ChatGPT prompt to decode the 1% path for your skill and across multiple industries.

These and more will be sent to those who registered for the meeting through the provided URL.

If you didn’t register or aren’t certain of your registration status, please do so at https://obidi.co/levelup

You’ll receive it as long as you register before the email is sent by 8am tomorrow (23/06).

Please note that requests for this resource will not be entertained outside of this medium or window.

Talk soon.

So… there’s this powerful speech I heard about 12 years ago… and I played it everyday, multiple times a day, until I broke through and ‘emerged’ in 2015.

Not your everyday aspire to perspire. You likely wouldn’t know the speaker.

He’s long dead but I’m glad I kept a piece of him.

So far, I’ve kept it private, only shared with a handful of friends when I feel they need edification for their purpose journey.

I’ll share it publicly for the first time today, only with those of you on the above list.

The link is in the message above this one.

I’ll delay sending it until 3pm. That ought to be sufficient, no?

Life hack for Nigerians under 25.

Don’t dress your age.
Don’t sound your age.
Don’t work (like) your age.

Mentally push your internal programming at least 10 years ahead.

Hang with those 10 years ahead of you.

You will often be the least accomplished there but you can bear the temporary discomfort.

Do not conform to 3rd world thinking that keeps youth thinking “but you’re still young”.

Those who say it are unaware of the spirit of the age that projects that idea through their words.

Yes you’re young.

But you live on a continent that is cruel and unforgiving of underachievement.

Those that tell you “take it easy” today, will shame you in 10 years if time passes you by.

I wish the world didn’t work that way, but regardless, it is what it is.

Level Up!

It appears that we are already oversubscribed for this meeting.

The maximum attendance limit for any Zoom meeting is 1,000 attendees, but I see over 3,000 registrants here.

Even though not all registrants are expected to actually turn up, chances are high that we will exceed capacity.

Please show up 15 minutes ahead of time (6:45pm) to guarantee your spot (access link is in your email).

However, if you show up after all seats are taken and are therefore unable to gain entry, please look out for a Youtube streaming link here on our whatsapp channel.

It would enable you to watch the session, but you would not be able to ask questions.

See you soon.

What’s the one role AI cannot replace?

If you attended our Life Intervention Series, you know the answer.

Hint: It’s the role occupied by the person on this picture.

Life is a Ponzi scheme and that’s okay. Just never get caught at the bottom of that pyramid.

Thursday’s Q&A and the ensuing feedback revealed that most people want and need an in depth session on money.

I think I did that well enough in “The Alchemy of Wealth” and “Master of Markets” (replay at obidi.co/replay).

However, I’ve decided to do an upgraded teaching on it, focusing on the new dynamics of Capitalism.

It will take 3 days to unpack.

Clear out this weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) for NEW MONEY WEEKEND.

As usual, you’ll get downloads from me that are impossible to get elsewhere in the world.

Details to follow shortly.

A friendly reminder that Capitalism doesn’t care about you.

If you are the world’s best expert at something people don’t want, you will be poor.

There are numerous options of skills to be competent at.

Leave the crowd alone. They don’t want you to do better than them.

Do your research, Think a while and Choose prudently.
