Take all the calculated risks that you can as a young person while you're under the shelter of your parents.

If you've done your calculations and come to the conclusion that

1. You will have where to sleep
2. You will have what to eat

Perhaps you should pull the trigger.

Just saying 😌

P.S: This is not financial advice, abi how do they say it again

Till our next live session,

-Bolu Okunade

I'm playing with the ideas of holding a series of live mentorship session particularly for students running businesses in school.

There's a reason I'm segmenting "business owners in school"

It'll be a free program, perhaps about 6 weekends or slightly more or less.

If this is something you'll be interested in, leave a comment under this.

If I see good numbers, ill do it.

A crash course on how to get your business to become more structured

Sprinkles salt and seasoning.... food will be delivered soon

The entrepreneur in school is sandwiched between 2 dilemmas,

1. Abundance of opportunity
2. Scarcity of experience

This unfortunate interplay usually is the reason why many students either don't excel in business at school, or they run a "just-to-feed-myself" business, keeping things small and never scaling into a big business.

Over a 4-week period, I will sit down with as many student entrepreneurs as possible and help increase the possibility of you arriving at a great entrepreneurial enterprise.

At no cost

Does this sound like you?

Have you signed up for this already?

Have you shared the poster to every single student group that you know?

I don't know when next I'll have a program dedicated to helping students.

This is a bigger problem than I envisaged,

Initially, I planned the STUDENT CEO program as a light-weighted webinar.

I mean, just 4 weekends to help straighten, optimize students running businesses in school.

While the team was finalizing the content of the form, there was a column for current revenue monthly.

I looked at the maximum, and it was #500k+ monthly, I laughed sheepishly.

"You are underrating these students", many of them are doing millions now o."

Alas, I looked at the backend today, and it was as if cold water was poured on my head.

Less than 3% of the people who filled in the form are doing over the stipulated amount.

For context, 500,000 naira is barely about $380.

While I'm never one to incite an unhealthy appetite for material things, I must say, a lot of people are fishing in the shallow side of this deep pond called the university market.

Take it from someone who had "bastard workings" back then in the university.

I became concerned afresh, perhaps the "light work" I anticipated is actually heavier than I thought.

I had to revamp the program, and currently contemplating even bringing some external speakers.

The wound is deeper than I thought, we need surgical operations guys.

It's going to be detailed, dense, surgical and intense.

I'll take a longer while to prepare, thus you have a longer registration window time.

If you haven't done so

Flood every group with students you know with the program poster and links

If after this workshop series, your revenue remains the same, we can thus conclude that your village people are quite efficient.

Be honest with yourself.
Are you really seeking more knowledge, or avoiding the hard work?
Because results do not come from what you know.
They come from what you do with what you know.

Sequel to the moniepoint CEOs conversation.

I have a question to ask

Is the problem that excellence is scarce, or we’ve just spent too many years calling average ‘excellence', and we can't see that we are not excellent according to global standards?"

Discuss: 100 marks

Random thought.

The lion is not the fastest.
That’s the cheetah.

Not the biggest.
Ask the elephant.

Not the smartest.
Monkeys have entire group chats in the forest.

Yet the lion somehow secured the PR and BRANDING package of the century:
‘King of the Jungle.’

Most lions literally die of starvation. Terrible KPI for a ‘king,’ if we’re being honest.

And guess what, that ‘fraudster’ doesn’t even live in the jungle.

YES, Lions don’t live in the jungle.

If you think all you need to succeed is “to become the best”, again you’ve missed it.

Your investment to become “the best” must match your investment to “become KNOWN AS the best”

One of our favorite philosophers- “Solo baby” narrated a story,


“Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard”


I hope you know poverty transcends lack of cash (but let me not become distracted and focus on the main point).

The moral lesson is that “His words were not heard ”, even though he saved a whole city.

So, how dare you say to yourself, “My work will speak for me”

In 2026? Ehn? Shalewaa! Pius!

I’ll end here so I dont get upset,

You get the gist ba.

Tell me thank you
