A little more than 2 years ago, someone influential told me that I should do everything to get a second passport because knowing what he knows (he’s an insider), ‘these people' don’t care about Nigeria. When the chips are down, they will move. In fact, he said he had been so slow about his own residency but his contemporaries told him to guard it well for ‘incasity’ as we normally call it.
Every organization that I have trained for have asked me to come again. I think I have around 90% repeat rate, unless they did not repeat a programme where I was a trainer or speaker.
Every customer who has ever paid me for ONE SERVICE or PRODUCT has paid me for ANOTHER ONE.
I have always said for you to claim that someone is your true customer, they must pass 3 tests:
On 23rd April, 2021... Nigeria overtakes Congo as country with worst electricity supply. Hmmmmmn.
Largest poverty population: Nigeria is worst in the world.
Largest out of school children: Nigeria is worst in the world.
Police brutality: Nigeria is one of the top 19 in the world.
I was driving into my estate and he opened the gate. Gentleman and easygoing. I stopped to ask his name. “My name is Sam” (not real name), he answered. You’re new? “Yes”, he answered again. Welcome! “Thank you Sir”, he replied. Coincidentally, he was the same person who brought the notice to the estate meeting to my house and I received it myself so I probed a bit more. ‘Did you go to school?’; he answered with ‘I am a graduate of XXXX’. 😳 Graduate?????
Where will the money come from?
Ideas, platforms, services and products are being created day-in, day-out. And most people are afraid of launching them or even sharing them because they don’t know how they will be bankrolled or funded. So, if you ask this question, your mind will try to find the possible (at least 3) sources for funding your ideas
Fundamentally, you cannot ACTIVELY serve 1,000 people any given year. In fact, if you look at it critically, you cannot support 200 clients actively in a whole year. When I say ‘active support’, it means ‘marketing them, acquiring them, servicing their needs, and providing maintenance for their requests’.
Because every member of MONEY SPINNERS TRIBE is getting my DISRUPTIVE MARKETING course for free, just like they are entitled to EVERY FINANCIAL AND WEALTH COURSE I design ‘for life’, more people are registering to join the Money Spinners Tribe.
In 2015 a ‘big girl’ in a StanbicIBTC Bank Lagos wanted to hire me as her coach. She had made concerted efforts to get my attention but because I am based in Abuja, we really did not get a convenient arrangement. At some point, I visited Lagos. As at that time, I had not met Stella (our now COO) and Tunde (our last Director of Programmes).
This morning, SOBCA’s Deputy Faculty Director, Shittu Sulaimon, told me “Coach, it is definitely not easy running a business. How do you guys cope?” 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW!
I haven’t been there in a while. Today, I was invited to a business tête-à-tête over a meal of chicken wings, and water (my choice). While the conversations held sway, my focus was on something totally different. THE IMPROVED PROCESS AT THE JUNKYARD ABUJA.
