Last week, an architect came to me with a need. She said she is not permitted to market her profession (based on ethics of architecture) but she wishes she can merge her work with human capital development. So she needed a strategy because she was experiencing sickness and depression from just being on her job.

I walked into a barbershop somewhere in Wuse 2 to have a haircut. And it’s also a Spa. While he was doing his thing, he noticed dandruff on a side of my head and asked if I wanted to wash. I said it was fine. After a few minutes, he asked if the fat on my nose should be scrubbed and cleaned. I didn’t answer.

Around my estate, there is a UBA ATM Machine. It has been there since I moved into this estate 2 years ago. If my guesses are right, most times than not, the 2 ATMs are always OUT OF SERVICE or TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO DISPENSE CASH. This was the norm. It got to a point when I really did not bother checking the machine anymore.

Okay, so I know I am about to generalize; yea? But personally, I feel that every adult male has heard the statement (or something like it) “Babe, we need to talk” …. that later ends in “I missed my period”. 😱 😱 😱 😟 😟 😟 😦 😦 😦

I cannot say this enough. No matter how much you pay for coaching, your coach is not responsible for the actions you must take to get your outcomes. Many people say ‘my coach is not helping me.’, ‘my coach just left me alone to do this’, ‘my coach this, my coach that’. Well, good or bad news: YOUR COACH HAS NO BUSINESS DOING YOUR TASKS FOR YOU.

Last week, I spoke at a visioning session of a financial instruments company. While they were negotiating my time, they had given me options of payment in cash (a heavy sum 😉) or payment in a financial instrument. I licked my lips. It sounded nice. I chose financial instruments, a type of cryptocurrency, to be specific.
