Reflections from the past year - POST 4/5 (Split into Multiple Posts as I couldn't fit everything) 7. Help others as you don’t know when you could be in their position I literally get a minimum of 1 resume a week from someone I know looking for a job or someone else they know looking for a job. I try to help as much as possible as we, me, you are really privileged. Being brought up in a wealthy family is not the only privilege, being able to go to school, not being in a country that is being bombed daily (eg. Gaza), having a family etc etc. the list goes on. We are SO privileged. HELP someone achieve something, help someone learn something, help someone with an idea, anything you can do in your capacity, do it as the satisfaction you get is the greatest and they might think about how you helped them and say a word of prayer for you. We had a big inflation issue across the entire world last year. Our staff were struggling with rent, grocery bills etc. we did a company wide salary adjustment to account for market rates and ensured that they didn’t have to worry about putting food on the table. When you can, make sure you go out of your way to listen to people. The employees we did a market adjustment for, the company  was operating at a loss but I felt it was our duty and responsibility for the employees and their families. The result was, we had close to a 100% retention rate for the employees last year and we hit one of our record months last month. I think the prayers of the employees plus their increased confidence in the company values and the fact that they knew we would take care of them really had a big impact on this. 8. Travel if you want to I was always a big traveler, I really wanted to get away, explore and see 1 new country every year at least. Last year I traveled to ~16 different Countries… 3 times to Mexico (I just love the all-inclusive get-aways in Mexico, don’t judge) But now I think travel is overrated, I am a bit traveled-out you can say plus with the day to day work, as a business owner, you can’t really be like hey I am on vacation, so I think the care-free travel plus I miss home and my daily routine now more 🙂

These Workmen Finished My Garri.. People of God, we did some renovations in the house recently and I honestly, will not wish the stress on anyone but that's not today's story... On one of the days, I was exhausted with people moving in and out of the house and was trying to push the workmen to hurry. Then I overheard one saying, "Make we go buy garri!" I quickly offered garri and sugar so they wouldn't leave the house. People of God, when I picked up my garri container the next day, it was practically empty. I was shocked 😲! 📌 How Could Only 2 People Have Done This? This is how you may have been shocked by how quickly your salary finished in 2023! You thought you still had money but by the 19th of the month, what was left was barely enough to get you to the end of the month. If this was your experience in 2023, let's switch things in 2024! I have curated 2 programs to help you enter financial freedom: 1️⃣ A FREE COURSE: 7 MONEY MISTAKES EMPLOYEES MUST AVOID 2️⃣ THE 15-DAY SAVEMYSALARY CHALLENGE. this gives you daily access to me for 15 days. Links to both programs are in comments. P.S. What do you spend money on the most?

It’s tempting to think a bigger salary will fix our mindset, health, or relationship problems. But let’s be honest, that’s just being delusional. If unaddressed, our anxieties, insecurities, regrets will come with us…wherever we go and whatever house we live in or car we drive. Not that money doesn’t solve any problems (eg. it can solve money problems). But money can’t buy: 💎 A serene mind 💎 A healthy body 💎 A loving home What does it take to be financially accomplished AND equally successful at quieting our mind, caring for our body and cultivating deep and trusting relationships? What does it take to be wealthy AND whole? If you're curious, come and join us in my free workshop “Your Money AND your Life”, next Tuesday, March 5 (9.30am PST / 18h30 CET).
