MY CHEAT DAYS (Don’t swipe if you can’t handle it) This isn’t about dieting or stuff. I’m not cut out for that life? yet. But just as you cheat with meals; I have cheat days for my finances. And here’s why. Our parents were most times concerned about long term investments, and we grew up hearing this term “I can’t afford it”. Yet, we had all our essential needs met...somehow. In a bid to change that narrative, we want the good life, and get everything as soon as we can afford (just because we can). In order not be caught in either of the extremes, I had to bring a balance in my long and short term investments with my cheat days. It is first a reward for a goal set and smashed. And then, it is a motivation to want more and do more. However, if I do not have assets at least 10 times over the expense my cheat days would be, I don’t ever dare. Finally, find someone to cheat with if you can. It makes cheating so much better? Do you have cheat days with your finances or every single day is a cheat day?? How best do you bring balance with your expenditure and building assets? Share with me in the comment section below. P.S: the third slide is a blessing from @thistarokgirl Some people are worth so much more than money ❤️
Guys!! Here is my first post feature by @youresteemgirl I posted this picture on my stories, and asked for a beautiful caption. Here’s what she came up with? When I first saw this picture on your stories, it took me time to find a suitable title for it. After much thinking, I settled for A GLIMPSE OF YOURSELF. At that time, I was feeling a whole lot of emotions rushing through me and making me feel less of myself. When I saw the picture, it registers an image of the future self and the present self meeting at the junction of your process. When you look at the image, Science will tell you that it's called enantiomers meaning that the when an object is reflected on a mirror, it is the opposite you will see, the left becomes the right and the right becomes the left. It happens with all parts of your body when you are facing the mirror. Everything becomes the opposite. But it is way more than that. If you look at it critically, it is a connection of where you want to go and where you want to be vs where are you currently. And to get to that place, you need to learn, unlearn and relearn a lot of things. Because it is a journey. A glimpse of yourself is a ray of hope to let you know that even if you're not close to where you are supposed to be, you're no longer where you are. A glimpse of yourself is a call for you to take a look at yourself and celebrate your uniqueness and awesomeness because there is none like you. A glimpse of yourself is a notion for you not to be hard on yourself but to actually value the process of whatever you are going through. Make sure you learn valuable lessons. P.S: What do you all think? I think it’s quite profound. Comment with your favorite line...I’ll go first ?? PPS: Would you also like to be featured? Comment with a “yes”, and do well to always check my stories?
So background story. I had shot this video like 7 times before I finally got one I could use. After the sweet make over I did just for you. And maybe it’s the spirit of this video. I just had to forgo looking sweatlessly peng for you to hear this. I think it was worth it. #gracechristos #paidwriter #mondaymotivation #tmctribe #wearenigeriancreatives #nigeriancontentcreator #abujacreatives #freelancertips #lifechoices #lagoscreatives #tribecalledena #instaboosteracademy #jooget #writingcommunity #everythingnaart
And while this isn’t your typical sales strategies kinda thing, this helps you build holistic and more balanced view about yourself, intrinsic values and proposition. Then it goes further to give you all the necessary skill and knowledge you would need to profit from it. That way, you don’t just learn how to make money, you learn how to KEEP making it. My favorite question these days has been...is it a worthy bargain? I think it is, what say you? Click the link in my BIO.

There are generally two kinds of people you’d meet in your purpose journey. 1. People who have time, a lot of time. But with limited resources. 2. People with limited time and abundant resources. Let the people who have time work for you, and you bless them with your resources. Work for the people who have limited time, and charge them for yours. Let no man say they have nothing to give. It’s almost impossible. #gracechristos #paidwriter #tmctribe #wearenigeriancreatives #nigeriancontentcreator #lagoscreatives #everythingnaart #writingcommunity #salesjourney #buildingabusiness #freelancewriters #freelancertips #tribecalledena #jooget #creativesconnect #instaboosteracademy #batribe #enatribe #entreprenuermind
I had to prove a point. To myself. I am in the middle of a launch, and then, I remembered a story my father told me, one time. He was about to start a church. And he had put all things in place. He knew God would have him start that church. Everything seemed right. But he wanted to check again. Check to see if his motives were right. His intentions were pure. So he asked God one more time. Is this you? Or just my ambition? If you say it isn’t right now, and I have any iota of doubt, I’ll suspend everything and not open the church. He was reassured. So, I needed to be reassured. P.S: How does my new bio look? Check now? I had a target! I was going sell out 10 slots of my course, without a testimonial. Without a flier or any publicity material. If I was going to teach people how to make their first 500k, it had to be no fluke. I DID IT! And now, because of my reassurance, I can boldly tell you to ask for a refund if you do not get your money’s worth, after implementing the things you will learn in the course of this training. I have faith in you. Do you believe in yourself enough to?

There’s always going to be a FIRST! There will be that first time you’ll get on a plane. There will be a first time you’ll be asked out. There will be a first client. There will be a first major job/pay. There will be a first failure. There will be a first everything!! But most times, no one knows it is your first time. It’s just you. So OWN IT! Start by preparing for all the opportunities you seek to come to your way. Because... Not all your firsts will suck. Even your first time can be a major WIN. Prepare!! #gracechristos #paidwriter #tmctribe #wearenigeriancreatives #nigeriancontentcreator #lagoscreatives #contentmarketer #tuesdaymotivation #everythingnaart #tribecalledena #instaboosteracademy #jooget #freelancertips #contentstrategist #contentwritingservices #creativesconnect #diaryofacreative
