Dear ,

I realize I’ve been out of touch for almost two weeks—please accept my apologies for the radio silence.

To be completely transparent, I was fighting for my life.

I just wrapped up a high-stakes photography contract with an embassy, and the pressure was intense.

While the NDA prevents me from sharing all the details, I do have some invaluable insights I can share with you.

, In our last conversation,

I introduced what I call the Three Horsemen, and while it appeared like a death announcement or some sort of haunting title, it actually isn't, and I spoke about how they are three things one must conquer if anyone is to conquer/achieve those goals they wrote in that journal at the beginning of the year.

(abi you don leave goals for who get am?)

Despite the ominous nickname, these aren’t harbingers of doom; they’re the foundational pillars you must master to achieve the goals you set at the beginning of the year.

1. Mindset—Cultivating a resilient, growth-oriented perspective that transforms obstacles into opportunities.
2. Knowledge & Clarity—Gaining the right information and crystal‑clear focus to make strategic decisions.
3. Consistency—Delivering reliable, repeatable performance that builds momentum and trust.

On this recent project—from initial consultation through execution to final delivery—I saw all three Horsemen in action. Each one tested me, but ultimately they propelled the shoot to success and expansion of my creative boundaries.

How important are these three elements to your own journey?

• How do they intersect in your daily workflow?
• What strategies can you implement right now to strengthen each pillar?
• 
  

Well, I'm set to hold a conversation with members of the WhatsApp community this weekend.

(if you like don't join.)  

As a valued member of The Creatives Community, I’d love for you to join us.

If you’re interested, simply reply with:

“I’m In”

…and I'll forward the deets

(laughs in Gen Z slang).

Looking forward to a powerful conversation.

Warm regards,

Okedeji Omoteso

P.S. Is it just me, or has the sun been on a mission to evaporate us all these past few days?
