“Wisdom is knowing first what to avoid. It’s knowing that almost everything in life is noise” — CTM
Hey there,
Back in 2020 something happened to me that set me on a very different trajectory than I had originally planned.
I'd just come out of 2019, free of a debt of N1.5billion and for the first time in a long time I had real concerns about things like:
- Feeding my family
- School fees
- Utility bills
The fear and anxiety that came with that was pretty real.
To cap it all facebook decided to lock me out of my profile.
Income wise - things were looking pretty grim.
I create a secondary profile and decided I was going to be as helpful as possible.
The idea being to provide world class pure support to as many as needed it and ask to be paid by the critical few who could afford me.
Long story short...
One of the people I supported, partnered with me in promoting my brand acceleration workshop to his group of 8000 at $97 per person.
He brought 400+ people into a facebook group with me and to say thank you, I gave him $77 and kept $27.
I was grateful for the money - $10k meant I didn't have to worry about school fees and other bills for a bit.
But here's where it gets interesting...
On the fifth day of the workshop I gave a presentation for a $5k offer thinking may be 10 or maybe 20 people max would sign up for it and with that money I'd have some space to breathe.
You can imagine my shock when not 20 but 200+ people signed up!
In less than 15months I had cycled through seemingly impossible situations:
- Crossed a ₦1billion naira for the first time in revenue in 2019
- Got into debt ₦1.5billion still in 2019
- Cleared off all debts by the end of 2019 and effectively entered 2020 starting over from ground zero.
- Roughly 5/6months later go from zero to a million dollars in sales
From that moment I've been fascinated by the very idea of making impossible happen - engineering personal and organizational transformations that are borderline miraculous.
Like most things in life - there's structure to this reality.
There are foundational protocols that guide the engineering of quantum leaps in progress...
I haven't mastered it all yet...
And I doubt that I ever will...
But I am committed to mastering it and ultimately remaining a life long student of creating the impossible.
So far...
So good.
Here's something I have learned:
Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.
- George Bernard Shaw
That creation can be completely accidental.
In which case you're simply allowing life's twists and turns to shape you as it wills.
For some of us that works - until it doesn't.
For the vast majority of us - it's a solid formula for a life not worth living.
A better option is that creation is deliberate.
And in this case you are assuming 100% responsibility for the overall direction of your life.
Will you always get what you want when you want it?
Nah.
We don't necessarily live in that reality as people.
But...
The sovereignty of knowing you are actively involved the deliberate creation of a bigger better future for you and yours...
Actively positions you to make the randomness of life work on your behalf.
Each and everyone of us has it in us to create quantum leaps in progress if we just get out of our own way.
If you'd like to work with me to actually support you in making that kind of transformation happen for you in real time....
I'm inviting you to join me in Start The Year Right - The Quantum Leap Experience where we'll focus on getting done in 3 months what you wanted to get done in 12 months.
Registrations for this will be closing on Friday.
