This is what an underachiever don't know about


I'm tired woman!

I’m tired man!

I’m tired everyone!

If you look at my side you’ll find people that are better than me.

If you see the people in front of me, they are not as good as me.

Do you know that this category of people that are better than me inspires me but not much as the people that I am better than?

I have learned from both of them over the years. And I’ve come to realize that
knowledge is merely a key to the door of success but doesn't bring it to you. Its important function is merely to open the door or gate of opportunity for anyone who dares to go further. Those that move ahead are called the doers.

The doers are the ones that said I am better than but it’s in theory. And this is the set of people that I have learned greatly from. They are people who do what they want without first looking for a master plan. In fact they don’t wait for the plane of master plan to land before they go for their dreams. They know they don’t have all the analysis and researches like those who know better than them. They swing into actions putting in more efforts in making their dreams come true. They are consistent with their pursuits in achieving their dreams.

This same people has taught me that it’s better to act now and fail and keep moving that not to act and keeping pointing fingers at the doers which I also like to call practitioners, in the sense of practicing and not theorizing. They act more from their hearts.
They are not afraid to put their works out there for criticism, because such makes them work harder.

However some of these principles have been absolutely useful for me in many ways.

I have started some business ideas with no perfect knowledge of how to run the whole business, yet it made millions of naira without going to business school.

But frankly speaking these initiatives have also lead to great falls leading me back to square one. I have failed like nothing to show for it except experience and the spirit to start afresh. Each time I fall, I mean big fall I pick myself back up knowing that I can do better next time.

My first crash was after a business idea of selling mobile phones over a decade ago. It was then I realize the business can fetch you money in just a month that a salary earner cannot make in twenty four months. The beautiful part of this business is that I only started it with just one mobile phone.

You may want to know how I did that.

Don't worry I'll talk about that another time.

However, one of the biggest lesson that I've learnt is just do it.

Do it now, or later.

It's up to you!

Live more.
Love more.
Serve more.
