𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 1. You're afraid of writing that post 2. You think you're not good enough. 3. You're scared of replying in the comments. 4. You don't want to be called a FRAUD. Well, spoiler alert ⚠ ↓ I was afraid too, but I slayed my fears and I got the WIN. Here's my story... ___________________ It was a cold Friday night, 11:32 pm. I was sipping my white coffee when I saw the post on X. I almost spilled the coffee, as I cursed out loudly... Holy sh*ttt! It was a $10,000 video contest, 10 f*cking grand! One winner, winner takes it all. Is this my big break? I called my buddy/videographer, King Anyi, and shouted excited over the phone... "𝙔𝙤, 𝙗𝙧𝙤... 𝙒𝙚'𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧". But he said he wasn't in town, and would recommend someone else to me. I didn't want someone else, I wanted someone who will sacrifice skin in the game, I wanted King Anyi, so... I gave up on the whole idea, I was afraid I couldn't pull off creating a great content with Anyi not being in town. Don't stop reading ↓↓ ___________________ Then on Sunday, after the preacher's sermon, I grabbed my fears by the balls. I called Anyi 📱, took the recommendation, and set up a new plan to create a $10k winning content. - I had 5 days to do this. - I had a $150 budget. - I had a team of 5. - I was anxious. But here is what we did ↓ • I wrote the scripts and did my facials on Monday. • I went to the saloon to do a box braid with Brazillian wool on Tuesday. • Rehearsed and spent the whole of Wednesday shooting the video with my team. • Sent the video files 📂 interstate to Anyi on Thursday, to edit (5+ hours drive). • Got the deliverable video file 12:00pm on Friday from Anyi, and submitted before the 05:00pm deadline. It was a "fast and furious" kind of production. I felt like Vin Diesel and a bit of Dwayne Johnson! Did we win? Read on to find out ↓ ___________________ I had just got back home from watching the games with my brothers on Saturday. I had pasta cooking on the stove when I saw the announcement post. The results were out. I LOST. I f*cking lost. I gave this my all. → Time. → Money. → Sleepless nights. And I FAILED. The next two days were hell. I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. I felt I wasn't good enough. I felt like a fraud. So I picked up my writing pad and went back to creating content (My 9 to 5). Then it happened ↓ ___________________ Another opportunity to win $2000 grand prize from @SamuelXeus's contest. I had my doubts and bias, and remember... I had crushed my fears earlier by the balls and it punched me in the face, so... → What do I have to lose now 🤷‍♀️? I wrote the thread, as creatively as I could, and attached my video to it (My pinned post). I submitted alongside 500+ other participants. I didn't think I could win, at least not the $2k grand prize. Guess what??? ___________________ I WON! (I'm tearing up right now 🤧). I f*cking won the grand PRIZE. I cried, I laughed, I cried again. It still feels surreal. An underdog. This was not the end ↓↓ ___________________ 2 hours later, I won the grand prize of another writing contest. Currently in collaboration with top Web3 projects, creating content. There's more to say, but... I want to stop the tears from pouring out... lol 😂 ☺. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽. Grab your fears by the balls. Do that thing, what's the worst that could happen? Instead of thinking → what if I don't win? Think → what if I win? Yeah, you might not win, but... Just keep showing up, eventually you will win. My big win is coming, your big win is coming. And I believe this with all my being. You've got this Champ! PS: Grabbing my fears by the balls, I will be hosting my first 𝕏 space this Friday. Turn on 🔔! Repost & Bookmark. 📸 credit: @AunySillyMe 💜

One day we will talk about the shawties that say they want any romantic overtures. Next thing, you want us to be besties knowing fully fucking well that I’m into you. I swear, their best color is 5. Nothing will convince me otherwise.

we underestimate how good it feels to not have to KYC crypto’s biggest moat

Nobody tells you how money actually changes your life $1k - Survival mode starts to lift. You can handle a flat tyre, a bad month, an unexpected bill without it destroying everything. That alone changes how you think and make decisions. $10k - For the first time you have a choice. Stay or leave. Take the risk or don’t. Money isn’t wealth yet but it’s the first time it gives you actual options. $100k - Reality hits. Tax takes a third, cost of living takes more. You realise saving alone won’t build wealth. This is where people either learn to invest or stay stuck on the hamster wheel for years. $500k - The goalpost moves. You start thinking about how to protect it not just grow it. A market drop that would’ve meant nothing before now keeps you up at night. $1M - Less changes than you expected. The number is real but the day to day is almost identical. What does change is how seriously people take you in rooms that matter. $5M - Decisions get quieter. You stop explaining yourself. You don’t negotiate on things that cost you time or peace. Not because you’re above it but because you can finally afford not to. $10M - You stop worrying about money and start worrying about what to do with it. Where to put it, how to structure it, who to trust with it. A whole new set of problems you were never warned about. $100M - Money stops being something you manage and becomes something that runs in the background. You have a team for that. What you actually spend your time on is decisions, access, and legacy. The lifestyle barely changes from $10M. The power does. $1B - It becomes institutional. Governments, banks, and CEOs come to you. You don’t see bills, you don’t take meetings you didn’t request, and you don’t go anywhere without it being arranged in advance. At this level money isn’t personal anymore. It’s structural. Every level solves the last problem and hands you a new one. That never stops.

Yes boss, if you didn’t plan it, don’t buy it. 10k here, 30k there, before you know it you don blow 100k From 100k to 500k to 1m Before you know it, you don turn old taker

@_9figures Can’t complain king. In all, God is good. Blessings brother.

Hope ya staying blessed big bro? Got real love for you always 🤝

This is the quietest Saturday night I’ve had in a long time. ignoring calls + seeing a series on TV + eating 🍕 + ignoring DMs. Oh, did I forget to mention that shorty next door asked to come over for PS5 and talks… I said, “Uhmm no thank you, I’m okie” Fvck everybody. I just wanna lie here on my couch and watch this series and laugh at funny scenes until I doze off. Talmabout three girls feeling bored and calling me on a Saturday night… hell no. Fvck ‘em bro!

No way I watched two men thug it out sensibly and with respect. Now flip the coin to the ladies, ss go full everywhere. No offense btw

First time I’m seeing the word “can’t” on Lamarr’s post 💀😭

Day 362 ✍️ I will always win… even when I’m not sure how. Forever taker.

Finally got my pizza and seeing “Supernatural” for the first time. Good watch or not, chat?

@grundydx Excited to hear about your progress Ser. Good to have you back, let’s do great things 🙏

@_9figures Good to be back sir and good to see you thriving. Moved from dydx to okx. Wanted to take my time before coming back on x.

Dispatch

Q1 almost done, fight for your life and your bag$ before the end of Q4.

“Can we fvck?” This direct ass question will always deliver a cultural shock. Lwdymcwf? Just like that? I can’t even say “no” cause you deserve it for the guts, courage and whatever-in-the-hell drugs that got you to be so direct. Lmaoooo 😭😭😭😂😂😂

Just got off the call with one more “guy”. Can’t believe I had to work for both my money and the pizza 😭

Did I forget to mention that the pizzeria is like three minutes away from my place? Like nigha, just throw that box and it will land on me doorsteps fgs 🤧

@Peequliarr Come be like say I dey grind for limited WL 😭

@_9figures The struggle 😭

To order pizza in my town requires some serious connections. I have to call a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that knows the ex-manger that knows the current manager of the pizzeria. Jesus fvcking Anthony Christ!
