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 💜

@CryptoDefiLord lol, I dey learn from your experiences Chief

I don’t even know who sent me to go do massage. They lied to me about the price and didn’t even tell me about the 20% tip. After I received the billing to sign is when my eyes cleared. That is how I spent $300 total for massage. Never getting close to that spa again.

@CryptoDefiLord Lmaooo Real af

Anytime you believe a memecoin will take you out of the trenches that is when it will mess you up big time.

So I stopped at my former gym today. And this shorty I used to fw was there. Walked over to say “hi” to her, and she be giving me an attitude lowkey. Lmfaooo cause she ain’t all that in the first place. Proper disgusting behavior 🤡

…appreciating wretched women for their beauty. What a guy! 😂♥️

Converting it to dollars and throwing it into REITS… at 12-15% na like 800k per month be that… i can now save from That and start going into stocks and all the rest but atleast bad as e bad food go dey house

Say what you will about @Cbb0fe, he is the best account to follow for a play-by-play on what it’s like to go from having nothing to having built wealth of many many many millions of dollars. Lots of the themes are there: - the motivation decline that can come w wealth. - the “what’s it all for” reflections - friends treating him differently - everyone else acting differently - people trying to leach and the frustration that goes with it - changing the lives of family members Etc etc.

Day 420 ✍️ I have seen some many takes on what to do at $100k & N100m NW. And I’ve been thinking about my life ever since. Not because I want to have those figures. But my magic numbers are way farther than it, and the crazy part is that i believe i can do it. i can do it.

the secret is simple do more do more do more do more than you've ever done do more than you've ever seen do more than you've been told do more than the most do more than the best do more when you're tired do more when you're winning do more- at every chance you get to decide how much you do add a zero to every outcome add a decade to every mission add an army to every battle question what's normal question what's standard question what feels like a lot life is a quiet war of volume that the world never sees one day, one thing changes everything and getting that one thing only takes everything

Just live day by day. It's like driving at night. You only need to see as far as your headlights reach. You don't have to spot your final destination from the start. Keep going with what's lit in front of you, and the rest will come as you move. You're seriously underestimating the universe's ability to surprise you and turn things in your favor. But that only happens if you stop overwhelming yourself by trying to figure out your entire life all at once.

My Top Recommendations (in no particular order) Alexander the Great Julius Caesar Napoleon Hannibal Sun Tzu Ghenghis Khan Subutai Henry V Kublai Khan George S. Patton George Washington Collin Powell Pershing Allenby Hindenburg MacAurthur Montgomery Richard the Lionheart Saladin El Cid Robert the Bruce etc etc Study at least three of your choice (that is, if you can't study all)

@mrkezi_ Rise does vault at 25% lol 😂

This is how we win

My close friend made money from crypto in 2021 bull market, spent close over 100m to build a house, today he is planning to sell, no buyer, they are pricing him 50m. Building a house is one of the worse decision not because it is wrong but because most of those houses doesn't bring Cashflow. If you get into problems, you are left with only selling the house and 90% of the time, you will never get back the money you spent in building the house. Instead of rushing to build a house, start thinking of how do I keep generating Cashflow daily, weekly and monthly. This will sustain you when crypto or forex isn't going so well again. Here are 3 things you can invest in that will bring Cashflow: 1. Treasury bond: this is the best and risk free investment, this is because you are lending your money to the government and they pay you interest quarterly. US treasury bonds pay between 4% to 9% Nigerian treasury bond pay 15% to 22%. 2. Mutual funds: this is where money from many investors is pooled together and managed by professional fund managers. The fund invests this money in assets like: Treasury bond, Stocks, Bonds, and Gold, etc. This is also almost a guaranteed return. You receive 15% to 30%. 3. Dividends: this is the money a company pay you for holding their shares. This comes mostly quarterly. This is risky because while you make money from Dividends, you face the risk of your original investment go down if their stock goes down in price. For this, I will recommend you focus on big companies. There are a few more things you can invest in but I will stop here. I know some of you might be thinking this returns are too small, you rather invest the money in crypto or other assets that will give you bigger yield. Please don't do it, this is the best worse thing to do, I made that mistake in 2024 and I still regret it till date. This is because crypto is volaitle, there's no guarantee, we have seen big coins like FTT, LUNA, UST, MANTRA, etc go down to almost Zero. When you have made huge money from crypto, your plan shouldn't be to double it, it should be to grow it bit by bit, so focus on guaranteed return and not high returns. If you want to learn more, I built a website that could help track different kinds of investment alongside calculate the returns you will likely get in the coming years (compound interest calculator). You can learn more about it in the thread below.

Facts 2 months even 😭

Day 419 ✍️ We all get a fresh start everyday. No game like that of life.
