"Some women see marriage as an escape from poverty." Coming from a man earning 100k monthly 😭

Materialistic woman>>>>>

This guy attended AMVCA without a media pass and was still able to create good content.

They never do. I've said for years that almost nobody in Nigeria has experienced actual love before, whether male or female. Not from their romantic partners, not from their family, not even from their parents. It's all an unhealthy soup of unprocessed emotions, theatre performance and the worst kind of unbridled capitalism. Nigerian relationships are characterised by a lot of things. Things like Desire. Lust. Dependency. Codependency. Convenience. Need. Force. Love is unfortunately not one of them.

If you people like, keep marrying poor people’s children. Na you go tire!

Worldview shifts are the real transformation. Skills come second. Here’s an experience that taught me that. Chidera came into my program convinced she had a writing problem. She’d been freelancing for eight months. A few small gigs here and there but nothing consistent, nothing that felt like real momentum. Her plan was to get better at writing so clients would take her more seriously. That’s a great plan, but I told her the writing might not be the problem. She didn’t believe me at first. Most people don’t because it’s easier to believe you need more skill than to look at the way you’re thinking about the whole thing. Here’s what her proposals sounded like before: “I’m a skilled content writer who delivers high-quality work on time. I’m passionate about helping businesses grow through engaging content.” It’s technically not wrong. It’s just completely useless to a client sitting there with 60 other proposals in front of them. And every single one says some version of that. Every. Single. One. The real issue was how Chidera thought about what she was selling. She thought she was selling writing. But clients don’t really buy writing. They buy outcomes. They buy solutions to specific problems they’re already frustrated about. They buy the feeling that the person on the other side actually understands their situation. So we changed the worldview first. 👉🏾 What does this client actually need? 👉🏾 What is the real problem underneath the job post? 👉🏾 What specific outcome would make them look good in front of their boss, colleagues or their customers? Once she started thinking that way, the writing followed naturally. At the end of the day, she saw that she didn’t need to get better at writing. She needed to write about different things. Second month after the shift, she was on her third client. One of them even came back the following month with more work. Skills are important, but they’re the last thing. Get the thinking right and the skills you already have are usually enough.

I’ve finally given up on Upwork 😭 I’ve tweaked my profile, revamped it, added portfolios I’ve literally done everything on that app, but I still haven’t gotten a single job. Or is there something I’m still not doing right? 🥲
