I bet you've seen all sort and forms of motivation everyday
You see it on Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and even on Snapchat.
Well, that feels just right. But tell me how far did they go in your life?
(Don't answer just yet)
Let me tell you a big secret today and I hope you don't throw this away. This is not some type of one way advice you hear from counsellors, motivational speakers or teachers;
ABOUT LIFE
Live it to the fullest and NEVER think anything is too big to achieve. You hear people say all sort of things like; be careful, take it slow, look careful before....blah blah blah
ABOUT MONEY
Saving up alone can't help you, (am a witness, ask someone close to you too). Learn or do something that will give you extra cash (i am a quantity surveyor, a makeup artist, an hair stylist, a writer, a speaker...yet I want more).
If you're a lady and you're tall and pretty, you can make at least 5k(in Nigeria currency though) every weekend as an ursher at events. all it is going to take is for you to make good enquiries from those doing it already
An average guy or lady can make some extra cash helping out with teaching, taking kids to school, parks, concerts and shows, just for a token(am sure some parents will buy the idea cos you'll relieve them the stress to take their kids to school, park, recreational gardens and parks during weekends and holidays)
Visit Pinterest for beautiful ideas
It is time to stop thinking outside the box, think like there is no box at all
ABOUT GETTING A JOB
There are plenty of jobs out there (Pls don't judge me yet and don't lose me pls, try to follow)
I'll give 3 pointers, start adding more
1. I used an herbal soap that cleared out my dark spots and knuckles in 30 days (didn't even STICK to the morning and night routine). I went to this girlfriend of mine that usually complain about her face and sold the soap with an addition of 1k (sorry Vic, cos you'll realise the price is been raised by me, THAT'S BIZ MY DEAR) have sold more than 25 since early June and I don't even leave my house...
2. Cost of a normal drawing book is #50. Damn! Got mine for #5 back in the days. Now buy a park of A4 paper, get some fancy covers (Only cost #200 for 6 I guess), get water colour @ #500 if am correct. Get beautiful cover template from the internet and make just 3. Attach 1 cover to 20 sheets of A4 paper(make use of gum for cheap and easy hold). EVERYTHING USED IS UNDER 4k. Take it to any big primary school and tell them you'll like to see the headmaster or headmistress. (*Show your samples and tell them you'll supply the school at the rate of #500 (this price should be okay in Lagos and some parts in ibadan), let them know that you're giving the headmaster or headmistress #100 on each as your own way of giving back to the school. Go to 15 schools) Pls tell me my idea is lame... I'll be a realist on this one...
A pack of A4 paper has 500 sheets in it.
500/20= 25 drawing books. Let's assume that the number of children in each school (Don't judge me I called myself a realist in this situation)
25 drawing books * 500 = #12500
#100 * 25 for the heads = #2500
Let's say 5 school are crazy enough to buy your idea, that's #10000 * 5 schools = 50000
Let's imagine you're one lucky chap and all 15 schools bought your not so funny not so serious idea
10000 * 15 schools = #150000.
Your materials cost should be around #45000 - #50000.
Profit #100000.
Pls let me know if am day dreaming....this are ideas that has been tested and proven to work)
3. Come in here if you have so many female friends (every talent are great gifts if you know how to use them)
Let me show you or rather let me open your eyes to what you're not taking notes of; have you seen makeup on most of your friends? They are not so good, look at good makeup on Instagram and you'll realise your girls been drawing brackets on her face and not brows.
Why don't you take few weeks lesson in makeup artistry?
When you're good, start teaching your home girls how to do their makeup effortlessly at easy charges (let them know you're charging low cos they are friends), give it some time they will bring in more customers for you. And you don't have to own a shop to do this cos, there is option of running home service, freelancing etc.
Fine boy wake up.
