FROM THE SPIRIT OF LAGOS HUSTLERS.

From the heart of Lagos they arise
With dreams that stretch across the skies
Their hands are busy, minds are set
Chasing the future without regret
In every corner hope defies.

The streets are paved with sweat and grace
As ambition fuels the frantic pace
They hustle hard through night and day
In every challenge they find a way
Each step a story in this place.

From Oshodi to the Island's side
The spirit of Lagos won’t subside
With strength they rise through every test
In unity they give their best
A city where no dream can hide.

Through the noise and the crowded lanes
Their courage flows like endless rains
They build, they fight, they make their way
In the hustle of life, they proudly stay
Their will unbroken through the chains.

From the spirit of Lagos they stand tall
Resilient, strong, they answer the call
In every struggle they find their might
With grit and passion they light the night
In Lagos, no dream is too small.

STOP CHASING MONEY: Be Of Value.

Money pays the bills
Money gives you better choices
But does it bring happiness
The constitution says
Money is the defense.

Money answereth all things
But What is money?
You hear people saying
I'm chasing money
Chasing money from where to where.

Money is suppose to be chasing you
Not you chasing money
When you get your priorities right
Becoming a person of value
Naturally money comes to you.

Money is just a tool
Do don't waste your time
Chasing money put in effort
To developing yourself
So that money just becomes a by-product.

Take Control of the Future: THE SILVER LINING

This is the best time
When times are bad
Is when the real entrepreneurs emerge
Entrepreneurs don’t really care
If the markets up or down.

They are creating better products and better process
So when somebody says
Oh there’s less opportunity now
It’s because they‘re losers
You’ve heard an awful lot of bad news about the economy.

Ready for good news actually bad news is good news
A recession is the best time to start your own business
When the economy slow down
Entrepreneurialism heats up like a soaked up wood stove
On a cold winter night.

What do the Microsoft and Disney empires
Have in common besides the fact they are both hugely successful
Billion dollar business that have become household name
They were both lunched during a recession
The silver lining.

START SMALL, FINISH BIG

I encourage you to cast big dreams
That will stretch your imagination
And requires you to rely on divine inspiration
To sustain you but you must start
Where you are and use what you have

When our dreams exceed
Our resources and our vision
Transcends our present opportunities
We must remember to start small
Even as we strive towards success

Because starts-up often have few resources
To underwrite the early years
Many entrepreneurs will have to employ
A measured approach to their dreams
It isn’t a lack of faith that makes you start small

It simply the access to capital
And the understanding that you may not
Have the time or necessary resources
To devote your full attention to your dream
Without bankrupting your other responsibilities

You have to start where you are
Modify your strategy to fit your realities
But whatever you do don’t remain dormant
You must use what is in your hands
Start small finish big

This principle reminds me of the way
God instructed Moses when the people
Of Israel were enslaved in Egypt
God told him to start with what he had in his hands
And that was a staff later turn to a snake

A Chinese proverb remind us
That a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step
I would say that a million-dollar empires
Start with the one thing you already do well
The one talent, ability, skill or service that others need

But every journey no matter how big
Starts with one foot in from of the other
The sky may be your limit
But reality is always your runway
If you want to soar you first have to flap your wings.

DON’T START SMALL START PREPARED

Some people are living in fear

Fear of the unknown and uncertain
