Daily advice to myself:
Avoid people and things you cannot afford. Not everyone is your wage mate.

People have this tendency to be consistent with their actions, know what to expect from the people you deal with in all aspects of your life. Respond accordingly, the goal is to be respectful and accommodating.
2019 was a good year for SL entertainment. Hopefully we build on this and be AGGRESSIVELY professional to achieve more. This "main-man" business will take you nowhere. Learning this the hard way.
In a funny way, the main lesson I take from FPL and apply to life is patience and consistency. It's not over till it's over. The ups and downs are part of the journey, embrace it. Red or Green arrows, keep your head down and trod on.
Salone, Freetown especially is too damn small to be seriously beefing with anyone. If it's not healthy competition then dead the whole thing. Also, learn from each other.
Podcasts, articles and YouTube videos are how I've educated myself on lots of things lol and I intend to find more ways using the world wide web to do so.
There's so much we lose by waiting to for things happen to us, create your own luck. No one owes you anything. As long as you operate within legal and moral limits then go out on scavenger mode, this docile behaviour sets you up sometimes.
Some family members can be annoying but 🤷🏿♂️, I guess we learn to live with them regardless. Maybe they're teaching us lessons for the world at large.
STAY GROUNDED IN REALITY but try as best as possible to explain things to yourself in a positive light, don't be delusional but look at the silver lining in every scenario.
Read on emotional intelligence.
Nowadays I'm more inspired by my peers I, we don't keep in touch 24/7 but there's a few things I admire from quite a number of people (most unaware) that I try to emulate, agreed some of the things you lot do are disgusting but God will judge you lool.
I consider myself a long distance runner, you will beat me at sprints but I will tire you out in long races. I'm usually a slow starter but I pick myself up afterwards, I apply this to life because I know what works for me.
I've NEVER at any point in my life been the most brilliant at anything I've done, I know a little bit of things here and there and employ an eclectic approach to life. I may know a lot of things because I've surrounded myself with people (alcoholics) who know a lot of things.
Rahim's death will forever haunt me but will continually shape the man I become. 9/9/17 taught me things happen for a reason. I wish a lot of things would be different but you deal with the hand you're dealt.
I struggle with trying not to overpackage and almost always end up selling myself short. Anyone who's mastered selling your brand effectively but modestly and not looking shameless while you're at it please teach me MASTER.
Enjoy your own company
Go gym. Let's all work hard to be successful in our fields but make sure we're healthy enough to enjoy the fruits of our labour when we get older. Imagine living in a penthouse suite and not being able to climb the stairs in case of an emergency. Shameless
Do the people/things you love.
Don't use this as an excuse to hoe around plis.

Not everyone will pay attention to what you do and that's okay. My Mum hasn't listened to more than 2 episodes of @Plasas_Poyo and that's ok. Stop expecting everyone to Love what you do. All man busy. Be extremely grateful to anyone who does pay attention and supports you.
"Play long term games with long term people" - @naval
No matter how peng, rich or smooth you are, not everyone will want you. In fact some will dislike you for it, embrace the idea of rejection and move on.
Shame he didn't do enough promo but Shazzii dropped a fire tape please listen: audiomack.com/album/shazzii/…
Limit the risk of bad things happening to you, think inversely.
Imagine the worst and try finding ways to avoid whatever that might be in every situation you find yourself.

Big up the people doing amazing things you love shamelessly, they need not be your friend/family. What's good can't be hidden.
Do everything modestly, don't burn out.
If you don't read often look at YouTube book summaries and then find a book you can read.
Never let pop culture pressure you into doing something you haven't found the resources to expel doing such. Still haven't read Harry Potter, I'm not special, I just don't care.
Lol, get a plug for things you want within the city and save yourself the time searching for them. Hunt for bargains always.
Anyone who's mastered personal finance on a beggar's salary plis locate me. x
The ideas that hurt us the most are those we passed up on doing and see other people executing (esp when done badly). One life to live, take your risks.
If Social media clout doesn't add a dime to your account, spend less time living in your head about your follower count etc. Changes nothing. We're all still the same broke.
@idriselba @iamSMADE and @Siakaborn2ball should seriously consider setting up an Afronation event in the country with the best beaches on earth. Pls link me up when plans commence, I'd love to learn a thing or two from you all.
Salone creatives do better research, get better Management, protect your craft, improve on your craft, be deliberate about your actions. Guess work can only take you that far.
Anyway, "it's been real" enjoy the start of a new decade and be better living organisms, there's always room for improvement. Make the most of 2020.
Peace,
MGM.
