In case you missed @ronaldnzimora 's live session hosted by @thejosephdon ...

I am going to let you in on some deep points you should munch on...

But first, why did you miss it? It was near 2 hours! So, I'm sure you can't expect me to say all. Let's go!

Point 1: Start with...

...what you have. Use what you have. Do what you have to do, until you can do what is possible.

Point 2: The entrepreneurial journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Look at the long term.

Point 3: With sales, you can't lack. Learn Copywriting. Learn how to sell.

Point 4: If...

...you must succeed in life, especially in this country, know that it takes grit.

Point 5: You may have to do the gruesome work, but if it will pay off, do it.

Point 6: Along the journey, you will meet a lot of failures, a little bit of success here and there, but don't stop...

Point 7: For anyone who wants to start a business, @ronaldnzimora 's advice is that You start simple, and scale. Don't wait till it's glamorous.

Point 8: Your first and second businesses may fail. But don't give up. Decide in your heart of hearts that you will get it...

Point 9: It doesn't matter how you start, but how you grow and end.
It amazed me that @ronaldnzimora actually used to live in a house without windows and doors!

He actually drank garri from a clean paint bucket. Yet... Wheew. Let's continue

Point 10: See obstacles as life...

...testing you. And know that life gives everyone a fair chance.

Point 11: Results don't always come as expected. But keep showing up!

Point 12: Use the money you make from business to make more money. Don't be carried away when it looks like you have started making money...

He said before on Twitter that he wants to buy a convertible. He can buy it, but it's not time. Wisdom.

Point 13: Weigh decisions and look at the long term.
He made about 2000$ by letting a "role model" affiliate for him, and give him 20% of his own ebook.

But that was wise.

Point 14: It's not about Passion. Do what gives you money. As you do it and money comes off it, it will become your passion.

You can fund your passion later.

Point 15: Motivate yourself. Think of worst-case scenarios, and motivate yourself. No one will do it for you.

You...

...should rest sometimes, and get the energy to continue.

If it means typing "motivation" in a search engine, do so. You'll see a lot to motivate you.

That's my bit. I thought to share.
Oh, there's a catch for me. It has helped me to remember and solidify what I learnt.

Biko..

When next you see value, go after it.

I told those on my mailing list the same thing two days ago.

Have a wonderful day, today!
