Passion & business.

Does Zuckerberg have a passion for connecting people?

Does Bezos love books?

Is Dangote passionate about cement, sugar, and oil?

Is passion a prerequisite for entrepreneurship?
I don't know anyone who loves cement.

Zuckerberg is an introvert/nerd. He can't connect people in real life to save his life.

Bezos is an electrical engineer. He is not a book lover.

The requirement is a love for customers and value creation.

Passion is not required.
On the flip side, I am passionate about finance; helping people move out of poverty; and helping people grow their investments.

That passion drives me and my business, @Overwoodng

But I have built other businesses in profitable industries where I have absolutely zero passion.

If I were starting out today with no income and low job prospects, I would:

1. Move to a rural area.
2. Learn to farm.
3. Leverage my relationship to a significant tract of land.
4. Try to build an agric business.

I don't know why more people don't consider this path.
I know 2 people who did it and have built huge businesses.

They are both in their early 30s. She is a comp sci grad based in Egbeda. He is in Ogbomoso.

Their businesses are each worth more than N200m.

It’s not a fantasy. Some smart young people are already doing it.
I can get the two of them to do a Zoom training session for those who are interested.

Send me a dm to signify your interest.

Stock trading is NOT a game.

A young man recently committed suicide after losing $700k.

Platform owners are now buying bulletproof cars/windows because people who lost money are trying to kill them.

Be careful guys. Just buy an index or mutual fund.

Robinhood's gamelike interface and relative lack of educational features that are prominent on older platforms, mean there's real risk of MASSIVE losses for the platform's traders, who are about 31 years old on average.
I strongly believe that the goal of every investment is the return of capital NOT return on investment.

Let me reiterate: RETURN OF CAPITAL is more important than RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

Stock trading without proper training guarantees that your capital won't return. Be careful.

5 things I wish I knew in my 20s:

1. Hard work always pays.
2. Treat people well regardless of their status.
3. Don't be afraid to take risks.
4. Most fights never yield dividends. Walk away.
5. Money comes via strategic work: not hard work alone, and definitely not by prayers.
Let's clarify point 5:

Prayer turns hearts away from dross towards the divine and meets needs.

But faith is not a business model.

The idea that faith/giving leads to wealth is a 20th-century mindset that is inaccurate.

Faith is important. But it's not a business model.
Point 5 again:

1. Develop a strategic plan for your life.
2. Work hard as if you will never pray.
3. Then pray.

I know people who just pray, fast, give to church, and have faith for "prosperity".

They are still praying, fasting, and sowing "seeds" in penury 20 years later.
