I’m a curious generalist who loves solving complex problems, challenging the status quo, and building solutions that help people and organizations grow. I’ve always been drawn to work that connects strategy with people. My current focus is building AI tools, systems and partnerships to help businesses achieve their goals. 

As Founder of Anutio, I help organizations achieve bottom-line revenue by mapping business goals to employees' career development needs. Anutio helps organizations visually see, understand, and grow their people by mapping skills to business capability needs, uncovering internal talent, and connecting employees to meaningful growth opportunities —  making career development planning and allocation of training budget more measurable, tangible, transparent, and human.

I truly enjoy turning abstract ideas into practical outcomes, working closely with teams to translate insights into real solutions that make a difference.

Ehi Agbonlahor 

20 years ago, I was focused only 
on getting my agriculture degree.							
							
I thought success meant following 
the traditional career path.							
							
But here's what I wish I knew then:							
							
✅ Exposure is everything. 
While I was hiding behind textbooks, 
opportunities were passing me by.							
							
✅ Social connections matter. 
My shy, introverted self missed countless
chances to build meaningful relationships.							
							
✅ Diverse experiences shape us. 
Staying in my agriculture space 
limited my perspective.							
							
I remember thinking:	 

📌Will exploring other paths waste my time?	
 📌What if I lose focus on my studies?							
📌Am I risking my future?							
							
But now I understand:	
						
✓ Growth happens outside your 
comfort zone							
✓ Skills come from varied experiences							
✓ Networks build unexpected
 opportunities							
✓ Exposure creates opportunities 
to apply the knowledge from school							
							
The truth is, I was trapped in 
my own limiting beliefs.		
					
And the story we've been told 
about what the path to a 
successful career looks like. 
							
Heads-down study hard. 
And after that find a job to 
apply what you studied. 							
							
Looking back, I wouldn't change my agriculture background - but I would change how I approached those years.							
							
The lesson? 
🔹Don't wait to explore. 
🔹Don't hide from connections. 
🔹Don't limit yourself to one path.							
							
Your early career years
are meant for discovery. 
Embrace the uncertainty. 
Learn from every experience.							
							
P. S: Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone? The opportunities are waiting.

9 top networking tips to use in your daily life

Most people still think networking 
means showing up at an event, 
smiling awkwardly, and collecting 
business cards you’ll never use.

Let me show you a better way.

Real networking is what you 
do daily not occasionally.

It’s not a one-time pitch. 
It’s a relationship strategy.

Here are 9 practical ways to network better, 
even if you’re introverted or hate small talk:

1. 🌟Speak up in meetings. 
At work. At School. 
Any Group you find yourself.
It’s visibility in action. 
People can’t connect with who they don’t notice.

2. 🌟Ask intentional questions 
At webinars or live events.
Make yourself memorable by 
engaging with the speaker or host.

3. 🌟Comment meaningfully on LinkedIn.
No “great post” comments. 
Add insights or reflections 
that show your thinking.

4. 🌟Offer help without being asked.
People remember who added 
value especially when there 
was no transaction attached.

5. 🌟Keep a gratitude + value list.
Each week, reach out to 
someone to thank them or share 
something valuable with them.

6. 🌟Build bridges across departments.
Don’t just network within your team. Cross-functional relationships 
matter more than you think.

7. 🌟Introduce people to each other.
Position yourself as a connector
Not just a collector.

8. 🌟Follow up without asking for anything. "Hey, I remembered something 
you said last month, thought 
this resource might help.” 

That’s how trust is built.

9. 🌟Be the kind of person 
people want to talk to.
Kind, curious, and clear. 
It’s not just what you say, 
It’s how you say it.

Networking is intentional effort built over time.

And if you learn to treat every day 
like an opportunity to connect, 
you’ll never be without opportunities.

Most professionals are distracted by things that don’t even matter.

The job market is noisy. 
And many smart people fall 
into the trap of chasing:

🔹 Fancy job titles
🔹 Endless certifications
🔹 Generic “how to get hired” advice

Meanwhile, what actually matters is ignored:

✔️ Your positioning
✔️ Your brand
✔️ Your strategy
✔️ Your skillset
✔️ Who you know and who knows you

I say this because I’ve been there.

When I shifted my focus to what
truly mattered, everything changed for me.

Check yourself today, 
are you chasing things that 
will really move you forward?

What is the worst that could happen?

Many times when I am 
presented with opportunities

And what feels right to me is not 
what makes sense to everyone else,

I find that I am tempted to listen 
to everyone else but myself.

When I am in this headspace, 
faced with the choice of betting 
on myself versus going with the 
bandwagon, 
I ask myself this question:

✔️ What is the worst that could happen?

 I list out:
⏺ all the possible outcomes of my choice
⏺ the impact/implication of each outcome
⏺ if, how and what I might be able 
to do to cushion the effect. 

I call it the worst case scenario analysis (WCSA).

🔹It helps remove the mental block 
🔹And creates an emotional reserve 
for any of the outcomes including 
those I did not foresee. 

It puts me in a mindset to be ready 
to adapt as needed. 

So far, it has worked for me.

The purpose of this worst-case 
scenario analysis for me is not to 
determine whether or not I should proceed.

But 
⭕ When and how I should proceed.
⭕ How much damage a possible fail might be, 
⭕ How much emotional reserve and 
maybe material armour I need, 
to cushion the effect.

Because over the years, I have seen the pattern:
Betting on myself always paid off. 

Even when it seemed like a fail, 
there was always an upside.
 
So whenever I'm at the WCSA phase, 
it means I'm going to do it. 

If you are ever in doubt whether 
to bet on yourself or not.
And you like to work with data 
and logic more than emotions.

📌 Try the WCSA.

From experience, I would always 
choose to bet on yourself.

Fancy degrees do not equal great employees.				
 
Every manager knows this truth.				
 
Hiring is not a guessing game. 
It's about finding the right fit.				
 
Experience:				
✅ Skills and knowledge matter 
more than a shiny diploma.				
✅ Real-world experience shows how 
a person handles tasks and challenges.				
 
Character:				
✅ Traits like reliability 
and teamwork are key.				
✅ A strong work ethic 
beats a fancy title any day.				
 
Potential:				
✅ Look for candidates 
who can grow and adapt.				
✅ A willingness to learn is more 
valuable than past accolades.				
 
Hiring should focus on what truly matters.				
 
Degrees can impress, but 
they don't guarantee success.				
 

📌 Remember: 
Great employees are made, not born.

Nearly all career problems can be 
solved with personal branding

🔹Career stagnation.
🔹Lack of clarity. 
🔹Constant rejection.

Many professionals face these 
problems and look for external solutions. 

More degrees, random applications, 
or a career transition.

But here’s the truth:

Most career problems are actually 
branding problems.

When people don’t know:

▶️ What you stand for
▶️ How you add value
▶️ What makes you different

They’ll overlook you even if you're qualified.

These 3 items need to be clear in all your
conversations including your resumes,
interviews, speaking engagements 
and networking chats.

Your personal brand is your career currency.

It opens doors, builds trust, 
and positions you for opportunities 
you never knew existed

Are you intentionally building your personal brand? 
Or are you letting the job market define you?

5 Harsh Truths No One Tells You 
About Career Transitioning.

Making a career transition is exciting, 
but it’s not all fun. 

Here's what you need to know 
before making a leap. 

1️⃣ You might be ignored.

Recruiters won’t call. 
Applications will disappear into 
thin air and it's not personal, 
it's just how the game works.

➡️ Create your own opportunities 
to fast-track your success.

2️⃣ Your experience isn’t enough.

A decade of experience or a fancy 
resume won’t automatically open doors.

➡️ Build a portfolio of results, 
case studies, personal projects, 
or testimonials that show real impact. 

3️⃣ Some people will doubt you.

Friends, family, even mentors may 
question your decision especially 
when your job is stable.

➡️ Stay focused, find a support system, 
and let your results speak for you.

4️⃣ You might not make money at the start.

Shifting careers often means 
taking a step back. 
Less pay, fewer opportunities, and 
moments of doubt.

➡️ But here’s the thing: short-term 
losses can lead to long-term wins. 
Think like an investor; sacrifice now 
to build something bigger later.

5️⃣ Action beats planning.

No amount of planning can replace execution.

➡️ Too many people ‘research’ career 
moves for years. 
Winners take the first step, adapt, 
and figure it out along the way.

Your resume is not the place 
to be humble about your 
career achievements.

Here are 12 tips to make 
your resume standout

✅ Summary paragraph should not 
exceed 3-4 lines.
     ↳ You could use bullets here to 
make it skimmable.
     ↳ Show your years of experience here
     ↳ Show one or two key impressive 
career achievements here

✅ Focus on your most 
relevant experience for the job

✅ Use bullet points for each experience.

✅ Each experience should not 
have more than 3-5 bullet points.

✅ Showcase your achievements 
NOT a list of responsibilities.

✅ Draw attention with 
numbers and percentages.

✅ Each bullet point 
should not exceed 1-2 lines.

✅ Ensure the core tools/requirements 
for the role are captured.

✅ Make your resume skimmable: 
     ↳ Leave white space. 
     ↳ Leave margin space. 
     ↳ Use legible and consistent font.
     ↳ Use simple language and short sentences.

✅ Use industry keywords from 
job description to catch recruiter’s eye.

✅ Skip details like age, marital status, 
and other personal information etc

✅ Make your name and contact 
information easy to find at the top.

I discovered this hard truth 
in my career journey

Employees don’t leave only bad jobs. 
They also leave jobs with no 
growth opportunities.

When people feel stuck, 
they start looking elsewhere.

So how can companies retain top talent? 
By prioritizing career development.

Here’s what a true growth culture looks like:


➡️ Clear Career Paths 

Employees need to see 
their future in the company. 

➡️ Mentorship & Sponsorship 

Investing in people creates loyal,
 high-performing teams. 

➡️ Leadership Development 

Training future leaders should 
be among top priorities.

➡️ Internal Mobility 

If employees have to leave to grow, 
something is broken. 

➡️ Continuous Learning 

A company that encourages 
skill development stays ahead.

What are some ways you’d want an employer 
to support your career development?

I elevate your lead generation efforts by focusing on 𝕏 and LinkedIn, using quality content that drives 200+ leads for business owners.

99% of my clients say these 3 things:

1. I don’t have the time to write & post consistently.
2. I don’t have the writing skills for social media.
3. I don’t know how to build a personal brand & generate leads

But if you’re a 5 to 7 figure entrepreneur CEO or Founder.

You don’t need to spend the time + effort.

You just need a Ghost-Marketer like me.

I do all the hard stuff for you to save you time.

Like help my clients:

→Go from 100s to 100,000s views.
→Add 1000+ followers in less than 30 days.
→Generate 20-30 leads monthly.

But growing on X/LinkedIn is more than posting content & recording numbers.

You really need to build your personal brand = reputation.

So you:

→Become a thought leader.
→Attract more high-ticket clients
→Spend less time working & making more sales.

If that sounds good...

From 0 - 16,000 followers on LinkedIn💃💃

This will be impossible if y'all did not trust me.

I started out on LinkedIn with...

1. Clueless Beginnings

I really didn’t know what to do. 
The journey seemed daunting, but I decided to take the first step.

2. Undefined Goals

I really didn’t know what I wanted. 
But I kept pushing forward, hoping clarity would come with time.

3. Learning the Process

I didn’t understand the process to get the goal. 
Trial and error became my best friends. 
I learned through mistakes and celebrated small wins.

4. Trust and Community

Your trust made all the difference. 
Each like, comment, and share motivated me to keep going. 
This community became my support system.

5. Growth and Gratitude

Now, reaching 16,000 followers feels surreal. 
It’s a testament to persistence and the power of community. 

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let's keep growing together.

We move✌. 20,000 next.

📌LinkedIn Ghostwriting & AI Automation | n8n, Zapier, ClickUp, GoHighLevel for Agencies. 📜Upwork Coach for Freelancers.

Good news!

I got my first new year offer on Upwork.

I was strolling on the street of Upwork after the holidays.

I found this job so fascinating but decided not to apply.

The reason behind my decision was:

- It's impossible for this job to be real.
- What if I apply and waste my connect.
- No one is going to hire another Copywriter when they have one already.

I was the latest "Doubting Thomas" at this time.

But then, I overcame the fear just in a moment after all that.

Boom...I got a message from the client saying;

"I checked your profile and I love it" 
"We pretty much have the same style" 
"Where are you from"?
"In how many days can you deliver this project"?

And the rest is history...

Lesson?

Fear is your success best enemy, kill it always.

P.S: If you need help with your Upwork, I can help you. DM me.

📌Ghostwriting & Outbound Sales Expert. 📣Apollo, GoHighLevel, Zapier, ClickUp for Agency Owners. 🌐Upwork Coach for Freelancers.

A client on Upwork told me: "€500 is a lot of money in Nigeria."

I rejected the offer immediately.

Here's what they missed:

My location has nothing to do with:
• My years of experience solving your problems
• My track record with brands I've helped
• My skills I invested a decade learning
• My tenacity and business acumen
• My wages or earning potential

This happens too often with international clients.

They see my location and assume discount rates.

But here's the truth:

You're not paying for my WHERE.
You're paying for my HOW.

I could be from Nigeria, but my value is the quality I bring to your business.

You have a problem? I can fix it.
You need expert clarity? You need me.
You need the best person for the job? I'm the one.

What successful clients understand:

→ They value skills, not nationality
→ They hire expertise, not geography
→ They invest in results, not time zones

Stop underestimating people based on their location.

The freelancer who can transform your business doesn't care where you're from.

And you shouldn't care where they're from either.

Remember:

Don't let anyone treat you like they're doing you a favor.
You're helping their business.
You're solving their problems.
You deserve fair compensation.

Have you experienced this from a client before?

What was your response?

P.S: Struggling to get high tickets clients on Upwork? Send me a DM. I can help you.

27 yrs old: Confused and tired of starting a new business offline.

28 yrs old: Made my first $15 on Upwork for FMCG lead gen.

You're one of the most expensive ghostwriters in Nigeria"

A client told me this last month.

Why? (I charge in USD)

📗 6 weeks of writing his posts, he referred me his friend.
📗 2 months in, I got a bonus from him.
📗 After 6 months, he sent another bonus.
📗 Last week, I got another bonus.

This taught me: If you are confident in your skills, people are ready to pay.

In his first 2 weeks of posting,
He had 5 hot leads in his DMs.

I didn't just rely on the algorithm.

But;  

✅ I clarified his message
✅ Pressed in his positioning
✅ Built a personalized strategy

It made people KNOW him. LIKE him & TRUST him.

None of it happened by luck.

And he is my greatest win on LinkedIn this month.

Start with intention. Show up daily. It compounds.

Every. Single. Time.

P.S: What's your greatest win on LinkedIn for January?

I left my comfort zone yesterday to work remotely from a café.

And I achieved more in 3 hours than I did all week at home.

Here's what I realized:

Environment shapes productivity.

I've been working from home since I started freelancing.
Same desk. Same routine. Same distractions.

Yesterday was different.

I packed my laptop and left.

No familiar couch calling me.
No endless scrolling between tasks.
No "I'll do it later" excuses.

Just focused work.

Here's what changed:

→ New environment = Fresh energy
→ Time limit = Urgency to execute
→ Public space = Accountability

The result?

I finished client content I'd been postponing.
I mapped out my content strategy for next week.
I felt accomplished, not drained.

Sometimes staying comfortable keeps you stuck.

Not because you're lazy.

But because your environment isn't pushing you forward.

If you've been struggling with productivity:

Change your location.
Even once a week.

You might surprise yourself with what you accomplish.

Repost ♻️ this if you needed to hear it today.

‎Some tell you “Write everyday on Linkedin & you will land a client.
‎
‎(Easiest way to quit LI is to write & expect)
‎
‎I have been getting clients on LinkedIn without waiting for any DM.
‎
‎But before then,
‎
‎I'd trust every gurus post. Write. Show up. Engage. 
‎
‎9 months in, I was still waiting for the miracle of getting a client. 
‎
‎I was dangerously broke even more than a church rat. It was terrible.
‎
‎Just when I met my coach, I discovered LIKES AIN'T CASH. You know him already😂
‎
‎The post I write daily wasn't the problem, it was my naivety of CONTENT STRATEGY.
‎
‎No pain points addressed. Just vibes and no potential client trust me with my vibes.
‎
‎I seriously learnt the hard way.
‎
‎I stopped writing regular vibes and focused on what brings the clients: 
‎
‎- I niched down completely (Pain Points)
‎
‎- I educate and sell softly (Authority & Psychology)
‎
‎- Show what I can do (Testimonials) 
‎
‎I did this constantly and create my own strategy. My DMs screams "I need an appointment with you" 
‎
‎See, writing is not the problem you have. You have a strategy problem.
‎
‎I hope this hits well & help someone today!
‎
‎P.S. Start with strategy and give yourself 2 weeks.

I sent the offer he couldn't say NO to & closed another BIG LinkedIn deal. 

(LinkedIn is a money printer)

Here is my exact $2000 blueprint:

1. Profile Optimization.

- Your profile must be visible. 
- Your profile must be simple. 
- Your profile must serve as a landing page.

Be sure your profile is 100% optimized.

2. Content Creation.

No one sees your profile if you don't write.
Even if your profile is 100% optimized.

Create content around your:

- Struggles 
- Failures 
- Wins 

Just keep writing quality content.

3. Network With People.

B2B -  ❌❌ 
H2H - ✅✅ 
P2P -  ✅✅

People buy from people, not bots.

Send personalized invites to your potential client every day.

There is no way you won't land a client in 30 days.

4. Go On Sales Calls.

- Explain your service. 
- Solve their problems. 
- Sell your solutions.

Don't undercharge! Charge your worth.

5. Under Promise, Over Deliver.

Once you get a client. Don't look for the second.. 

Make sure you give them the best service.

You will get more referrals from your clients.

Referrals = More Revenue 💰.

Let's talk; Which of these method is your go-to?

If you see my post today, you are lucky.

97% of people will scroll past this.
Not because they don't want success.

But because they're not ready to do what it takes.

I've spent years building my personal brand from scratch.

And here's what I learned:

Your $100k breakthrough isn't about:
▪️ More followers ▪️ More posts ▪️ More platforms.

It's about:
→ Building relationships that convert into clients.
→ Creating content that solves real problems.
→ Positioning yourself as the go-to expert.

The professionals making $100k+ in 2026?

They stopped:
▪️ Posting randomly ▪️ Chasing algorithms ▪️ Waiting for permission.

They started:
▪️ Showing up consistently ▪️ Sharing their expertise ▪️ Making clear offers.

Here's your roadmap:

Build authority in one niche.
Build trust through valuable content.
Build a system that attracts ideal clients.

2026 is your year if you decide it is.

JUST START.

P.S: If you are looking to start LinkedIn or Upwork in 2026. Send me a DM. I can help you.

82% of people who paid me were complete strangers.
Today, they're my biggest success story.

Three years ago, I thought I needed warm connections to build my business.

I spent months chasing referrals from friends and family, hoping they'd introduce me to potential clients.

But here's what happened:

1. The Reality Check:

• Most referrals never converted into paying clients.

• I was stuck waiting for introductions that rarely came.

2. The Discovery:

• I realized strangers on LinkedIn didn't need convincing about my credibility.

• They saw my content, read my insights, and reached out directly.

3. The Results:

• My first high-paying client came from someone I'd never met.

• Then another, and another - all from my LinkedIn presence.

• Today, 82% of my revenue comes from people who found me online.

→ Building Trust with Strangers:

Here's my advice for you:

Your next client is probably someone you haven't met yet, scrolling through LinkedIn right now.

Have you ever landed a client who was a complete stranger before working together?

Last year, I worked with 25+ clients from Upwork remotely.

This changed everything: → Remote jobs will 10x your income in 2026

But I struggled for a long time.

My first client paid me just $15.

I wanted to quit.

Not sure if I could make it? I kept trying.

Not sure what I was doing wrong? I needed help.

Not sure if things would change? They did.

After a year, I met someone who taught me the ins and outs of Upwork.

I took a break in 2022.

In 2023, I returned with new skills and a fresh mindset.

Now, I've worked with clients from every continent in the world.

Here's what I learned:

• Network with freelancers and clients
• Build a profile that stands out
• Keep learning and improving
• Don't give up too soon
• Seek help from mentors

These steps helped me thrive on Upwork.

If I can do it, so can you.

The hardest part is often just getting started and staying consistent.

I'll break everything down for FREE.

LinkedIn bombards you with stories of "overnight success."

But here's what they don't show you.

The reality behind every success story I've studied:

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Win.

90% don't know these facts about these brands:

- YouTube started with a dating site
- Instagram started with a whiskey app
- Amazon started by selling books
- Nokia started with a paper mill
- Netflix started with DVDs

Persistence has been the most powerful yet undervalued trait in successful people.

I've learned that no matter how tough life gets:

☑️ Persevere
Keep pushing forward even when results aren't showing.

☑️ Embrace failure
Every failure teaches you something valuable.

☑️ Remain consistent
Small daily actions compound over time.

☑️ Repeat the process
Success comes from doing the right things repeatedly.

Failure is the hallmark of every success story we see today.

The brands you admire didn't start perfect. They pivoted, failed, and kept going.

Your journey won't be different. But that's exactly what makes success meaningful.

What failure are you currently working through?

Are you struggling to generate leads on LinkedIn?

{Steal my 4-step framework ASAP!}

1. Know Your Why
Be clear on your WHY

→ Why You?
→ Why LinkedIn?
→ Why More Leads
→ Why Show Up Daily?

2. Optimize Your Profile
Your profile represents you

→ Profile Photo & Banner
→ Headline
→ Top Skills
→ About
→ Featured Section

3. Understand Your TA
Everyone is not your target audience.

→ Know who they are.
→ Know their location.
→ Know their pain points.

4. Share Quality Content
Share content relatable to your target audience.

→ ToFU
→ MoFU
→ BoFU

How I Turned My LinkedIn Into a Traffic Machine.

I planned to wake up at 5 AM daily this month to write my posts.

Guess how many times I was up?

NONE😢

Despite what gurus teach about the habits of successful people.

This one isn't just for me.

❌ Listen, your success is not defined by other people's habits.

✅ It's defined by what makes you happy.

❌ Life isn't meant to look robotic.

✅ It's meant to be fun.

Learn to build a routine that works for you.

P.S. - What time do you wake up daily to write your posts?

♻️ Repost to energize your network.

I quoted a CEO $1200 some months to build an outreach system.

But, I got rejected. It was so bad & was humiliated.

Here is what happened 👇

He reached out to me for my lead generation services.

He is a big buy in his industry and couldn't just mess up.

I settled at a $1000 budget initially. Then decided to raise it to $1200. 

I didn't want to look cheap😢.

We set a meeting for a quick presentation and I did well.

Fast forward, to sending my quotation.

I waited and finally got a response.

He respectfully declined the offer and I asked WHYYYY?.

He said "He'd love to work with a more PROFESSIONAL person"

I was dumbfounded but found this out.

He had a budget of $2500. Someone else pitched him and got it the gig.

Now, this is his opinion of me:

✅ My proposed budget seems to him I don't know my job.

✅ I didn't understand lower offer means lover value to him.

✅ I didn't value myself, so he didn't too.

It's funny how we got rejected different times with different perspectives.

This would have been one of my biggest wins on LinkedIn that year.

But then,

You win some, You lose some.

Lesson 👇

✅ Learn to know your worth, you won't be afraid to charge.

✅ Make enough research on prospects before you sending your price quotation.

'‎LinkedIn consistency' is not easy at all and I can't stop talking about it. 
‎
‎Even though I've told you LinkedIn is the best platform to build your brand. 

I'm here again to tell you it's not easy.
‎
‎That's why I show up daily to encourage you so you can focus more on the process.
‎
‎Let your mind agree to the fact that consistency on LinkedIn is not easy. 
‎
‎Allow yourself to skip a day when you don't have anything to post. 
‎
‎Allow yourself to never compare your journey with anyone.
‎
‎Teach yourself discipline.
‎
‎Stop explaining yourself each time to people. 
‎
‎Focus on your strength and monetize it.
‎
‎Monetize it and think about scaling.
‎
‎When you scale, think about helping others to achieve the samething.
‎
‎No fear
‎No shame
‎No bad energy
‎
‎Just keep going.
‎
‎I'm rooting for you.
