LiquidWealth™ System → Helping Middle & High-Income Canadians & Business Owners Slash Taxes and Grow Wealth Tax-Free–without Losing Liquidity | Ex-TotalEnergies | Ex-Schlumberger | Ex-Drilling Fluids & Cementing Engineer

If you're a high-income earner or business owner in Canada…

You’re stuck in a system designed to maximize what you owe.

✔︎ Corporate taxes eat into your profits.
✔︎ Personal taxes shrink your take-home income.
✔︎ Investment gains? The CRA takes its healthy share of that, too.

The more successful you become, the bigger the tax bill.

Sure, your accountant follows the rules. Keeps you compliant. Files your returns.

But do they have a real strategy to stop the bleeding?

Because if they did, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

The ultra-wealthy play by a different set of rules—because they know the system inside and out.

And I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

They use little-know insurance-based vehicles as powerful tax shelters—one that allows them to grow their wealth tax-free while keeping full access to their money.

You should be playing the game with their rulebook. And that’s precisely why I developed the LiquidWealth™ System.

A proprietary strategy designed to:

→ Slash corporate and personal tax exposure.
→ Turn your business into a tax shelter – instead of a tax-target.
→ Create a tax-free retirement income stream
→ Protect and grow your wealth tax free—without losing liquidity.

Look, the government isn’t going to call you up and tell you how to pay less tax.

That’s on you.

And if you want to see how this can work for your specific situation, the next move is simple.

Connect and message me here on LinkedIn to start a conversation.

Because the less you give to the CRA, the more you have to invest, grow, and enjoy.

You’re not behind. You’re being prepared.

In a world that glorifies speed, it’s easy to feel late.

You scroll and see people “ahead.”

New jobs. New houses. New milestones.

And suddenly, your pace feels like punishment.

But here’s what no one tells you:

Delay isn’t denial.

It’s development.

The roots grow first — unseen, uncelebrated, underground.

Then the fruit appears.

Maybe you’re in your root season right now.

The quiet building season.

The unseen progress.

You’re not stuck. You’re being strengthened.

And that foundation you’re building? 

It’s what will hold the weight of your future.

So don’t curse the slow days.

They’re your preparation days.

🌱 Keep building. You’re closer than you think.

♻️ Repost this for anyone feeling behind in a world obsessed with speed.

When a competent employee gets fired for something trivial…

It says more about the leadership than the employee.

Some companies don’t lose talent —

They push it out because excellence made someone uncomfortable.

Here’s what usually happens:
 🔹 A strong performer speaks up.

 🔹 Someone insecure feels exposed.

 🔹 A minor issue becomes a major offence.

 🔹 And suddenly, a “replacement” shows up — cheaper, inexperienced, compliant.

Short-term comfort.

Long-term chaos.

Because when you trade competence for control:

📉 Productivity drops

📉 Culture fractures

📉 Trust evaporates

And leaders wonder why everything feels harder.

The truth?

If you can fire your best people over small things,

You weren’t protecting the company —
 
You were protecting an ego.

♻️ Repost this if you believe leadership without fairness is just management with panic.

Solomon never asked for wealth.

He asked for wisdom.

And wealth came looking for him.

That’s the divine principle most people miss:

Money follows mastery.

Influence follows insight.

Here’s the truth:

🟢 Wisdom creates what money can’t buy — sustainability.

🟢 The rich chase returns. The wise build systems.

🟢 When you understand value, wealth becomes a byproduct, not a pursuit.

Solomon didn’t inherit prosperity — 

He engineered it through understanding.

Your greatest investment isn’t in markets.
 
It’s in mindset.

Don’t pray for more — prepare for more.

Because wealth without wisdom is just a countdown to waste.

He walked into the office on Monday. 

No applause. No spotlight. 

No special attention.

By Friday, the team had delivered a project three days ahead of schedule.

Why?

He didn’t talk about his position.

He didn’t demand attention.

He did small things:

✅ Checked in with people before problems got big.

✅ Recognized effort quietly, but consistently.

✅ Removed obstacles instead of adding rules.

Morgan Housel once said,

“The most powerful form of wealth is not needing to impress anyone.”

Read that again.

Wealth isn’t just a number in your account —

It’s peace of mind that can’t be taxed.

It’s the calm that comes from knowing your money serves you, not your image.

Too many people go broke trying to look rich.

The truly wealthy? 

They build quietly — protected, tax-efficient, and long-term.

They don’t chase validation.

They chase freedom.

Because real financial confidence doesn’t shout.

It rests. It plans. It compounds in silence.

Build the kind of wealth that doesn’t need to be seen — only sustained.

Most people aren’t drowning because life is hard.

They’re drowning because they said “yes” too many times.

You don’t need a new planner.

You need a new priority list.

You can’t do deep work if you’re addicted to being available.

Every “yes” divides your focus.

Every “no” protects your power.

Let’s be real - burnout isn’t a badge of honor.

It’s proof that boundaries were never built.

So this week, ask yourself:

👉 What can I say no to — so I can say a stronger yes to what truly matters?

Because success isn’t about doing more.

It’s about doing what matters without apology.

The loudest voice isn’t always the strongest leader.

Some lead with noise.

Others lead with clarity.

The truth?

Your people don’t follow sound.

They follow stability.

Leadership isn’t about being the first to speak in the room —

It’s about being the one people look to when the room goes silent.

Because anyone can direct.

Few can truly anchor.

Great leaders don’t rush to prove they know.

They pause long enough to understand.

So, if you’re leading, remember this:

Your calm is your credibility.

Your character is your communication.

💡 Loud control might intimidate people into silence.

But quiet confidence inspires people into greatness.

Nehemiah didn’t pray for walls.

He built them.

When he saw ruins, he didn’t host a conference about vision —

He picked up bricks and started work.

That’s the difference between dreamers and builders:

Dreamers talk about what could be.

Builders create what should be.

Here’s the truth:

🟢 Vision means nothing without execution.

🟢 Prayer fuels purpose — but action fulfills it.

🟢 Opposition doesn’t stop real leaders — it sharpens them.

Insecurity is loud because it needs an audience.

Confidence is quiet because it doesn’t.

You don’t need to prove what’s already true.

You don’t need to perform when you’re grounded.

Insecurity shouts.

Confidence shows.

Here’s how insecurity exposes itself:

 ❌ Overexplaining simple wins.

 ❌ Competing with everyone.

 ❌ Needing constant validation.

 ❌ Mistaking noise for influence.

And here’s how confidence responds:

 ✅ It listens more than it talks.
 
 ✅ It praises others without feeling smaller.
 
 ✅ It chooses calm over chaos.
 
 ✅ It is unmoved by comparison.

The strongest people in the room rarely dominate the room —

they stabilize it.

When you stop trying to appear powerful,

you finally become it.

Legacy is built in private long before it’s seen in public.

Don’t chase visibility.

Here’s the truth most leaders ignore:

Your ego costs you:

📉 Top talent who leave quietly.

📉 Teams who only do the minimum.

📉 Opportunities that die in silence.

Because ego whispers:

“Control everything. Protect your turf. Be the smartest in the room.”

Wisdom says:

“Distribute authority. Multiply impact. Celebrate others’ strengths.”

The difference between weak leaders and great leaders?

✅ Weak leaders hoard power.

✅ Great leaders create power for others.

Don’t chase approval.

Don’t build your life on applause, likes, or recognition.

Here’s the truth: God never works that way.

He calls, equips, and blesses before anyone notices.

He honors faithfulness in the unseen.

Take Noah, for example:

 ✅ He built an ark when it made no sense.
 ✅ He obeyed when everyone doubted.
 ✅ He trusted a promise bigger than the problem.

Faithfulness doesn’t depend on recognition - 

It depends on alignment with purpose.

Your work, your calling, your mission -

It’s seen by the One who matters.

What’s one step of obedience you’ve been postponing because the crowd hasn’t applauded yet?

The best leaders don’t create followers.

They create stability in the middle of chaos —

and there’s no better time to practice that than a new month.

New months expose leadership gaps.

Some teams start energized.

Some start confused.

Some don’t even know what the goals are.

That’s where leadership shows up.

Great leaders do what most people overlook:

 1️⃣ They set clear priorities—not vague wishes.

 2️⃣ They communicate expectations before problems arise.

 3️⃣ They clear old conflicts so momentum stays clean.

 4️⃣ They refocus the team and remove unnecessary pressure.

 5️⃣ They reward consistency, not noise.

 6️⃣ They give direction without controlling every step.

 7️⃣ They fix the processes that slowed last month.

 8️⃣ They model the discipline they expect.

 9️⃣ They create a plan—and the calm to execute it.

 🔟 They make sure everyone knows: we’re moving forward together.

People don’t thrive under pressure.

They thrive under clarity.

I once worked with a manager who never raised his voice — 

but everyone respected him deeply.

One day, I asked him why.

He said:

“Because the moment you have to use fear to lead,

you’ve already lost influence.”

That hit hard.

Too many leaders mistake pressure for power.

But leadership isn’t about proving dominance —

It’s about protecting dignity.

When people trust you enough to be honest,

to fail safely, to disagree respectfully —

That’s when you’ve built something worth following.

True leadership isn’t loud.

It’s consistent, calm, and quietly confident.

The ones who roar the least…

Often lead the best.

Your team isn’t lazy. 

They’re Lost.

Most people don’t wake up deciding to underperform.

They just don’t know what winning looks like.

Leaders love to talk about “ownership”…

but forget that ownership requires clarity.

If your people don’t know:

 ➡️ what success means,

 ➡️ how it’s measured, and

 ➡️ why it matters —

Then they’re not unmotivated. They’re unguided.

You can’t hold people accountable for expectations you never made visible.

💡 Great leadership isn’t about shouting louder — it’s about showing clarity

Define the win.

Communicate the goal.

Then get out of their way.

The wealthy don’t work harder.

They work smarter — especially with taxes.

Here’s the real difference between high income and real wealth:

1️⃣ The average earner pays taxes first, then lives off whatever remains.

2️⃣ The strategic earner uses structures that let money grow tax-free and uninterrupted.

3️⃣ The LiquidWealth™ client keeps liquidity, protection, and peace of mind — all at the same time.

They buy why you do it.

Simon Sinek said it best —

And it still holds true in business, leadership, and legacy.

You can sell insurance.

You can sell strategy.

You can sell systems.

But if people don’t feel your why, they’ll never buy your what.

Because humans don’t follow transactions.

They follow trust.

The most powerful brands and leaders in the world all have one thing in common:

👉 “Why does this work matter?”

🟢 You can’t preach excellence from a place of excuses.

🟢 Your habits become your team’s standard.

They rise to your example.

Accountability builds culture.

Wealth without liquidity is stress disguised as success.

You can’t call it freedom if you can’t touch it.

You can’t call it growth if you can’t access it.

And you can’t call it wealth if you’re waiting for permission to use your own money.

Most people focus on earning more.

The wealthy focus on structuring better.

Because true wealth isn’t about the size of your income —

It’s about how smoothly your money can move when life or opportunity shows up.

Liquidity is what keeps you flexible.

It’s what keeps you protected.

It’s what keeps you in control.

➤ Opened doors to traveling with confidence across French-speaking countries, 
➤ Helped me build meaningful relationships with people from different cultures,
➤ And made me eligible for any bilingual position in my field.

Sunmoluwa Ajala

Last year, I decided to take LinkedIn more seriously.

I wanted to share my journey as a Nigerian who learned French, used it to relocate to Canada, and now teaches it in a way that’s simple, relatable, and achievable.

But I didn’t know where to start.

So I got a LinkedIn coach, Tobi Oluwole.

And if you know Tobi, you know he never stops talking about one person: 

Justin Welsh, the person he learned from.

Naturally, I started following Justin too. 

His writing style, clarity, and approach to content resonated with me instantly.

When he launched the Unsubscribe community, I joined.

And when he announced an in-person meet-up in Toronto, I signed up immediately.

Fast-forward to the event…

I walked in, and it genuinely felt surreal meeting someone I’d learned from indirectly. But what shocked me most was how invested Justin was in my story:

- Learning French in Nigeria
- Relocating to Canada
- Building French Arena
- Helping people pass TEF/TCF exams and speak confidently

His wife, Jennifer Welsh, was just as incredible — warm, brilliant, and truly “fantabulous,” if I can use that word.

My friend Erhi and I had the best conversations, the kind you remember long after they’re over.

Then the highlight of my month:

Justin mentioned me in his newsletter (screenshot attached). Still unbelievable.

So today, I just want to say:

Thank you, Tobi, for pushing me to start writing.
Thank you, Justin Welsh, for inspiring a style that so many of us learn from.

Thank you, Sumoluwa, for taking the leap to start writing on LinkedIn not knowing that one day you’d sit across the table from someone whose work shaped your journey.

Here’s to showing up.
Here’s to taking chances.
Here’s to reaching out to people you admire.
Here’s to meeting those who impact your life in ways you didn’t expect.

Because you never know, the person whose posts you read today might be the same person sitting across from you tomorrow.

One of my friends tells me how much he wants to learn French every month. 

We've been having this conversation for about 3 years. 

He's genuinely one of the smartest people I know - he taught himself photography in just a few months! 

But every time I recommend starting with just 30 minutes daily to build fluency over time, he panics. 

Immediately, his concerns are perfect pronunciation and making mistakes. 

The irony is that if he started 3 years ago, he might have been fluent by now.

Now his student visa is about to expire, and he's devastated at the thought of leaving Canada - the friends he's made, the lifestyle he's built, the freedom he's enjoyed. 

He's realizing how French bilingualism would have qualified him for permanent residency, a better-paying job (potentially $30K+ more annually), and the ability to stay in the country he now calls home. 

That extra income could have funded investments, travels, or a home. 

Instead of planning his next adventure in Canada, he might be packing his bags.

Stop waiting for "someday" to learn French. 

Every day you delay is another opportunity lost.

The life you want is just a decision away.

It took me 8 years to finally commit to learning French.

(Spoiler alert: this isn’t an overnight fluency story.)

I’d dreamed of speaking French fluently since my early 20s.

I bought books. Downloaded apps. Signed up for courses.

But every time, life got in the way or so I told myself.

I’d learn for a few weeks, then quit when it got “too hard.”

Convincing myself I didn’t have time, I’d shelve the dream… again.

The years kept passing, but the desire never left.

Then one day, it hit me: If I keep quitting, I’ll never get there.

So I decided to stop starting over and commit fully.

Every day, I studied.

Every week, I practiced speaking, even when I felt embarrassed.

And guess what? Months later, I was conversational. Fluent, even.

The years of avoiding the work melted away in a matter of consistent, focused months.

That lesson changed my life.

It’s why I’m so passionate about helping others start their French journey and achieve their goals.

This year alone, I’ve worked with over 100 students in my course.

Whether their goal was to learn phrases for traveling, secure a job, pass immigration exams, or prepare for postgraduate studies, I’ve helped them make it happen.

And now, I’m making it easier than ever to start.

I’m offering 50% off my French Made Easy online courses this Black Friday: https://lnkd.in/g7c-9qmW

Don’t wait 8 years like I did. Start today.

I failed the IELTS English exams 4 times.

Yes, even as a native English speaker.

But when it came to the French TEF exam, I passed it on my first attempt.

The difference? It wasn’t just knowing the language.

It was understanding the exam’s structure and practicing like my life depended on it.

If you’re planning to write the TEF/TCF, chances are you’re feeling the pressure of time. 

Maybe your post graduate work permit visa is about to expire, you need to boost your CRS score, or you’re looking for a Plan B as a student already in Canada. 

You might even be starting from scratch as a beginner.

I’ve been there. I know how overwhelming it feels. 

But here’s the truth: passing this exam is possible if you approach it strategically.

Here’s what helped me pass:

1. Mastering the exam structure:
↳ I didn’t just learn French. I studied how the TEF is scored, the question formats, and the timing. Understanding the structure gave me clarity and confidence.

2. Consistent practice:
↳ Practice makes progress. I used mock exams and real-world exercises to prepare like there was "fire on the mountain." Every single day, I treated my prep like a priority.

3. Targeted guidance:
↳ I didn’t waste time on random resources. Instead, I used materials that were laser-focused on my goals and worked with an expert who knew how to prepare efficiently.

If you’ve been putting off your TEF/TCF prep because it feels overwhelming, let me tell you, it’s possible to get results faster than you think. 

You just need to start.

And guess what? There’s no better time than now.

Take advantage of my Cyber Monday Sale and start your journey today. 

I’ll show you exactly how to prepare strategically, even as a beginner, so you can pass and achieve your goals.

Your future is waiting.

Answering the 5 questions I get the most from professionals thinking about learning French (but feeling overwhelmed):

1. Is it really possible to become fluent without moving to France?
2. How do I stay consistent when I’m busy with work and life?
3. Do I need to take expensive classes to see real progress?
4. How long will it take me to speak confidently?
5. What’s the best way to start—Duolingo, private tutor, YouTube?

_____________

1. Is it really possible to become fluent without moving to France?
↳ 100% yes. I’ve helped dozens of professionals become fluent from their living rooms.

You don’t need a plane ticket.

You need the right method, support, and accountability.

I’ve had students pass the TEF, DELF, and even relocate—all without stepping foot in France.

2. How do I stay consistent when I’m busy with work and life?
↳ You need structure, not more apps.

Busy professionals don’t need 2-hour classes.

You need a smart, daily system—20-30 mins of focused, guided practice.

That’s what I teach. It’s what works.

3. Do I need to take expensive classes to see real progress?
↳ Not at all.

You need clarity, not cost.

Many of my students wasted money on random apps and courses before finding a clear step-by-step approach—one that actually got them speaking.

It’s not about what you pay. It’s about what works.

4. How long will it take me to speak confidently?
↳ Sooner than you think.

If you commit 20-30 mins a day with the right focus, you can start having basic conversations in 90 days.

I've seen students go from beginner to intermediate in 6 months—with the right guidance.

5. What’s the best way to start—Duolingo, private tutor, YouTube?
↳ Start by talking.

Talk out loud. Record yourself. Get feedback.

Apps are cute, but they don’t build confidence.

Speaking does.

If you're serious, find a system that includes coaching + conversation. That’s how fluency grows.

Citizenship doesn't guarantee opportunity.

Bilingualism does.

"I'm learning French, which could help me open doors in my R&D, research and the government side of things," shares Amangel, PhD student and Canadian citizen.

"Nowadays, I see a lot of bilingual jobs coming up. Since the job market is changing and they're looking for more competitive people, I am learning French to keep myself in the competition."

LinkedIn is full of opportunities, not just connections.

Start studying: 
→ Which industries prioritize bilingual candidates 
→ What roles require French 
→ Who is winning in the bilingual job market

Career advancement is about leveraging your unique advantages: Your bilingualism is the secret weapon that can put you at the top of every candidate list.

A six-figure salary opportunity is waiting. 

It's time to unlock it.

Let's make French your next power skill.

Currently enrolling new students in my signature 90-day French acceleration program for professionals. 

📩 DM me "FLUENT" to chat and see if it's a fit.

I make all my French students do this one thing.

(They're always surprised when I ask them to do it.)

On our first lesson, I tell them to speak less.

99% of my students are eager to practice, but they try to speak as much French as they can—no matter how hard.

- They might’ve been told speaking often is the key to fluency.
- They push themselves to speak even when they don’t feel ready.
- They want to say everything they know.

But here’s the truth: speaking without mastering the basics first can hold you back.

Instead, I focus on building a solid foundation: proper grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.

Quality over quantity, always.

Consistency is what transforms beginners into confident speakers not rushing through it.

If you’re serious about improving your French, take it one step at a time. 

And when the time comes, I’ll be here to help you shine.

I’ve read many books, but this one changed my language learning journey:

(And it’s not just any language guide)

→ Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Here's how to apply its principles to stay committed to learning French:

1. Make it obvious: 
↳Set a specific time each day for French practice and turn it into a habit.

2. Make it attractive: 
↳Use engaging resources like French music, movies, or podcasts to keep things fun and interesting.

3. Make it easy: 
↳Start with small, manageable tasks. Learn just a few new words each day to build momentum.

4. Make it satisfying: 
↳ Celebrate your wins! Reward yourself for achievements like holding a short conversation or understanding a song.

5. Focus on systems, not goals: 
↳ Concentrate on daily practice and routines that lead to fluency, rather than fixating on the end goal.

6. Track your progress: 
↳Keep a journal to reflect on your journey and boost motivation.

"Atomic Habits" reshaped my approach to building habits, both in language learning and life. 

I revisit its lessons often to refine my teaching methods.

Apply these principles, and you’ll see real progress in your French learning journey.

Immigration lawyers don't sell language courses.

They sell solutions.

And for two years, Toronto immigration lawyer Lou has been advising clients to learn French as their ultimate backstop.

"You stand to increase your CRS points, and that increases your chances to get drawn," he explains.

But it gets better: "You receive the possibility of being classified as a Francophone under Express Entry... which has a lower cutoff score."

LinkedIn is full of opportunities, not just connections.

Start studying: 
→ How French impacts your Express Entry profile 
→ Which immigration streams prioritize bilingual candidates 
→ Who is winning in the CRS scoring system

Immigration success is about leveraging your unique advantages: Your bilingualism is the secret weapon that can put you at the top of every candidate list.

Your permanent residency is closer than you think. 

It's time to unlock it.

Recently, one of my clients shared some great news:

her company agreed to reimburse her for my French course! 

She had wanted to improve her French for a while, especially to better connect with French-speaking clients.

Thanks to her company’s learning budget, she’s making serious progress.

It got me thinking… so many companies have learning budgets in place for exactly this reason!

If you’re interested in learning French and aren’t using that budget, you are missing out. 

If your company offers a learning allowance, here’s how she got approved:

1. Check Your Company’s Learning Budget
2. Prepare a Justification
3. Find a Course (Like This One!)
4. Show the ROI
5. Submit a Request to HR or Your Manager

Upskilling doesn’t have to come out of your own pocket, and it’s a great way to end the year strong!

Imagine where you could be in just 6 weeks if you start your French journey today.

My goal is for you to succeed this year, so I’m offering French Made Easy for just $125 until tomorrow.

I wish I had this when I started, so I created it for you.

Remember: 2026 results start today!

When I read this message, I was truly touched and was instantly reminded why I do what I do.

My student is about to turn 77. 

She watched one of my YouTube videos and decided to sign up for my French course.

When she enrolled, I asked her, as I ask every student, “What is your WHY?”

Why do you want to learn French?

Everyone’s reason is deeply personal. And your WHY is what keeps you going on the tough days.

For her, her WHY is powerful:

✨ To keep her mind active and sharp as she ages.
✨ To avoid the decline she saw in her mother’s final years.
✨ To surround herself with fluent French speakers and stay engaged with life.

She’s also learning the guitar and taking art workshops, living proof that age is just a myth when it comes to learning and growth.

I always tell people: it’s never too late. 

- You don’t need perfect time. 
- You don’t need to be young. 
- You just need your WHY and the courage to start.

We’re wrapping up the year already. Are you still making excuses?

Are you still telling yourself you’re too old, too busy, or too scared of making mistakes?

It’s not about how old you are. 

It’s about what you do with the years you have.

Let’s do this together.

I made all the rookie mistakes when I started learning French.

Every single one. 🙈

- The wrong methods.
- The wrong expectations.
- Trying to sound perfect before I even understood the basics.

It was really uncomfortable to be bad at something in public.

But here’s the truth:

If you can endure the awkward stage, the mistakes, the slow progress…

You unlock opportunities most people only dream about.

If I hadn’t pushed through the discomfort of being a beginner, I wouldn’t:

- have passed my French exams
- have moved to Canada
- be teaching French today
- be helping students relocate, get better jobs, and speak with confidence

And now I get to watch my students do the same:

- Students passing DELF & TEF/TCF
- Students making it to final stages of bilingual job interviews
- Students speaking on Zoom for the first time without freezing
- Students relocating abroad because of French

All because they chose to be uncomfortable long enough to grow.

An extraordinary life always requires out-of-the-ordinary decisions.

So here’s your sign:

Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

That’s where fluency is built.

The advice that changed my French learning journey sounded completely wrong when I first heard it.

My teacher told me: "Speak more badly."

I thought she was joking. She wasn't.

For months, I was trying to speak French perfectly.

I'd rehearse sentences in my head before saying them.

I'd stay silent if I wasn't sure of the grammar.

My teacher said: "You're optimizing for correctness. You need to optimize for communication."

"Speak badly, but speak often. You'll improve faster than speaking perfectly once a month."

Doing something badly 100 times teaches you more than doing it perfectly 10 times.

I started speaking French terribly on purpose.

Mispronunciations? Who cares. 

Grammar mistakes? Keep talking.

It felt awful. I sounded like a toddler.

But three months of terrible French taught me more than six months of careful French.

Sometimes the best advice is permission to do the thing you've been avoiding because it feels wrong.

The best results come from embracing imperfection, not avoiding it.

"Learning with you has shown me that your students' progress always comes first."

These words from Yinka, one of the incredible students in my French Made Easy Online Course, truly highlight why I love what I do.

When Yinka joined the course, she was looking for a program that could simplify French and make it less daunting. 

She shared how the program broke down the learning process into simple, easy-to-follow steps, making French feel less intimidating and more achievable.

Here’s what worked for her:

1️⃣ A clear, structured path: The course is designed to help learners understand French step-by-step, so you can confidently express yourself, no matter their starting point.

2️⃣ Consistent follow-up: As Yinka put it, “Thank you for the constant follow-up to ensure that I don’t give up, even when it could be tiring.”

3️⃣ Motivation and practice: Between motivational emails, weekend exercises, and personalized corrections, she always had the support she needed to keep going.

Her success is a reminder that with the right approach, anyone can learn French and actually enjoy the process.

Everyone says consistency is the key to success…

But let’s talk about why that’s true especially when it comes to learning French:

Here are 4 reasons why consistency works (yes, even when you don’t feel like it):

1. Most people won’t stick with it.
↳ We live in a distracted world. If you show up consistently, you're already ahead of 90% of learners who give up too soon.

2. It builds trust with yourself.
↳ The more you show up, the more confident you become. You start to believe, "Hey, I really can do this."

3. It creates momentum.
↳ One hour becomes two. One sentence becomes a full conversation. Progress multiplies when you're consistent.

4. You go from “a French learner” to THE bilingual candidate.
↳ It’s one thing to say “I’m learning French.”
 It’s another to walk into an interview and switch fluently to French when needed.

Consistency makes that happen.

I always say: You're 6 months of consistency away from a different life.

A life where speaking French is no longer a dream, it’s your everyday reality.

Ready to start speaking without fear and access six-figure paying jobs?

Join my French Made Easy Course and start building the consistency that creates results: https://lnkd.in/gg3snSM9

The number 1 reason people struggle with French:

They focus on perfect grammar instead of real practice.

↳ Memorizing endless vocabulary lists
↳ Getting stuck on verb conjugations
↳ Waiting for the “perfect moment” to start speaking

The result? Lack of confidence and zero fluency.

Here’s what worked for me instead:

1. Focused on building basic conversational skills first
2. Set small, realistic goals and celebrated each win
3. Used French in everyday life: texts, labels, playlists
4. Practiced speaking (even if I made mistakes!)
5. Built a habit of consistent, daily practice

Stop waiting to “master” French before you use it.

Start using it while you’re learning it.

Daily progress will get you further than perfect planning.
