STOP lying to yourself....... 👇👇

It’s not your equipment that’s holding you back.

Let’s be honest, this debate about “equipment doesn’t matter” only sounds good when you’re not skilled enough to use one properly.

I’ve met people with the latest MacBooks, expensive cameras, and fancy studio setups… yet their output is still mid.

No creativity. No storytelling. Just gear flex.

Here’s the truth:
Equipment does matter, but only for the skilled ones.
Because when someone already understands lighting, sound, design, and editing… having better tools only multiplies their results. It makes their workflow smoother, faster, and more professional.

But for those who haven’t mastered the basics, even if you hand them a full studio, they’ll still deliver average work.

Tools don’t teach creativity. Tools don’t fix lack of skill.

So before you chase new gear, chase mastery.
Learn your craft. Study your audience. Create with what you have, and let your growth demand better equipment, not the other way around.

STOP begging for support, start networking with strangers......

This is how your feed ends up full of p0rn-like content....👇👇

Let’s be real for a second.

What kind of content are you actually consuming daily?
If someone borrowed your phone right now, what would show up on their screen?

Would you be comfortable if your child saw the same?

Some people’s phones honestly feel illegal to touch, and don’t get me wrong, we’ve all been there at some point. But the truth is, your feed reflects your habits.

Start feeding your mind with content that grows you in knowledge, skills, and creativity.

The algorithm only gives you what you keep asking for.

30 minutes daily gone, wasted, no progress.👇👇

Let me ask you, how do you really spend time with your phone or laptop?

If what you do online doesn’t move you from one level to the next, then honestly, it’s working against you.

A few days ago, I attended an event in one of the cities here in Kenya, and one thing stood out.

Most businesses today are in desperate need of skilled social media managers, graphic designers, and video editors.

Here’s why 👇

Many brands rushed into influencer marketing, hoping big followings would bring results. But surprisingly, most still complain.

Why? Because numbers don’t always mean influence.
Having followers is one thing, having the authority to move them into action is another.

Regardless of your age or background, make time to learn a skill that adds value to real businesses.

Understand SEO, learn how to create content that connects, and become a problem solver.

That’s how you stay relevant, not by chasing trends, but by mastering skills that matter.

You’ll stay broke if you keep hiding your work......👇

Yeah, I said it.
Because the truth is, most creatives talk too much about their potential and show too little of what they can actually do.

I’ve met amazing graphic designers, editors, and social media managers who are genuinely talented... but when you check their pages? Nothing. No portfolio, no proof, just motivational quotes and vibes.

Let’s be real, clients don’t guess talent, they see it.
People can’t buy what they don’t know exists.

The reason some of us keep getting clients isn’t luck; it’s visibility. Every project you post online is like saying, “Hey, I can do this too.” It’s your silent salesperson working 24/7.

So if you’re a creative, stop waiting for the “perfect project” before you share something.
Show that flyer you designed.
That short video you edited.
That caption you wrote made someone smile.

You never know who’s watching.

Start now. Be consistent. Let your work speak even when you’re offline.

Because in this digital space, your visibility is your credibility.

If you can’t read the room, that’s how you lose it.

Let me explain.
In the creative industry, your skill alone isn’t enough, you need to understand the language of the market. How you show up, how you speak, how you adapt… that’s what sets you apart.

Big shoutout to Hinn Walubengo, he made a video some time back touching exactly on this, and it reminded me of something that happened to me a while ago.

So, a friend and I were invited to a dinner meeting. The plan was to discuss business ideas and possible collaborations. One of the guys we met came in dressed sharply, suit, tie, the whole look. You could tell he was ready for something serious.

Now, what I didn’t know was that he was a deeply spiritual person. Which again, is perfectly fine. But the problem began when he couldn’t separate the business setting from his personal expression. Every time he spoke, he quoted scripture. And don’t get me wrong, everything he said made sense. But the tone and flow made it feel like a sermon instead of a business discussion.

I could literally see our bosses zoning out. One even whispered, “Can we focus on business, please?”

After the meeting, the feedback I heard was tough but honest:

“If we ever need someone to pray before a meeting, we’ll call him.”

That hit me hard.
Because the guy was brilliant, but he failed to read the room.

And that’s where many creatives lose opportunities.
You might be talented, skilled, and passionate, but if you don’t understand your audience or setting, you’ll miss the moment.

Flexibility is key.
You can be spiritual, funny, or opinionated, but always know when and how to bring that side out. Let your work and behavior reveal your values. You don’t need to shout it.

Sometimes, being professional doesn’t mean hiding who you are it means knowing when to express which part of yourself.

That’s how you earn trust.
That’s how you build long-term relationships.
That’s how you stay relevant in rooms where others get replaced.

Always remember: Read the room. Adapt. Add value. Then speak.

Most brands mess up right here.👇

Let me not even introduce myself, I’m sure one or two brands I’ve worked with before will bump into this post.

As a social media manager and content developer, one thing I’ve learned (and even tested) is that organic reach is king. Yes, running ads is important; it boosts visibility and awareness. But if you’re not banking on organic reach, you’re missing the real connection.

That’s where your real audience lives. The ones who engage, trust, and eventually buy from you.

Now, social media managers can relate; the pressure is real! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told, “Obakhas, I just want sales. Nothing else.”

And I’m like, boss, hold up. You can’t expect someone to trust you, a total stranger online, and buy from you instantly. That’s not how it works.

Your audience needs a reason to trust you first.
So yes, post your products, but stop making every post look like a desperate sale. Teach, engage, and show why your product matters.

Solve a problem, share value, and let trust do the selling for you.

That’s how you win in this digital space.

Let’s be honest......👇

Does what you post accurately reflect your actual abilities?🤔

If you’re in the creative industry and you’ve landed on this post, consider yourself lucky, because I’m not here to massage egos.

Every day, I meet people online, graphic designers, video editors, social media managers who talk big about how “skilled” they are… until you hand them real work. Then reality checks in.

Here’s the bitter truth, about 70% of creatives can’t deliver what they promise. Why? Because most just learn the basics, rush into the market, and expect quick money. That shortcut mindset has made clients lose trust in genuine creatives.

To my brothers and sisters out here, if you’re in the 30% who are serious, step up. There’s an opportunity waiting for you.

And if you’re in that 70%, slow down. Learn. Practice. Don’t chase money too soon; chase skill. The money always follows value.

100K followers, 2 likes? Bro, stop lying to yourself. 😤

Buying followers isn’t growth, it’s ego management.
I’ve seen this over and over in the digital space.

Most brands fear starting small, so they fake success hoping people will respect them. But trust me, people can smell fake engagement faster than you think.

You want credibility? Earn it.
You want loyalty? Build it.
Organic growth is slow, but when it hits, it really hits.

Start real. Stay real. The numbers will find you.
