Emeka Nobis was talking about how people who buy online course, books, coaching don't think for the future.
He told a story of how He met a lady on Instagram few years ago
The lady would push out really valuable contents consistently, sharing amazing values daily and he connected with her.
Emeka said She had a paid training that was teaching *HOW TO GET 1000 INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS EVERY MONTH.*
Said he paid her N16,500 to teach him exactly how it's done.
If you want to know the lesson behind this story, just stay with me and read this till the end.
So he said that the moment he paid for that training
He immediately started imagining what it would mean if he get 1000 Instagram followers every month
It would mean in 12 months, he would have grown from 0-12k followers ( pretty good because the followers will be well targeted)
So he pictured what this followers will help him achieve in the following years.
First, he would start getting lots of requests to promote people's products which he will charge for.
Secondly, lots of people following him would eventually end up buying one or two things from him.
Thirdly, he would start getting lots of influential benefits and all that
Now imagine if he did that for 2,3,5 years.
That would mean hundreds of thousands of followers.
But here's the shocking thing about all of this
He ONLY Paid N16,500 to learn it JUST ONCE.
And the amazing thing is that any money he makes after the training, the lady is not longer benefiting from it.
Don't you get this?
Even if he makes N20m in the long run (lesson on this shortly)
To properly drive my point home, I'll tell you a very short story.
In 2019, Paul Chinedu bought a course from Nnamani Czar Anikulapo Nonso
The name of the course is SNEAK IN MIND CONTROL METHOD
It was a training on persuasion, psychology and how to easily sell using emotions
He bought the course N9,999
After about 5 months of taking that course
He made at least 50X of what he paid simply because he bought the training(and IMPLEMENTED what he learned.
And the person that sold the course won't ever benefit from whatever he make.
I'm not sure you get it
Even if he makes N5m with the knowledge inside the training
It's all his
OK enough of the ranting...
Oh maybe I was not ranting after all..
Let me share an IMPORTANT BUSINESS LESSON you should learn from this
You will fall in love with this ..
I promise you.
*Lesson one* : If you think that paying for course or training that will make YOUR life better is making the course creator rich, you're actually doing yourself.
Because whether you learn from him/her or not, he/she already have the knowledge and will continue using them to better their own life
While you struggle ..
Lesson two: whenever you're buying a course, always think for the future.
Think about it: if you buy a course for 15k today and in the next 1 year, it made you 500k (if you implement what you learn of course)
Would you say it's a bad investment?
I want to end this lesson by saying this
If moving faster in business and in life is what you TRULY want, normalize paying for knowledge
It'll help you grow faster in this journey
