By the way, in this episode I discussed why many fashion designers, graphic designers, tailors, hairdressers, writers suffer.
And by suffer I mean, they put in so much efforts only to earn peanuts. and with the rate at which inflation is going, your 100k now is synonymous to 20k last year.
Sad times.
But you can be strategic and plot your way out, without planning to "japa" how do you rise above this storm?
Strategically. I talked about the difference between a strategy and a plan.
Asking the tough questions!

I heard this amazing testimony from @_omooba01 this weekend and it lit up my mind. He said he read my article on pricing properly, and he started to price better. I mean times 5 of what he used to price
See don't bother a lot about the likes (bother o), but see, focus on the impact. So, here is a thank you to you. Thank you for thinking with Tobe.
This boy is grateful.

*BOYS AND TALKING...*
Now in my small years of experience in discipling people, I realised that it is the boys who struggle with communicating how they feel, what they are going through in very clear terms.
Don't get me wrong, I have girls who have this trait too, but I discovered that it's the boys who struggle with it. And the antagonist here is that idea to "man up"
So, my boys will be going through hell, and would say nothing, and it's not because they don't have what to say, but they don't see the need. Also because they don't have the right words to convey what they feel.
Their first reaction is to muscle it out; solve it by themselves. And they come under immense pressure!
This often leads them to be recluse and doubt their self worth. We are one of the worst people to have a conversation with, I mean ourselves. We always self berate.
So, if you leave them alone, they'd enter their minds and peel themselves off. Many times when we talk, after we are done they get to realize that it's not as bad as they thought it was.
Having the ability to articulately express ones emotions without feeling trapped is a blessing.
Emotions weren't designed to be bottled! They are reactionary, and because of that, they should be expressed.
I teach them HOW to express what they feel articulately. Not to bottle up what they feel. That they feel something, means there is something else triggering that reaction. It's simple math. To therefore discover the trigger, they must learn to carefully explain with words what it is they feel.
Words therefore, give MEANING to things.
For instance, many people don't know the difference between "sad" and "angry". One can be sad and not be angry. These emotions also can be mixed.
Many times, whatever we DEFINE our emotions as, is what we now get to experience. Because our emotions are reactionary, we can trigger them with MEANING...
This is also why many boys struggle in relationships; they simply don't know to
First quarter of this year hasn't finished, and I already feel overwhelmed by the many things I need to achieve. Taking steps everyday, getting closer to my dreams can also be overwhelming.
No one told me about how overwhelming success can be. To be honest, I feel burnt out and this can be a huge distraction for me.
But one thing that keeps me going is taking time to rest, spending time with people that I love (including the lord and my local church) and telling myself that if I don't achieve these things at the time that I set, I can still achieve them—no need to be under so much pressure.
Again, is to condition my mind. I had to learn to unpack. Just write things down as they happen, express all of the pent up emotion, get lots of hugs and just chill.
My birthday is in 2 days, I am still young and have a lot to do. So, cheers to being a human, and navigating all of this.
This year is great. For me, and mine. 🤗
THINGS I LEARNED FROM MUSIC CLASS!
When I used to be crazy about singing, I used to want to do riffs so baldy, (Now, I am a bit rusty), but I didn't just know how to. I practiced but you could still hear many flat notes in my riffs, until I came across a voice coach on YouTube. Can't remember who, because it's been like over 10 years now, but what he did was to take all of those complex riffs I was hearing, all of those fast and complex things, and break them down into smaller notes.
Truthfully when he broke down the notes, they didn't look exotic, or as glamorous as they did when they all worked together. But the very exciting riff I heard was made up of not so exciting notes. And all it took for my problems to go away, was to BREAK IT DOWN.
What of therapy sessions, why are they as interesting and as helpful? Many times, the therapist is just breaking your problems down. It's impossible to see your face with your eyes, you'd need an external device to do that or another eyes.
Sometimes we are the worst people to evaluate ourselves. We don't give truth to our evaluations, we just simply berate, and speak low of ourselves and come up with the worst ideas about who we are, and they aren't true. When our issues are broken down to see the root cause, we often times realise that the solution wasn't far fetched. We can now focus on that, and hack our way to freedom.
Why are we feeling overwhelmed by that task? Because we haven't realised that complex things confuse us. They scare our mind into thinking the end of the world is here! 🤣🤣
Break it down!! Break down that task into tiny bits and steps, it helps you consume it without choking. Don't overwhelm your mind, life comes in bulks and packs, break it down!!!
Ask the right questions, "what is this job about?", "What do I need to do to achieve this?", "What are the easiest ways to do this too?"
Wo, just break things down into small bits, to reveal the parts. If you can't, you can simply ask for help. Now
