Well, 24 hours ago (about two years later), he quote that same tweet with the results.
- He is now a top-rated freelancer.
- He is EXTREMELY good at what he does.
- He has made⦠wait for it⦠over $100,000 off Upwork.
I donāt intend to sound like a clichĆ© motivational speaker, but you can always try out new things. And guess what? 90% of what you need are already on the internet. YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and many more. Donāt sleep on this.
Whoās interested in the ebook? Itās 100% free.

Sometimes in 2021, a certain Rotimi replied my tweet asking how he could kick off his Upwork. I guess I missed it because I got too busy, or didnāt see my mentions.
Nonetheless, he didnāt give up. He spent HOURS, WEEKS, and MONTHS understanding the platform. What were the results?

If someone is helping you, try early to start helping them to stop helping you.
As far as I am concerned, itās only Jesus Christ that does not have a threshold. Every other person has limits you must not cross.
Get something doing. Learn a skill. Just diversify your dependence.
If someone offers to help me to do something, Iāll thank them for offering and take the help. But my next goal is to ensure that I start helping myself so the burden can be reduced on them.
Itās a very helpful mentality. Because the person can bail on you at anytime.
Toyosi.
