THE BOLU OKUNADE CHANNEL!

Oftentimes 'building something' and 'talking about what you're building' draw from the same energy stream. And you can tell the latter is easier to do. When you are obsessed with 'plans sharing' rather than 'action taking', understand the trade-off you are making. The future will tell us which you actually focused on. Don't satisdy your ego at the expense of making actual progress. Don't waste your 'creative currency' Just saying 😏 I hope this helps -Okunade Boluwaduro (I'll most likely expatiate on this to those on my mailing list soon, join in here for FREE: boluokunade.substack.com)

Have you heard people say in all labour there is profit, just do anything. Its a good place to start but a bad place to stay.

If you are in the career space, especially at the botttom of the ladder, you've probably had a suggestion from the 'demon of average'. It whispers suggestions like this, "How much are they even paying me sef?" "Abeg, I cannot come and kill myself for this small money. I'll just do the one my salary can carry." That mentality right there? It is the most effective poison for career growth. You think you're cheating your Oga, but you are cheating your own destiny. Now, listen to me and listen good. Here is a law you must write on your heart: Your OUTPUT must NEVER be a function of your INCOME. Your output should be a function of your PERSONAL STANDARD. Read that again. Let it sink. You see, life is an accountant, when you consistently operate at a level of excellence that makes your pay grade look like a joke, you create a powerful 'tension'. The universe recognizes this value-imbalance and sets circumstances in motion to balance the books. How? → A promotion that seems to come from nowhere. → A salary review that shocks the finance department. → An irresistible offer from a competitor who has been watching you like a hawk. Treat yourself like a premium brand. Before you send that email or submit that project, ask yourself with your full chest: "Does this thing meet my personal, non-negotiable standard of excellence?" Stop lowering your output to your meagre pay Never reduce your value to become a '50k person' because you are paid a '50k salary'. Always deliver at a level that makes your current salary look like an insult. Create so much value that it becomes financially irresponsible for anyone not to pay you more. Declare a personal war on 'good enough'. Become a fanatic about your standards. Let your work ethic be so savage, so relentless, that your reputation enters a room before you do. And don't be surprised when the feedback comes in different forms. Sometimes, it's a direct compliment. Other times, it's shrouded in jealousy: "Na that oversabi guy be that." When you hear that, smile. It means you are doing something right. Let your standards be the only boss you truly answer to. And keep raising those standards. Rebuke average in your life consistently, I hope this helps, Now go, and act accordingly. P.S. Speaking of raising your standard, we've opened a new HQ on WhatsApp for serious players.

DO THE ‘REST’ and leave your ‘BEST’ There's this popular, feel-good statement we love to throw around: "Do your best and leave the rest." It sounds nice, abi? It’s the kind of thing you post on WhatsApp Status to feel motivated. But, it's one of the most INCOMPLETE pieces of advice for anyone serious about winning in life and in the marketplace. What a beautiful, comfortable, therapeutic lie. It’s a fallacy that suggests that life will see your sweat and say, "Aww, he tried," and then lower the bar for you. Let me ask you, did that ever work in school? Think back to your university days. Remember that tough course, maybe STAT 201 or EIE 411. The pass mark, the non-negotiable requirement, is 40. You study, you burn the midnight oil, you do your absolute best... and you score 32. When the result comes out, what will the results say? F. Fail. Will the lecturer look at your script and say, "Ah, but this guy really tried his best. Let's just dash him the 8 marks"? You know the answer to that. E no dey happen. They will look you in the eye and tell you to carry it over. (Apologies to diaspora readers here) You see, Life is that strict lecturer. The marketplace is that examination hall. Life does not have a column for 'Effort'. It only has a column for 'Results'. It doesn't adjust its standards to meet your best; it demands that you adjust your best to meet its standards. If your 'best' is not good enough to get the visa, you will be denied. If your 'best' is not enough to win the contract, you will lose it. If your 'best' is not what the client is willing to pay for, you will stay broke. Life doesn't pity you because you tried. It only rewards you when you deliver what is required. So, the mantra is not "Do your best". The real mantra for winners, for closers, for people who get things done is: "Find out what is required, and then DO WHAT IS REQUIRED." "Your best" is not the benchmark. The requirement is the benchmark. That "rest" you want to leave? Sometimes, that is where the victory is hiding. That 'rest' is the 5 extra cold calls. That 'rest' is the chapter you were too tired to read. That 'rest' is the skill you've been avoiding. That 'rest' is the territory of your next level. Many times, the "rest" is the gap between your current best and the required standard. So my only admonition for you as you attack the rest of this year is this: Forget "doing your best". That's an average mindset. Instead, adopt a conqueror's mindset. Ask the brutal question: "What is required to win here?" Find the answer. And then, with every fibre of your being, go and do it. Stop leaving the rest. Start conquering it I hope this helps, -Okunade Boluwaduro P.S: Sign up to my mailing list for the full ‘gist’, not all these small snippets, its still FREE: boluokunade.substack.com P.P.S: I have opened shop on whatsapp, join in here and unmute notifications (It’s MUTED by default): https://cutt.ly/boluwhatsapp

I'm still receiving several messages asking for the replay of the wake up session. I'm sorry, you can't get it. I'm not even selling it. I won't reply to any request for it. I mentioned I'll be having a Jara session soon, the link to register will be out soon. If you have to pass through the eye of a needle to be there. Please do. I WILL NOT SHARE THE REPLAY OF THAT SESSION TOO. Happy Sunday to you too 😊

I wrote a very exciting piece on linkedin, I'll usually not explain the concept I explained.... Check it out, and watch the video . Here is the link to the article: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/boluokunade_i-will-usually-not-explain-this-publicly-activity-7344394754287136768-_hls?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAEQRj_gBdcUq2fhVYnUBerVrVZluolgpV0Y Here is the link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFexLpE9b_c

The rules of the money game in Nigeria have just been rewritten. The President signed the new tax laws. Let me ask you a question. Did you know? Of course not. Will you go and find the document and read it? No. But you can give me a detailed, episode-by-episode breakdown of the latest Netflix series, can't you? You spent thirty minutes today in a heated debate about a celebrity who does not know you exist and whose life has zero impact on your bank account. Am I lying? And then you wonder why you can't have conversations with the 1%? You wonder why when you stand before a truly successful person, after "Good morning, sir," your brain freezes and your mouth goes dry? It’s simple. There is no point of convergence. No intellectual handshake. There is no common ground for you and them to stand on because you have told yourself that the things they care about are "not your business." Let me give you a secret: To penetrate high-value networks, you must first learn to speak the language of high-value conversations. You must intentionally invest in understanding the topics that are discussed in the rooms you want to enter. That is how it starts. You offer a sharp, intelligent opinion on the new tax laws. They listen. You share an insight on global economic trends. They take note. Then, and only then, does the conversation shift to, "Ehen, that was a brilliant point. So, what do you do?" Before you know it… GBAM! You've found your angel investor. You've landed the contract that will change your life. You see, you cannot tap into higher networks until you first tap into higher conversations. So, with these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that the roadblock to your progress is not your village people. It is the low-frequency information you feed your mind daily. Am I being harsh? Maybe. But I love your destiny more than I care about your emotions. Oya, go and read, submit your assignment in the comments -Okunade Boluwaduro P.S: Invite your friends to join the channel for free here: bit.ly/boluokunade P.P.S: Join my mailing list, I'm going to share some dense insights in the upcoming weeks: boluokunade.substack.com

In business, there's such a thing as competitive advantage. This is simply the difference you carry,

I've heard many people insinuate that they are trying to "find their purpose", and thus, that's the reason why they haven't started ANYTHING! My response is always the same "While you wait for clarity on the specifics, build the generics" Think of it like your secondary school days. Before you could even dream of becoming a doctor or an engineer, you had to pass the compulsory subjects. English. Maths. Regardless of the course you chose to study, you couldn't do without passing these. That means, if you never knew what you were going to study, you couldn't go wrong studying maths or english... e.t.c. Life is no different. Rather than asking "What can I do", ask yourselves "What can I not do without" So while everyone else is busy "waiting for clarity", you focus on the Generics of Wealth. The non-negotiable skills for the marketplace. I'll give you three. The rest is your assignment. 1 Learn to Sell: Not just products. Sell ideas. Sell visions. Sell yourself. Selling is the engine of all transactions. Master it. 2 Learn to Communicate with Influence: The ability to command attention with your words, written or spoken. To turn passive listeners into active believers. This is not a soft skill; it's a core asset. 3 Attention engineering: To create a river of human attention that flows directly to you. Your own audience. Your own tribe. This is the new real estate. And before you ask the lazy question, "How can I learn these things?", let me remind you that you are alive in the age of infinite information. The entire curriculum is sitting on a free platform called YouTube. The only tuition fee is your time and your refusal to make excuses. Now, go and build. -Okunade Boluwaduro

In the heat of the moment, while trying to beat the clock, I know we rushed through some parts. I'm human. And in that rush, I skipped over a few concepts that are not just important; they are critical. The kind of stuff that connects all the dots. My mind has not been at rest since then because I believe in delivering overwhelming value, not half-measures. So, I've been thinking of doing a 'Jara' Session.... Plus I may speak a bit on Israel-Iran-US shenanigans. The potential implications for Nigeria A power-packed, no-fluff, 1-hour+ session where I give you the balance. The missing keys. The things I believe are absolutely essential for you to have from that training. It's my gift to everyone who registered, to ensure you have the complete arsenal.
