Hey Hustler,


How are you doing? You probably would say fine but the reality is that you have doubts. The plan in your head does not align with the reality of your life and you want to keep going on but you don’t seem to see any reason to.

I know how hard it is trust me, I have been there. You have made countless sacrifices, you have worked for free, and you have trusted, you have served, you have listened and you still don’t see any result. I may want to sound like the religious folks in your circle, all they tell you is “it is well” or probably the well wishers who constantly say “Don’t worry”. Truth is, both set of people are right but I am more concerned about you, dear hustler.

Do you believe in the beauty of your dreams, are you honest in your dealings and are you really teachable, who are you listening to and who in heaven’s name is your mentor? A lot of questions that require honest answers.

Who told you, it would happen just like that? Why didn’t they tell you that effort does not equate results? Or did you miss that class? Effort plus consistency plus a lot of failing is the formula you need to see your dreams come to life. It is hard to believe when all your efforts amounts to almost nothing and its hard still when you don’t know how exactly to create consistent effort. I am not here to write ten principles of success; no instead, I want you to see the beauty of your dreams, to dare to keep believing despite the odds.

Dear Hustler, Knowledge is King. The depth of our life is knowledge. It is about the things we know first, then that knowledge translates to action and then we begin to see our life take shape. To ignore knowledge is to be obnoxious and that is when we become blinded to reason and leave our life to chance. The reason, knowledge is king can be summed up in one single sentence, “IF YOU KNOW BETTER THEN YOU WILL DO BETTER.” To seek after knowledge is the key to advancement yet we are drawn to a point of complacency most times. Truth is most times we are blinded by knowledge, because it has the tendency to make us proud and reckless. To believe that we have a mastery of things and we need not quest for more. Knowledge is king yet many do not seek for it.

Dear Hustler, your life worth is measured by your network not just by your net worth, you will have days when you are down to nothing and during those days, your biggest bounce back would be, who you know and what they bring to the table, build relationships.

Let us continue this conversation some other time.....

By the way, I put together a couple of memes, it would help you make sense of your hustle, Stay believing, keep pushing and Please, be good to everyone you meet, consistently sow seeds of kindness, you will eat fruits of greatness.
