If you've been paying attention to my posts, you would have known where to start by now, but let me repeat it for those at the back. 1. Learn a digital skill. Pick anything that appeals to you and learn. It doesn't matter. Almost every digital skill is worth learning. Pick one and start immediately. 2. Sometimes you don't even need a digital skill. You can start with any skill or knowledge you already have. If you know how to make lash extensions or know a lot about relationships, anything at all. You can start talking about it daily by creating text or video content. 3. Create content. It doesn't matter what you do or know. Talk about it. Write it. Make videos about it. Do it daily. This alone would completely change your life in 6 months if you start today. Geh Geh made a name talking about what? If he can do it, anyone can. If you do nothing and do only this in 2026, by June, your life will completely transform. 4. Learn how to write. Writing is powerful. Writing is my weapon. Writing is all I do on X. This is why people follow me. This is why you're asking me for life advice, and you didn't even know me 3 months ago. You don't even know what I look like, except for a few days ago when I uploaded my picture. Basic grammar, punctuation, and literary devices. Learn these things and how to use them. It will not only improve how you write, but also how you speak and communicate in general. If you can communicate clearly, it will take you far in life. 5. Move fast. Very fast. Have a sense of urgency. Everything you do, never do it slowly. Even how you walk, you must walk with your legs off the ground. Don't drag your feet when walking. Learning a skill? Move fast. Starting a business? Fast! Building a product? You must run like you're being chased. If you don't move fast, someone will overtake you. Will you be the fastest? Maybe not, but at least you won't end last. 6. Build or create something. Big or small, it doesn't matter, but have something you can look at and say I did that. It's the same thing I'm doing with remotah.com, a platform that will completely change how Africans find global remote jobs. We're still letting people join the waitlist, so please tell someone about it. Why am I doing this? I want to build something I can touch or feel, and possibly make an impact. For you, it could be anything. Maybe a business. A book you wrote. Someone you impacted. A new body from your workout at the gym. 7. Do everything with excellence. Honestly, I still struggle with this daily because I feel I should be doing things more excellently. I'm working on it. Everything you touch must show that someone took the time to do it. It was well thought out. It shows detail. Also, when you learn, learn deeply. You must know that thing more than the average person. A plumber? You must be the world's best plumber. A make-up artist? People must see your work and want to lick someone's face. You must know what you know deeply. World-class. Excellence. Nobody should be able to compete with you. 8. Try everything. I tell myself all the time that I don't want to be in my bed in old age, regretting all the opportunities I didn't try, places I didn't go, friends I didn't make, things I didn't learn, products I didn't build. I want to be old, have only good memories, and pat myself daily that I did something. I may not end up as wealthy as I want—a billionaire in dollars, but I'm sure I'll not end up saying it's because I didn't try that idea that's why I never made it. If I never make it, I'll pat myself on the back and say, at least I tried. I gave it my best. I gave it everything I had, and it just didn't work, and that's OK. Sometimes, life is like this. +++++ Have those things at the back of your mind. Work on it daily. Push yourself. Challenge yourself and tell yourself every day that you can be a better version of who you were yesterday. Watch how your life will change. Merry Christmas!

Learn first nah. You've not even started, and you're already thinking of how to make money from it? You're fast, oh! Anyway, if you're going into video editing and money is your motivation, then learn how to edit TikTok-type videos. You know those fast-paced videos with sounds and little effects that are popular on TikTok? That's what you need to learn. Capcut Pro, the laptop version, will make it easier for you. So learn using Capcut. If you can make videos like that, you'll get swamped with gigs, because a lot of people are looking for editors who can do that. The minimum people currently charge for a 60-second reel or TikTok-type video is 15k, with rates up to 150k. This depends on how clean your edits are and how you position yourself. If you land a foreign gig, you should be making up to 1-3k USD monthly.
