A friend of mine is a millionaire today because he bluffed his way into an $18K contract
He was working a corporate job making around $4K/mo at the time
A company he got connected with needed someone to run their ads. He had never run a single ad in his life
Took the meeting anyway
Used terms he half understood from YouTube videos and nodded seriously at things he absolutely did not understand
They sent him the contract a few hours later
He said he almost threw up when the wire hit his account because he had no idea how to deliver any of it 😂
Spent the next 3 days barely sleeping, pacing around his apartment, opening Chrome tabs trying to learn media buying fast enough to not embarrass himself
Then he found 2 real media buyers, gave them a cut to help do the work, and kept about $7K for himself
That was almost 2 months of salary at his regular job
Client got results.
Referrals started coming in.
Bigger contracts followed
Over time he actually became great at the thing he originally had no business doing
Being delusional and confident at the same time is genuinely undefeated lol

Don't ever in your life underestimate Good health. Health is the real wealth and don't ever take it for granted.

My dad worked two jobs and still studied at the dinner table every night.
That energy filled our house, and it still fuels me every day.
Enthusiasm really is contagious.

Best decisions I’ve ever made was surrendering. Not to say we aren’t capable or gifted, but there’ll come a time when you need to acknowledge that God is engineering, not you. It’s by His grace and mercy that you continue to thrive. All the glory belongs to Him 🙇🏾🤍

Outside, people saw an amazing life. Inside, Desmond Dube says he was dying and did not realise it.
Between about 2011 and 2016 he was making a lot of money doing corporate work, but he was not creating. He opens up about the call with his wife that changed things, finally going to see a psychologist, and why so many creatives lose the child in them when they stop playing.
Catch the conversation, tomorrow at 12PM, on my YouTube channel.

low key, the best time to fall deeply in love is when you’re young. the older you get, the more you learn to calculate risks, guard your heart & question what you once embraced without hesitation.
you become so good at protecting yourself from heartbreak that you slowly lose the courage to love deeply. because at its purest, love requires a certain willingness to look foolish. to give someone the power to hurt you & still believe they won’t.

This makes me cry, my grandfather sold his farm in Nottingham Road in 1975 for R350 000 which now houses, Blueberry Cafe, Netherwood, Windmills Garage and part of Brahman Hills

One of the reasons so many average people stay poor is because they believe they are special. They believe their life is going to magically change because they're going to get a letter in the mail from magic school inviting them on an adventure.
The reality is, we get those letters every single day. They just look like risk and a shitload of work, with no guarantee of a payoff.
