"There are no quick wins in business. It takes years to become an overnight success." – Richard Branson.
Since 2002, when I began offering unconventional Excel-VB (& other solutions) in Nigeria’s difficult socio-economic enviroment, I’ve grown my success by creatively applying ideas advocated by Richard Branson, and other authentic achievers.
Especially useful has been his "David vs Goliath" philosophy!
It gave me the confidence I needed to strike out on my own, with my unique brand of smartly priced, yet high profile products and services.
And it has repeatedly enabled me "out market" and "out perform" bigger rivals to win profitable clients/buyers…without needing to spend big. In fact at zero cost sometimes!
I must stress however, that the key to profiting by learning from those who have succeeded (like Branson), is to be willing to CREATIVELY adapt what you learn to suit what will often be your UNIQUE needs.
That is what I have done, and continue to successfully do – in both my personal and work lives. And I have ALREADY begun coaching my kids to emulate me.
"Focus on long-term progress, rather than rapid growth, and you’re more likely to go the distance." – Richard Branson

Below is an image flyer that announces the impending launch of a new range of information products I’ll be putting into the market based on the above.
Photo taken: Wednesday 23rd July 2014 outside a little cafe I periodically work from in Benin Republic’s Cotonou.
I took the above photo just after completing web marketing projects for 2 new clients in Cotonou: a 22 year old private university & a start-up multidisciplinary consulting firm.
Then I checked myself into a hotel to finish off editing and proof reading my new book (Kukuru Danger™: get FREE 20 page PDF preview from here).
2 weeks later, on Thursday 7th August 2014, I arrived Lagos, in Nigeria, to – among other things (like spending time with my family) – fulfil orders placed by 2 Farm CEOs based in Portharcourt, for my Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator.
(Hint: They’d NOT wanted email download links sent to them, and instead paid for courier delivery of the DVD version. I help such buyers save over N6,000 in courier fees by crossing over to dispatch packages from Fedex or DHL offices in Lagos).
Since getting here in Lagos, I’ve continued working on a new Web Marketing System I’m building for an Ota-Ogun State based NGO client.
Soon, I’ll return to Cotonou…
It’s so EXCITING to be able to earn income regardless of my location!
I AM living my dream.
And I NOW offer to help YOU (& also YOUR kids) do the same!
