HOW TO ATTRACT VALUABLE PEOPLE INTO YOUR LIFE

I have a friend who is quite well to do financially. I remember in our early days of friendship, whenever we talked, the way he talked if you didn't understand him, you would think he's arrogant or proud.

While I was not as well to do as he was, I never misconstrued the things he shared with me. In fact, I welcomed them, listened carefully, and enjoyed every bit of our conversations.

See, I was in an intentional process of working on my money/financial mindset at the time. So, I was like a sponge, soaking in all he had to say because I knew I had so much to learn from him if I was going to get to where I wanted to be financially.

I never argued, I just listened and learned. Sometimes, on the other end of the phone, I was taking notes.

Days, months, and years have gone by and I've since realized my money mindset has changed a lot because of our friendship, and other people like him in my life.

His mindset has rubbed off on me. Now, we think alike financially, whereas, at the beginning, it was not so.

Why am I sharing this with you? For three reasons...

1. The people you move with determines what you attract or repel in your life.

If you move with the right people, you will attract the right things and develop the right mindset. If you move with the wrong people, you will also attract the wrong things and the wrong mindset, and it's only a matter of time, you'd be doomed.

2. No one is better than you, they are only doing better.

So, when you meet people who are doing better than you, grab your pen and journal, it's a season of learning. You will do yourself a disservice trying to compete with them or become jealous or envious of them.

Whatever price you need to pay to glean from them and be in their presence/circle, please pay it. One hour with such people can save you one year of stress and hustling.

3. Be intentional about working on your mindset every single day.

This will help you become intentional about the people you meet. You immediately know who should mentor you, who should be your friend, and who you should mentor too.

This will also help you in developing yourself into a person of value capable of attracting other valuable people too.

I believe in you.

No Golden Spoon, Yet Helped By God

May 5, 2025
Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
