I made my first 10 Million Naira ever in the music business.
It was a single payment for an influencer deal.
Here's a quick story on how I invested it.
When you finish this thread, you will know the MISTAKES you must avoid, so you don't lose all your money.
MUST READ🧡
I woke up one morning to a single 2-line message from my manager.
The text read:
β€œEva, they agreed.
10 Million.”
As a music artist and influential personality, it is not uncommon to get these types of deals.
But for me, it was foreign.
It was my very first!
I remember feeling β€˜rich’.
I had finally made it. I was a millionaire.
I had worked hard to build my brand as an artist, and my team had been most helpful.
We deserved this payment.
I immediately began to imagine all the things I could do with that money.
I remember the pictures of all the possibilities flooding my mind.
I could:
β€’ move from my 1-bedroom apartment
β€’ buy something nice for my parents
β€’ send money to my siblings
β€’ travel if I wanted
Heck! I could live a little.
But that was only the beginning. Trouble loomed
When you go from not having money, to suddenly having a lot of it, you’d feel like no one can stop you.
Money inflates your ego and gives you wings.
Money makes the little impossibilities possible.
But so many people unprepared for money, get trapped.
I was trapped long before that 10 Million Naira hit my account.
I had mentally spent half of it before I signed the deal.
So when the money came, I began to spend like crazy.
Unconsciously.
I sent money to my parents
I sent money to my siblings
My aunty had a baby, I sent her money
I refurnished my apartment
I paid my team
I went shopping
..on and on until I had spent it all and invested zero percent.
I was financially foolish πŸ₯΄
Financial increase without financial intelligence is a recipe for going broke again.
This is why most people who get a lot of money, lose it again and are back to where they started.
Or worse.
In all your getting, get Financial Intelligence.
Money comes to be used.
If you don’t prepare well for money and give it work to do intentionally, it will employ itself.
Money unassigned will grow wings and take off from its owner to one who can bargain for it.
Having money immediately opens up doors to new, unplanned expenses
You are influenced by:
β€’ shiny new things
β€’ unfulfilled needs
β€’ people wanting handouts
β€’ an intrinsic need to be charitable
β€’ urgencies that are not as important as they appear
don’t believe this shit.
Money alone doesn’t make you Rich.
Yes money is important, but a rich life includes:
β€’ health
β€’ security
β€’ work you enjoy
β€’ a grateful heart
β€’ loving relationships
β€’ freedom of expression
β€’ meaningful experiences
β€’ usefulness in the world
β€’ the capacity to help others
Giving money to someone with a broke mindset will only buy them time.
They will go broke again without effort. You cannot grow beyond your mind.
I have been broke and I have had a lot of money.
Every time, the difference has been:
β€’ my capacity to create value
β€’ my ability to sell my services
β€’ my untamed desire to succeed
β€’ my willingness to start from where I am
You’ll make money if you understand this and apply.
Schools prepare you for employment.
They do not prepare you for a wealthy life
If you want to earn, save, invest and use your money wisely, you must increase your financial intelligence.
- Decide
- Read books
- Find mentors
- Take courses
- Study like crazy
- Learn how to sell
If you want to learn how money works, here are 7 books I recommend:πŸ“š
β€’ The Secret
β€’ Rich Dad, Poor Dad
β€’ Think and Grow Rich
β€’ The Psychology of Money
β€’ The Richest Man in Babylon
β€’ Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
β€’ The Greatest Salesman in the World
The Secret to having more money is in learning how to
- make it
- invest it and
- keep more of it than you spend
βœ” Improve your skills
βœ” Cut your expenses
βœ” Invest in things you know
βœ” Learn what you don’t know
βœ” Make yourself irreplaceable
βœ” Keep your eyes on the numbers
I don’t know everything, but I am choosing to learn every day.
I still make little poor decisions with my money, but I am not as poor as I used to be.
If any big money misses road and drops on my lap right now, I know EXACTLY what to do with it.
Don’t be like the old me.❌
