It Is Not About Who You Know But What You Know.
Add Value To YourSelf And Name Your Price!
People often mistake value to connection; it's not who you know that will make you successful in life but what you know. What do you have? And how many are you willing to give?
We don't become successful by knowing a lot of wealthy men or being known by a lot of them; we become successful by the value we have! What we're willing to give those wealthy men needs a lot.
Literally to be frank with you. Here in Nigeria, you might know Cubana Chief Priest, Obi Cubana, Don Jazzy, E-Money, Davido, Adeleke, Dangote, Otedola, Mike Adenuga, and the rest of Other household names in Nigeria and remain a nobody!
You might as well be networking with those famous priests in Nigeria like: Rev. Fr. Ede, Rev. Fr. Mbaka, Rev. Fr. Ebube Muonso, Rev. Fr. Ejike Nwankwo (A.K.A The Wounded Messiah), and rest of other famous Priests but still no one knows you're into existence.
Not only here in Nigeria, even in other countries. You might be networking with people like: Mark Zukerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and the rest of Other world billionaires and yet; your name is nowhere to be found in the Guinness book of record.
Some of you reading this content have served some of those household names but where are you today? I don't even know your name! Have you seen it? It is your self worth that will make you relevant not your network.
Most people have failed in life because they were busy building a network without adding value to themselves!
You might know all these household names, and also be benefiting from them. Maybe one of them is your relation and he uses his influence to connect you to other household names and you become friends with them. The truth is this: what if something happens along the line and those people you know return back to nothing or they die before you, what will now become your fate? Of course you have to start building another network with the new ones now trending and the truth here is that it might cost you your fortune before they even get to know you. But if you have value which they need so badly, you don't need to panic. You're way covered, you've got what it takes to climb the mountain top and remain there.
Some of those famous musicians today will understand this content better if they can look back to where they began, they will join me saying this: "It is not who you know but what you know."
Most of them were able to climb the ladder of success not because of who they know but what they know. They build themselves, growing in knowledge and understanding, adding more value to themselves and today they're being celebrated.
Most of them were disappointed by who they know, but became great by what they know.
My Prophet will always say to me. "Add value to yourself and name your price." And today I say the same to you darling; stop! looking for connection, build your self! and connection will start looking for you.
No one throws a stone on a mango tree unless he sees a bird or there's some ripe mangoes on it.
