Okay, but seriously now, the people who can charge N10M for their services, and actually get paid for it, how did they do it?

Have you thought about it too?

When Dbanj sang “I make 10 Million in a week, are you with me”, I thought he was just bragging.
How nau! 10 Million In a week?

But recently, I’ve been hearing about Artistes’ endorsements all over the place, and the kind of money I hear they are being paid is not mai mai money.
Perhaps! Dbanj was saying the truth.

This really got me thinking.

Is it only musicians that can make 10 Million in a week?

Why can’t I also earn 10 Million Naira in a week?

Heck! I’m not even earning 10M in one year.

Abi is it not in the plan for those of us who are not musicians, comedians, or Nollywood artists to also earn 10M in a week or even in a month?

After all the sufferhead!

• We went to school for four years and read our eyes out
• Some of us have even gone back to school for Masters.
• We have jobs.
•  We wake up early in the morning to get to work on time
•  We sit in traffic every day after work….and yet!!!!!

We don’t make 10M in a year.

Perhaps! We should all pack our bags and move to the reigning industries.

I don’t know why people laugh when I say I want to go into Nollywood

I’m serious and I’m not even joking at all…*straight face*

Okay, but seriously now, the people who can charge N10M for their services, and actually get paid for it, how did they do it?

Is it talent? I don’t think so, because many other people are even more talented and they don’t command this kind of fees.

Is it luck? I don’t think so too.

I thought and thought, and I eventually found the answer.

Pick one thing, and get so good at it, such that people can pay you any amount for the value you can give to them.

Truth is, there are many other people who can make 10M in a week apart from musicians.

They all know the same thing that we’ve missed…while we were busy doing everything else.

Pick one thing, anything at all, as far as it is something people can pay for and gradually build competence in it.

Never stop learning, keep perfecting your work.

One day, you will wake up, and you will be worth 10 Million Naira or more in a week.

It does not happen overnight, and the early you start, the earlier you’ll get there.

Get started today, the world is waiting for you.

With Love,

Stephanie
