Back in university, I met a friend, who was enthusiastic about entrepreneurship. We instantly became friends. Both of us where selling smartphones on campus. However, he liked a lavish and extravagant lifestyle, he shopped from expensive places, used taxis for transportation and liked partying every weekend.
Due, to pressure, I followed suit. Within a short period, we both went broke and could nolonger afford to order new stock of smartphones. Both our businesses got grounded.
To my greatest shock. He called his dad back home, and told his dad about a business he wanted to do. His dad, without hesitation sent him money to start another business.
On another hand, I struggled to get back on my feet. I was dead broke and stranded like osofia in london. Actually some people back home like my grandmother expected me to send them money for medicine. But I could nologer do that as I was dead broke, because I wanted to live like someone who had a well to do background and a large pool of wealth inheritance waiting for him.
Moral of the story.
If you are building wealth from scratch,
1. You can't sleep and wake up at 8hrs like others do.
2. You can't Spend money carelessly like others do.
3. You can't party every other weekend like others do.
4. You can't rent an expensive apartment b4 having sufficient investment, like others do.
5. You can't live a lavish lifestyle like others do.
Because you have no back up or fall back plan. And most likely no one is Coming to save you when you fall.
