***The Responsibility Threshold***

There is a point where helping others begins to damage your stability, mental health, and future capacity to help sustainably. That point is the responsibility threshold.

You may have exceeded your responsibility threshold, that is, financially overloaded if:

- You cannot save consistently
- Emergencies create panic
- Debt increases while supporting others
- Resentment is growing
- You feel constant financial exhaustion
- Your [own] goals are permanently delayed

This chapter is not encouraging selfishness; it is encouraging sustainability. People who collapse financially eventually lose the ability to help anyone effectively.

Excerpt from the book, You’re Not Poor. You’re Just Broke. Deal With It.

Let me say something that may sound uncomfortable.

The problem is not just unemployment; it is unprepared talent.

Many people are looking for jobs, but are not ready for work. On the other side, many businesses are looking for people, but struggle to find reliable, competent, and structured individuals.

So we have a gap. Not just in opportunity, but in readiness.

Employability is not just about having a certificate, learning a skill, and attending a training. It is about discipline, responsibility, communication, problem-solving, and consistency.

These are the things that make someone valuable in a real work environment. And until more people focus on this, the gap will remain.

Over the next few days, I’ll be breaking this down from both sides:

- For individuals trying to grow
- For businesses trying to build effective teams

This conversation needs balance.

"What have you done with what you have...?"

This is a question I ask almost every founder that crosses paths with me.

Not every business problem needs immediate funding. Some need thinking.

There’s a growing habit, especially among early-stage founders, to look for money as the first solution.

Funding is not a strategy; it’s a tool: in the wrong hands, at the wrong time, it becomes a distraction.

Before you raise capital, answer this honestly:

- Have you sold anything yet?
- Do you understand who your real customer is?
- Can your business survive without external funding today?

If the answer is no, then funding won’t fix it, it will only delay the lesson.

Bootstrapping forces you to:
- Focus on what truly matters
- Build lean and efficiently
- Develop real market insight
- Earn your growth, not outsource it

This is especially critical for:
- Nano businesses finding their footing
- MSMEs refining operations and structure
- Creatives turning skill into income
- Artisans building consistency and scale

Many founders don’t fail because they lacked money. They fail because they lacked understanding.

Capital amplifies whatever already exists. If clarity is missing, confusion grows faster.

So instead of asking, “How do I raise money?”

Start asking, “How do I make this business work with what I already have?”

Build proof.
Build process.
Build resilience.

Then, when the time is right, funding becomes leverage, not lifeline.

Some collaborations are exciting. Others are necessary. Fund My Hustle was both.

When Ajikere K. Henry and Konyefa Felix Ebiasuode first shared the idea, it was an instant yes for me. Not because we needed another programme, but because we need more intentional interventions that actually move small businesses forward.

So we got to work.

In early April, we opened applications for small business owners, freelancers, and solopreneurs to pitch for the Fund My Hustle Business Grant.

On April 9th, over 60 participants showed up.

Different industries and stages, but one shared reality: they needed support to move forward.

What stood out wasn’t just the need for funding, it was the deeper gaps: Structure. Clarity. Direction.

And we addressed that head-on.

Every single person who pitched left with something more valuable than money:

- Clarity on their business model
- A better understanding of their customer
- Practical tools for structuring and accountability
- A clearer path to growth

Two days later, on April 11th, we reconvened, not just to teach, but to activate support.

- 10 businesses received a total of ₦1,400,000 in nano grants.
- Several participants secured instant contracts.
- New partnerships and networks were formed.
- Opportunities for patronage worth millions were unlocked.

Every business that pitched got something.

Beyond the numbers, this is what matters:

We are shifting mindsets, from survival to structure. From hustle to systems. From daily income to long-term value creation.

The real goal is not just to fund businesses.
It is to help build businesses that outlive the founders.

That is how ecosystems grow.
That is how legacies are built.

Fund My Hustle was a shared vision powered by Drixta Foundation (Henry Ajikere), with support from GetAdvantage Consulting Ltd, V.I.K Pharmacy, Jokel Consults, and other committed partners.

And we’re not stopping here.

All participants are now in a 60-day mentorship and support cycle, focused on ex*****on, accountability, and measurable progress.

Looking back, I’m not just excited about what we did. I’m even more excited about what this will become.

If we’re serious about MSME growth, then we must go beyond funding, we must build capacity, structure, and sustainability.

On to the next.

Happy new week. How are you doing today?

13/04/2026

Let me tell you something I see very often.

A young graduate finishes school.

NYSC done or almost done, then reality hits:

No job.
No clear direction.
Pressure from family.
Confusion everywhere.

So what happens?

They start trying everything.

Apply here and there.
Learn one skill today.
Drop it tomorrow.
Jump to another thing next week.

Busy, but not progressing.

I’ve seen this pattern too many times, and the turning point is usually simple:

Clarity + Structure.

Once the person identifies what they are actually good at, chooses a direction, focuses on one or two relevant skills, and stays consistent.

Things start changing. Not overnight, but steadily.

Confidence improves.
Communication improves.
Opportunities start coming.

The difference is not luck. It is direction.

If you feel like you are trying hard but not moving forward; you may not need more effort.

You may need more clarity.

Many people think leadership starts when they get a title: Manager, Team lead, or Supervisor.

Nope. Real leadership starts before that.

Leadership is not a position; it is behaviour.

You are already showing leadership when you:

- Take responsibility without being forced
- Solve problems instead of complaining
- Support others and add value
- Stay consistent even when no one is watching
- Take initiative instead of waiting for instructions

In the workplace, people are observed before they are promoted. If you cannot lead yourself; it is difficult to lead others. So, instead of waiting for a position, start building leadership now.

Opportunities don’t just look for skilled people. They also look for people who can be trusted with responsibility.

There is a seed of leadership in everyone of us. Some people feed it until it becomes a big tree, and eventually a forest. Others simply allow it to die.

Which are you doing now?

FACEBOOK LIVE SESSION ON CAREER CLARITY & GROWTH

From my experience engaging young people, I can say that many are not lazy; they are just confused. They don’t know: what they are good at, what path to choose, and what to focus on. They have been sold the narrative, "...don't put all your eggs in one basket" from the wrong perspective.

Tomorrow, I’ll be going live to break this down.

We’ll talk about:
- How to identify your strengths
- How to choose a career direction
- How to start building real progress

If you feel stuck or uncertain about your next step in your career journey, this session is for you.

Time: 5pm (WAT)

You move from confusion to direction.
Come with your questions.

What do people usually come to you for help with?

One of the biggest reasons people struggle in their careers is this:

They don’t know their strengths.

So they try everything, get confused, and make little progress.

If you want to grow, you need clarity.

Start with these three questions:

1. What comes naturally to you?
What do people often ask you for help with?

2. What have you done repeatedly?
Skills grow through repetition, not intention.

3. Where have you seen results?
Even small wins matter. They show direction.

Your strengths are usually hidden in your experience, not your assumptions. Once you identify them: build on them, refine them, and position them.

The workplace rewards people who are clear about their value.

Stop trying to be everything.
Start becoming something specific.

Get your SWOT right!

Most people treat headaches, colds, catarrh, and dizziness as “the problem.”

They’re not. They’re signals, warnings, and surface-level expressions of something deeper that hasn’t been addressed.

Yet what do we do?

We buy painkillers and rest for a bit. Maybe try a home remedy. The symptoms fade temporarily and then return, sometimes worse. The real issue is still sitting quietly underneath, growing.

Now, bring this into business.

Poor sales.
Unhappy customers.
Team members leaving.
Low productivity.
Operational chaos.

These are not always the real problems.
They are symptoms, and here’s where many business owners get it wrong:

They spend time, money, and energy “treating” these symptoms, running promos to fix sales, hiring more staff to fix inefficiency, introducing new tools to fix productivity.

If the underlying structure is broken, those efforts are like taking painkillers for a deeper illness.

They provide temporary relief, but no lasting solution.

In my experience, many business challenges rise and fall on one thing: structure.

- Undefined roles lead to poor accountability
- Weak processes create inefficiency
- Lack of clear strategy affects sales and growth
- No systems = inconsistent customer experience

So before you rush to “fix” anything in your business, pause and ask:

Is this truly the problem, or just a symptom?
What keeps triggering this issue repeatedly?
Where is the structural gap?
What needs to change at the foundation, not just the surface?

A simple exercise you can try today:

1. Pick one persistent issue in your business (e.g. low sales).

2. Ask “why?” five times, each answer should go deeper than the last.

3. Map where the breakdown happens (people, process, or strategy).

4. Identify one structural fix, not a quick patch, you can test this week.

You’ll often find the real problem isn’t where you’ve been looking.

Fixing symptoms keeps you busy.
Fixing structure moves you forward.

If you’re serious about growth, start diagnosing better, not just reacting faster.

Getting invited for an interview is an opportunity, but many people lose it at that stage. Not because they are not qualified, but because they are not prepared.

Some of the common mistakes I see happen include poor communication, lack of confidence, not understanding the role, giving vague or generic answers, and inability to explain their value.

An interview is not a test of memory; it is a test of clarity, confidence, and value.

Before you go for an interview, you should be able to answer:

Who are you professionally?
What can you do?
How have you applied your skills?
Why should we choose you?

Preparation matters.
Research the organisation.
Understand the role.
Practice your responses.

In that moment, you are not just speaking, you are positioning yourself.

What do you find most difficult about interviews?
