From importing surgical masks during COVID to building multiple businesses across continents, and why the brutal truth about getting unstuck is that you can't just sit there like a pigeon waiting for someone to put you on because there's something you can put yourself on when you first stand up trust your guts and go out and surround yourself with sharks who are successful people with problems that need solving and every person on earth has a problem even God has issues trying to make children on earth not sin which is why preachers arise providing solutions to God's problems and that's why He blesses them, the young entrepreneur who discovered that to import a whole box of surgical masks during COVID cost less than a dollar but one single mask was selling for 20 cedis in Ghana proving the system does not support local produce in any sector whether health or agriculture because local products are always more expensive than imported ones, the businessman who brought masks into Ghana and watched the price drop from 20 cedis to 5 cedis then 2 cedis then 1 cedi while still making profit showing how predatory pricing works when someone enters the market with better connections and fair pricing, the founder of Mahema and Viet Star brands who considers himself a custodian of people's money because people give him money to do business with them for them and he receives calls from people in Ghana and beyond across Africa in Congo who come with their fathers wanting to do business but don't know what to do with their money, the shock who treats clients and partners fairly making all the people who have investments in his company multi millionaires who have got a lot of money and are very successful but still have problems because it is never enough for humans we need more which translates to the local dialect as even raising the sea, the wisdom that when you find that shock and you find his problem trust me it works because you're already selling and it is working when you don't have anybody younger than you who has given you money because you need to know what you're going to do with that, the advice to people who feel stuck and don't know what to do which means you don't have any source of income you don't have a job you don't even have anything like you're just there like a pigeon saying Charlie put me on put me on put me on when there's something you can put yourself on, the strategy that somebody must know somebody definitely somebody knows somebody so go step up try and build connections and when you meet a shock find out their problem personal problem or business problem because there's no successful person on this planet that doesn't have a problem, the approach to not quickly just jump on the shock saying hello my name is but instead take your time it may take you being like a month two three months because people like him when he meets new people he takes time before he gets them in and it mostly they never even come because they haven't given him a solution to something that he's facing, the value you need to bring to the shock you meet so when you get out there in search of something for yourself and you get the opportunity one time pick and ask of their problems or just try and find out in conversation what the challenge is even if you don't have the solution because once you hear the challenge your action and attempt in trying to help them will already win their trust, the relationship building where you nature it saying hello hi were you able to get this done because trust me we need each other you need someone's shoulders to stand on someone needs to hold your hands someone needs to pull you and those people they need to know the value of why they're pulling you.
