What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The house is already established. Established. Great. So it's basically, for me, this is what I figured out. The fact that you moved away from parents and then went to work under somebody else and they worked you. You worked really hard. I did. That gives you a different type of makeup that you have today. Would you agree?
Yes.
totally agree 100 i'm always confident with that and then you know do you know the do you know the irony of all this yeah my current shop the annex shop is right at my foster mom's junction wow so anytime whenever she's from uk i just walk into her house i give her products and she's always proud of she's always proud of she calls me anytime she comes to check on me anytime
I've asked this question to myself. Why do you think we can have siblings from the same family, but only one or two become financially successful? What's the aspect of the person that becomes that others may not have?
Yes. So when you read the pattern, it all boils down to the upbringing. That is what makes all the difference. because there are some homes you go there and then you realize that they are from a very good home well-educated home and the parents make sure make sure that the kids are well educated they have the knowledge they have the basic understanding to life and they will all be successful in as much as they will 100% not be the same at the level but you realize that if one person is standing at a particular pedestal the spaces between them is not that much it's not that really much and then on the other side if you are from a particular family whereby there's already a kind of tattoo school you are living to and then you get the opportunity or you are graced enough to break out and then be raised from a particular good home
you realize when you come back you stand up you would actually say that you are raised in a in a better home than the home you were born into 100 is it because of the new training you had or because of the money and the exposure this woman had i wouldn't say the money and the exposure but they're training because a lot of people get exposed to money but they don't they don't even have the principles or the discipline to handle the money but i had the opportunity to to see money then also experience discipline right now as i'm sitting here i see money but i'm disciplined on how to handle money because that was how i was raised up with so it is the two components coming together if four more of your siblings were raised by the same woman do you think it would have all been financially absolutely absolutely because my siblings have read we are all hard we are very strong
We are all strong. As I'm speaking to you now, none of us are still not, we are all survivors. They are fighting really hard. And I think lately the narrative has changed. So we are being exposed to a lot of opportunities and they are really doing very well. But the only difference that made me stood out was that I was the last but one of my parents, of my mom, actually. I was the last but one. I was a fifth child of my mom. And then I started experiencing life. Or let me say, I started making money or started business very early. At age 20, 21, I started my own business. And by age 25, I'm driving my first car. I'm getting married. I have my kids. Things moved very fast for me. That was the only factor that made a difference.
But right now, as I'm speaking, my siblings are also doing very well. They are really pushing forward.
So, I was having a conversation with one of my friends, right? And then I said, have you realized that most of the kids in the UK who go to, you know, private schools, you know, private boarding schools, they end up performing really well at a very high stage. Like, the rate at which they perform is really high. And even, you know, in some high level private schools in Ghana, like the school my kids go to, the performance of the class is really high compared to the average government school, comprehensive school. And then I was asking myself, what is it about rich people and wealthy people that they teach children that poor people don't?
