Steve Courage

I have this relative who used to HATE me referring to my business as A COMPANY


For example if we had conversation and I said something like;


"My company is looking into doing XYZ"


He would give me a strange look or change the topic immediately.


He is a lot older than me.


He knew when I walked around the street naked


He knew my poor parents


And he knew (or he believed) that I can NEVER build a company.


Especially because the entire thing i used to refer to as a COMPANY only had 2 employees.


His unspoken words to me was; "CALL IT A BUSINESS (maybe you should add small before the business).


Anyway, i continued referring to my enterprise as a COMPANY because that's what i was seeing in my mind.


I kept building, learning and building while I kept him in the dark as per what i was doing


Then, one day he got to know that I was paying millions of Naira in monthly salaries.


He then got to know how many employees I have


Then, he one day saw our monthly revenue.


Ok.
Ok.

Then, he now want me to talk more and more about my COMPANY.


He now believes that I have a COMPANY and he would like me to show him how he could have a company too.


Ok, what is the point of this story?


Well, the first time you share your dream with people, they would think you're out of your mind.


When you share it again, they might hate you (remember Joseph in the Bible?)


Then when they see you pursuing that dream and year after year your result is small, they'll secretly laugh at you.


At this period, they don't want to hear from you that that little seed would one day become a big tree.


NO!


Don't tell them that you'll become a millionaire.


Don't tell them that you'll be a famous writer


Don't tell them that you'll become a national expert because what they're seeing now is the little you and that's what
they believe you'll be FOREVER.



Now if tomorrow you succeed, then, they'll say;


"I've always known that you'll succeed"


Are you waiting for other people to believe in you before you start pursuing your dream?


You'll wait FOREVER.


Are you sad because someone thinks you can't amount to much in life?


Well, stop being sad.


Ignore your doubter.


Stop telling them about your moves


Work hard and learn hard, in secret


Then, one day they'll be shocked that you become who you said you'll become.

So true, I was just even talking to someone about this today.. But personally, I've been at fault with feeling quite sad, my dad has said some hurtful stuffs to me, like how I can never be successful, how I'm nothing and can't ever be anything, he has even in my face said my brother will be greater than me, and what makes this annoying, is that I've never even told him my Dream, all he sees from, is that I do really poorly at school.... Well Mr Steve, your videos inspire moi and ignite my spirit every time... Thank you for everything you've put out to the internet, you teach moi more than school has ever taught me.

The line that motivates me the most is where you said 'you kept him in dark while you were building , learning, building'. The reason I like this part is it tells me I am not wrong. I am that person who gets something like information, knowledge, skill, or happiness I would run to tell others too so that they can benefit. No problem for me if they never shared I always thought it was my responsibility. People had negligible behaviour. I also thought I am selfish if I don't share. Then I learned there is nothing wrong in it, "always". If I don't tell my friends I am learning to cook I thought I am not a good friend or selfish. This line yours help me in strengthening my belief that 'I am not selfish'. It's ok not to share' Thank you❤️ May God bless you ❤️❤️

Never tell anyone your vision and goals. It will just make it harder for you when you keep failing. But you must keep failing more to find true success. Other people will not understand that your failures mean you are actually going to succeed. Just do your thing and let results speak.

I wake up every day to complete with myself,if my haters know my vision, dreams and goals I don't care so much because I am the only person on this earth who can block from succeeding so the haters must be very careful approaching me or attempting to destroy the success I want to attain because I am now lethal entrepreneur.
