There is no Success without Struggle



Be motivated and never say never. Your dreams may seem impossible but its 

better to say I tried than what would have been....

Now read this...

MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a 
time when Nigeria did not have phones. Even Zenith bank refused to loan MTN 
cash to operate, UBA rejected MTN's offer but today see the difference.
At least, we all know the story of the only civilian unelected President in 
Nigeria - Goodluck Jonathan. We know how the people said he was not going to 
be President; they even made him acting-President. Today,  the rest is 
history.
What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria, they made milk in a sachet, 
Peak was laughing at them - they said Cowbell was milk for the poor - but they 
were right! 3million poor people could afford N10 a day for a sachet of milk. 
When you do the math - 3million people buying milk at N10.00 that was N30 
million every single day. In a month, they grossed N900million(almost 
N1billion). Even Peak, had to make sachet milk in order to survive the market.
Another intresting story is the founder/CEO of WhatsApp who was turned down 
from a job in 2009 by Facebook and decided to start WhatsApp. Facebook bought 
WhatsApp from him in 2014 for $19billion and made him a Vice President. As of 
October 2014, he is worth $7.5billion.

So what have people told you? What have they said you cannot do or you do not 
qualify ? They told Cowbell, they told Goodluck, they told MTN, they told Jan 
Koum, but today the story has changed. I have a feeling something is changing 
for you today! They will change their strategies just to keep in step with 
you. Don't listen to what people are saying or what life is showing you. YES, 
YOU CAN. Success is not about where you graduated from, or what grade you 
graduated with, but what graduates out of you.
Keep the spirit UP.


Be Inspired as we dey inspire.....
