THE CEO INTERVIEW www.ceotodaymagazine.com 16 If you had to start all over again, what is the one thing you’d change? Personal development - spiritually, physically and mentally. I never understood the importance of personal development until I started developing myself as an individual. Everything changed. What’s your biggest regret in business? My biggest regret in business was not knowing that successful people buy themselves a seat on the table. And it took me a long, long, long time to discover that successful people don’t wait to become successful. They make success happen. Why did you choose property as a vehicle for wealth? It’s so simple. Property is the one thing that stands the test of time - we all need a house to live in. Is there another sector you’re interested in? I’m passionate about speaking about success and I’m very passionate about talking about wealth. I would love to be a keynote speaker talking about how anyone can become successful in life, the core principles of success, family well-being, health, spirituality and freedom. What motivates you? The very first thing that motivates me is being able to wake up every morning next to my wife and see my kids around me. This motivates me to do something more creative every day that will challenge me so that I come back home and feel fulfilled. I also love to create opportunities. I’m a creator. So being able to have a conversation that leads to something that creates an opportunity or a great relationship is something I’m very passionate about. And finally, what motivates me every day is the people outside of my family who support me, especially on social media. Me and my business partner connected through social media. A lot of my friends today are people I met thanks to social media. So being able to inspire these people every single day to be the best version of themselves is the reason why I do what I do. My biggest goal in life is to grow myself to become one of the biggest and most influential Nigerians to inspire and transform others’ lives. What’s your favourite book? The best book I’ve read is the 10x Rule. It’s a book that tells you that everything you do in life is good, if you really want to be successful, you should do it 10 times better. If you’re thinking about something once, think about it 10 times. Think about the effort you put into it and multiply it by 10. This is when success will find you. It’s a great book and a great life rule to live by. What advice would you give to your 18-year-old self? Don’t be in a rush and develop yourself. Learn from successful people and ask questions about what they did to become successful and how they did it. What’s one thing that you wish you were better at? I wish I could streamline everything I do and delegate more so other people can fully run my business. I amworking hard at trying to remove myself from being so hands-on. I’m finding it difficult but I’ll get there. Does money equal happiness? Well, I think it’s quite a contradicting topic. The truth is that it’s a no and a yes. The obvious truth is we all get up in the morning, have our showers and go to work to get paid. Right? An entrepreneur sells their product to get paid. So, the realistic truth is that money plays a huge part in your happiness. But I do believe that money has a significant part to play if you want to be happy because you’re not happy when you can’t afford the basic things in life. Nobody’s ever happy that they can’t buy the truly deserved meal that they actually wanted to eat. So overall money plays a part in your happiness but it should never be the end goal. Money can buy you a house but a wife, children, laughter and love are what make it a home.
