Don't be carried away with the luxury, plan your life 💯💯💯

He was paying N9,000,000 yearly for 3 bedroom flat in Maitama, Abuja. It was later increased to 10M and he was paying. No savings. No investment. He's working. He believed and depended on his salary. It will surely be coming.

His argument:

"When you live in the neighborhood of big men, you will behave like big men. You roll with big men. Packaging. You network".

His junior colleagues went to the developing areas like Lugbe, FO1 Kubwa, Ushafa and bought lands in the selling estates there.

They used their salary and built to their satisfaction, the kind of house they needed. They also rented the boys quarters and build other commercial houses they rented out.

This man in Maitama was making mockery of those friends of his for living in the outskirts of the city.

He said they live in the village and shouldn't claim they are in Abuja. He always argued that living in the neighborhood of the rich makes you have respect, you network.

Fast forward to the second tenure of Bubu, something happened. The man was sacked.

Remember, for the past 10 years, he has been paying rent between 9M to 10M in Maitama when all his mates became landlords.

His rent is expiring next month, no money to renew it or even get another one.

He told one of his friends — those he laughed at for staying in the village to give him a flat from his house. He sent him the number of the property lawyer.

"Excuse me. You are my friend. You should give me this for free. You know what I am passing through".

His friend replied him:

"Building materials didn't come to me for free. The land I bought wasn't for free. Please, my house has been handed over to a lawyer.

If you need it, call him, he will tell you the price. There are others who need it. I can only convince my lawyer to give it to you because we are friends. So, if you are serious about it, you let me know".

He paused, they paused; both of them paused.

This is not fiction. I know those involved.

Over 10 years of living in the neighborhood of the rich, ọga is still poor.

Think and plan your life. Where you live doesn't matter. What matters is you and the value you create.

THE FASTEST WAY TO KILL YOUR FASHION BUSINESS

Yes I said it… The wrong clients will not only kill your business, they kill the drive and passion you have for fashion.

They kill your motivation and leave you with fears,
They make you doubt your potentials as a human being and as a fashion designer.

They destroy your self confidence and make you scared of looking at your work tools.

They make you panic and tell unnecessary lies.
They are very toxic and self centered humans that are never satisfied even if you cut your neck and serve them… They must complain!

WRONG CLIENTS WILL KILL YOUR BUSINESS, YOU MUST AVOID THEM OR PUT STRUCTURES IN PLACE

I know you will say how will I know that it will end up like this?

The warning signs are always there from the first conversation you had with them but you ignored.

* Toxic Clients Are always in a rush or in a hurry.

* They wear the wrong underwear to take measurements and when you tell them they’ll say “don’t worry take it like that”.

* They know how to sew but they don’t have time to sit down that is why they brought the material you. These set of people make you feel like “it’s a privilege for you to work for them” They under price you.

* They tell you that they have a tailor but they want to try or patronize you… my sister Run 🏃‍♀️

* They talk bad about their previous tailors and start telling you issues that they’ve had with other tailors before you… Hmm Use your brain

* They tell you the style is simple and the price you’re calling is too much….hmmm madam come and sew it by yourself.

* They don’t come for fittings. Hmmm

Look I know customers are always right but you must learn to speak up for yourself… you can only speak up when you have put structures in place.

It doesn’t matter the location you’re at… structure is structure.

Feel free to share your experience with clients like these and how you handled them.

Hello fashionistas I hope this help 🥰🥰🥰
