Yesterday, I had a chat with a little friend of mine who just finished serving her father’s land. In the course of our conversation, I asked her, what’s next? She said she is making plans to relocate to Lagos, that is where she can make it.
And I asked her, Waje that announced her retirement as a musician for fear of being tagged unsuccessful artiste, doesn’t she live in Lagos the headquarters of entertainment in Nigeria?…she was quite.
The reason most talented people end up unsuccessful is because of the concept following trends…Yes! everybody is relocating to Lagos, everybody is relocating to Hollywood.

If you want a record breaking success, take a record breaking decision that will make people think you have lost it, a decision to build from nothing, a decision to embrace what others are running from.
It is your AIM in life that determines your END in life NOT your LOCATION.
