Transcripts of my visa interview at the US Consular in Lagos in December 2020: a thread 🧶

- Where are you going?

- How did you hear about the school?

- Did you do a Masters?

- So why did you apply for a PhD?

- Are you married?

- Do you have kids?

- Where have you been working

- Do you have your transcript? (Take ALL you documents along! You never know which ones they’ll randomly ask for)

- Have you traveled outside the country before?

- “I’ll be approving your visa. Do you have your reciprocity fee?”

I went to pick up my visa at the DHS office in like three days.

Memorize your answers. Practice and don’t stutter. Be confident!

GRAPHIC DESIGNING FOR BEGINNERS:

HOW YOU CAN BE BETTER AT CHOOSING FONTS. (FREE RESOURCES) 📝✨

- a thread 🧵

📌 | Typography plays a crucial role in design. That’s why selecting an appropriate font is a necessary step for the success of a design.

📍 | It can be a bit tricky. However, under this thread I will share many tried-and-trusted principles that you should keep in mind to make a good font choice.

1⃣ | Consider the branding. The first thing you should keep in mind is the character of your brand.

2⃣ | Good legibility. It's better for a typeface to be readable & legible rather than being unreadable. Your audience should not have to spend extra time trying to understand what's going on.

I've been serious about personal development for 10+ years.

But not just reading...

I've put the concepts to work - we sold our business for 7 figures and built a real estate portfolio worth $100 million +.

Here are a few of my top takeaways:

20% of your customers will produce 80% of your profit.

20% of your customers will also produce 80% of your headache.

The sooner you learn THESE AREN'T THE SAME CUSTOMERS the sooner you can grow, scale AND experience less stress.

99% of people network all wrong.

With their hand out.

Help me. Do this for me. Introduce me. Me me me me!

It’s not about you!

The way to network well:

Get good at something. Put in the work. Add value everywhere you go. Then watch your network explode.

The 4 quadrants of time management concept changed my life.

Urgent + important is where stressed out owners spend their time.

Not urgent + important is where you add long term value to your company and your life. Its also the easiest area to push to the back-burner and ignore.

3 keys to hiring and managing great employees:

#1 Raise your prices (so you can afford them)

#2 Simplify the job so average employees can thrive (and killer employees can crush it)

#3 Give them praise in public (it means just as much as money)
