Would you invest in You Ltd?


What if your future depends less on chance, and more on how you treat yourself today?

Dear Reader,

I’ve learned something simple but uncomfortable:

The market doesn’t reward potential.
It rewards readiness.

On the surface, it looks like success arrives when someone chooses you — the promotion, the client, the big break. But the real turning point happens earlier. It’s the moment you decide to invest in yourself before anyone else does.

In 2021, I was on a safe career path. No urgency. No obvious gap. I still hired a business coach. Not cheap. Not convenient. Not guaranteed. But if my name were on a pitch deck, I knew I’d want to be the first investor in Me Ltd.

That choice changed my posture. I stopped waiting to be chosen, and started moving as if the opportunity had already arrived.

Here are the same three moves you can make:

  1. Audit your pitch.
    If your name were a company, would you invest? If not, close the gap. Skills. Habits. Resources. Write them down.
  2. Place a visible bet.
    Build the prototype. Fund it, even in small amounts. Share it once. Sell it once. Proof beats intention.
  3. Move like it’s here.
    Preparation changes how you walk into rooms, and people notice.

This week’s reflection is about shifting from waiting to preparing. You can watch the full 12-minute episode here → https://youtu.be/eMEP2AwJ6R8

Your challenge:
What’s one small, visible bet you can place on You Ltd this week?

When you back yourself visibly, you send a signal — not just to others, but to your own mind — that your future is worth backing.

Quiet excellence is often missed because it isn’t legible. Dear Reader, A senior manager once skimmed my CV and said, “I can see what you did. I can’t see what it was worth.” It stung—because it was true. Many leaders scan fast; if the value isn’t obvious, they move on. Research shows initial resume screens can take only a few seconds, which means clarity has to hit immediately. Maybe you’ve felt this too—pages of precise tasks, yet the impact gets lost in the noise. The fix isn’t hype. It’s...

How to Get Noticed at Work

Maybe your best work is still sitting in a 60-page report. Dear Reader, If you’ve ever thought, “I did the work—why does no one see it?” you’re not alone. Most leaders won’t read the report you spent days perfecting. They scan in seconds, looking for the decision line and the signal that matters right now. That’s why I use a simple packaging rule that changed my career: 1–6–2. 1 page for leaders – the decision, the context in one breath, and the impact. 6 slides for peers – problem → approach...

Dear Reader, The restaurant was loud. My hands were shaking... I slid a four-year plan across the table. July 2008. Final year of university in Owerri, Nigeria. I was broke and short on prospects—except for one thing: a North Star I could see so clearly it felt like memory. In my notebook I wrote a page titled “Four-Year Plan” It had five elements: Win a scholarship Study abroad Work for two years and save Return to Nigeria and marry my sweetheart Bring her abroad—all within four years We’d...
