Unlock Wealth: The Warrior's Path to Making Money - Moses B Arthur

Imagine transforming your life not by chasing success, but by embodying it. In this riveting conversation, real estate developer and entrepreneur Moses B Arthur (MBA) unveils the mental framework that propelled him from humble beginnings to commanding million-dollar projects.

MBA introduces his revolutionary "RAE Model" (Revelation, Assimilation, Elevation) as the blueprint for personal transformation, explaining how proper programming of your mind directly shapes reality. "Your programming leads to your thoughts. Your thoughts lead to your feelings. Your feelings lead to your actions. Your actions become your reality," he reveals, offering listeners practical tools to reprogram limiting beliefs through verbal declarations, processing experiences, and strategic modeling.

The discussion challenges conventional wealth-building wisdom with MBA's provocative stance that "anything money can buy, relationships can buy ten times over." Through vivid examples from his journey developing AfriMat Atlantic properties, he demonstrates how social capital opened doors financial resources couldn't, particularly when strategic relationships connected him with industry leaders who accelerated his growth.

Perhaps most compelling is MBA's framework for desire transformation—moving from merely wanting success to choosing it through research and planning, and finally committing through sacrifice and action. This progression illuminates how dreams become reality through disciplined, consistent effort rather than sporadic motivation.

Whether you're building a business, pursuing financial independence, or seeking personal growth, this conversation offers a masterclass in mindset transformation. As MBA powerfully states, "You don't need to be a billionaire to speak as a billionaire, because when you meet a man and you're able to get what is in his head, you can produce what is in his pocket."

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your mind is God's biggest gift he has given you.
You don't need to be abillionaire to speak as a
billionaire, because the thingis that when you meet a man and
you're able to get what is inhis head, you can produce what
is in his pocket.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
The first business that failed.
Why did it fail?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Like I said, the gaps in our understanding is
oftentimes what is responsiblefor the fluctuations in our
results.
So if you're unable to makeconsistently $1,000 a month,
there's a gap in yourunderstanding concerning making
money.
Now, the thing with a lot ofpeople is that when they think
about their dreams, the firstthing they've been programmed
with their mind is that theirmind shuts them out.

(00:38):
That's my RAE RevelationAssimilation, Elevation.
It's the reason, reason I tellyoung people don't go chasing
after things.
Whatever you chase after, youdon't find.
You need to explain that.
So our parents have beenchasing money their whole lives.
They never found the money theywere chasing.
So don't chase money.
Anything that money can buy canbuy 10 times.

(01:02):
You are very poor if all youhave in your life is money when
your time has not come and youdon't have financial resources.
Build, Build, Build.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
So you're welcome to Connected Minds Podcast.
My name is Derek Abaite andtoday's conversation is with
Moses B Arthur.
Everyone calls him MBA.
In Ghana, he's an entrepreneurand a real estate developer.
He's currently have got severalprojects ongoing.
I love this man so much becausethe age that he is and what

(01:42):
he's been able to achieve so farfor himself is marvelous.
It's something that a lot ofyoung people are learning from.
Recently, he filled up the UPSAOver 3,000 young people that
went to hear him speak empoweredthem, and he had other speakers
with him.
This conversation is simplyabout the mindset, success

(02:03):
principles, what you need toactually make it in this life.
He blends scripture with wealthconcepts and I want to hear all
of it.
I've got several questions forhim and the many that my viewers
and my listeners have also sentover.
He's probably one of the mostrequested guests on the podcast,

(02:25):
and the reason is very simplebecause of what he does and the
community of giants that he'sraising.
You're welcome to this podcast,my brother.
How are you doing?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Thank you so much, derek.
I'm doing amazing.
How are you?
I'm blessed, awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think this is the best introduction I've ever done
.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
It came from your heart, from the depth of my
heart.
You know, Wow yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I'm even pleased with myself.
So, wherever you are, you knowif you're jogging, if you're at
work, driving to work, we thankyou for tuning in to this
podcast and if there are peoplein your circle you can share
this with, please do.
And, as usual, you know.
If you make it to the end onYouTube, let me know, Leave a

(03:09):
comment.
And yeah, I appreciate you guys.
You filled up the EPSA.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
By the grace of God, and a good team.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
You made it look like a walk in the park.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Good preparation prevents poor performance.
So if it looked like a walk inthe park, it was because there
was a lot of thoughts, there wasa lot of planning, there was a
lot of efforts that went into it.
So that's usually the outcomeof doing something good.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
We were supposed to have this conversation earlier
that's right when we startedthis podcast much, much earlier,
doing something good.
You know, yeah, we weresupposed to have this
conversation earlier that'sright when we started this
podcast Much, much earlier Ithink more over eight months ago
, mm-hmm, and it didn't happenbecause you were busy traveling
around Africa and many parts ofthe world.
You know, as a knowledgemerchant, mm-hmm.
Now I usually say that when aconversation doesn't happen,

(04:06):
it's good because, when iteventually happens it's usually
the best time, that's right.
You know we are not in charge ofthe universe, that's true.
You know there's something thatis working in our favor.
So once again, I appreciateyour time.
Most welcome, my brother.
You have three books so far andI'm sure you're still working
on the rest and I've got mycopies here.

(04:28):
Thank you so much for giving methese right, but this is where
I want to start.
Okay, your backstory intobecoming an entrepreneur take me
through that um, it's, it's,it's an interesting one.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Um, I come from a very humble background, moses B
Arthur.
So the B is brain two, braintwo means a warrior, brain two
means a fighter.
My mother had carried me for 11months, two weeks, and so she
finally put to bed and my father, having seen everything, my
mother had gone through because,per the natural law of things,

(05:05):
a woman is supposed to carry achild for nine months.
But here was this womancarrying me for 11 months, two
weeks, and on the 5th of April1996, it was 12 minutes past 12
midnight and she put to bed.
So my father, having seeneverything, called me Brentu.
Brentu means a warriorintumeans a warrior, brintu means a
fighter.

(05:25):
So innate in my soul is thatfighting spirit that I'm on the
edge to go, on the edge to breakthe status quo.
I think it comes naturally withme and usually when people ask
me what my superpower is, I saythat I think God just gave me
that, you know, as a gift,because I've been fighting from
the womb and I made it into thisplace.

(05:47):
So I come from Inche, in theWestern region, and my
entrepreneurial journey started.
I think I observed that traitright from university, where I
realized that I'm always lookingout for opportunities, and you
usually will not spotopportunities with your eyes,
you spot away your mind.
So I'm always looking out forwhat I can do to, you know, add

(06:09):
value to myself and, byextension, add value to the
people around me.
So and I'm one who is always onthe quest, I'm a seeker, so I'm
always on the quest for newknowledge.
I'm always on the quest for thenext big thing to do so.
In university second year Iread development planning in
KNUSD.
So in my second year inuniversity, I had a friend

(06:33):
called Yao who mentioned to mecryptocurrency and I said what's
that?
And he said cryptocurrency isthe next big thing.
So when he said that, I waslike okay, and I didn't know
anything, I just went all outand then I said, okay, then
let's set up something calledpara deliveries and coinbase.
So para deliveries and coinbasewas my first business.

(06:54):
My very good friend, gilbertkuku godwill and he's still a
very good friend of mine he'sthe one who did my first um, you
know, para deliveries andcoinbase logo for me.
That's when I even got to knowthat there's something called
brand manual, because I went tohim and said do a logo for me,
and then he said you have tocreate a brand manual.
I said what was that?
Then he taught me.
I said oh, I see.

(07:15):
So to date, I have paradeliveries and Coinbase brand
manual.
It's still there.
So that was my first businessthat actually failed, and it
didn't do well because the thethings that I know now that has
shaped my becoming, is not whatI knew then.
So I decided to pay attentionto knowledge.
I knew about bitcoin andeverything, but I didn't even

(07:36):
give it much attention, you knowas of that time, and then it
failed.
So in 2017, when I completedknstD, right in the university
years, I'd come to a car, attendconferences.
I remember I attendedenterprise Africa summit at
Kempinski.
I left school and came for thatevent and it was my upkeep

(07:56):
money I used in purchasing thetickets to come for that event.
And when I came, I saw a lot ofyoung people doing stuff.
So so I'm like I'm young.
What is stopping me from doingthings?
And here's to just say a thingto young people it takes time to
build great things.
So start early.
When you start early, you makeall the necessary mistakes that
you make, and then you keeplearning on the go.

(08:19):
So 2017, I was 21 years, I hada knack for speaking and I'm
like okay, foundationally Irealized that my pattern in life
as a kingdom entrepreneur Jesus, the biggest brand in the world
lived for people.
So if I want to do this thingand take it on as a career, then
I have to live for people, andso I started Entrepreneurship

(08:41):
Hub Africa, which was a flagshipevent of City Broadcast.
My second company then, cityBroadcast, was a digital
marketing company, soEntrepreneurship Hub Africa was
its flagship event.
Then I later changed and thenmade Entrepreneurship Hub Africa
a full non-profit.
So it's a non-profit with avision to inspire the next

(09:01):
generation of trailblazers tothink bigger, dream louder and
act bolder.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Let me take you back Right, the first business that
failed.
Why did it fail?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Like I said, I didn't have much knowledge about the
whole cryptocurrency game, soall I thought was you'd have a
logo, and then I didn't evenregister the company with RGD.
I didn't do that.
I just had the logo in my housewhere I'd rented at a time in
school.
I quickly set up a table.

(09:33):
I think I have those picturesstill on my socials.
I set up a table.
We did some photo shoot.
I thought that was what thebusiness was.
So that actually informed myfirst book, the Entrepreneur's
Journey an ideal startup guide.
Because from that experience Ifound out I know the gaps in our
understanding is oftentimeswhat is responsible for the

(09:54):
fluctuations in our results.
So if there's a certainfluctuation in your results, it
means there's a gap in yourunderstanding concerning that
particular results you want tosee.
So if you're unable to makeconsistently $1,000 a month,
there's a gap in yourunderstanding concerning making
money.
So you need to go back and thenbuild capacity for it.
So I found out that I didn'tknow as much about

(10:16):
cryptocurrency as I was justexcited about the idea, which is
what a lot of young people dotoday.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
So you know sometimes what happens, right, what
happens.
So there's a full method.
If I tell you that to be ableto produce sodium chloride you
need to follow this full method,and then you read one, two,
three and you don't finish it,you will not be able to produce
sodium chloride.
Sometimes, as young people andyou might be able to attest to
this that we get information, wedon't consume all the

(10:46):
information.
As soon as we see a few lineswe get excited like at this
point.
Somebody's probably going to logoff this conversation and will
not finish exactly the wholeconversation and they'll be like
oh yeah, I've got it, I'm going.
But then what you don't realizeis, like you know, it's like
buying a new flat-packed tableInstead of reading the manual to
fix it.

(11:07):
You don't.
Then you start doing a wholelot of things Before you make
mistakes.
Then you go back to reading it.
You think some of these thingshappened in your first business,
yes.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
So from that experience I have a model.
I call it the RAE model.
So you need to come into aplace of revelation, which is
knowledge.
Then you assimilate.
When you come into a place ofknowledge or revelation and you
assimilate, you are feeding onit.
What you keep eating willeventually eat you up.

(11:37):
So as you assimilate, it bringsyou into a place of elevation,
because the knowledge you feedon so's my rae.
So revelation, assimilation,elevation.
So what you, what you keepinside of you, as you eventually
feed on its feeder, it becomesone with you.
Is the reason I tell youngpeople don't go chasing after

(11:58):
things.
Whatever you chase after youdon't find, embody it, because
whatever you embody, it runswith you.
All right, you need to explainthat.
So a lot of young people say Ineed money, I'm chasing money,
I'm going for money.
Our parents have been chasingmoney their whole lives.
They never found the money theywere chasing.
So don't chase money, becauseeverything you are looking for

(12:18):
is also looking for you, but notthis version of you.
So a version of you mustliterally evolve.
And then when that version ofyou, so a version of you must
literally evolve, and then whenthat version of you evolves,
then, by reason of what you areassimilating, what you are
learning, becomes one with you.
Then you run with it.
So what you are running afteryou will struggle to find, but
what you embody runs with you.

(12:38):
How do we do that?
It's very simple.
When a rich man wants to dosomething, he does not think of
how he can have money to do thething.
He thinks of how he can becometo do the thing.
When a poor man wants to dosomething, the first thing is
hey, I can do 10,000 cities.
If I have 10,000 cities, I'lldo this.

(13:00):
I'll do that.
Now think of it this way youwant to buy a car.
A car also is looking for you.
Or you want to buy a house inTrasako.
There's a house in Trasako withyour name on it.
But the question is whatversion of you must you grow
into becoming to be able to buythat house in Trasako so that

(13:22):
you can be able to maintain thathouse in Trasako?
So a rich person.
When a rich person wants to dosomething, he thinks of how he
can become in order to have todo, but when a poor person wants
to do something, he thinks ofhow he can have in order to do,
to become.
They are not the same.
So a rich man wants to go intobusiness.
You are a rich man.

(13:43):
You are doing amazingly well.
You are a pharmacist.
Did you think of how you canhave a pharmacy in order to
operate a pharmaceuticalbusiness?
No, you went to school.
That was your process ofbecoming, so you have to become.
So you became in order for youto have, and you are doing.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Which part of our being do we use to become?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think every part of you, every part of you, forms
part of your becoming.
And if you think about it verywell, man is a spirit.
He has a soul, he lives in abody.
So man is a spirit.
Daryl Moses is spirit.
Daryl Derek is spirit.
You have a body.
So man is a spirit.
Daryl Moses is spirit.
Daryl Derek is spirit.
You have a soul, you live in abody.

(14:30):
How do I know Genesis, chapterone God creates, but he has not
formed.
Then he comes to chapter twoand he says and the Lord, god,
formed man.
How do I know man is a spirit?
He said when he had formed man.
He said male and female createdhe them.
So man, as a composite entity,is made up of male and female.
Then in the formation we see itexpressly.

(14:52):
So, if you think about it verywell, for you to become, your
body must become.
When a child grows up, a childis born, they have to learn how
to crawl, they have to learn howto sit.
They go through a process.
The next thing, as that childis growing, you take that child
to school.
When you're taking that childto school, what are you trying

(15:15):
to develop with that child?
You're trying to develop theirsoul make.
You're trying to make themappreciate color.
You're trying to make themappreciate speech, all of those
things You're trying to makethem appreciate color, they're
trying to make them appreciatespeech, all of those things you
are trying to make themunderstand their temperaments
and all of those things theymake up the soul of the person.
You take that child to church.
You let them understand thatthere is a deity.
You let them understand thatthere's a supreme being that

(15:36):
rules and controls their life.
This morning you and I are herebecause probably on the list of
people who are supposed to makethe day we showed up, he gave
us breath and we're here.
So you let that childunderstand their spiritual
investments or their spiritualgrowth.
So there's your body, there'syour soul, there's your spirit.
For you to become all thosethree dimensions must equally

(15:56):
grow.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
So I want a house in trazaco.
You said that, that house inTrazaco is also looking for me
Exactly.
But I'm a truck driver.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I don't even make 200 cities a day to even start
accepting that that house inTrazaco is also looking for me.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
How does my viewer conceptualize this thing you're
saying?

Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's this way Now.
Your mind is God's biggest gifthe has given you.
The thing about the mind isthat the mind is like a garden
Whatever thing you sow in themind you reap, the gateway to
the citadel of your mind is youreyes and your ears, which is
why I'm very much excited aboutthe podcast, because by means of

(16:42):
what people watch from thisplatform, by means of what
people hear from this platform,by means of what people hear on
this platform, they become so asyou are watching and as you are
hearing, it shapes yourperception.
So you are coming from thatpoor background.
You may be listening to ustoday, you are in that single
room somewhere, but you arewatching videos in Dubai.
You are in that single roomsomewhere.

(17:04):
You are dreaming of that housein Trasaku.
What actually is happening isthat your physical state may not
reflect what is in your mind,but your mind may be living
years ahead of you.
So I give you a case in point.
I started my entrepreneurshiphub Africa in Kumasi.
I completed KNST in a placecalled Jinyasi, and here I was.

(17:26):
I'd come to Accra from time totime.
I realized that there was akind of possibility, there was a
kind of living in this place.
So I'd go back.
And then I'm like, okay, nowthat I go to Accra I see all the
things that are doing it, butI'm also in Jinyasi.
How do I move the business toAccra?
So I decided that, okay,whenever I come to a crown

(17:51):
visits, I would make sure I cometo the place where rich people
live, which is easily gone forstarters.
So those times I would come andmy friend would drive me around
and then we'll drive to easilygone.
I remember we'll go and park bythe spy's house.
Then I'll ask myself did a manbuild this?
I would watch that thing.
And I'm like, if a man buildsthis, irrespective of where I'm
from, I can do that.
So I said, okay, I went back.
Then my then mentor, dr UbonKing, of blessed memory, asked

(18:13):
me to come to Nigeria.
So he calls me and he says thathe didn't say can you come?
He says be in Nigeria tomorrowat six, which is to speak to a
lot of young people.
You want mentorship, are youready to pay the price?
So he calls me.
I'm like, okay.
So my then girlfriend, who isnow my wife, I called her.
I said the man said Ashka, Idon't have money.
So she works in the bank.
So she gave me some money,entered the bus, came to a car,

(18:37):
entered another bus straight toLagos.
So on the top of Echo SutanHotel, he said something to me.
He said your vision shapes yourlife.
Do you realize we're standingon the very top of Echo Sutan
Hotel.
I said yes.
He said what do you see?
Is the vision the same as whenyou're on the ground floor?
I said no.
So that day he spoke to meabout vision and in our
conversation he said I want youto make a vow to me that, to

(18:58):
buttress this conversation aboutvision, you will go to Dubai
and you will go and watch theplace.
It has, what it will do to you.
Now, brother, I had a passport,but now how will I go to Dubai?
So, just to buttress that point, how do you marry the two?
I came back to Ghana, went to myjunior.
I say I had a laptop, I hadinternet.
The internet is one of God'sbiggest gifts to our generation.

(19:20):
Today you use the internet as atool.
Don't let it use you.
So I go back and I startedwatching videos of Dubai and I
realized the ruler is called HisRoyal Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
So I found his book my Vision.
I started reading Before I everstepped foot in Dubai.
I had read the history of theplace, like I knew about Ghana.
I had read the man's books,everything that was available in

(19:43):
Ghana.
In fact, the first time I gotto Dubai, the first thing I did
was to go and buy books aboutthe ruler of the place, because
the thing is that when you meeta man and you're able to get
what is in his head, you canproduce what is in his pocket.
So I went after the knowledge.
What will happen is that now youbegin to feel uncomfortable,
something inside of you begin torise.
So there are three levels ofdesires.

(20:03):
The first level of desire isthat you want a thing.
So to that trotter driver, hewants a thing.
To me who wanted to go to Dubai, I wanted a thing.
Now that you want a thing, alot of people want things.
Very few people manifest thethings they want.
So I want a thing.
Then we transition to the secondlevel of desire.
When you want a thing, you moveto a place where you choose the

(20:31):
thing.
The place of your choosing iswhere you do the research, the
place of your choosing is whereyou now begin to realize that,
okay, I may be a trotter driver,but I need to start changing my
circle.
The place of choosing is whereyou get to a place where you go
like, okay, I may be a trotterdriver or I may be a mate, but I
need to do it with excellence.
I need to build character, Ineed to build capacity, I need
to learn what that current stageof my becoming and process is

(20:51):
teaching me.
You need to choose a thing.
That is when I begin to askokay, dubai, how much is ticket
Brother?
Until I asked that question,all that while I thought going
to Dubai was 100,000 Cs.
Then, when you are now beginningto choose, that's when you
realize that, okay, to go toDubai, you need a visa.
This is how much the visa willcost To go to Dubai.

(21:12):
You don't go to a visa officelike the way you do for the
United States.
You don't fill applicationslike the way you do for Canada.
So now you are beginning tounderstand.
At that point you are meddlingin the second realm of desire
choosing.
Then you move to the thirdrealm, commitment, because when
you choose, your choosing willhelp you siphon out your wants

(21:33):
and help you to come to a placewhere, okay, this is what it
will take.
So can you imagine me coming toAccra those times and when I
come, I started asking the costof house rent in this
neighborhood in East Ligon.
This was me working on my mind.
This was me getting okay.
Okay, this is what it will take.
Now, the thing with a lot ofpeople is that when they think

(21:53):
about their dreams, the firstthing they've been programmed
with their mind is that theirmind shuts them out.
So you can't do it.
The moment you allow, you can't.
You will never manifest it.
But I moved myself from a placewhere I stopped looking at
things, from I can't do it, tonow asking myself how can I?
The thing with the mind again,when you ask how you can, it

(22:15):
will find results for you.
How can I?
You will now begin to look in,so you're in the choosing realm.
Then you get to know that yourthird realm of desire,
commitment.
So now this is what it takes togo to Dubai.
So, brother, at that time therewas a company called Travel
Planners.
I realized that they had tosuper package so you could pay
an installment till you arecomplete to go to Dubai.

(22:36):
I said, ah, so there was a wayout of this whole thing.
So I said, okay, I went to them.
I said how much they gave methe amount.
I said, okay, I went to them.
I said how much they gave methe amount.
I said, okay, now I went back.
I said, okay, this is mycurrent realm of living, this is
my current level of income.
How do I allocate savings andpay the susu, small, small, till
my total amount is complete?
That was how I went to Dubaifor the first time and that is

(23:01):
how I did the same thing andcame to this place and I
realized okay, to live in aplace in East Ligon, you're
about to pay rent of about maybe5,000, 6,000.
So now, how do you bringyourself to that realm of living
where you can be able to affordthis, that, that?
And we came to East Ligon aspeople who would come and watch
their spies' house.
Today we rent in East Ligon andtoday we are building in East
Ligon.

(23:21):
So we came here as tenants.
We leave this place to airportsales and every part of the
world as landlords.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
This is some serious mental elevation.
Yeah, and oh God, I've seenthis work in my life too.
It's worked several times.
The same place you went to parkyour car, I parked my car there
too.
The same the new building whenthey started to finish that new
building, I watched it too.
The same the new building whenthey started to finish that new
building, I watched it too.
As a matter of fact, I learneda few designs from there to

(23:49):
apply to my own project.
It works like magic.
It does, it does, it reallydoes.
I usually say that the God inus sits in the mind.
And that if you choose to usethat mind, you can become.
If you choose to use that mind,you can become anything you
choose to be, Absolutely.
But why is it so difficult forpeople to harness the power of

(24:13):
that which the creator has givento them?
The mind.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Interesting question.
Speaking about the mind, ourmind is again.
Why is it difficult that peopleare able to?
People struggle to harness thatpower.
Your mind is like a bankwhatever you deposit into it,

(24:39):
that is what you withdraw.
So why is it that peoplestruggle to harness its power?
Let's go to the basics.
What are they depositing Inlife?
Concerning your mind, yourprogramming leads to your
thoughts.
Your thoughts leads to yourfeelings.
Your feelings lead to youractions.

(25:00):
Your actions become yourreality.
Your programming leads to yourthoughts.
Your programming leads to yourthoughts.
Your thoughts leads to yourfeelings.
Your feelings lead to youractions.
Your actions become yourreality.
Every reality in your life youare uncomfortable with, check
your programming.
Every single reality in yourlife that you are very much

(25:22):
uncomfortable with, check yourprogramming.
So if your reality is that youare poor, check your programming
.
If your reality is that thingsare rough in your relationship,
check your programming.
How are we programmed Everyhuman being in this world?
You are programmed threefoundational ways.
The first is what we callverbal programming.

(25:43):
So what are you hearing aboutmoney?
What are you hearing aboutdoing business in Ghana?
What are you hearing aboutrelationship?
What are you hearing aboutchildbirth?
A friend of mine was going togive birth last week and called
me and said MBA.
They said that CS is this.
I said who?
Said Because automaticallyshe's living in fear because

(26:04):
somebody planted by means ofwords into her mind that CS can
take her life.
I said you know the number ofwomen walking the earth who gave
birth by CS.
What makes your story different?
So debunk it and declare overyourself that you will give
birth through your CS session.

(26:24):
You will live, your baby willbe healthy.
Counter that thing with anotherword.
So a lot of us grew up inenvironments where they told us
things like Sika nya habayneatiti ni diazo.
So you grow up living in acertain scarcity mentality that
it's difficult to come by money.
You know programming.
So we are programmed in threeways.

(26:44):
The first is verbal programming.
You counter negative intheories.
The first is verbal programming.
You counter negative verbalprogrammings with positive
verbal programmings.
So you look yourself in themirror and you speak to yourself
.
I do that a lot.
This morning I woke up and thenI looked into my palms and I
declared my hands will prosper.
I declared anything my handstouch will turn into gold.

(27:07):
I said nothing dies in thishands.
So you engineer it.
And the best way to alter yourlife is declarations.
And this is where I teach thatwhen it comes to declarations, a
lot of us just declare listen,touch yourself.
Whenever you hit yourself likethis it's like there's this

(27:27):
flesh to flesh and speak toyourself.
So declaration, verbalprogramming.
The next one is what we callspecific incidents.
We are programmed by anotheroption called specific incidents
.
So people experience certainthings.
That forms part of theirprogramming and it makes them
take a stance for life.

(27:47):
So somebody has an uncle.
The uncle, seemingly, is rich.
But rich people also haveproblems.
You go to this uncle of yours,you ask him for money.
That mummy is not feeling well.
Can you please give me money?
Your perception is that thisuncle is rich, but this uncle
may also be going to their ownwahala, so maybe in that moment
uncle couldn't help.

(28:07):
And then mommy dies.
You now blame mommy's death onyour rich uncle and say that
rich people are evil.
That's a specific incidentthere.
Rich people are terrible people, rich people are wicked.
But you see, what you do nothonor and admire, you can't
attract.
So the moment you start sayingthat about rich people, how will

(28:29):
you become rich?
You are creating a certainwealth for yourself.
So those are specific incidents.
The third is what we callmodeling, which is one of the
most powerful ways ofprogramming.
What are you watching?
And for that, in scripture, um,you look at jacob.
Jacob wants to produce, um, akind of cattle after its kind.
What does he do?
He brings the one he wants toreproduce and as they are mating

(28:50):
, they are watching, theyreproduce the same kind.
The bible says we all, withopen faces, beholding us in a
glass, the glory of the lord, weare being changed.
Whatever you behold, youtransform into.
So what are you watching, whichis the reason why you need to
guard this.
So why is it a lot of peopleare not able to harness this?
I'm showing you fromfoundations that the programming

(29:12):
is wrong.
So when I wanted to leave thedubai experience, I started
watching videos of the place.
Yeah, when I wanted to become.
Let me show you one of thethings that, um, I I did when
and this is just of the hookwhen wanted to do upsa, you
started off the conversationwith that.
I had a brother, um futuristkwame, who had done that two

(29:35):
years before and I think threeyears that'll be three years
2022.
We brought vucy down.
I was right by him, so I sawthe processes and I'll go back
to him and we had discussionsabout the upsa.
When I conceived the idea, Ishared it with him.
I shared a pizza man.
We go back.
We had the conversations and Itold kwame.

(29:56):
I said I have the videos of theupsa events that you hosted.
And I told him, said I'vewatched that video 50 plus times
.
What was I doing?
I was trying to assimilatemyself with the space.
My God, I watched, I watched.
I can.
If you pick my phone and you gothrough my notes, I'll tell you
the things that I learned fromevery speaker's entry, what

(30:18):
every speaker did right, whatevery I was just learning.
Then I said no, at some pointpeople speak things.
So people started saying youcan't do it, it won't happen.
Where did you come from?
And some of them are people whoare close to me, people who you
call friends and you hear yougo like so this friend could say
that.
Now, whether you like it or not, you're human, so

(30:42):
psychologically it will play onyou when you're alone.
So I started getting afraid andI went back.
I said, no, I'll anchor it witha word.
So I went back and then Ilooked into the scriptures.
Then I saw a scripture thatsays that and on the Sabbath day
came the whole city to hear theword of God from the apostles.
Ah, they are coming.
I just tweaked that scripture,I said and on April 12, 2025,

(31:05):
came the whole city to hear theword of God from Moses B.
Arthur, if you come to my studytoday, it's an open scripture.
I highlighted it.
I started speaking that tomyself Two weeks to the event, I
had so much peace that we hadfailed the place.
Wow, I counted those negativethings with words.
So we're all programmed thoseway and I watched the thing.

(31:25):
I watched them.
I watched I was like no, it's.
But modeling is powerful.
It is so powerful, I think, andif you're able to find a type
or a figure where you want tolearn from, the easiest way is
to model.
I was sharing with a friend ofmine yesterday about an issue he
had with his mentee and I saidsomething to him.

(31:47):
I said there are fourdimensions to learning from your
mentor.
The things you have heard fromhim is one dimension.
Verbal programming the thingsyou have seen in him.
Another kind of programmingmodeling.
I said the things you havereceived from him.
So there are places where youhave seen in him, you have heard

(32:10):
from him, you have receivedfrom him.
Then you have learned from him.
So when I said that, he waslike okay, I said yes.
So I said your mentor must notcome and tell you everything.
There are things you have towatch from him and do it as he
did.
It's just as simple as that.
How do I know the perfectexample?
Jesus comes on the scene and hesaid, as I see my father do so,

(32:32):
do I Model it?

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Let me stop it here for a minute.
If you've been watching thisshow, I want you to subscribe
and become part of the family.
We are on a journey of changingthe lives of people on this
channel and we appreciate youfor being here, but if you
haven't become part of thefamily, connect with us.
Hit the subscribe button Now.
Let's carry on the conversation.

(32:55):
My God, yeah, you've taken meon a mental journey.
Mental journey.
When you post this thing onTwitter, mental journey, mental
journey.
When you post this thing onTwitter, the boys will say are
you crying?
I wonder the way you aretalking.
Are you a billionaire?
What they don't understand isthat, as you sit here, mentally,
you are a billionaire,absolutely, and that's exactly

(33:18):
what they are supposed to bedoing.
But for them, they must startfrom the thousands to the
millions before they startthinking.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
You don't need to be a billionaire to speak as a
billionaire.
You don't need to be amillionaire to.
I put out a series last yearthe Millionaire Mind Mastery
series and somebody there saidwhy should I listen?
I posted it and the person saidwhy should I listen to you?
I'm not a millionaire?
And I laughed I should I listen?

(33:47):
I posted and the person saidwhy should I listen to you?
I'm not a millionaire?
And I laughed.
I said my mind is thinking asone.
It's been less than a year.
We're putting together aproject that's over a million
dollars, but until my mind couldsee it.
See, your mind is theauthorized escort to lift you
from one realm of living to theother.
Your mind will always take thelead to a destination.
Then it will pull your body tojoin your mind.
It's like going to marry.
There is no man who will saythat on the day they are going

(34:09):
to marry, they never imaginedtheir wedding day.
You imagined it, so you plannedaccording to your imagination.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
That's why imagination is powerful.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Exactly, a group of people decided to build a tower
whose top will reach the heavensin the book of Genesis they
imagined to do.
If you read that scripture verywell, theologically speaking
there's a lot of conversationabout it, but this is not
theology.
So, god, that thing is sopowerful I think it catches the
attention of God.

(34:39):
So your mind is such a potentplace that it can catch the
attention of God.
Then God said the thing thatpeople have imagined to do, we
have to confound their language.
Everything in life is builttwice First in your mind and
second in reality.
What you don't spend timebuilding in your mind, you will

(35:01):
struggle with making it areality.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
My God, your first business failed.
Second business failed.
Why did the second one alsofail?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Same thing.
I was still in the process ofmy becoming.
What did you learn?
It's literally the things thatI've summed up and sharing.
Because, I realized that all Iwanted was to have, but not to
be, to become so I said no, youare chasing things.
what you chase, you keep runningafter it, but the beauty of

(35:32):
destiny is understanding thatyou have to become now.
This is the beautiful thingusain bolt, one of the best
athletes in the world yeah, runs, Runs and then he's world
champion.
But what people are failing tosee?
The years of practice, theyears of failing.
So when he comes on the sceneand I told somebody somebody
said I want to learn speakinglike I want to speak like you I

(35:54):
said I've been doing this foreight years.
I didn't start off speakingthis way.
Recently, I listened to an oldspeech of mine in 2017 you must
have laughed.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
I said what was good but you see, you are growing,
you are becoming so.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
what I learned in the journey is that you want to
have money, you want to berelevant like I, stopped chasing
famous and you want to befamous.
No, no, no, no.
Impact lives it's the truemeasure of success.
Impact lives Live for people.
Let your life be a beacon ofhope.
Leave people better than youfound them.

(36:30):
In principle, every other thingyou are looking for will come
at you.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
The young people are saying that it's all well and
good, all the things you aresaying, but it does not reflect
in their pocket.
How do they go from here to letit now reflect?
Look, you have a beautifulstory First business failed.
Second business failed.
You are still on the journeyand now you're doing a fantastic
project that is well over amillion USD, which we're going

(36:56):
to talk about, but where was theseed Right?

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I like the question when was the seed Right?
I like the question when wasthe seed?
You use a seed to provoke aharvest.
A seed can be in diverse forms,so I spoke about a mind.
The mind in itself was acurrency for me.
Okay, so there are sevenuniversal currencies I speak

(37:22):
about in my book.
Yep, now, if I want to begin towalk you through how I have been
able to you know, um, builddifferent things.
It's the fact that anythingthat money can buy relationships
can buy 10 times anything moneycan buy.
You are very poor if all youhave in your life is money.
That's the honest truth.

(37:44):
So I realized that, okay, thefirst thing I can do is that I
can live for people.
So I decided okay, if you'regoing to live for people, then
be there for people, because thevalue of a relationship is the
value you bring to therelationship, not what you
extract from it.
A lot of people wantrelationships.
All they seek is what they canget.

(38:06):
They never think of what theycan contribute.
So I realized that, okay, thishas been the journey, this and
this and this and that.
How do you now start?
You're still moving to yourbecoming.
You are still trying to figureit out, it doesn't look all rosy
Like when I want to referencereal estate.
If you look at my real estatejourney or my entrepreneurial

(38:27):
journey, at some point I did alittle bit of farming they are
all on my socials.
I document my journey a lot, sothey are all there.
And then we had started thisreal estate and myself and my
co-founder, oscar.
We had started this real estate, myself and my co-founder,
oscar.
We started Afrimat Atlantic andAfrimat is A for Alpha.
Frim is Oscar, is Frimpon, soFrimat is A-R-T.

(38:51):
So we got Frimat.
We used his surname Frim.
I'm Arthur A-R-T.
So we got Frimat.
And we're like, okay, great men, partner with God to do
business, we're three partnersin this business myself, him and
God.
So we needed an A.
Then we brought Alpha.
In Greek you say Alpha andOmega.

(39:12):
In Hebrew you say Aleph Tav.
So we brought A to representGod.
So the three partners.
We got Afrimat.
Then we added Atlantic.
Atlantic means we'll storm theworld.
We'll be the underdogs thatwill storm the world of real
estate.
So we got our company's name.
Now we registered it with RGD.
Now we're pushing Now and hearme, we went to Kumasi.
We started off by building forpeople.
We're doing projects in Kumasi.
You'd come in here, you come toour car, try and look for

(39:35):
properties to sell.
At the time Sukasa had put up aproperty.
We tried to, you know, helpthem sell and all of that.
But you want to start adevelopment.
That is what is at your heart'sbeat.
So if you look at the AfriMatAtlantic logo, it looks like a
high-rise building, becausethat's always been our vision.
We've always wanted to be thatreal estate company that comes

(39:57):
in to do high-rise apartments.
So we're like how do wetransition?
Then I remember we had watched avideo of Dr Steven Debra and
Wodemaya interviewed him.
Tayo Aina interviewed him Forus.
That's a Ghanaian who didn'thave to travel anywhere and he's
here and he's doing high-rise.

(40:17):
In my mind, bro, it would takeme maybe 20 years to meet this
man, or 10 years.
It looked too far-fetched.
So it was a season of confusionfor us.
How do we pick this thing?
We're learning again.
You notice that my principlesare at play.
I can tell you back to backstories of what dr deborah said

(40:37):
on both interviews, because I'vewatched this several times.
So I watch videos of Nigeriandevelopers, myself and my
co-founder.
That's what we're doing thesame principles that I was
teaching here.
We're just learning.
So, even before we touched areal estate development project,
the kind of things we knowabout real estate just by
watching and learning.
And that's the beauty.
When now everything you arelearning meets together with

(40:59):
your seasons, which is why Itell people don't give up, your
time is coming.
The fact that your time has notcome in that's not mean you
shouldn't prepare.
That's not mean you shouldn'tbuild capacity.
That's not mean you shouldn'tbe competent.
So we started learning.
Then, on one beautiful day, Iwoke up and inside my Instagram
DM, dr Steven has sent me amessage.
I saw it.
I said ah.
He said I like what you'redoing.

(41:19):
I saw it.
I said ah.
He said I like what you'redoing.
I've been observing you for thepast two years.
I said Ewo, two years, which isfor me.
I speak to young people a lotand I tell them listen, kings
are watching.
Kings are watching.
Whatever you are doing, kingsare watching.
They have not come to thebrightness of your rising and

(41:41):
your light because for kings,they have seen a lot of people
come and go.
Consistency to kings is proofof mastery, so make sure that
you are being consistent.
The man sends me a deal.
I thought it was a scam so Ishowed it to my co-founder.
I said, hey, there'll be a scam.
He said debut, hey, you're not.
We checked it was.
I said ah.
So I sent him a message.
I said, sir, can I please haveyour number?

(42:03):
Then I didn't hear from him.
It was 3rd April.
I said, ah, I said it, he hascome to us.
Then, 5th April, this man shareshis number which was my
birthday.
It was my best birthday present.
I WhatsAppped him and heresponded Moses, which for me is
something that a lot of peoplefind intriguing when they reach

(42:23):
out to me and I respond to thembecause they don't understand.
In my journey, when I started,I had people I looked up to who
would ask you to come around.
You go, you spend the whole day, they will not meet you.
You message them, they will notreply, and then I'll enter bus
again and go back to Kumasi, youknow.
So I just told myself as Godlifts me up, it doesn't matter

(42:43):
who you are.
You message me on any of myplatforms, I'll respond to you.
As far as I'm available, I will, and that was the kindness Dr
Stephen showed me.
The moment I sent him a message.
He replied A month after hewasn't in the country, so a
month after we met for the firsttime in this office.
So fit me.
And when we met we spent abouttwo hours.
The man opened up his heart andso he showed us go and do this,

(43:07):
go and do that, go and do this.
So we started.
For one year we're going aboutin circles, acting on what he
said, we would go, we would gohere, we would go here, we would
go here, we would go here, wewould go here.
Then now it comes in on thescene.
I'm like okay, this, that, that, that.
So my very good friend broughta friend to my place, was
speaking and then the personsaid oh, I have this land here,

(43:30):
let's go and have a look at it.
We went and then my mentor hadgiven me a law.
He said every land you touch,make sure the documents are
there.
So that person didn't havedocumentations for their land,
so we didn't proceed and we'restill in circle.
So one sunday after the callwith my co-founder, we're like
2024 is our year, that's right,it has to be this year.

(43:50):
After all, the two to threeyears of it has to be this year.
So one sunday on a call, wesaid okay, this land just filled
.
What must we do?
Quickly we called anotherfriend who was into real estate,
which is the reason why I saythat when your time has not come
and you don't have financialresources, build social resource
, build relationship resource,build people who can take you to

(44:12):
your next realm of living.
And what will then happen?
Instantly, we called the guy,he said, oh, I'll speak to
somebody, so okay.
The next day he called me andsaid the person says he knows
so-so and so of this place.
Are you people ready for us togo?
I said, ah, we're born ready,which will make me speak about
another thing Physical universalcurrency Dress.

(44:33):
Well, I may not have the moneyin my pocket, but I'll never go
wrong in my looks so quickly.
When the person said we aregoing to see this person, this
person is this.
I said don't worry.
He said look good.
I said don't worry, I wore mykaftan.
I have this particular kaftan.
You think that's half hundredbillion dollars in my account.
So I wore it.
My co-founder dressed Smellgood.

(44:55):
I put on a very good perfume,not too expensive.
That's the thing.
The perfume must not beexpensive to smell good.
So showed up at the place andthe person said what do you
people want to do on the land?
Then I said this is our 3Ddrawing.
Listen, faith is faith, but theBible says faith is a substance

(45:17):
of things hoped for.
So we had faith, but we had asubstance.
The man said ah, you people,you don't have land, you already
have your 3Ds.
I said yes, sir, when we getthe land size, we'll fit the
building to the land.
He said you are the only personwho has come here who has
showed a design of what you wantto do.
And then, quickly, we went.

(45:39):
Now, the long story is that, ifyou are listening to all of this
, how did we start?
We started off with therelationships pushing on the
vision.
Then it comes to a place wherewe have to start.
That is where sacrifice comesin.
So we live in a generationwhere a lot of young people want
their anointings on the oldergeneration, but they are
refusing their sacrifice.
So you are seeing MBA, you likewhat MBA is doing, but have you

(46:04):
ever sat down to question thedepth of sacrifice I put in to
make the things that you seework?
Now we have the land.
Now we have everything.
We've gone through ourdocumentation, everything is
solid.
Now we want to start a project.
Now where is the money?
That's where the sacrificecomes in.
So what assets can youliquidate?
If you have a car, sell it ifyou, because, see, it is your

(46:24):
dream.
Nobody believes in your dreammore than you.
Nobody believed in thisconnected mind things.
So you came down, set it up andhad people to come in and push
your resources in to make itwork.
That's the thing.
So we put in the work, westarted sacrificing, selling the
cars here and again.
Relationships are important me.
I tell the generation thatsocial media is a tool.

(46:45):
Use it, don't let it use you.
If you come on my social media,I teach If you come on my
social media, it has to be value, from my YouTube to everywhere.
You'll barely see me post mysocial life on social media.
If I post it, then I want youto see it.
But everything is well curatedand engineered and posted, then
I want you to see it.
But everything is well curatedand engineered and those were
the things that dr steven hadseen and he reached out.

(47:06):
But, moving forward, I had nowbuilt a community of people who
were following my body of work.
Right right before real estate,bro, I tried a launch.
It failed.
It didn't work.
I'd gone in on the whole realestate in trial with the land,
and that is because I didn'thave a mentor to teach.
So you see who are mentors.
Mentors are the lens in whichwe are able to see the things

(47:27):
that we are not supposed to see,and they will guide you you
think mentorship is importantextremely important, extremely
important.
See, whenever God wants to helpa man and whenever God wants to
make a man wealthy on time, heintroduces another man into his
life.
David had Kenzo Exactly Davidhad Kenzo.

(47:50):
Abraham had Abimelech.
Ruth had the king I'm sorry,esther had the king.
Ruth had Boaz.
Me I have Dr Stephen.
My life has been transitions ofmen and I have a nest Exactly.
So, if you look at it very,very, very well, mentorship is
extremely important.
You think about it this wayMoses is blessed.

(48:13):
He has had encounters with God,he has seen God, but he doesn't
understand leadership andadministration.
So his father-in-law, jethro,is the one that teaches him how
to set up a good administrativesystem for the people he was
leading, else he would havefailed.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Today you have yourself an awesome project that
I'm pretty sure within the nextsix months to a year it should
be complete.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
We pray.
We'll put it in the work.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I've seen some of the videos you posted.
I myself have heard it and Iwas like, wow, what does the
future hold for this man?
But the true question is youfill up the entire UPSA, but
then the young people are stillwaiting for item 13.

(49:01):
Oh my goodness Futurist wasspeaking about this as well some
other time where he says he'sgone around about 16
universities and the only thingthe young people were concerned
about is what they are going toeat.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah, I was on that tour with him.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
It makes it difficult to carry on with this whole
thing about changing the mindsof people, because as I sit here
, I haven't eaten, I haven'teither.
But we are giving out freeinformation, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Absolutely that's.
You see, that's a veryinteresting one.
And I laugh because at the upsauditorium, when we finished the
event, I had my team come to me.
Like there's some people fromlegon, they are angry.
They said item 13.
So um, can't get cp's.
A man.
We provided food for those whotraveled outside of Accra, but

(50:02):
those who were in Accra wedidn't provide food.
Now, that event was free.
So I'm hearing some of thecomments.
And do you know that somebodysent me a WhatsApp audio.
I have the audio here I couldplay it.
He's a student at University ofGhana.
So he sent a message and hesaid he regrets coming for the
event.
Wow, yeah, he added regret.
He didn't know he was chattingwith me, so he said my name is

(50:26):
Susu Enso I came from Universityof Ghana.
The program was really blessed,but I was hungry.
I didn't eat the whole day.
Da, da, da, da, da da.
And I'm not afraid to say thatI really regret making time to
come for this event.
Their knowledge was good, but Iregret because they said he
used the word regret.
So just yesterday he even sentme a message asking for one of

(50:48):
the videos I posted on my status.
So when he used regret.
I just watched.
I said what a generation.
And then he said please may Iknow who I'm speaking to if they
can get this information toMoses Beathard?
And I said you're speaking tome because I added my number on
the flyer, so that's what hepicked.
I said you're speaking to me.
He said how?
I said yes, you're speaking tome.

(51:09):
Then he said mentor.
I said no, I'm not your mentor.
There is no mentee of mine thatwill speak.
The way he spoke Doesn't matter.
And I said something to him.
The reason why our people loseout on the gifts that God is
blessing our generation with isbecause of some of these things,
because what the person islooking out for is food.
So I said something to theLigon people that I met today.

(51:33):
I said are you telling me thatif not for this event, you
wouldn't have dinner today?

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Then they were quiet.
Let me stop you here for aminute.
If you've been watching thisshow, I want you to subscribe
and become part of the family.
We are on a journey of changingthe lives of people on this
channel and we appreciate youfor being here.
But if you haven't become partof the family, connect with us,
hit the subscribe button andlet's carry on the conversation.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
About five leg on people who are angry with my
volunteers.
I said yo, are you peopletrying to tell me that if you
didn't show up here today youwon't eat?
And they were quiet and I saiddo you know what it means for a
young man myself to sacrificethe resources that I can go on
vacation with my wife with, orspend on my life to book a venue

(52:22):
, to bus people to a venue, tobring a speaker from outside of
Ghana, to collate speakers inhere, flyers, mobilize.
I did a tour across the regionsto mobilize people for this
event and everything wasabsolutely free.
Why?
Because I wanted to inspire ageneration to think bigger,
dream louder and act bolder.

(52:43):
Why Because I wanted some and Iintentionally called it
Trailblazers Unite.
If you looked at my lineup ofspeakers, I wanted people who
built systems for themselves,people who came into the space,
had nothing and they took it.
They didn't have a seat at thetable.
They created the table and thechair and they sat there.
So I'm bringing futurist,futurist Kamek.

(53:04):
Futurist Kamek is arguably oneof our pioneers when it comes to
public speaking for ourgeneration.
Huge, huge.
I'm bringing people like Pisaman, abeku and Chris because
these are guys who didn't have atable.
They created it and they satdown themselves.
And you are listening to all ofthese stories and I just want
you to know that, irrespectiveof your background as a young

(53:24):
person, you can become something.
Irrespective of, as a young man, whatever.
You can rise like pizza man andemploy all the people you're
employing, and then somebodycomes in to do this.
So what will happen then isthat you lose hope because for
me, finishing the event, ofcourse, there's nobody who
organized an event territorythat they didn't care one or two
depths here and there, but youstill would use your own

(53:46):
resources to clear out thedepths.
That's right, but the joy isthat somebody will also catch
their light.
So my inspiration is okay.
I'll not listen to the guy whois saying I tempted thing and
all of those things.
What will my inspiration be?
My inspiration will be that Isat in Ubon King's event in 2018
.
Look at the results I'mcommanding today.

(54:08):
Ubon King is one of the few menwho called greatness out of me
when I couldn't even see it, andI went for his event in Kishin.
I entered the bus from Ghana toNigeria because I was hungry.
It's not everybody that's alsohungry like the way I am.
Some people enter the bus andcome for the UPSA event, others
you have to bus them and igniteit in them.

(54:28):
So, regardless of everything Isaid to myself, moses, let's
give ourselves three years.
Let's give ourselves four years.
Maximum, let's give ourselvesfive years.
There will be somebody thatwill rise, like you, because of
the impact that came from thisevent, just like the way I rose
from Ubuntu Instincering todoing the things that I'm doing
now.
That is the same way.

(54:48):
Let's give Trailblazers Unitedfive years.
There's somebody that I don'teven know.
There's somebody who even camefor the event that never even
reached out to me.
Who is somewhere in Konongo, whois somewhere in Ho, who is
somewhere with Basque peoplefrom the north.
I had people come from Togo,benin, nigeria.
Who is somewhere in Ikeja,somewhere who has caught a flame

(55:11):
and they are brooding thatflame and very soon the world
will see.
So those are the things thatinspire me to keep going on.
And I remember sharing with ateam.
I'm like next year we're notdoing a big event, next year
we're doing Trailblazers, uniteCampus Store and were hitting.
And the person is like younever give up.
I'm like no, because at the endof the day, success for me is a

(55:32):
life that bless God at its peakand touch humanity at its core.
And I get to touch people attheir core by making sure that
when you encounter me, youbecome a better version of
yourself.
No other way to do that thanknowledge.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Do you think everyone can become successful
financially?
No, why?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Because innate in all of us.
Not everybody has that innatedrive, not everybody has that
innate risk ability, noteverybody is ready to commit a
certain amount of time andresource to their destinies.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
But you can say that if people did they would be
successful Exactly.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Because you believe in the systems and the processes
, you've gone through Exactly Ifanybody would pay attention to
their life and will commit theamount of resources, time,
energy, everything in buildingthe things that they are
supposed to.
Success can be transferred.
Success can be taught, but thequestion is, are you ready to

(56:30):
pay attention to those things?

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Is it more of the person or the information they
are receiving?

Speaker 1 (56:36):
It's a balance of both Right.
If the information is wrong, ifthe information, which is the
input, is wrong, it will affectthe output.
Number one, which is also thereason why I tell.
I tell people and I'm prettymuch honest about it who you
learn from matters in thisgeneration where everybody's an

(56:56):
online teacher, prove what youare listening to.
Recently, somebody came to meand said they wanted to write a
book.
When I heard the title of thebook, I said it's a good book.
I won't speak you out of it.
Go and build results for thebook.
It will sell the book faster.
That's right.
And the person was like it'strue.
I said yes, and I said to theperson if I write a book how to

(57:16):
become a millionaire in one day,I will not sell.
If Dan G become a millionairein one day, he'll sell the
reason results.
So everybody can become, but noteverybody will become.
So, in terms of the success, interms of everything people seek
out for, it's simply becausewe're all not the same.

(57:38):
Somebody will not sacrificetheir time, their resource, to
build capacity, to learn, togrow, to connect, to be daring.
You know and I like to use thatword innate ability or innate
drive and fire.
Not everybody has that innatedrive.
There are some people.
They wake up and there's nosense of urgency in them.

(57:58):
You think we need?

Speaker 3 (58:00):
that sense of urgency .
We need it very much.
But when somebody will saywhere are we going?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Why are we going?
Well, it depends on the lensyou're looking at it from.
Your success in life isprimarily hinged on your vision.
So for somebody, a Tico withsome house in Amasama somewhere
or Kaswa somewhere, one familythey want their child to go to
maybe some LA somewhere, theyare okay.

(58:27):
So, per that person's vision,that is what is fueling their
drive.
But you see, if your success inlife is primarily hinged on
your vision, then your visionwill fuel the kind of things you
do.
Dubai wants to be number one inthe world.
Have you seen the things theyare doing there?

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Do you think more people need to be more daring?

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Yes, it's the reason why I put together that event
think bigger, dream louder, act,because he shall be like a tree
planted by rivers of livingwater, after he said whatsoever
you do with so, you can beplanted.
If you don't do, you will notflourish you yourself.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
If I ask you the one thing that has fueled apart, ask
you the one thing that hasfueled apart from God, the one
thing physically that you havedone that has fueled your level
of success today.
What would you say?

Speaker 1 (59:17):
One thing One thing Can I say?

Speaker 3 (59:20):
one thing yeah, I know there's several things, but
just give me one thing.
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Let me box it up in a thought, Because one thing it
will be difficult.
It's a combination of things.
I know, but pick one out of it.
Let's see, if I'm lookingthrough my life and the journey
that I've been on, the biggestchallenge and the biggest
blessing has been people.
Okay, so as a leader, I've hadto handle people who are older

(59:56):
than me.
I'm young.
As a leader, I've had to dealwith people who are older than
me.
There's a lens in which oldpeople look at you.
When you're young, it's been achallenge.
I've had to deal with peoplewho are equally my level and
they are probably not seeingthings the way you're supposed
to see.
I've also dealt with people whoare older than me and they saw
you as a mighty blessing intheir lives.
I've also dealt with people whoare at my level, below me, and

(01:00:21):
they've also seen you as amighty blessing in their lives.
So I look at it this way it'sthe fact that greatest blessing,
greatest hack, has been people.
Honor people, buildrelationships with people.
It is very, very importantHonor people and be humble.
You know the thing abouthumility and I say it this way

(01:00:44):
the most important part of yourbody is hidden.
When Moses' face was shining,he couldn't tell his face was
shining.
When he had come down from themountain, it was the people that
told him.
So, no matter the exploit, letthe people sing their praise and
then be humble, but honorpeople.
Honor the people that are aboveyou.
Honor the people that are atyour level.

(01:01:05):
Honor the people that are belowyou.
Honor the people that are atyour level Honor the people that
are below you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
You know I usually say that.
You know, virtues are veryimportant, beautiful, but
there's a threshold that youshould never cross, because when
it does, some people take youfor an idiot.
So you can be patient.
Great Cross it.
You're being over patient thenpeople start.
People start walking over you.

(01:01:30):
Where do you draw the balance?

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
the thing is people always be people, people always
be people.
So I like to give hacks andthen I give thresholds.
For instance, people see mevery like okay, this guy, he's
daring, he's this, he's that.
Some of the times I can be veryforbearing with the things

(01:01:56):
people do because I understandit's a people thing.
So I watch people play outtheir thing.
The moment you switch and showthem a very strong side of you,
then they tend to go like youare proud, you are arrogant, you
are this, you are that.
Just let it lie.

(01:02:18):
As I grow, I just come torealize not everybody can be
your friend.
Not everybody is meant to be inyour complete, complete space.
You understand?
It does not mean we are enemies, we are friends.
Now you draw the line withpeople by letting them know okay
, you did this and this and thisand that, this is my stance on
this.
Some of the times you act andyour action alone creates the

(01:02:40):
definition for you, becausetruth is, derek, you can't do
your life explaining your everymove to everyone.
You know that.
Okay, I'm patient, but please,you crossed the line with this,
that's right.
I would give you another chance.
But you try it again and I'lltake a decision and when I take
it it's final.
It's like I was sharingsomething with a friend of mine.

(01:03:03):
I told him that because I'm apeople's person, I really open
up my heart to people I canhandle.
My one of my closest friends isalways like how are you able to
deal with this person?
I said I relate with them ontheir strength, no matter the
weakness that comes about them.
I always try to relate withthem on their strength because
there's always good in theperson.

(01:03:24):
So I look at the good, I lookat the good.
I them on their strengthbecause there's always good in
the person.
So I look at the good, I lookat the good, I look at the good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Now, I said there are points where the person will
cross, and when you cross youhave to act, but your action
should also be in love.
Wow, yeah, wow.
I said in previous episodes, onthe 29th of august, at the
british council, we're doing ourfirst Connected Minds Live and
it's only limited to 250 people.
Now I can't begin to talk aboutsome of the teachings that you
guys are going to have in termsof your mindset transformation.

(01:03:56):
If you've been following myInstagram and the things we've
been talking about and if youlove exactly what we've been
doing here, we're not doing itexactly for a certain group of
people.
It's for people who think thatthey can cross that path to
greatness.
That's why we're doing this.
That's the first connectedminds live and then also the

(01:04:16):
four pillars to success.
If you haven't read that book,I'm gonna leave that link below
in the description and then youcan get access to it.
If you're listening to theaudio, then you can go to
connectedacademycom and enteryour details.
Today I have got three bookshere, three amazing books.
Very quickly, I know which oneis going to be my favorite book.

(01:04:39):
Me, I love thinking, so this ismy favorite book, right?
I love thinking.
So if I see anything that comesto thinking.
I know it's going to be great,but look, this man has got three
books.
This is the most recent one.
Now, anytime I pick up a bookand I recommend a book, you know

(01:04:59):
I do say that there is nobenefit to reading and not
acting.
And one of my favorite quotesby Aristotle that the purpose of
knowledge is action, not moreknowledge.
Grab a copy of this, read itand highlight it.
Don't say you know, as a matterof fact, don't read.
Study the book, study the book,don't just read it.

(01:05:23):
So if you're looking for it,I'm going to put it in the
description as well, or you cango to Mosesosesbarthurcom right,
yeah, that's the website.
That's the website, because Ichecked it out.
Yeah, and then you can, you cangrab the book, but yeah, let's
carry on, let's carry on, let'scarry on wow mba is there any

(01:05:44):
question that I could have askedyou today in this conversation
that I didn't, that you stillthink we can talk about?

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
they should fuse and muse on this one, you know, they
should muse on theconversations that we've had.
And I think probably to wrap itup would be how that, as a
generation, we should loveprocess, we should be patient,
love process, honor people.

(01:06:14):
I always say that honor is sucha very important and powerful
thing.
True honor is when we say youhonor someone, is when we say
you honor someone.
It's your ability to, first ofall, design, celebrate, reward

(01:06:35):
men for their distinct,different and unique
contributions to life.
So your ability to design.
True honor starts off withdiscernment.
So your ability to design, soyour ability to discern, your
ability to celebrate and yourability to reward men for their
distinct and uniquecontributions to the lives of

(01:06:58):
people.
And Anna is not human worship.
That's what a lot of us may say.
I always say that inChristianity we teach that all
men are the same in Christ.
It's true, In Christ we are allthe same, but when we come to
life, as far as the sacrificeand the pursuit and the push of
destiny is concerned, all menare not the same.

(01:07:19):
So honor men.
And the easiest way to showhonor is gratitude.
The easiest way, the easiestway to honor a man is gratitude.
The easiest way, the easiestway to honor a man is gratitude.
You don't have to and it's.
It's something that is missingin the generation.
We don't have, we don't knowhow to honor, we don't know how
to show gratitude.
We think that the fact that youhave a big man's number means
that and there are little thingsthat speak this honor.

(01:07:42):
Somebody was telling me thatthey have this person's contact.
They they message the person.
The person doesn't mind them.
When he showed me the chat, hehas added the person to his
broadcast list.
I said how would the personmind you?
Do you know what it means towake up?
and be broadcasting yourwhatever to such a person, you
have abused access, you know.

(01:08:02):
So it's it's.
There are things that aremissing in the generation that I
think that with time willbecome better.
I think that with a platformlike this, people's perspectives
and life will also be shaped,and I know that, with relentless
focus and unshakable disciplineand an obsession to be the best
, anything that anybody is doinghas the power to lift them up.

(01:08:25):
They should just stay focused,they should just have a certain
discipline and, most importantly, they should have a certain
obsession to be their best.
It's very important.
You look at all great people.
They have an underliningobsession.
You may call it passion.
Yes, and the Nigerians will sayyour passion will determine
your portion you know, so yourobsession will determine how

(01:08:46):
much you make out of life.
Somebody will call obsessionpassion, somebody will call it
hunger or urgency, but you needit.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
Yeah, you definitely need a positive obsession about
life success.
You know, I was telling theboys this morning that they have
got to think of solutions,problem solving.
It's very, very important.
But there's something thatmakes me so happy for you.
You know what it is.
It's the fact that since I'vebeen young, I've always been

(01:09:14):
positively obsessed about moneyand I thank God the position I
am now.
I'm in my 30s.
And if I didn't, if I wasn'tthat positively obsessed?
about money from my teenage age20s.
I would have suffered now, soseeing you younger than I am and

(01:09:37):
the path you are on.
My brother, you've done well.
I'm very happy for you, thankyou.
And all I just want to say isthat the young people that are
listening in their teens, theyshould not soak listening in
their teens.
They should not soak themselvesin masturbation, pornography,
lottery yeah, because it willtake a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Manage your time wisely.
By the time you realize you are30 years 40 years, you're on
pension and you're strugglingAbsolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
My question is motivation or discipline, the
famous connected minds question.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Motivation or discipline.
You need a good blend of both.
Okay, you need a good balanceof both.
Your motivation is usually whatwill get you started.
Your discipline is what willget you connected and stayed on
it.
It's like let me use money.

(01:10:33):
Okay, money, motivation ordiscipline.
You need a certain motivationand drive to move towards making
money.
So I say this Making money isan action Maintaining it is a
behavior.
Multiplying it is knowledge.
Making money is an actionMaintaining it is a behavior.
Multiplying it is knowledge.
Making money is an actionMaintaining, it is a behavior.
Multiplying it is knowledge.
And what you do to make moneyis not what you do to multiply

(01:10:54):
money.
So making money is an action.
Your action is alwaysmotivation inspired.
You want to make money.
Something must inspire you tostart making that money.
But far beyond making the moneyis behavior.
That's where discipline comesto play.
So you don't make 10,000 GhanaCDs and you wake up and you tell

(01:11:16):
me that you got some two odds.
So you took 8,000 Ghana CDs andyou placed it on that two odds.
It doesn't make sense.
Your discipline is where we'reable to see your character and
your habits come to play.
So at that point you make10,000 Ghana CDs.
Wisdom teaches you that maybe20% of this should go into an

(01:11:37):
account for emergency.
Maybe 20% should also go intoan account for savings.
Then 10% should probably gointo maybe my recreational
account for vacation or for mymental health.
Then 50 percent should gotowards expenditure.
So out of your recreational 10percent, you can probably take a

(01:11:58):
portion of it to go and do yourgambling or your bed or
whatever.
It's discipline, right otherthat that's where a lot of
people lose out on it.
So then, multiplying it.
Then now will come to knowledge.
So ask for knowledge there.
You need it every now and then.
But you look at it.
Motivation will always startthe journey, but it won't keep
you there.
You can't tell me that, oh, Ifeel inspired and motivated to

(01:12:22):
do real estate.
It's true, we were all inspiredonce.
But when you jump into thearena and you are doing it, you
realize that motivation is notwhat to buy the cement, it's not
what to buy the iron rods.
So the discipline will now cometo play, and the discipline is
where a lot of people feel Mostpeople are inspired.
Few people come to the place ofdiscipline, and discipline is
commitment.
My God, my god, what's the bestadvice.

(01:12:57):
You've ever received bestadvice, best advice.
You've asked a hard one becauseI've received this question
always.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Guess I've received I have received so many counsels.
Instead of being the best, justgive us one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
So many counsels, so many counsels I have received.
So, so, so, so many counsels.
I think that I'd give a recentone From.
I sat with an elder brother ofmine who is past 40, so he's

(01:13:31):
been very instrumental in mylife for the longest I've known
him, since I was in SHS2, soit's like I'm the first born of
my dad, so he's like the bigbrother I never had.
And he turned 40 and so Imessaged him and I said I'd like
to hear from you.
Life lessons are 40.
And then he was like let's notdiscuss this over phone, let's

(01:13:55):
meet in person.
So we met and he said somethingto me.
He said when you are 40 andabove, you will regret what you
didn't do more than what you did.
You will regret what you didn'tdo more than what you did, the
opportunities you didn't take,the projects you didn't start

(01:14:19):
the books, you never wrote thepodcast, you never recorded the
song, you never sang, thepainting you never completed.
Because truth of the matter isthat and I thought through this
I said what he's saying is true.
I prefer to be the guy whostands in the arena whose face

(01:14:39):
is mad with dust, sweat, blood,failing, failing forward, having
my life up to something thannot doing anything.
At least I would understandwhat it means to try and succeed
than to have not done anything.
My place in destiny andeternity will be with the cold

(01:15:01):
and timid souls who nevercreated anything and would not
be an honor to God, because truehonor to God is to create like
he created, is to do as he did.
He woke up and he created.
He's the greatest entrepreneurI know.
He built a business in six days.
He retired on the seventh day.
It's been two thousand plusyears.
He has eight billion peopleworking for him and his system

(01:15:22):
has him filled.
Yeah, wow, wow.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
I was gonna ask you to recommend the book, but I
won't because I've already gotthe books here but thank you so
much.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
I've definitely recommended my book.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
I know you will, I know you will.
But thank you so much for yourtime.
I really appreciate you comingin and indeed, it's good we
didn't record the first time Ihave been blessed.
I'm happy to hear that.
My viewers and my listeners aredefinitely going to be blessed.
