Today is Fathers’ Day in the UK and i (along with other fathers) received a special celebration cake from all the mothers in the church. Nice gesture, ladies. After church, i called my Dad just to say ‘Hello’ and wish him ‘Happy Fathers’ day’.
While we were talking i recalled something that he told me many years ago which i still hold on to – till this day. He used to tell me “Invest your time before you invest your money“. I have found this saying to be a good and wise advice because i have tried it and it worked for me. I have even included it in my book “Milestones of Financial Freedom“; i also advice my clients to get a proper knowledge of investments while they are still paying-off consumer debt in anticipation of when they will be able to invest without other debts hanging around their necks. Haste is one of the reasons people lose money in the stock-market and other investment vehicles. Take the time to do your homework properly before you commit your money.
Thanks Dad for the advice. Happy Fathers’ day.

Hi, Niyi!
I love your blogs! I am a writer and so I so appreciate the stories that you tell. I will send you a link to the story series that I write as well. Anyway, your entreprenuerial, business, finance slanted postings are awesome! I wanted to share some info that I think will bless you and your audience. It is a seminar that has taught me alot about being a Christian entrepreneur and visionary. It is called the Vertical Leap Seminar. Check it out at http://www.bossthemovement.com. The Vertical Leap Seminar teaches participants “HOW-TO” creatively “birth” their God-given dream, vision or business idea into reality. There is even a session designed to address one of the major stumbling blocks for many of us (lack of funds). The session is called the “Six Steps to Starting a Business With No Money.” As your dad said, “invest your time before you invest your money!” LOL!
The seminar takes place over a weekend and is an awesome and WORTHY INVESTMENT into one’s dreams. I hope this helps some other of your family of visionaries. Thanks again for the service of your great blog site!
Blessings,
